I'm not lucky enough with networking

I joined lots of networking thingy already. And I am having a hard time gaining back my registration fee for I don’t have people under me. It’s so hard to convince people when it comes to networking. Though there are things that I get after I signed up but it will not compensate with the amount that I paid. And in order for me to gain back, I have to convince people to join under me. Huh! What a life! It’s fun though and it’s challenging but I’m not that lucky enough in that kind of business. Or whatever!
