How much actual time do you spend on MyLot per day. I actually am a web designer that works on the computer so I am in and out of the site all through the day and spend approximately an hour at the beginning of the day answering all your e-mails. I love them keep them coming!How long do you spend on MyLot? Would love to hear your answers!

Photoshop - working on Photoshop
I am on Mylot only when working on Photoshop. I need to take a time off from looking at the same picture....I may spend whole day between many pages and my work...

I am exactly the same way... and don't think that I didn't notice that both the avitars you have used have been 'doctored'... nicely though. It is good to do that... What I find is to sharpen before you reduce and then blend after a reduction is done but you are a pro at this so I am sure you already know that... AND you are using grayscale which gets into another ball of wax that I am not going to get into with this particular post. So you are like me you are in and out around work. COOL. Thanks for the post... always enjoy hearing from you pola. Zelo

I have noticed both with my web sites and with MyLot that traffic goes WAY down on the weekends and have thought to hold off on my posts until the weekday where I get much more feedback. Great answer. Zelo

Well now a days I don't spend much time on MyLot at all, maybe an hour a month. Just pop in periodically to see if there are any of my friends saying something I want to comment on. I am a website designer myself, all though I do most of my designing on my own websites now instead of for clients. I get to busy to take on new clients but still have my existing clients I design for. I found that spending my time creating blogs and monetizing them is a much better use of my time. But I didn't go wild on MyLot long enough to purchase and host a few domains and it's just grown from that.

That is awesome. Most all the sites I work on now are my sites as well but most of the work is outsourced so I have time to do other things. I manage what others are doing (which is no small feat in itself) and then go from there. I am the idea guy and the people that I subcontract out to are the minions that get them done... thank God for them! Great post. Zelo

I am on mylot different amounts of time every day it just depends on what is going on for the day. Some days I will be on for hours while other days I may only have time to respond to a couple discussions. Like Friday I am going shopping for my daughter so I won't be home much maybe I can get on a little in the evening and post.

I'm an admininstrative assistant/network admin so I'm at the computer most of the day too. I keep one browser window open to myLot and check on it throughout the day. I like to jump on new discussions in my interest categories soon after they show up. So added altogether I'm probably on myLot about 5 hours give or take an hour. I don't myLot at night or on weekends much because at home my husband and I both play a multi-player game called Puzzle Pirates. It's addicting. -Tink

Again... traffic dictates that between 5-7pm EST is when to make posts (or even before, but not at night and not on the weekends. I think I am going to work with that strategy and see what happens to my revenues. Thanks for the post. Zelo

Well, I've just started out, and I haven't been spending as much time here as I should. Hopefully, as I gain more free time in the future, I'll be here more.

Starting out is the hardest part... stopping is almost impossible. Set aside a set amount of time (hour/2 hours/whatever you can afford) to get yourself started... get to 100 to get your star (more people will answer your posts then) and then to 500 to get to CCP (cut/copy/paste) and then you are well on your way. good luck to you.

I only have about none to the most of 2 hours per day to spend on myLot. I wish I have more time to spend here since there are lots of discussions that I want to participate in but due to the limited time that I have, I will try to do as many discussions that I could and at the same time respond to as many friends' discussions that I could get to.

I am in complete agreement... there are times I just can't get to everybody or times where the discussion taking place is just not relevant so there is no reason for me to muck up the discussion with nonsense.... really don't like that. Thanks for the post. Zelo

Women -- the multitaskers of the world. Can be watching TV, folding laundry, cooking dinner, posting to MyLot, yelling at the kids, and we men come home and say you all do nothing all day. Shame on us! Great post. Zelo

Oh how I do wish for those days again at yelling at children since mine are gown now. As for the multitasking you forgot to mention, shopping, paying bills, playing pogo, shopping, playing pogo, eating, shopping. Oh did I mention also playing on pogo? hahahaha Soon it will be Big Brother 9 also. :) Got my real player all ready for that and bought my super pass so I will be on here even more after that show starts tomorrow night. That is when the house guests are awake on there. LOL I am also proud of you admitting that men think women dont do anything. :) Ok, I got my grandson something for Valentine's mailed to him using snail mail and need to go pay a bill online now so I will get back to doing nothing. LOL LOL LOL Have a super good day my newfound friend.

Well, it varies. During the week I am on bout 1 or 2 hours each day. Unless I am out and have plans. The weekend is when I am on it the most, if I don't have plans. Like Sunday, after church I was pretty much on all day till I went to bed. And the same with Saturday too. Mylot is what I turn to when I have nothing to do. Which seems like all the time. :(

hi, mostly I spend two hours per day on myLot, except when I need to be off. ^^ usually I start from the discussion related to my interests and it will be helpful to get many discussions to respond. or today's top discussion will also be a great source of finding good discussions to respond too. ^^

Well--this is a really good question, zeloguy--thanks for asking! If you asked my hhubby, he would say 'too much time, lol' (he just gets a little upset when I stay up late to try and make payout, or my goal of so many posts per day!). However, on a normal day, I tend to be in and out alot as I also run a message board with nearly 500 members and currently I am trying to deaign a new theme for the community. HTML takes alot of concentration, especially from an amateur like me...but I love to chat, so I take frequent breaks from LG2 and come over to mylot and vice versa. I am a 50 yr old grandmother of 4 and hubby likes me at home now, after working hard most of my adult life. So, you see, I am stalling answeing your question, so as to have time to think about it. I figure I spend about 10 hours per day online, so split that in half because I visit 2 main sites regularily (with hitting a few others sporadically) so Yes, I would say between 4 and 5 hours per day are devoted to mylot. Sundays are usually less as that is a family day whenever possible, Wow--even I did'nt realize I was here this much!

I love to hear it when it's not just kids that are out there making web sites but ordinary people like you and me who do it for the fun of it and sometimes for the profit of it... as with most that have responded... I keep a window open for MyLot and when I get the chance I come back and answer what needs to be answered and post whatever is on my mind. Great answer Zelo

It is hard to say how much time I spend here everyday. It depends on. If I am not very busy, I think I can spend about 1-2 hours posting here.

It really depends. There are times when I get to spend as much as 2 to 3 hours on myLot. That is if I am not really busy. If I have other things to do, I just sign in to check what's new or perhaps be updated about my earnings.

I am not able to say how much time I spend here at mylot. I have office work to do, with that house work and the net. Even in the net i have work and in between attend to posts here. So may be an hour or at the most two. I don't seem to get more time than that. As you said Zeloguy, I am also a multi tasker. Lots of work to do.

At a guess I think I spend about 5 plus hours on here, it depends on what else I have to do in a day. Unfortunately I may have to spend a bit less time on here as I am getting way behind in my other chores so I will have to get them done first in future!!

Since i am new to Mylot and on the first day itself i have spend around 2 hours on it. So, that speaks volume about my time. Moreover, i am liking it a lot so i am planning to spend minimum one hour daily on it.
