I found mylot by mistake so to speak and have only been here a little over a week I think. I enjoy the conversations or discussion here. And I basically use it as a winddown. But my question is do people here really use it for the mylot earnings? Hopefully not, at the rate that I am going it will take me 26 days to get to 2 dollars? Whats the point of being here if not for the discussion? Who has made money?

There are people who visit myLot solely for earning. But on most cases, people are here also for enjoyment and interaction. I am one of those people who loves to hear other's thoughts and opinions and at the same time sharing mine. People like you makes myLot more interesting and fun. I hope you enjoy your stay here. I'm looking forward to your discussions. Happy posting!

Hello gardengal... Indeed. The things you have said are true. Yes, I am also here for the discussions, myLot at this point of time has given me a significant amount of wisdom. But I'm actually also in need of money right now(reason posted on some of my discussions hehe), so I am here now for both reasons. ^^ Anyway, I'm looking forward to your discussions too. Let's all have fun here. Cheers!

There a lot of types of people in mylot and most of the people here have earnings in mind when they joined. Why did you join mylot? A lot of members here are money makers already, making some $1.00 a day. That's big enough right? In order to do that, you have to be more active, post more discussions and responses and have a lot of friends on the way. You will help your friends as they would help you. You will have fun making it happen. and it is always satisfying to see your earnings have increase for your activity yesterday.

You're so right, about that! Friends are key to surviving the MyLot experience. They'll defend you when a troll pops by your discussion and is mean to you. They'll respond to your original discussions and help you earn money. Friends will commisserate with you over a bad day. Without my MyLot friends, I'd leave. It's just not worth it for me. I could easily make way more money at a real offline job. My best day ever was close to $6.00. I did that only once. And that was because I was sick and spent five hours online at MyLot. I don't usually have that kind of time. On the day that I earned that amount, I posted mostly responses to other member's discussions and only posted ten original discussions that day.

I suppose they do. I prefer writing where I can get upfront pay, but it is ok here.

Well, both actually. It's like getting paid for having fun. You can't tell ahead of time what your earnings will be. They have a special way of calculating it. You get paid for commenting on other discussions. You also get paid if you start a discussion and other people respond to it. And you earn money for uploading pictures. Depending on what you write you may earn more, if it's alot of good quality information. Stick with it. You'll see. It's addicting and fun. And even better to watch your earnings grow! Have fun!

I originally came here for the earnings. Now it's more on the discussions than the actual earnings.

Hello relundad, I am here to earn extra money while doing a discussions. I don't make much, but it's just enough to pay for some bills in the house. If you work really hard, have friends and post long discussions you'll be able to earn fairly here. Most of your earning here come from posting to discussions or starting a new discussions. You add friend to help you out with your discussion or post to their discussions. It's hard sometime to find something to post to, because if you put just one or two lines you won't earn much. Other way to earn here is to get active referrals and upload lots of pictures. So whatever your choose it involve hard work. Better enjoy it and have fun so you can stay longer here.

Honestly I have no intentions of "working hard" at this. I am here just for the conversations.

I believe that there are more people here who are after the money. I mean, I do not think people would really spend that much time here unless they get something out of it. But I also believe that aside from the money, it's the happiness they get from being able to share their ideas and opinions about certain issues that make their stay here worth it. What I am trying to point out is that while people stay here because of the learnings they get and friends they gain as well as things they can share to others, the earning factor is undeniably one of the reasons why people stay here.

Perhaps both the earnings and discussions. MyLot is enjoyable because they do pay their members when you contribute a lot. Some people do prefer to stay here because of the interesting discussions that really interest them a lot. :-)

I am here for the mylot earnings, but I also like the discussions. I have been paid out once, I earned $18 in a month and a half. This month so far I have made $10 so I don't think I am doing too bad and wasting much of my time as you were implying. I don't think there is any reason for people not being here for the money as long as they are adding constructively to the discussions.

In my situation, I enjoy the conversations or discussion with mylot friends... But of course, I also like to earn money in here... I think people were here for 2 reasons, they want to have online friends and learn new things through discussion and the 2nd reason is because they also want to earn extra... I think there is no problem with that because they don't hurt anybody.. And that must be, right??

Oh definitely nothing wrong with it. As a person who has been working towards becoming debt free for the last couple of years it must never occured to me to look at something that would yield such small earnings. But maybe for some the extra money helps. Just wondering. Nevertheless I am enjoying the convo

Hi relundad. I know that here are many people that stay here only for earnings. They post many discussions don't give any reply to responses and don't give responses for discussions the others post. But I think that it isn't the spirit of mylot. I am here for fun and to meet friends from all the world and I think that it is great. Here you can talk about anything and share opinions and feelings and sometimes open your heart and share your pain and receive support that many times people don't have in another place. And you earn for this and it is an additional that make all better.
