Would you stop MyLoting if they stopped paying?

Is money the primary factor for you to be online on MyLot? Honestly I would say Im hear on mylot to have fun and meet nice people. The money We earn here aint much at all. So its really not worth it wasting so much time just to get paid 10 bucks. Ok It is one of the reason but not the primary reason. I just told you how I look at it. Many of you may think otherwise.

Well, even though the earnings play an important part. It's still fun to participate in discussions. But 60% why I'm here is because of the earnings. I spend a lot of time on MyLot just to increase my earnings and there would be no use being here if there weren't any. I actually have a lot of active referrals so I receive my payout fast.

No I would not because my main purpose for being on mylot is for the conversation. It is not my bread and butter. I enjoy receiving funds for my participation on myLot but would not stop if they stopped paying. Take care and God Bless!

Well, I've thought about this a bit, and a while ago I would have said that no, the money doesn't matter at all, I'm just here for good discussions and having fun. But if I'm really honest, while that is certainly the main reason that I'm here, I joined because it's a paying site - like a lot of other people probably did, and I still think of the earnings as a good incentive. I know it's not very much at all, and in the UK you really can't buy very much at all for £5; the equivalent of the minimum payout, but if we weren't paid then I don't think I would be so active because I'd probably spend more time on other paying sites on the internet. Saying that though, a lot of the time myLot does take me away from better-paying sites, because it's just so darn addictive here. But if it stopped paying then I'd perhaps be less likely to be so distracted by it and more likely to be more active at the other sites. So, in summary (lol!) the money is a factor, but not the primary one. I agree with you!

well, for me, enjoyment and earnings. I am not sure if I would devote my time like what I did now if mylot stop paying. responding to an interesting discussion is fun and you will get paid? that is he reason why I am here. Having fun while earning a few bucks is just amazing.

Hi, a3sachin. Actually I join in mylot is for place to me improve my english. I have try many way before mylot such as read e-book, learn english course. But it still not give me an improvement. When I know there is a place that we can post in english and the earning is depend for our quality post. I decided to join it. In mylot is so advantage for me, because it can show my english quality by the earning that I get. So keep post, do the best. Happy Mylotting...

It would be a shock at first lol.. I wont liek the whole thing and the decision on stop paying. To Be honest I would Probably still post discussions and responses and Earnings and stuff on mylot but I probably wont get on the site as much and post as much has I do now. Hopefully it wont happen soon or would ever happen because mylot is awesome and thats what Most people are on here for is the extra money. So yeah take care and keep posting. ^_^ HAppy Mylotting Payout

I'd probably still be here, because I like the community and have real friends here. To be honest, I wouldn't be here as much, but I'm sure I'd be around once or twice a week. The money's great (it helps pay off debt), but it's totally not the reason I'm here.

No I would still use my lot if they stop paying because I love using forums I am a member of a lot of them and none of them pay for you to post in them! But yes I must say that the money is a real big Bonus though and hope that they don't stop paying

lets face it !! we all joined mylot at first for the money factor....but as we mylot more, money takes a backseat.... but if mylot stops paying then there are lot of other sites and forums where we can discuss... as a result mylot will loose its uniqueness in terms of paying their members... so if mylot stops paying then I won't quit immediately but yes after some time for sure.....

Well, honestly if they stop paying us, I will continue here, because I am involving with alot friends here, they are so cute, so I will never leave here unless if them leave it too, the earn is a benefit for me, not a primary thing for me here. Have a nice day.

Well I guess my answer is going to be pretty much like most of the others so far. I really love being on mylot. I have made some wonderful friends and I enjoy responding to all the different discussions here each day. I look forward to checking my emails to see what my friends have decided to discuss so I can get to posting. I also am here to make some money. Every little bit helps for me right now since I am currently disabled. So I don't think I would leave, but I also wouldn't be able to be as active because I would have to find another way to make some money.

Hi Scahin, one thing I wanna tell you is that money is a bonus that we get here and not the only thing we get here. But its true that If we myLot would not have paid, our enthusiasm would not have been so strong towards it. I still use Yahoo answers, but the only difference is that myLot pays me money for the same I would have done there. So, money is an additional factor and not the only one!!

Thats nice to hear. Glad to see most people post for money and fun. Good. The money aint much but is important to have a balance of everything.

I think mylot is a powerful platform on the internet which really gives you the freedom to give your opinion on so many of our interests which in other ways would have been completely impossible. The other important thing is the dicussions we start which certainly removes almost all of our doubts in everyday life. Thus it is not the money factor why we are here but also the easy way of expressing our opinoin.

To be honest, like most of the individuals who joined myLot, I came here to earn a little extra money for doing something I love. And that just happened to be taking part of discussion topics online. If myLot stopped paying its users, I would probably stop going on. Sorry to say to the staff and to devoted members, but I would really like to earn money for posting in a community like this :P

if you ask me, well, it's a no. i would not stop mylotting if they wont be giving any money to the discussions that we will be making, but of course, i wont be as participative as i am right now. my lot is not my primary source of income, but then, if i wont get anything through this site, then there wont be anything to drive me, or to motivate me into participating more. income that builds up everyday, though little, feels great!

MyLot is fun, addictive and the monetary incentive definitely motivates me to participate more. If MyLot stopped paying, I'm almost positive that I would not post that much. Hopefully that will never happen!! ;)

I will be dishonest if I say that money plays no part in my decision to be in myLot. One of my reasons for signing up when I first saw an advert posted by my upline on myLot was that members can earn through participating in this social network. Back then, I knew nothing about myLot, didn't know anyone here and so money must be a motivating factor for me signing up. I bet that's the honest truth with most folks here. Now that I know the earnings is not much versus the time spent here and I am still fervent about keeping up with my participation, I would say the earning part features less and less in my list of factors that keep me glued to myLot. But if tomorrow, myLot says that there will be no further payouts and members will be participating for free without any earnings, I will still go on but I will re-prioritize my time and probably spend less time here than in the past, but I will not quit from the programme because this is a great site, I have made some good friends here and I enjoy the sharing with the nice folks here. These are enough reasons to keep me going for years to come, as long as myLot continues to exist.

I would be out of here, although I would leave a message to all my myLot friends to keep in contact at my social networking site. I have made so many good friends here. And I would miss them if it has to come to that.

I do enjoy making money on mylot through just having fun on my lot, but if they did away with the earnings, then I would still be on here posting just to have fun and meet new people.
