Has anyone taken the time to do a task?

And found it worth it? I took a couple days off from Mylot and when I sign on I have a "new alert" yeah! So I click on that first and find out that we can now make money off of doing these tasks. I just clicked on the task key to see what all was up for the time being and was suprised. I hate downloading task bars so thats not really an option for me. Has anyone done a couple tasks yet and found it beneficial to making money on here? If so how much did you make so far?

I tried a few but I don't know if I did them right. I haven't gotten credit yet. They are still pending. I'm going to wait to see if I get credit before I do more in case I did them wrong.

I haven't made any money so far. But I did just finish my 1st task a few minutes ago. It has a payout of $2. So I figure why not give it a shot. I am waiting to see what happens.

I've only did 3 task so far. They are still pending, so I don't know yet if it has been approved or not. I hope they get approve because that would be $3.50. It takes some extra time to do those tasks, especially writing paragraphs. I don't download things like that to my computer because you never know if theres a virus or something. I'm not going to do any more tasks until I find out if my current tasks has been approved or not.

Thats not good! I was afraid to do that one, I guess its good that I didn't even bother. Let's just hope it didn't have an effect on your computer! Thanks for sharing!

I have taken a look and already I am having problems changing screens. I am not too keen as I prefer writing and discussions. I don't know if I am just fighting change; I just don't like these new tasks. I'll keep checking to see what's there though. I don't like the fact that you put in the time to complete the task but you don't know if it has earned you anything. At least with posting you know you will get definitely get something for your effort even it's just a couple of cents.

I'm not a fan of the tasks that they have on there. I did one had it typed up was about to submit it and it was gone (seems to be a problem now that I have posted this). So I am a bit disappointed about how they are going about it I guess. I'll keep my eyes open because you can get a payout quicker by doing some but if it involves downloading stuff to my computer I'll pass!

I was supposed to submit an article about a particle topic. But when I finished writing it, I found out that task wasn't there anymore. So it was a wasted effort on my part :(

I did the same exact thing. I was VERY disappointed because I figured hey lets give it a try and it already isn't seeming worth it.

no i haven't actually... because i haven't really find a task that suit me really well... i don't like to download task bar and writing movie reviews... and that is what the available tasks at the moment... when i can find one that suit me, i will do it and see whether it is worth it or not... for the time being, i will just stay here and posting and replying to discussions... take care and have a nice day...

I have not done any task yet because I haven't seen any worth my time (yet). I mean the one's I have seen so far only pay a tiny bit of change and it seems like a lot of work for such a small amount of change. I can simply stick to this chatting format and make more money per post then I can doing a task for 0.10-0.25 that will take me awhile to complete and there still is a chance that this task will be rejected. But don't get me wrong, if I see a task for a $1.00 or more I will give it a shot.

I did one yesterday, which was worth 3 dollars. It's still pending. I'm waiting to see whether it's been accepted or not. But I think that it's still worth doing. If it's accepted, I get three dollars. And if it isn't, nothing's lost. I can still keep responding on mylot, either way.

You know I went in after I put up this post to see if any came up more. Well I went to go do one task and didn't realize I needed to accept it. I just thought you typed up a paper and put it in. Well the stupid thing was gone once I got around to it. That was worth $2.00. So I will definately need to keep my eyes open. Thanks for your response!

To be honest with you, no. I haven't really tried anything yet but I am still willing to give it a go as soon as I see something that could be worth trying. It seems to me that the tasks are a little challenging. It is not that I am not up to the challenge however I just want to be sure that it will be worth my valuable time to complete. There seems to be competition out there in the myLot community and only a certain amount of tasks and time to perform a task. It is still worth a try but in the mean time I am sticking to what I normally do around here. I think that the new stimulus package is a pretty good idea and might prove lucrative to members here. I wish you luck.

I did three of them today. The three of them together are were $2.35 so I think it was worth it. At least considering how long it would have me to make that much with just posting discussions and responding to other discussions. So hopefully all three will be accepted and I'll get paid for them.

Oh Wow! Thats good money in comparison to just chatting and trying to make that $10 payout. Doing 3 a day would almost be worth it! I have a total of maybe $0.75 on the couple I looked at. I think I just need to pay attention and see what they offer! Thanks for your response!

Yes I have done several tasks and got a $3 and 25 cent one approved already so I am pleased. I think the tasks are a great idea and will help those interested boost their earnings on here. I do prefer the $3 ones as they pay much higher and can be completed in an hour. I am pretty good with keywords and writing so feel like I should be able to do several of these each week if they are available. I would never earn $3 for discussions for an hour so I feel it is a good pay for these 4 paragraphs

I haven't checked the task option yet. If they asked me to download the task bar, I rather use my laptop to do so. Otherwise, I won't risk my desktop to download something infected. It is my work station for God's sake.

I have not. I am too busy writing and besides here we do not have to worry about reviewing a certain product or downloading a toolbar to see it will work, or going all over the net to search for something or to take a camera and take photos of your favorite restaurant, etc. I would rather write something that I like and give and get advise here. I mean if you are into non-fiction and writing reviews, I would rather write the review in that little gray box, not go over to the site and write a review there and copy it here or go search and enter all the urls,and then go to five or six pages down, etc. It sounds rather complicated. And they have not asked us to write a mystery story relating to a specific event yet. That is something I would be good at.

I have tried accepting a task but i don't quite know how it works. The one i accepted was the one where i need to make 4 paragraph with not less than 3 sentences each. It's just a test run for me so i really don't expect to get anything from it yet.
