Tasks vs. discussions

I can't believe - I'm too lazy to complete the tasks and I stay with discussions here.Some mylotters succeed in doing both, but anyway this new feature has one big advantage:those who are more interested in earnings can complete the tasks, those who enjoy sharing thoughts, continue discussing.Good.I think there'll be less silly questions about money. :D

Hi silver', it is understandable about how you are thinking about the tasks but they are only there if you really want to try and boost your earnings..I respond a lot to my friends but will have a go at doing a task it does help getting to payout..and is a good idea from myLot for us...but they are hard to do expecially when you get loads of emails in your inbox and are also rying to resond as you really need more time in the day to do them...I only have a limited amount of time here each day but try to do one of the tasks yourself..you could well be pleasantly surpised how much more time you do after doing just one task to be able to boost your earnings...blessings littleowl

One can only hope that this is so. I did one task, but today I couldn't find any to do. So far most of them are about things i know nothing about but I'll keep watching. Mean time I'll keep making discussions.

I think that the Tasks is an extra thing that, perhaps, those who are not so good with discussions might attempt. They aren't for everyone, of course. Most of them do require a better command of English than many members here have. As MyLot research and find more tasks, however, that may change. I believe that many of the early tasks were really no more than 'exercises' with little real earning potential (from MyLot's point of view). As the project grows, however, I believe that we shall see more tasks which are visibly useful and for which people are prepared to pay real money. Of course, MyLot will take their cut (as they should) but the idea is a good one and possibly has a better potential than Amazon's Mechanical Turk. It is up to the individual to realise what they are good at and it is only those who don't who attempt something and then brand it as a 'scam' because it rejects their efforts! I regret to have to tell you that, though the Tasks may appear to offer better earning potential than discussions, the time taken to complete them successfully is not so obvious. If it really is money you are after, there are far more profitable ways of spending your time!

It seems you may have seen some tasks as available...Unfortunately for me,I don't see any available tasks. However attractive the tasks may be,I would not leave the discussions,and I feel they are better :)
