i just got hired through odesk to make relevant posts to a relatively new website. it's fun because it is similar to mylot where i can just speak my mind and get paid for my opinion, but of course, it pays much higher than here, however, it is only a 3-week job, but if the employer sees that my posts are good, they are willing to rehire.
what about you? have you tried being a forum poster? any good or bad experiences? i'd really appreciate you sharing them here on this discussion.

hello annavi23! maybe you're not the adventurous type but there are a lot of opportunities to earn available over the internet. if you're just cautious of being scammed, you can check out my site on my profile here on mylot. I have links there to legit online sites which i have tried first hand where you can earn without fear or anxiety.
regarding odesk, you can apply to be a part of odesk which is a kind of site which matches employers to possible employees. they have a lot of available jobs posted and being a forum poster was just one of the openings which i applied for because i am a freelance writer and i would prefer something that wouldn't tie me down for a long time.
if you have any more questions, you can pm me or post your query/ies here.

There are other websites out there that are like MyLot. Have you heard of Earning Palace? They are like MyLot and they pay more for every posts and replies. I happened to visit their site, but aborted signing up there because I don't like their payment processor. They pay via Liberty Reserve. And another thing that I don't like about their site is, virus and spyware-loving banners are flashing everywhere! It's like entering a hell-like cave-like website full of devilish spyware and virus-loving banners! 
nice one,my friend!

Still I have not tried to write in forums, overcoat because they are in English the majority, and if I want to do it I have that first to write in my language that he is the Spanish, later I have to translate, and finally I have to copy it, it is heavy enough but I am doing it here in Mylot, and I cannot stand very much when I stop doing a translation and the page is fallen, or when I have to copy of the translator to the page where this the discussion line for line and closes the account, turned to repeating everything. Equal I am searching carefully for myself here in MyLot and if I want to win mas am going to try it in other sites, it is necessary to optimize the time.

hello MDG2211! it just takes some amount of practice. if you keep at it, i'm quite sure you'll be able to learn the English language more. just keep posting here on mylot so you'll be more comfortable in writing in English. In the future, I know you'll be able to post in forums like me too.
Good luck!

Wow, that's amazing. You got hired at odesk already. I have been really trying my best to get hired in that site but at present, I am still not successful in doing it. I hope this job of yours will turn out to be a lasting one. I have been reading your blogs and I am pretty sure this will be a very good additional to your monthly earnings as a freelance writer in the internet. Best of luck for you. I knnow you really have the talent to suceed.

hello joiemarvic! there are a lot of opportunities at odesk now, some are even for writing but the rates are going lower and lower, and they are now requiring a faster turnaround so i preferred not to take them. i also hope that i will be rehired in this work because it is relatively easy, although i was able to see other vacancies with higher rates. i do not want to be greedy though.
thanks for following my blogs. i'm sure you can earn better than what i'm making. sometimes it just takes a little luck and the right opportunity.
here's to the best of luck for both of us. cheers!

hi joram,
well i am into forum posting these days. i am working in a group and my assigned work for now is posting on different forum sites. its fun thing to do but not as fun here in mylot. lol!
its easy to post when the topics are within my interest, what i just don't like is its kinda time consuming and i have to think of a signature too. haha and i hate it when i find out the next day that my account has been banned. lol!
but with regards to payment, i am happy and contented with what i am getting, its just a good thing that the one who pays me is someone whom i know personally.
good luck on your work.
by the way i am also registered in odesk, but i don't have the chance yet to get work from there...im lazy in taking up their exams. lol!

I have heard a lot about Odesk but I have not tried it yet. Yes, it says tht it pays a lot better. I still have to check it out again and see the possibilities of earning there.

I got tricked before. There was this member who was looking for such kind of people who will post in forums. They pay mentioned was really good, the number of posts required was quite high, but as soon as payout time came, she became out of touch and that's it. I wasted a lot of time and effort posting for nothing. She's an example of a scammer.

Hello,
That is such a great job you got there. I hope you will do it longer than 3 weeks.
Mylot is the only place I do posting. I would like to earn on other sites which pays more as well.
