Does MyLot Work - Question from an unemployed newbie?

December 29, 2010 6:38pm CST
Hi all, this is my first post. Ive been unemployed for the last 6 months and have decided to get off my backside and try earning some cash in alternative ways to going out and getting a job because no one wants to employ me. So my question is this, Ive been spending hours trawling through the internet tonight trying to find legitimate ways of earning money online and this seems like one of the most trustworthy sites Ive seen. So my question is quite simple, does MyLot work and can you give me some success stories - pleaseee?

Yes mylot pays I don't use it as my primary source of Income however. I actually have a real life job which pays more than any of my online things have so far. I would say your not going to find a job to replace a RL Job unless you are selling a product or Blogging those would be the two big money makers if you but tons and I mean tons of effort and time into them.

Mylot is not my primary source of income in the net. Yes it is one of the most trusthworthy and paying site, that's for sure. I've been paid by mylot. I like this site because it kills boredom. In terms of earning, it depends on your participation. Welcome here in mylot.

Hi vyvess, thanks for the welcome, I guess it would depend on how much time Im prepared to put in to how much I get out like most things in life, so the fact Im unemployed means Im going to be a Millionnaire Rodney!!!

Hi there tinytoez! Welcome to Mylot my friend! Speaking directly to your query, you are at the right path. Mylot works for us and I am one of those who are constantly paid by the site many times. Though, I have to say that working here is not enough. You should have to be in other sites like Mylot. In case, you are interested just message me. So going back to your query, you need to read the mylot guidelines and FAQ for you to have guidelines on what to do here and not to do for you to maximize your time here. Do not hesitate to ask questions to the old members and be humble as Mylot members have different races, culture, beliefs and opinions. Start being of friend to everyone and keep on posting.

Mylot does pay its members through participation in quality discussion but I discourage you to just consider it as your bread and butter because it will never be enough. I have been earning online for the past year and has been active on different sites but I consider it as my part time job, and never will consider it as the main source of income especially if your feeding and supporting a family. I still suggest you to look for a decent job OFFLINE and do ONLINE job as an extra money to get through. Not unless you are a computer programmer or a graphic artist that can really work at home and still earn big amount of money. People would just let themselves think that earning money online is easy but its not. You need time and patience and the skill in order to earn enough. But if you are a person who settles his/her future by earning money, you need to consider working on a fix profit that pays you regularly and not just online job who you can never earn any fix income. Just my two cent, I respect if you still decided to venture online on a full time basis.

Mylot does work, but it requires a lot of time and effort depending on how much you want to make. Mylot won't pay the bills, so its not for someone who is trying to use it to make a living. It however can earn you a little extra cash for those items that don't cost that much, or help shopping online when buying with pay pal. I don't want to discourage you from coming here, but I have to be quite honest here. It's really hard to make a boat lot of cash especially if you're on your own. It takes a month to recieve payment, and not every country will recieve a pay out. Payouts occour around the middle of the month, so if you just started today then chances are you aren't going to make payout by the 31st for the Jan deadline. I suggest you find something with a little higher pay if you want to make a living at home. Try selling avon or something. That'll pay the bills, and you can use mylot to have a little extra spending money.

HWG not all users wil be able to receive thei payout Some countries do not have Paypal and in other countries myLot is not allowed to send payments due to the OFAC rulings. It is explained in the TermsofUse.

Kaylachan what do you mean, every member given they reach the minimum will absolutely get paid along with every other country. It certainly will not be enough to live off but every member gets paid as per their participation as just simply starting discussions will not be participating so be sure to participate by replying to all members.. I sure hope I am reading that wrong as there is no way no member here gets paid, because of their country at all. Any member who reaches the minimum and of course more does get paid here and on time.

Hi kaylachan Thanks for the honesty, right now Im looking for anything that will help, Ive been applying for jobs for months and no one wants me, so this is the first step towards me thinking outside the box with regards to employment. I will keep trying everything I can and maybe I will get a result somehow wether it be on here or elsewhere.

Welcome to mylot, and to answer your question, yes, mylot works and works very well. I have been paid quite a few times and will get paid again next month. You will find that maylot is a very good place to have fun, but you won't make all that much in here, but you do earn, as long as you participate and remain active. You ewarn, but posting discussions, responses and comments. Your posts should be of a good quality as that is what mylot is looking for. You need to read the faq's and guidelines, to find out the do's and don's in here. you will find it a lot of fun in here, as I have, and I hope to continue having fun as well. I don't worry about my earnings since it isn't all that much, as learning outweighs earnings, as the knowledge is priceless. Just keep active,, participate and you will do just fine. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Welcome to mylot. You can earn a lot here at mylot if you can respond as many discussions everyday, and you must have lots of referrals because you get 25 percent of your referrals participations earnings. You can also do task. My favorite task is sharonbucks tasks. It pays you $2.50 to $5 per article. If you're lucky you can make 5 or more articles in one day.

It is fun going to mylot. But this is not my primary source of income as well. If you really want to find a good job online, you can find writing jobs by bidding at freelancers.com or ODesk. You would just need a high-speed internet and a computer to do an 8 hour job. Just like working for a company, you would have to spend more time online to earn good. You also have to sustain a good reputation so that clients would consistently get you to work for them. Good luck.

Hello Tintyoez and welcome to the most legit online forum you will find. myLot has been around now for almost five years and pays each and everyone right on time each and every month. Take a look at the number of posts, for example this is your second and mine is almost 9000. I would not be posting so diligently in my seven month membership here if it were not legit. Familiarize yourself with the guidelines so that you do all the dos and not the do nots. http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx This is a very valuable link as if you are not familiar all your efforts will be lost. Enjoy your stay and have fun and I wish you a successful membership.
