Could less equal more??...

I have been giving this a thought the last couple days. I am overwhelmed with trying to fit in my computer time .... which is almost impossible now a days....trying to keep up on the house and all the projects we have going on around here. I also added couponing to my days so that I can get more for less and build up a stock of things so that when we use up something I am not running out of the house that day to replace something or just plain old going without. Then there is always the important time with family....which of course is why I want to be a work at home mom...not just a stay at home mom...or get a job outside the house and then I wouldnt be with my kids or have the bonding time I have with them now.
So, this has been on my mind the last week. I have signed up with a ton of sites over the years and as I get to payout....I tend to slack with them because of the time it took me to get to payout because I spend little time here and there.
My gpt sites seem to produce nothing lately....as though offers have just stopped crediting for me.....so now I feel why bother, when I could be working on another site that will get me something in that time since my computer time is so limited now a days.
So I have come up with this solution for me.....less will equal more in the long run. If I narrow my sites down to 4 sites...focus on those 4 sites on a daily basis then I will earn more on those sites and it will take me less time to make payout and I will make earn more in the long run.
I am going to try this and see what I earn for the rest of February and all of March and see how much farther ahead I am.
So what do you think, does this make sense?? Have you tried something like this before and was it successful?

I have my ones that do the best for me and only take minutes to do on a list that comes up right away, that way I can get them finished quickly and remember to do them. The survey sites, I have some I concentrate on more than others, but I don't totally do away with the rest. Going down to 4 sites sounds like dwindling down a lot of them, but good luck.

My time online is so limited lately... and I was just thinking that if I had 4 sites that actually pay then I would could focus on them and possibly make more in the long run since I have several sites and I am not getting paid at all right now. Due to lack of time online and my gpt site isnt crediting me at all, I can spend an hour doing offers and get nothing -- that is just frustrating.
Its just depressing taking me 2 to 3 months to get to payout at half my sites so I figure if I spend more time on one....maybe I will make payout every month.
thanks for the response and have a great day!! Happy mylotting. :)

hi bookreadermon I think that your plan is a good one. I have
been going back to bed in the mornings as our room is unmbearably
cold and oddly I am still making about the same earning on mylot
as I did working all day. sometimes cutting down makes what you\do do more productive. I a m so disappointed that mysurvey.com lately has given me nothing but problems. up til this month I was making a solid ten dollars each mo nth to add to my mylot earnings.so now
I need to find another good survey that will pay me always and qualify me always.

thanks Hatley, now just to find the time online and to narrow down the 4 sites... like I know mylot is going to be one of them that I focus on more, I am not going to count my email sites since those I do once a week, and I wont count my search engine sites either since I use those just to search the net... but if I focus on just a couple sites I will get more productive work on them and hopefully cash out every month....which would help out so much!!! :)
thanks for the response and have a great day!! happy Mylotting. :)
RenaiR14....there are many ways to earn online, I would look up things here at mylot --people give out really good information and check peoples profiles, they put links in there to sign up to sites they have been paid from. that is how I got started. :)

Absolutely! I think this is a great plan. I had the same dillemma probably about a year ago where I was all over the web on tons and tons of different sites, so many that I couldn't even keep TRACK of them all let alone make payout at each and every one of them. So I pretty much started closing down most of the accounts that I hadn't earned anything on, and focusing on just a few. Now I don't really do the online thing just because I am too lazy and too impatient to do GPT offers (which, like you mentioned, can be a total waste of time, at times), and stick to MyLot. Of course I do have some money at various survey sites and GPT sites, I just need to make more of it so I can cash out & close down the accounts (Because I probably won't use them again). I typically only use MyLot and Treasure Trooper. And Swagbucks. And Valued OPinions. But mostly just MyLot. What are the sites you've had your best luck with?
Anyway, I definitely agree that less is more. MORE = more overwhelming. Plus, more work it seems like. Of course the only time I would think of to go on MORE sites is when you tend to make over $600 a month on ONE site in a year (because after that you have to claim taxes - in the U.S. at least). Since most of don't, it's not generally something we are to be concerned about.
Good luck with everything!

thanks for the response. I use Swagbucks, Mylot, Fairy Tale Treasures, and now I am trying to build up my blog that i have neglected over the years..... I have a few paid emails that I do as well but those take a while to build up my points/earnings but I will stick with those because I get paid at least once a year with those and they don't take up too much of my time since I do them once a week...like mypoints, inbox dollars. I have added superpoints as well but I only do the lucky button there and dont do the offers or anything...it will be a slow earner as well but I am just trying them out.
Have a great day and Happy Mylotting. :)
