Opportunity Knocks Only Once

hi neil, I don't grab every opportunity that comes on my way cause not every opportunity is a good one besides I learned something from the past that's why I don't just grab it easily. hugs for zay and ate patty

We just can't avoid not socializing in the virtual world as it has become part of life now. I know socializing online is wasting our precious time as once gone we'll never be able to capture it back.

Well you are right, sometimes people are on social networking sites..just to waste time actually or well relax too. I spend less time there and more here, as i see opportunity to earn here too as the same time relax.

I'm assuming you started this discussion because you have invited people to join mylot and no one has joined. It does seem like a person would like to make some money for his social activities if it was available, but sadly, it seems like they would rather fritter their time away on sites like facebook than spend time here making money. I had the same problem with my friends. I sent them several emails with the referral link and some with a total explanation of what I was asking. But alas no one even responded to these let alone join our mylot community. After awhile I was kind of glad they didn't because I could post discussions about things we did without worrying about my words hurting their feelings.

I would be very glad if u could help me or guide to make money using social netowrking sites.Even i think the way you do. THERE IS NOTHING we gain by using social network sites except add a few people who we think are friends but they are not real friends in real if one makes an endeavour to make money then i think its worth the effort

Opportunities are all around, and I guess there are those that come are way and there are those that are just around for us to see, lol! There is always an opportunity for those who never stop dreaming and thinking. Create a goal and you can build opportunities around that goal.

i should say i have been not much lucky in this regard. i have tried so hard to get into the freelance writing world. someway unfortunately, i still havent got a chance to prove my mettle. Hope one day somebody would give me a chance to write about their product or some writing assignment where i can show my talent. I am still waiting for that opportunity.

of course I come on mylot for play time, I write and use the internet for making money and only come on mylot when I don't have any writing to do.

As you grow older and mature in life, you will realize that time is not in your favor anymore and you start exploring to other opportunities that could make your goals nearer. I think that is the lesson I learned now that I have entered into another decade older. I would definitely would like to explore especially when the opportunities are easily grabbed nowadays. There is the internet that could provide good ones which before was not available for our parents before. This is a new place to really seek new earning opportunities that lie here.

Hello my friend neildc Ji, Well, in my case, I have alloted my budget from my entertainmaint fund certain amount and I do not allow it to speill outside the container. I am here just to pass my time, with regards to FB, I have just wished two of my friends their happy B'day in advance falling on 20 Oct. I just limit my corrospondance. Net/Computer is my hobby and pass time. Any hobby will cost you and not yield you money. May God bless You and have a great time

Hi neil, I all depends on many things. I cannot invite anyone of my friends here to join, let´s say, mylot. Their native language is Spanish, they want to share their things with their offline friends and the amount of money we earn here is next to nothinh for them. I could not get my 11 year old grandson to come one day to gather the apricots in the ground in the season for the money I get in a month at mylot(and I mean an hour´s work maybe). THere are some countries where that money can be used for a reasonable amount of goods as the dollar is expensive. Not so in my country. We need as much money to live as people in the US. But I work online for my own goals and even if I cannot get one of my friends offline to work here, I can exchange links here for other sites and earn enough money for my vacations. Fortunatly my retirement pension plus some helps I get are enough to pay for living. So I only earn online for my one luxury: traveling. With my $100 a month (I earn that only 11 months though), it is enough for a nice vacation as I live alone. I share here the idea of exchanging site links at PMs and get some money out of them

If your talking about MyLot I totally agree with you. Why wouldn't people want to come here and earn for their time and efforts instead of being on Facebook which earns you NOTHING! I have said that over and over, I just don't understand why people don't want to come here and earn money! Crazy... I will never get it. I am so glad I am here, I would be lost without MyLot.

I have the same dilemma, neil. But I cannot ask them that question, why are they spending their time on those things. They might told me, why can you buy my happiness? You see we have different outlook in life. I've been trying to invite some of my friends also but to no avail. But I do not blame them but myself alone. Perhaps, I don't do it the right way. You know, I want to conduct a seminar on how to earn online, I will set a date and invite my friends and teach them how to do it. Have you tried that strategy? Well, I am contemplating on it as of the moment. Well, hopefully. I will have to try it on the days to come.

Its not just about the monetary part. Its about how useful these are to you and yourself. I would certainly feel it all depends on the perception of individual whether he wants to grab the opportunity or he wants to do away with it.
