Why don't people just have fun in here and not worry about the money?

hi everyone: This question has puzzled me for a long time, as people think that inorder to get paid in here, they have to knock thmselves out to reach the payout before the end of the month. Mylot isn't abotu the money in the first place. It is about having fun and learning from others. When a person just knocks themselves out by posting and posting, thinking they will get paid a lot of money, well, they are sadly mistaken. We don't get paid per post in here. we never have. It isn't quantity that matters, but quality. You canj post and post but if none of your posts are of a good quality, then you wo't get paid much if anything at all. people need to relax when they come in here, have fun, anot worry about the money they will make. this place is way to much fun to stress over the money anyway. Let us all just sit back and relax and mylot to your hears content, but please, have fun in the process. Everyone take care, and I wish for all of you a blessed New Year.

I am not worry at all. Coming here is my hobby and I like to see different kinds of discussions. I post or comment or reply if I like. I'm not post for money or something. Think about the money before each post is such a boring think in my mind.

yea, i think that worryi8ng about money all the time can get really boring. i don't find mylot boring at all, as long as I go into it with the idea of having fun and learning from others. I don't owrry about the money either, and by doing so, I do much better and my earnings soar. Thank for you responding, take care, and have a blessed New Year.

I like to see such a new member saying this, ShadowWolf, this is a good out look here and probably on any online earning site but here especially. We all enjoy it here (hopefully) so its nice to pass along the sentiment.

You need to have Paypal http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx to receive money from Mylot.

since you are new, I will explain it to you. Mylot oes pay, although not a lot, buty if you post quality and participate in discussions, you will earn. you don't have to put any money int an account, as mylot is ree, to join and earn. All you need to do is have a verified paypal account, which is linked to your bank account. You have to choose the amount per month that you want to be paid by mylot. the minimum is $10, and most of us have it set for that, as that is easy to get. Now once you start earning, and you feel you can do more than the minimum, then you can change it and set it higher. I have been here since 2009, and I have never changed mine, as I find that the $10 is very easy for me to make, whereas the higher amounts would take me several months to reach. Just keep posting, and you will earn. the earnings are updated every 24 hours, so don't expect your ear4nings to appear right away. If you post quality, you will earn more than if you don't, so keep that in mind. Just stay with it, and you will do fine. Thank you for responding, take care, and have fun mylotting.

Yeah I know what you mean. There are lot of people that comes here for the money which isn't always a bad thing but it is about having fun and sharing your thoughts about things. I share my experiences that I go throw as I watch my kids grown and things I come across. That is always fun but I try hard to not make it about the money all of the time but more about my journey through life.

I find that mylot has helped me in ways i couldn't have imagined like stress, as i totally relax when I am in here, and that is a good thing. I have learned so much from others in here, and I hope that they have learned from me as well. I enjoy being here, so I try to be here as much as I can, even if it isn't everyday. I do try to make up for the times I cant be in hee, but that doesn't always happen either, as something is always coming up to hold me back from coming in here. I was away for awhile, but now that i am back, I am having so much fun, that I find the time gets away from me most times. It is good that you come in here for the fun, as mylot is fun, that is for sure. Take care, and happy mylotting.

My lot helps me with stress a lot two. Having two kids 18 months a part it can be a bit crazy some days and mommy needs a break after a long day of taking care of them. That is good that you have learned a lot from others. You never stop learning that is for sure. I've made some pretty good friends on here myself. Well Mylot has been here from me throw my two pregnancy and still with me as my kids get bigger. I share there life's with my mylot friends that fallow me.

A lot of people come here at first for the money, but after a while you tend to forget about it because there are so many interesting things in mylot. It becomes a habit, then addiction. Those that don't forget about the money, I've noticed, tend not to stick around too long. It's just as well for them and us. Concentrating on the money prevents you from letting go and relaxing and just having an enjoyable experience. And I think some people don't understand the concept of quality over quantity. There are those who are convinced that more is better. As a rule, that doesn't apply here. And Happy New Year to you as well.

you are right about mylot being addictive. Also, the ones that don't enjoy being here, or who thi9nk that mylot doesn't pay enough, like you said, they will leave, but that is okay. There are plenty others that want to be here, and have fun and learn. I never realized that being here could be so much fun, until I started posting in here. Mylot isn't boring, that is for sure, even though there might be discussions that are boring, I just leave them, and do ones that aren't boring and are very interesting. If some people think that more is better, then you are right, that it doesn't apply here, and they wouldn't be happy here anyway. Thank you for responding, and have fun mylotting.

Thanks for commenting, rosekiss. I noticed that some discussions were boring, too. But then I noticed that some of them were not boring to other people. It was a revelation to me. I realized there weren't quite as many boring discussions as I thought. But, confidentially, (I'm whispering now) there are still some that are reeeaaallly boring. Happy mylotting to you too!

I find that when I don't stress out I do better here as well as all of my other earning sites too. If I'm worrying about what I'm doing here then I just am not having fun and it isn't worth it to me to be here. I need to not worry about money for this all to work out for the best of my advantage.

Yeah you are right..There are many people here who post just to earn and not to learn or enjoy. Majority being the newbies. Maybe we should give in a little extra effort to those people to make them have fun here. Cheers!

you are so right. i try to help the newbies as much as possible and explain to them what mylot is all about, and it is up to them to decide if they want to stay and have fun, or leave and find elsewhere to go where they feel they can earn more. I do other sites besides mylot, and I don't earn all that much, but when I add it up, it seems big over time, even though it starts out small. i just hope that the newbies coming in here, will find it a great place to be, have fun, and not worry about what they will make. thank you for responding, and have a great day.

I registered with Mylot a long time ago, the main attraction being the opportunity to acquire a little extra cash. I was here for a while and then ceased to visit for several years, but recently I have decided to spend some time here again. It is nice to get an extra little cash paid into my Paypal account, but that is certainly not the main attraction these days. Mylot is a social site that I treat as a form of entertainment instead of watching television or reading a book etcetera.

Yes, it is nice to get a little extra cash, as we can all use that, eing the economy is so bad. I watch television while myloting, as I have my lasptop on a table in the living room. yes, mylot is a good form of entertainment, and a great place to be. I never tought that a forum could be so much fun, but it is. recently, i started coming back inhere, as i took a break, and decided not to come in here, but I have since realized that I was missing out on all the fun, so i decided to come back and stay here. I do enjoy my time in here very much. Thank you for responding and have a great day.

yes is true but i think in the majority of cases people are active here trying to make some money online so the payment and the payout should be a real target for almost all i think...for this reason people asking about money in discussions on mylot too!!So i am not really sure that many people still active on the site if it would become just a global forum without payments...

I will admit that when I first signed up, i was glad I had found a site that pays, as I have had a hard time finding anything that pays. I also realize that I don't make all that much in here, but even so, it is a bonus, and does add up over time. There probably are some that wouldn't come inhee, if they didn't get paid, but I would still come in hee, as I like the site to much to not be here. I have lots of fun, and have learned a lot, and I hope to continue to do so. Tank you for responding, and take care.

Yes, people should enjoy their time on myLot. While we can earn some money on here (sometimes, even a fairly decent amount), myLot is not a job. Sadly, some people seem to think of it as such and some have even gone so far as to say so in posts. This is one of the sites where I hang out when I am avoiding work--whether it be paid work or some household chore. The fact that I can earn a little bit while I am on here is a nice way to justify me being on here rather than being off doing whatever dreaded task I'm avoiding.

I do the same thing as I do need to do work around the house, but i would rather be in here, as I don't get paid for cleaning my house. You are right though that people should enjoy their time erhe, and I thinkf for some it is drudgery instead of fun. people should just relax and have fun, and their earnings will rise in no time, more than they ever thought possible. If i can avoid doing anything in the house, I will, azs I would rather be here. Thank you for responding and have a great day.

I have wondered this myself. I have come back to mylot again and have noticed that the quality has gone done in many discussions. I am here to make some extra money but honestly i just like the conversations I have had with so many really awesome people. I don't understand those that put up a discussion and just don't respond back at all. To anyone. I hope people are having fun while mylotting and they are more focused on the fun conversation here!

I have responded to discussions where the user that started the discussion wasn't commenting back at all. I think that is rude and just not very courteous. you are right that some discussions just don't have the quality they should have. I think those were started by newbies that want to start as many discussions as they can, thinking that any responses they receive, they would get paid for them. That is not the case, as we only get paid for what we do, and not what others do. I just hope that those users will figure it out in time or read the guidelines so they know the dos and don't in here. You are right that mylot is fun, and we should all just sit back, relax and enjoy our time in here, as that is what mylot is all about after all. thank you for responding, and take care.

Mylot is much more to me than just the money. I come here because I enjoy being here, I have a lot of friends here that I love to see around and I love having discussions with them. =) When I first joined I was much more worried about the money than I am now. Yeah the money helps and is nice but there are more important things here than just that.

Hi Rose, Hi Loving, I think everyone is drawn here by the money until they get to know people here. They learn quickly that many of us become friends. We get involved in each others lives. We cry together and laugh together as we post what is going on in our lives. There is one person here, who is one of my friends... she posts up to 50 or more discussions in a day... she makes over $30 a month.. but the time spent here is beyond what I can do. She uses mylot more as a diary, and then people post back to her. I don't respond to her poll discussion because they will get deleted. She enjoys it here, and she makes money... I enjoy it here, and if I make payout every couple of months, I'm happy... I used to push myself to make it every month, but I don't anymore.

Hi Rosekiss, People are here for different reasons. For some, mylot is a job. It used to be a job for me. I would get up every morning and comment on 100 or more discussions in a day. No we don't get paid per post, but we do get paid for what we type... you type you get paid, I type I get paid... we get paid for our participation in mylot... period. When I commented on 100 posts, they were well thought out responses. I also started some discussions and hosted them. I began to notice something... when I made my own discussion and hosted them, I seemed to make more than when I commented on other people's discussions... so I tried to balance it out... There were times I made $2 and $3 a day here... but I quickly burned myself out... I started here about 5 plus years ago.. and I had a different user name then... I stopped posting here so much because I was busy writing to make part of my living... I now make $4 and even sometimes $5 a day in Yahoo... without having to do much... so I now come back to mylot to generate a little income. If no one is here for the money, will they not use the money they get? Of course they do. If I didn't get paid here, I might still be here, because I used to be on an unpaid forum before I learned of mylot.. I spent lots of time there... so I would probably be here if I didn't get paid... but since they do pay, I will make the best of it. I don't put up garbage discussions just to make a penny or two... I just post when I have something to say.

I started back in 2009, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I did take a little time off though, as I needed a break, but I sure did miss being here, so now I ry to be here as much as I can. I do't start all that many discussions, becasue I find it hard to come up with a good discussion topic, whereas, when I respond, i usually find it easy to type what I want to say. I too, would be here even if I didn't get paid. It is just a great place to be, but beings we do get paid, I like you, will take advantage of my time here. I don't post all that much when I am here, because you said, you can get burned out, and after awhile, I find it hard to find discussions that I want to respond to. when that happens, I will just leave and come back later, or the next day. when I first started it was for the money too, but then I ralized, that the money isn't what is imprtant, as it is the learning that we get from other discussions. I have learned so much in here, more than I ever thought I would. I am here to stay, that is for sure. Thank you for responding, and take care.

The thought of being happy in this site is very ideal. Obviously, one of the reason why they used to stay in this site is to have extra money. People have different way of being happy, enjoying to create or response to their own and other people's discussions. Can we blame not to go for the deadline to reach the pay out system? I don't have any against you about being happy. We have our own perspectives and typically to say, all of us are not in the same track. This is only my personal opinion. There is no perfect world. Happy New Year!

Thank you for rsponding. you are right though, that not everyone is going to be happy here, mainly becasue most feel that they aren't earning enough to even bother. sure, the earnings are small, but it is better than nothing. Not taking a chance in here, is what p[eople get, nothing. If people come in here and feel that mylot doesn't fulfill their needs, then that is okay too. I have found, that for me, it takes away the stress and I forget about things, and just have fun while I am here, and that is what it is about anyway. I wouldn't expect anyone to be in here if they weren't happy, as they need to do what is best for them. I do enjoy being here very much, and i am going to continue to post here. Take care, and have a very good day.

Hi rosekiss, I've been here for ages but I just have fun here by reading the discussions rather than participating in it. I could understand your real message very well. But of course, money does matter to most of us :) so the issue is always there unless for those who don't rely the internet job as their income.

I am just thankful, I make anything at all, what with all tha scams out there. Fun is the nake here, and that I have, and will continue to have. Take care, and have a great day, and have fun as well.

I totally agree with you rosekiss. When I first started here it was all about the money and I didn't see myself get very far. As I begin to spend more time on here I saw how much fun it is to spend time here on mylot and I notice and I wish that other people would notice as well, just come on here and forget about the money as you have said and just come on here to relax and have fun and just watch as your money rises. Then you will get the results that you are looking for. You are right that we don't get paid per post that we post. Forget how many post you make and just enjoy your time on here is all I say. Hopefully people will start figuring that out and start doing that.

A lot of the people that are coming to this site as here and online really only for the income. It is a pity as you state as they would have more fun if they were not focused on the revenue(which is a cool extra). They would also last a lot longer but hey I am not one to judge. Online income should be something passive and an added extra to whatever we are making in real life.

you are so right about the money we make online as being passive. What I make online, sure isn't much, but it is exra, and will add up ever so slowly, and that is all that matters. The ones here for the money are not going to be active anyway, and they won't post quality, so they really won't make all that much anyway. frankly, those that complain about the money, shouldn't be here in the first place, as they make it hard for others to enjoy themselves in here. I want to enjoy myself that is for sure, and I am doing just that. thank you for responding, and take care.

Sadly, everyone needs money. They need an extra cash here and there in order to buy groceries. Mylot actually provides a place for some people to make extra pocket change. That's why Mylot seem to attract desperate people and they are disappointed that they don't get much in the end. Since people realise this, they probably rather spend more time to get more money else where. You can tell these people to relax but they felt cheated though.

you are right that earning in here doesn't give a person much, and yes, they might feel cheated, but like i said before, that it all adds up over time. It might take awhile, but it will add up, and that is what is important. I have way to much fun in here to even worry about it, even though, i am one of those people that need money desperately. i know I won't get what i need in here, but i come in here anyway, as I have fun responding to others, and commenting back too. It is a great place to be, no matter the amount we get or even if we didn't get anything at all. thank you for responding, and have a great day.

People here are not really for the money. Let's do the Math. You make 100 posts a day which is roughly equivalent to $1, but doing it is like you're in a forced labor mode. You will not be happy while doing it because you aim for the money and not for the discussion. The quality of your post may get affected too because of that. I have made more than 30 posts in a day but I was really tired doing that. If you want to really earn money from here, try having more active referrals.

When it comes to referrals, I don't have any in here, and I have been able to do it on my own. It isn't for lack of trying to get referrals, it is just that people need money, and they don't feel that coming into mylot is worth their time or effort. Sure, i need money like anyone else, but as long as I don't stress about it, things go better for me, and i end up with more than I anticipate4d anyway. Thank you for responding, and take care.
