Another observation :)

I just noticed that when there are new members in myLot, their most asked question is: How do you earn online? Or Ways to make money online. I should know since I asked that too when I got into this site. In fact, that was actually my first post. :)) I'm not making fun of new members who asked that since I posted a discussion about that too. It was just an observation :)

Actually this is very common to newbies like me because after reading the guidelines still you are quite misled by the mindset that mylot is a blogging site. As what happened to me, my friend told me that this is a blogging site and I was so confused how to post blogs here. Then I have observed that it is more on discussion so I posted and asked "How to earn in mylot". hehe.

It is quite common for people to jump in to something without reading the rules so to speak. I did and still do. I don't do anything really abusive so think if I make a mistake I'll be informed and then make corrections. However, some members might be short tempered. That is what I've found in forums etc but Mylot has some very good people in it.

Don't worry. I'm not judging you :) It's really common for newbies like us to get confused and seek for advice that's why we ask such questions :)

But thanks to all of you because you responded and at least I have understood mylot quite well. For me, the website's layout is not quite a user-friendly but I do not know to others if the first time they signed up here they easily know how this website works.

I think this is due to the fact that almost all new members are really here to earn money. When I was also new here, I also asked the same question and created a discussion regarding that :)

And also newbies when it comes to working and earning online :) That's why they post a discussion on that so that the more experienced one will be able to help them and enlighten them about how online thing works.

This same question over and over is ok if it applies to the individual because everyone is different and sometimes a person needs so one on one attention to understand something.

As long as their are new members, and they don't know how to earn money, that question is going to be asked again and again. i don't always respond back to those, as there are just way to many of them, and after awhile, I end up repeating myself. I think though, that if they would read the faq's and guidelines, there would be a lot less of those discussions being posted. I have been here long enough to know that they will continue, and will be ignored. Take care, and have a very good day.

Maybe because its easier to ask rather than go through the guidelines? I don't know. Though honestly, I didn't bother reading the faq at first and I only went through them just recently. Shame on me :))

I didn't do that as a newbie, hahaha :D. But I've actually noticed this tendency myself, too. Some of them just come here for earning the money, and expect that others do the same, too :D. I actually like that this hasn't turned to an online marketing/MLM forum with people spamming their stuff everywhere :).

Good for you :) I posed the same question when I first started here :) And yes, it's a good thing myLot does not allow its members to post referral links and other spamming stuff :)

that's why if mylot stopped paying, i'll probably drop out. hopefully, it won't! but mylot also became my link to other online opportunities. if i never stumbled on mylot i wouldn't know about the various ways of earning online, while meeting people around the world, helping them and learning from them.

Same here :) myLot has definitely opened a lot of earning opportunities :) Thanks to myLot members for sharing their knowledge about earning online :)

Yes maybe most of them say that, because I'm sure they've done finding ways to earn money online. Which is normal and no ssalahnya if as long in MyLot we tell them. Wow, you write like that when I first joined MyLot? Most likely means to do so when the new joined MyLot.

I am new to this whole earning online thing that's why I did ask when I first joined myLot. And I'm glad I did because the members gave a lot of good, legitimate paying sites which I'm now a member :)

A lot of new members come to Mylot thinking it will make them some serious money, and a lot are disappointed, it's only when you view just what Mylot can offer, that you understand it's full potential. And yes I too probably started off on the same lines. With the way the world is today, so many are turning to the internet to make money, when jobs are becoming scarce and businesses are folding. It's also great to find out by recommendation what sites are paying and which ones to avoid.

I agree :) It's no wonder members here are constantly seeking for advice about earning online and where they can legitimately earn. Alot of people do resort to the Internet now to earn extra because at times, what they earn from their regular job is not enough.

for sure this observation is quite true and most of the time it is not fair to post such topics here

What topic? The online thing or my observation? If its about my post, I'm merely making an observation and as I've said, I'm not making fun of anything. I also asked the same thing when I started here a week ago :) If it's about the online posts by the other members, I do understand that some, like me, are still newbies when it comes to this that's why asking questions and seeking advice from the more experienced ones is the first thing to ask :)

Money is a big attraction, was and still is for me. It is a reward that you can realize as something touchable. The question back to people maybe should be what do you want the money for? Only then do we see the motivation behind the question. Just an observation. As far as understanding how things work it can be a continual question we all ask ourselves from time to time because the dynamics of it can change. I just answer by saying keep discussing and you will find out.

Who doesn't want to earn money without exerting too much effort right? And yes, people will keep on asking the same question over and over especially now when there are many sites made available to the public.

It isn't a matter of special attention at MyLot only. All of the online sites that have most visitors are with the subject of online earnings/more income through online activities/new ways to earn online etc. Certainly, make more money is the most attractive or essential subject since centuries.

I agree with you :) Even online writing sites provide articles about different ways to earn online. And I also saw some blogs dedicated to that. It's one of the most common topics since people are resorting to the Internet to make money.

I'd say that's an accurate observation. My first discussion here was also on that topic. It's just one most common topic that every one here can relate, I suppose...
@ayeeesha (1127)

That's true. Plus the fact that alot of members here have experience when it comes to working online. To be honest, I wouldn't have any idea about different the online sites if I didn't ask that question.
