myLot is about interaction.
myLot is NOT a place to post referral links to other earning sites.
myLot is NOT a place to post advertising for a business.
We learn this from the guidelines. You may not post links that you stand to make a profit from.
myLot is not a site for random polls. You can get that at any social site. It is a place where you can make friends and learn new things. As a side benefit, when you post something that people can discuss with you, you will earn.
So, POST something. "I am from some country" "I work at such and such" or "I stay home and do so and so". "This is my favorite meal".
You are welcome to post about family and jobs and pets and food and anything that will let us get to know you.
You are also welcome to visit any of our posts and talk with us on the topic. We do not care if your English needs to improve, you can practice with us. It is okay.
Getting to know one another is what it is all about, on myLot.
Welcome, tell us all about it. I know if you start showing up on my discussions, I will be visiting your profile, hoping to learn about you, and hoping you have some discussions to respond to.

I feel hopeful when they know better and begin to do better. I have seen it go both ways, though. Some people get mad if you try to help.

Yes, we get to the point that we want to say "Well, what about it?"

I have seen people who have started poorly turn it around, but it takes a real willingness to learn and to try other things. I am just seeing a lot of posts that are either deliberate spam or are just from people not understanding.

Yes, I have seen you around a bit. There are many things I like. Do you find it gets easier the longer you are here? More friends, more opportunities?

People who come in with that attitude are often the ones who stay and become great contributors.

It is really a unique community that gives us a chance to earn a little, but also gives a chance to become rich in friends.

@allknowing For me, not too much. I make more in an hour at work than in a month here. On the other hand, there are people in poor countries who can buy a month's worth of food with what they can earn here, if they work. You and I know the payoff of interaction.

@GardenGerty No matter how hard one works here the earnings are not that one can survive on. To get to 5 dollars one spends an equal amount for ISP or more, 5 dollars work out to around Rs. 350 or thereabout.which could take a month to earn. We pay our maid that much every day. It is better for those who come here mainly to earn if they did some manual work instead . Men get paid double that amount. I therefore doubt if those who come here and do not do what they are expected to do know how this site works. With a bit of telling off and some experience they should get the hang of it.
I kept a tab on how much I earned just now - just curious. I was here for two hours and earned 4 cents - I am here because I like to interact at a global level. For the time one spends here one should know it is not the earnings but the relaxation one gets being here.

@GardenGerty I do not think so. How much can one earn at myLot that they will consider this as work.

You always seem to get someone doing that, they don't read what they need to be doing in the first place. First thing you should do when joining a new website is read what you need to be doing.

Exactly. Then they say,"Well I am putting up lots of posts so I can earn". It is hard to get them to understand that if no one responds they do not earn.

@DWDavis Not sure if it is in the Bible in those words but that lines up with the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin in a way.

@GardenGerty Now that you've reminded me, I do believe those are the parables I must have been trying to think of.

@GardenGerty Lest if only one be saved, then the effort was worthwhile. I don't know if that's Biblical, but it fits.

Most of my responses are more tha just a brief line. I've written about projects I'm working on....I've even had PMs from other Mylotters who want more information.

I think it is a good add on to your post about short posts. I see some people who are really trying, but for some reason are clueless how to begin. I see others who are "trying" in the other sense of the word and trying to get away with things.

@GardenGerty People think this is a get rich quick site which is so silly. They thing it is all about posts and not the content which is terrible. But we can all work together and explain these things to people.

Some great thoughts and at least we can choose here whether we want to see something that have some of the Negativity and Craziness that is posted on Facebook.

No it isn't. They look at it as a good exposure, then find themselves ignored or reported.

I enjoy writing, and responding, but, hard if it is just a one liner, or 5 topics up by one person and not much to discuss.

Sometimes people need reminding, or a point in the right direction. Yesterday seemed to be that kind of day.
