Money or people??!?

January 30, 2007 8:08am CST
Surfing on myLot I noticed that some myLot users have a slight concern: how to increase their own earnings. Well, I knew this forum because I needed to find another job, but now, after four days, I have understand that the earnings are very low, but on the other hand, I'm finding new friends and I'm improving my bad English.... so, what do you think about people trying to increase their earnings and nothing else? It's sad, isn't it?

nothing is sad only if you know what you are doing. i think most people here not only just for fun,that is most of them want to make money,or why they spend so much time here. In my opinion i don't hope a person who need money spend long time here.because we can find a job that will give us more money than mylot:)GOOD LUCK

Yes, in fact.... it's hard to earn one dollar a day.... what work pays less than one dollar a day? So I agree with you, if you want earn something, maybe it's better to find another work....

Mylot, for me, just interesting with some tiny earnings. But, then I found that I can make friends with people all around the world, for me , this is more important, and I can improve my poor English. This is such a wonderful place. And I want to say, so nice to meet you.

Hi Diansinta, I agree with you comment, in fact it's possible to improve our English here on myLot. Yes, this is not the only reason why we are here, I think the most important one is meeting new friends - like you, for instance - but, I think that improving languages is another good reason to connect on myLot.

Instead my referrer told me that I could make money on this forum and so I made my subscription. However I think exactly like you, money are bonous for me too.

I joined mylot because I love to write and meet new people. I've accomplished both in the short time I've been a member. You see, I'm a photojournalist who couldn't make money in my career, so I sell ocean front properties in Baja, Mexico for a living. Obviously in real estate, I don't get to write much, except for contracts. So when I feel the urge to release some creative juices, I log on to mylot! This is great...and if they want to pay me $1, that's good too!

Well, every people have their own reason and can't blame them for that. I didn't earn that much on my lot but I did earn a lot of friends. Same like you, it improves my english and as a matter of fact it is very interesting knowing other people think and opinion from other part of the world....

Yes Apakabar, you are right, I want only say that to me there is no problem if people consider money more important than friendship, so I don't blame anyone, I'm a libertarian person, I'm always for freedom.

If i tell you i am not aiming at money , I must be lying .But the fact mylot only pays so low makes me the same no matter it is $10 or $9 one month. WHat I enjoy most is the discussions with other members, everyday I can learn some new thing from discussions of other people. I also enjoy meeting some new people, and we can develop meaningful discussions sometimes. Work hard,my friend...

It is sad. Of course everyone wants to earn a little but it shouldn't be at the expense of reducing quality. I've only been a member for a week and I am fed up seeing postings about various money making referrals, links and websites... there's more to life than profit, profit, profit!

Well Zmugzy, I agree with you, the desire of earning more should not reduce the quality of our messages. But everybody is free to do what he/she wants, and I'm free if posting a comment or not to a message I don't like.

hi francyDafne yep! i joined to make a little extra money but once you start making friends they in turn help you with so many ideas and programes its like a goldmine of information so you do end up making money in the long run and also get to meet such wonderful people from all over the world so i think its a win-win situation :)

Yeah AnoChaudhary, I like your definition "win-win situation". I like creative neologisms :) Well, I agree with your comment, and.... thank you for asking me to become your friend. Bye bye

Money is secondary to me, friends not that important. But I learn a lot at mylot. I get all kind of useful links, learn new tricks, improve on my typing and on my English. And I think if you would ask the right questions about finding a job that is right for you, the other members will teach you that trick, too.

Yes, infact.... as you say, "the other members will teach you that trick", because this forum is a sort of community in which some people help who needs something.... so you say that friends are not that important, but people who help you are a little friends, or not?

yes this is bad i agree with you but why don't have both of them making good friends and also make some money one is not against the other. but i see that some people here just adding friends to there list to get more posts to there discussions, i don't like that making friends for some benefit but still mylot is very good site to learn chat and making friends and i also using mylot to improve my english specially the spelling

Yes Mamounz, you right, a good earning with good friendships.... why not? But if I had been forced to choose, I'd prefer friendship. How ever thank you for your response, I appreciated it.

I think many people first start discussions for money,but after making a lot of friends they will like discussion with them like mylot.That's not only for money.

Yes Stelly, I agree with you. It's easy to make friends here and even if we live in far countries, I often take a look on myLot hoping that some friends of mine sent a personal message to me or posted a comment to a discussion of mine.

Yes, that's very true. I am enjoying the exchange that the earnings are a bonus to me. Of course, there is an opportunity cost to this, so it is good to have a reasonable income from the effort. But is really is a great learning experience. I am sad for those who have not started to appreciate this. thanks for this discussion. : cheers!

Well Tin, I totally agree with you. Earnings are a "bonus" as you say, I like this definition. Thank you!
