Someone you know would love mylot if they gave it a chance, BUT..... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. olydove (487)   ranked 51 out of 1,108 in mylot1 month ago

Yes there's always a "but" somewhere isn't there? LOL! Anyhow I need your advise my friends. You see I'm in a bit of a predicament here and I just don't know how to handle it. What do you do when someone you know would love MyLot and have fun if they gave it a fair chance.. just won't log in?

You see quite some time ago I invited my mother to mylot. She uses other social sites mainly one in particular, and she is on it almost all day with people she barely knows, sending comments back and forth etc.. but no real quality discussions except for with a select few people. Not to mention she doesn't earn not one cent over there either. Naturally I have been honest with her about the fact that we don't get rich here and the pennies we earn a just a kind of bonus,.. but for me the friends I have made, things I have learned, and fun I have had here far exceed any amount we could possibly get to use the site anyhow. I know that if she gave it a chance she'd feel the same way.

So anyhow my mother has already made her profile here a couple of months ago, and she did log in a couple of times to respond to a few discussions that I started, but other than that nothing. She didn't take the time to browse around and get a feel for the site. I even offered to sit with her and show her how mylot works and all that good stuff. Now it would be very different if I didn't think she would have fun here, but I am 10000% certain that she really would enjoy the site and make some good friends here too. So I've asked her and asked her and I don't want to give up on asking her but what else can I do?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Maybe even post your thoughts about MyLot so I can ask her to come read this discussion to see your responses?

Happy MyLottinghappy

I have a few people I know would love it too, but they are so busy with other things that they just can't get back to it. I don't want to pester them too much either. maybe if you find a discussion that you know she would be really interested in and show it to her?


myLot reputation of 97/100. olydove (487)   ranked 51 out of 1,108 in mylot  4 weeks ago

That's a good idea, and I have done that. She did respond to I think two discussions. As for being busy she's really not busy at all. She has been ill the past few days, but she spends 90% of her online time at tagged so I asked her if she'd just pop in and check out mylot, maybe she'd find a discussion that interests her, but no such luck. Oh well I guess you win some you lose some right? LOL! Sorry it took so long for me to respond I went to visit my internet momma in Spokane and have been busy trying to play catch up on missed tasks since I got home last Sunday.

From my own personal experience, some people just AREN'T.. "into" MyLot, and may never get into it like we are. I also tried to get my sister (who's username is CarlaS) into MyLot, and she came on a few times, probably posted about 100 times in 3-4 months, but never really made me any money (as my referral) or never truly got addicted like me. And that's OK. To each's own. It's unfortunate that your referral doesn't see MyLot the same way you do, but in my opinion, sometimes.. it's just not going to work out.


myLot reputation of 97/100. olydove (487)   ranked 51 out of 1,108 in mylot  4 weeks ago

Very true Maezee, everyone has different tastes indeed. I am not so much worried about her making me money as a referral, but her having meaningful discussions and interaction with others, and maybe making a few pennies to help herself feel proud along the way. I know my mother has much to offer as far as life experiences for many here, and I know she herself might benefit from the insight of others here too. Who knows maybe someday she'll get bored and pop in right?

Sorry to hear your sister didn't get into MyLot like we did. It's sad really I've found this place to be great, and I feel like so many others are missing out.

Mylot is a great site, and I come here everyday because, I like the discussions I like the friends I have made here, I like the earnings I make here in Mylot, believe me I have search the interne,t trying to find a web site, that matches Mylot there isn't any, I have found one I thought would be good but, I came back to Mylot because that other web site was not worth my time. happythumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. olydove (487)   ranked 51 out of 1,108 in mylot  4 weeks ago

notlistening2 I couldn't agree with you more. I have been to other websites but it's just not the same. Mylot is so much more fun to me than other sites I guess because of the personalization I encounter here. In other sites we post pretty html comments which can be nice but to me this is so much better. I'm glad to see others feel similar as I do about mylot. happy

I was your mother a couple of months ago (figuratively speaking, of course). I had somebody that kept pestering me to join myLot, so I finally did. Once I joined, though, I was not really active at first. It did not seem all that interesting to me, and I am not really into social networking sites anyways. Then, I started responding more, and I met some really interesting people on here and started having a lot of fun. Now, I feel like I am missing out if I don't come on here every day. Maybe if your mother gives it another try and tries to find other people with the same interests and personality as her that she can interact with on here, then she will realize just how much fun you can have on myLot. In addition, the few pennies that we earn each day will be an added bonus. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. olydove (487)   ranked 51 out of 1,108 in mylot  4 weeks ago

How awesome that you did get to like it here. I have been absent lately as I have been extremely busy and I've missed mylot so much. I've missed my friends, and the interaction here, and the great discussions. I know what you mean by "missing out" because it's how I have felt these past few weeks. I hope now things will calm down a bit so I can come in here for at least a little while daily. Yes the few pennies we get are an added bonus and I plan on thinking about them as maybe my piggy bank set aside for a rainy day or to go towards birthday gifts or something. Who knows if I actually can manage to get in here daily maybe it will be a nice surprise by the end of one year or so to see how much I've earned by then. The old saying goes a penny saved is a penny earned, and lord knows we can use all the pennies we can get right?


myLot reputation of 94/100. purplealabaster (780)   ranked 10 out of 1,108 in mylot  4 weeks ago

In just a few months, the earnings have really added up. It will never make me rich or anything, but it just might allow us to buy some stuff for the little one for Christmas. It also feels good to be able to contribute financially, even if it is only a few dollars, because that is what will make the difference in whether or not we will be able to do a little extra over the holidays. Don't get me wrong, I love being a stay-at-home mom, and that is what is best for our family at this point, but it does take its toll financially.

MyLot has opened up a whole new world for me. It allows me to have contact with people that I would never be able to meet in real life, but they make my life a lot richer from my interaction with them on here. I really do feel like I would have missed out if I had never have given myLot a chance.

I love mylot although my life has been far to chaotic to be here as I would like. this place has opened up a new world of people and information to me and I would be lost without my friend here.
Sometimes people don't care to join us in any of our endeavors why? only they know for sure. I can only hope your mom opens her heart and mind and joins us at this wonderful place.
