hello, i know this question and topic was asked many times before me but since i am too lazy to look and read for it i am making my own thread. i finally reach the $10 today (after 2 weeks of posting) and i am wondering what you guys did on your 1st payment. i know it is not a lot but it is something that you can use to buy a card or chocolate (for your love one). in my case, i am planning to save it till july and see how much i can get so i can buy something for our wedding anniversary. i usually make something coz i hate buying a gift that dont really comes from my pocket so i just make up by making something for him as my personalized gift. so this time i am hoping that i can make something different since i havent done it for almost 4yrs now (buying a gift for him). anyway, forgive my nosiness - im having a hard time keeping the curious george inside me... haha! looking forward to hear your story! takecare!

I have $12.03 right now but I think I am going to wait for a while before I cashout. I would like to save it so i could buy my textbooks for my university this upcoming semester. I'm just going to leave it and not think about it to much when I'm ready to cashout then i'll cashout and buy my books. But for now I'll just leave it there so it could build up. Congratulations on making $10 so fast. That's pretty amazing.

hi ayumitakashi, thanks for posting. that's great knowing you're saving it for your textbooks, i used to do the same when i was in high school and college, though it is not a lot still something to help me out. how long have you been here? i assume you have been payed before coz you have posted 725 and that is great if you can get at least $12 in a month, really cool! i hope i keep it that way so i can at least get $30 by july. i have $10.24 right now and if i keep posting at least 10 a day maybe i can keep it like that each month. im keeping my fingers crossed haha! again, thank you and good luck on your coming semester class. takecare!

Actually I haven't been paid yet by this site. When I first joined I wasn't participating a lot so I didn't earn as much. I am starting to participate a lot now and I am hoping that I could keep on participating so I could have enough to at least buy one book.

oh wow, that is a lot of post i thought you are earning that much every month, sorry bout that. anyway, i hope you do get a better payment this time to help you out to buy at least a book or two, it will be nice to have it that way. i started to be a member of this group last february but didnt really realize how much i like it till 3rd week of march i think, so hopefully it will be better next month. now i understand why you said im making $10 so fast, that really confuse me, my apology! anyway, good luck and keep posting to gain some more points to help you earn. takecare!

wow..thats a great news jairgirl, How I wish I will be having $10 soon..I have not paid yet so If I were you, thats a very great decision, waiting until it will be accumulated and buy something for your beloved man. I know, no matter how small or inexpensive our gift for them, they will always appreciate and love it especially for you, you earn it, that is something very romantic for him I'm sure.

hi checapricorn, thanks for the encouragement. yes i am very excited to finally buy him something out of my own pocket. he always buys me something with or without occasion so i am looking forward for our day. like i said, i usually make something for him a scrapbook, cards and painting (our home is full of that now - haha) oh i made him a movie too using our old photos and he really loves it. btw, you mention you havent payed yet? how could that be? do you mean just this month or the entire time you are here. i assume you've been here for quite some time just basing on your post count (sorry i am being nosey again) anyway, i would love to hear from you again and thanks for the kind words.. takecare!

Mine was a year ago and i think i forgot exactly what i did on it. I think i treat myself on the mall. Eat on the fast food and bought some small stuff which i think the one i forgot exactly what it is..... hehehe. Now i am back online and i am pretty sure i could reach my minimum before the end of the month and when i receive the payment i would spend it to buy a small birthday gift for my fiance. Hopefully!

ohhhh, that's sweet! i really hope that you can get a good payout to buy a birthday gift for your fiance. the earnings here is not a lot, so you can only buy small stuff not unless of course you will save it an just buy one stuff in the end. great to know you've been here that long, that means mylot is something you want to keep, i wish to do the same. anyway, good luck to everything and wish you all the best! takecare!

Hi jairgirl! Wow, you've only posted 100+ posts and you've already reached payout already? Congrats! I have my $15.60 since I've been active again these past few weeks (I've been inactive for 3months) and I don't think that I'll be using it immediately. I'm thinking of saving my earnings here until December. Maybe then I can buy something that I've been trying to save for. Cheers!

hello marebabe, thanks for the compliment (is it? haha) i honestly didnt realized it will reached that point i didnt expect it, but since it is coming i am keeping and hope i can get some more by july so i can do my plan. that's great that you will just save it, i will do the same after july and just spend it by thanks giving (i think). hope you get better payout so you can buy something that you really want by then. appreciate your time and wish you all the best. keep posting! takecare!

hello twoods90, we're on the same page of having our first payment, haha! cool, my husband likes video games too but he already have the games he wants so i cannot buy him anything else, beside it is very expensive to buy one ($60) so it will take me long time before i can afford it, haha. i think it is best to save it for awhile coz it is easy to decide if you have more money than to have just $10 - more options than having a candy :) im sure you will reach your payment soon, you already have 130 post so it is just a matter of time. i have to agree with quantity over quality, not sure how it works but it seems to work for me, as you can see i am only on my 133+ post (not sure what it is now) and i already reach a good sum of money (IMO) i usually post at least 10 a day and so far it is working and not back firing on me. unlike others who says they only get few cents for posting 30-70 and even more. oh well, i wish you all the best and hope you keep up your positive attitude towards your mylot experience. takecare!

its very nice taht you reached after 133 posts. you must have got some very active referrals. i still remember did not do anything with it. after 3rd payment i transferred the money to m=bank account and bought my father a shoe.

haha, no my 133 post give me $11.24 ( i earned a $1 yesterday yay!) no i dont have any active referrals, i have 2 friends who accept it but they are way too busy at work and dont even visit this site, oh well their choice. cool! you get the chance to buy a shoe, i can only buy a sock, haha! i really hope i can gain $30 by july coz i want to surprise him with the socks and a card, so i am keeping at least 10 post a day and hope that helps me to reach my goal. anyway, i am hoping i can post as much as 2000 before the year end, yours is 6593 i cant beat that, haha! takecare and happy posting!

My first payout at myLot went right with the others into Paypal, and I then transferred it along with the following for the next couple of months into my checking account and from then it went into my Ing High Interest Savings account. I am saving for a Mac Pro Laptop and it will take quite a while to get it. I do have extra money for gifts etc. but my online earnings are for big ticket items that I could not afford normally. I bought my desktop computer using my online earnings and my cellphone. So this time it is the lap top.

hello suspenseful, wow! you must be getting good amount of payouts then! if you can buy desktop computers and cellphone, awesome! btw, i think by the time you have the amount for the macbook pro they will be having the newest hard drive then. my husband is waiting for the same one (he have the newest macbook pro intel version and i have the powerbook G4 power pc) he thought they will release it this month but he says they will be maybe by june or july, not sure yet, apple seems to keep it a good secret this time. the new iphone is coming end of this month or next month i think, he is really excited about that. anyway, good luck on your earnings and hope you buy the big ticket soon. we love apple and i am really recommending it to friends and family, haha! takecare and thanks for sharing yours.

More than likely I will do the same with my myLot payout, as I do with all my online earnings. Have it sent from my Payapl to my savings account. I really don't need or want anything, so I prefer just to save it.

hello chey1970, that's great that you are just saving it, i wish i can do the same, i dont have other online earnings other than this one and this is mostly for fun but i am grateful that i can get something out of it. maybe i can start saving next year, see how far i can go. anyway, thanks for sharing and good luck! takecare!

hi jhl930, thanks for sharing your experience. it was kind and sweet of you to buy grandma a puzzle book, im sure she is very happy when she got it. i think it is the thought that counts and not the price, the fact that you give them something from your heart means a lot not only to you but most for them. i am hoping that i can get $30 for such time (july) so i can buy him socks and anniversary card, i hope it will be enough coz the tax here seems to be high, haha! again, thanks for sharing it and keep it up! i hope i can reach that much post as you do, haha! that will take me a year or so i guess, oh well! takecare!
