today i have spent a better hours here (3 hours off and on) hoping and wondering if that will help me reach an impossible target of having the payout this month. i dont think it is possible but i would like to try. it is kinda sad if i will miss this month's payout coz i have been having it for 3 straight months and i want to make that as my monthly goal now specially me wanting to save for something. i am still $4+ away from it but i feel it is doable specially if i will just try to extend my time out here. i posted to one discussion yesterday stating that reaching the monthly payout will be my new goals for now since i am having a hard time finding a good site that dont require a lot of personal information bout me. i am very skeptical to give away personal information as i know there are bunch of people who lost some money for doing so or have had something crazy coz of it. i like mylot as i feel i am protected out here and so i decided that i will just stick out here, give myself some time and have that goal every month. such realization came so late this month as it is already a few days away and it will be a cut off for payout. i think part of it is because i was out for a week (vacation) and that makes it that way, if i wasnt i think i am about to reach it now. oh well! i can only hope and wish i did a better job today and the coming few days. how about you? have you ever realized you want to reach the payout but at almost at the impossible time already? did you made it happen despite the rush? have you set yourself to reach such goal every month - reaching payout! your stories and experience is highly appreciated. have a good one!

Yes, you can do this my friend! Stay positive, you still have the remainder of today and two more days in which to make those $4-$5. If you post 1-2 new discussions per day, ones of enough interest to get you several responses, and also attempt to respond to 15-20 other discussions per day, I think you'll make it. I managed it when I cam back from a week at Gabs', so it's not impossible. Go for it my friend. Good luck, and Brightest Blessings. xx

I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick, my friend. I hope you're feeling a lot better now... some three days on! I also hope that you managed to meet your payout, but hey! If you didn't, it'll be added on to next months and you'll have a whole heap more! Keep the faith, my friend, and get well soon. xxx

hello my friend! thanks for the support again. i am feeling much much better now, though i have to say i still feel down coz of it. i am always a baby at times like that and it was worst when my husband is not there. im glad that he is back home now, think that helps me to heal faster haha! btw, i managed to reach the payout. i can admit that it is almost a miracle that i made it but i am happy it happens. in case it didnt happen, like you said it will just add up to the next and i will get it anyway. hope all is well with you and your family, i know too much is going on right now but im sure it will be over soon. takecare

hello darkwing, great to see you hear and thanks a bunch for the support and kind words. i am having a bad flu for 4 days now and it is not easy, i am trying to cheer my self up by being here while my husband is out of town and being sick at the same time. i think this is the only day since i got sick that i get a chance to really spend a few hours to be here still, i am stuck with my own discussion but i am enjoying as i am reading a lot of ideas and thoughts are being put in so i am appreciating it so much. i dont want to put you down but i have already accepted the fact that i may not be able to reach it this time as i only have tomorrow and today is my only chance to have it change but i honestly dont know if i made it or not as i am completely dizzy all day. anyway, i appreciate your thoughts and my apology for not responding much to your discussion as i dont have much time to be here lately. have a good one!

I do hope you could maintain that monthly target of yours. As for me, I am targetting the same as yours but I think its rather hard for me to really hit that since I am not able to post as much as I could. I am working by day and I just sneak in to reply to some posts and try to post some more when I am at home but I could not raise enough to reach my minimum. I just got paid last June but failed to reach June target. I am looking forward this August again as I have reach it already.

hello rsa101, i honestly think that it is possible for you to reach your goal every month even if you are working. this month i was out for a week, dont post during weekends and on the days i am here i rarely spent an hour to respond that is why i am so low but after realizing that i want to keep my monthly statement i am rushing to reach the payout so hope i can have it. i know that i will still get it next month in case i failed to reach it and it will just add and be the same since i am not gonna use it till december arrives STILL i want to start having a goal that i can reach somehow. sometimes mylot burns me and i guess that is the reason why i dont spend much time out here like i used to, i am amazed how the pioneers managed to keep it up all this time - i wish i can be like them haha! anyway, i admire you for reaching that much post number i am really crawling to even reach a 1000 post. i dont want to compare my post number to those that arrives after me coz that will just makes me want to work forever here and the enjoyment will be gone so i just let it be. congratulations for reaching such numbers - amazing indeed! have a good one!

Yes thank you for that encouraging response. I am hoping that I can really make another round of payouts next month after the payout.

hello che, thanks for the support! congratulations on reaching your goal. i know exactly what you feel as you know i did the same thing for my hubby haha! this time i am wanting to give something for my family when they arrived here so that is my main goal. i know my husband will give a budget for that but fact is we will used already enough amount of money coz of our trip so that is not something i want to add. haha 30-45 responses a day? yay! i think it takes me more than 10 minutes to read and respond so it will take me whole day to do that, i am trying to reach at least 800+ post number but for some reason my number is moving really slow. i guess i really have to double my work and be like you, wait till my butt tumbles to my face LOL i am not feeling good since yesterday and today is the worst, my husband wants me to see a doctor but he have a meeting today and i hate hospitals so i say i will just relax in the couch and hope i feel better later (yeah as if i am not doing that everyday ) btw, will be a cash gift or a gift gift LOL. i know it cost so much to send a package abroad that is why if i want to give something to my sister and brother-in-law we just cash it in but some products we sent through EMS coz it will cost more for them to buy it there haha! anyway, give my advance birthday greetings to your mom and sis! lucky them! LOL have a great tgif!

hello che, thanks for the wishes, i am feeling a little better now still dizzy and ready to go to bed soon. i guess i am not getting that goal since i didnt spend much time out here like i did yesterday but oh well i tried. oh regarding the points system, you can only a point (additional number) for every first time post you did to somebody else's post. if you respond again to that post, then it is no longer counted that is why mine is slow coz most of my respond goes to thsoe who respond to my own thread so cant get much points there. i think the most i can do in a day is 3-5 and that is rare specially if i am not having my own discussion to start with. enjoy your weekends guys! good night!

I just started on mylot about three weeks ago (time goes by fast). I have already reached pay out, but I have set a personal goal to reach $15 a month to pay for my wow subscription. Im less than $2 away from that goal now so I think I should be ok in reaching it. Good luck in reaching your goal. Just keep posting quality post and you will reach your goal in no time.

hello meggan79, i am happy that you have reached your payout in a short time and about to reach your set goal. i was like you when i first came here and it was fun as i did not expect to almost reach the payout in in just a week. i arrived here 3rd week of march so i didnt qualify for the march but i have earned a good one for april which is very exciting coz that was my savings for my anniversary. anyway, i am very glad that you found mylot and that your earning will go to something that will help you in some ways. if you continue setting such goal i am sure over time you will realized that you are earning more than you set and you will just get used to it. i guess that is the problem this time on my part coz i get used to earning since i got active here and really wishing i can make it. i am hoping and crossing my fingers though haha! anyway, thanks for the support and wish you all the best! keep up the great work! takecare
