is it all about earning?

what are the reasons that you keep on posting here in mylot? is it all about earning and getting a lot of money when pay-out comes? i don't want to sound hypocrite money of course counts why we are all here but for at the same time reading and posting threads here unnerves and detoxifies me. when i am so toxic i just read on the post and answer back and it helps me calm down. its really true. i enjoy my stay here and it becomes an outlet or venue where i can say what i want to say and share my ideas to the world. how about you?

At first it was all the money that I could earn here in my lot but as time passes by I started enjoying this site its friendly and people share opinions with out resulting to arguments and the good thing is that you earn although its small but its still a good and clean penny Happy mylotting...

i totally agree with you, i would think twice if i were on your shoe. attend and getting hurt is a bad thing to experience i just think you just have to be happy with the idea that he is getting married and not wallow on the thought that it should have been you that he will be with on the day of the wedding. no use to sulk over spilled milk. hope this helps. :)

I am trying to reach a payout it's true, but I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't having fun. I don't need the $10 that badly.

Hey, when I first came here my friend told me that you get paid here, so I joined but afterwards the purpose for me being here was changed ,it was to give people my ideas which may help them and when I have nothing to do I just post.

Well I would be lying if I said that the money didn't matter to me in the slightest, because honestly it does. It is so helpful with everyday life, and I find that using my online earnings, I can keep my car running. With that being said, I think I would probably still be a member of this community whether I was paid or not, because I just love it so much, and the people here are all amazing.

If it were all about the earnings, I would put my time to more profitable use elsewhere... No, it isn't about the cash, it's about the interaction and fun you can have... Now, you can get this elsewhere, but here you can get a small remuneration.. So, it's not ALL about the money... but the money means more people might come here to chat than somewhere that they won't get paid at all. For most of us I think it starts being about the money, and it ends up being about social interaction.

Ofcourse everyone joined here to earn...I come here for the money as well but as I grew along with mylot I enjoyed my staying here not just because of the pay. I enjoyed answering posts and doing my own discussions as well. In here I feel I can say anything I want and put my heart in to. It's like I have an invisible friend in here.

You are absolutely right and I agree with you. You don't sound hypocrite, money is everyone's basic requirment and you can't live without it. If someone says that he comes on MyLot to make friends then I think he or she is lieing because somewhere in every member's brain, they are posting the replies to earn money from here. Side income which can prove helpful in something.

Yes, the money is a nice bonus, but it isn't the main reason I'm on here. The money isn't really that much for the time spent. If it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy talking to people, I wouldn't be on here at all. Getting a few dollars a month just isn't enough to keep me on a site like this.

Well the first thing on my mind is to earn money on this site. But as things go on, reading some discussion, creating discussion It's like learning to me. I put aside earning and start reading more and more discussion, commented on it and learn others opinion. Not only opinion, but others culture and story in life. Its hard for me to start a discussion actually it's seems every discussion on my mind that i want to start is already started by others hehehe. But every time i went home form work i just log on here on Mylot read some discussion, and learn a new things everyday.

At first, I'm really interested in the earning. But when I came in, I found here's a great place to read more and think more. Now, I don't think of the money and I even don't have an account on line.

Hi there! I have never changed my goal of earning here in mylot. I always post for the money. It's really interesting how we earn here. But I don't merely look at it as plain money/earning rather I try to see it as my inspiration. My trophy that I get rewarded for sharing my views and chatting to my friends here. And the more I exert effort, the more I earn. I don't always come here to earn though. The topics and the community are just as interesting as the earnings. They are part why I come here always. Ciao!

i agree with you that this site is not only to earn but we learn from the people around here. thanks for the post and have a great day!!! happy mylotting!!!

Yes. You are right. Here is a platform to share your ideas and air your anger and distribute your pleasures which u can not do else where. Thinking earning is meaningless for me but increasing numbers is a craze watching earning is an anxiety. How do you view this please share and take care. have a nice day too.

Well thats why I put in more thought to my post to make them as long as possible is to make more money. If we didnt make money I wouldnt be making lost post at all probally one or two sentences at the most. But I do enjoy coming on this forum and well money is a big reason trying to get a high post count here is also another goal of mine which makes me want to post more when im on here.

posting to ear would be the primary reason why we are here. i totally agree with that but in the process it is a venue for fun and meeting new friends too!!! :)

Of course we're here to make money but what puzzles me is why pick subjects like 'what did you have for breakfast' or 'my dog is called ralph'? Is it to get their earnings up or do they think it makes a good topic? I don't want to sound like a moaner but i find tv hard to think of a good reply to these kind of posts so, hence, my earnings dont increase and i'm seeing more and more of them cropping up. I know its hard to think of original topic subjects as i expect most things have been covered by now but its just frustrating when your eager to get writing and nothing of interest appears regularly
