Are you crossing your fingers...?

Hoping that you have made enough posts and have put in enough effort to make that last few cents to reach payout? Or couldn't you care less? Is mylot just about having fun for you or do you secretly like the idea that mylot is paying you? I haven't been that active this month because I worked a lot so I have $9.76 in my account and it would be nice if it would total up to a $10+ balance but if not I don't feel bad. I'm in mylot for fun, even though the cash doesn't hurt and I am not going to respond to a chunk of discussions I don't like. Yes, I have made responses to short topics even though I like the once with a bit more substance, yes I get carried away because making payout still is nice, but when it comes to the big whole I try and make the most responses with a great effort and devotion; especially for my mylot friends. So, are you crossing your fingers? Or have you made payout easily?

I am not crossing anything at all, no. I have said in a number of responses in the past that I have been here for around two and a half years now and have NEVER requested a payout! Sure I like to see that little number ticking over every day and hopefully one day it will get to a figure that allows me to buy something worthwhile..... But for now I am happy to just let it build up! The last few weeks especially have given me a nice boost and it IS actually starting to resemble a figure that looks impressive these days! I am not usually as proactive as I have been in the last few weeks either. I am about to start a new challenge so have a little downtime right this minute while some external things fall into place. Give it a week or so and then it is back to periodic visits to mylot for me unfortunately.

Thank you or another great descriptive response James72 . I have thought about building up a sum of money aswell, but at the time being I have more interest in getting it into my paypal and saving it up in there. Whenever I see a my little pony I want on ebay then I have the money ready in there, or I save up untill I have enough and it comes by again . With these vintage toys you sometimes need luck to see them at the right time when you have the money ready, because it's for my collection this is worthwhile for me even if they aren't allways that expensive . They bring me joy.

Since this discussion, I have now had two payouts sent to me, but Moneybookers is no longer an option anymore so by default Ihave to let it build up again! Good luck with the My Little Pony collecting and Happy New Year! Thanks for the best response tag too cyberfluf.

HI cyberfluf. This post is about 5 months old. I was inactive for quite a long time or lets say I just used to log on every now and then and post only a few posts. During the last few months I have been active again. Usually I don't have a problem in reaching the minimum payout of ten us dollars, although sometimes I do feel lazy to post. On other days I am more motivated and try to increase my earnings. (c) ronaldinu 2009 - the more people I meet-the more I love my dog

True, this is quite an old topic of me. I agree that motivation is the key to being active on mylot, if something is fun you have the strenght to go on. Otherwise you'll quit. I know that's why I quit the last time and was inactive for a very long time. Thank you for taking the time and effort to respond to one of my older discussions, and have a great day!

Hi Cyberfluf, I am sure by the end of the month you will have made payout. I have but and it is nice to receive every month but myLot for me is more about friendship even though when I started it was to make some extra money. I have four lovely little ponies looking for a home so if you PM me with your details I will send to you, one has a tail that spins around and is really cute, a lot had scribble on or had had haircuts and I kept a couple for the girls. I find it hard to PM back so if you leave your email address I can email you instead. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Ellie, That is so nice! You are right, mylot should be more about friendship but seeing $10.63 in my account does make me happy . I know I quit last time because I hadn't fun anymore, so just being here to make money does not work. Now that I am making more mylot friends I have found my joy here again. All the best and thanks for responding!

You should be able to make $10 easily, you still have today's earnings update from activity yesterday, and of course today's activity as well. Piece of cake! I'm well over the minimum for payout, but hoping to do well today so that I reach another mini-goal of mine. Don't know if I'll make it or not, but would be nice to see. Regardless, I enjoy my time here on myLot and that it actually pays me for that is a nice bonus.

Good for yu . I think I am going to reach payout and otherwise I'll have it next month so it's no biggy. Normally I can make $10 easily but I have been so busy with other stuff that mylot has been coming in second for a while. Oh well, better luck next time. Thanks for the response and see your around! .
