Do you stay with a site where you only earn pennies a week?

A few pennies a week? - many pennies

I recently joined a site that gives me .15 to .20 a week depending on the time I spend on it and I'm happy with the site. For some reason once I log onto the site I get addicted to it and find it hard to leave. It's really very simple to do since you just answer short questions and post one of your own after you have answered so many. So....I've been getting up to .20 a week in my paypal account! lol....only pennies but I enjoy it. I have nothing but time so when I'm done with my other ptc sites and sites like mylot then I go there. Would you stay with a site like this? Are a few pennies a week worth your time?

It all adds up. If it's a legit site, and doesn't take very much effort, why not?

It does take very little effort since usually all you have to do is mark a question true or false. Making questions is simple because most of the questions on the site are stupid anyway.

Yes, it is. As long as it's a legit site, I will do it.

I stay with sites that pay pennies because after awhile those pennies become dollars and they add up it is like putting your lose change in a piggy bank and after awhile it gets full.

Depends on the site, though I've heard of scammer sites that only pay cents per week then disappear. I've been cruising other forums where the members claim that they found sites paying like 20 cents per day, which ends up actually being 20 cents a week. Other then that, I'm on a few sites that pay pennies per week and its mostly because I've grown attached to the forums attached to them.

It depends ctrymuziklvr. If I enjoyed the site, then yes. But if the site was more hassle than it is worth, then no. I belong to a site that only gets me about $0.30 per month. But it is fun. And I only spend a few hours a month on it total. Note the part that says "fun".

lol...yeah I got you...fun! I guess I do have fun on the site I was talking about. We all know we're not going to get rich doing this stuff but as far as I'm concerned every bit helps!

It might help to do the calculations on a yearly and then five year basis. Then you can really see how much you will make ctrymuziklvr. :D

I try not to spend too long on sites that are only paying pennies, but I agree, sometimes it is hard to leave! Earning from the internet isn't needed for me - I make enough money in my full time job that this is all just extra cash for me. I work behind a computer all day and sometimes there is nothing for me to do in the office. If I can earn a few pennies, then it is a big help. I try to move around a lot on the internet though, which has recently paid off because there are a bunch of sites that I have recently reached pay out for, and I am just waiting for the checks at this point! I suggest checking out survey sites - they help me out a lot! But, if earning from the internet was my only source of income, I would probably check out the sites that pay pennies a week LASTLY and try to utilize the sites that pay more first. Mylot is a bit different though - it's very social and easy to get sucked into!

I belong to probably every survey site out there. Even some of them aren't worth my time since I don't "qualify" for the survey a lot of the time.

I guess it depends, if I have nothing else to do then why not, at least I am earning even though its just pennies. But if there is a chance to earn more with the time that I give to that site then I would definitely choose the one that would earn me more. Its not just about working hard, its also about working smart. The time you spend should be worth the income you get.

This is the second week I've been a member and I've had two .15 payouts...

It sounds like pickjack. Since their earnings fluctuate, I only do it a few days before the scheduled payout date. I don't really like it as a lot of the questions are really mindless and boring.

lol...that's the one and yes they are mostly boring questions and mindless! OMG...I get a big laugh out of most of them. But I enjoy those pennies adding up.

I joined a site that pays me very little each month too, but it is very easy and I enjoy it. I try to visit it each day while I am doing other things. It isn't millions, but every little bit helps and most importantly, I have fun doing it.

hello ctrymuziklvr I think I will do it when I have fun there. If not, it depends on how many time I spend on it, if just like what you have mentioned, 0.15 to 0.20 a week, if it only takes me few minutes a day, I will do it. If not, I don't think I will do it.

I agree there are some sites that are addictive, and so in them cases I would stay with them and be happy with the few pennies they throw my way from time to time. Hey you know that eventually if you leave them few pennies they throw you way in your paypal account that it no time at all it builds up to an extra few dollars you can use to for something extra you wanted like that CD or DVD you have been wanting to buy...............lol

i guess i dont mind getting just pennies a week, if the site is really fun and enjoyable.. like mylot, i really enjoy myself here..so even if mylot doesnt pay, i will still not mind posting responses and comments.. it is just fun!

Sure I do! After all, I only make pennies on here and I've stuck around for over 2 years! Then again it's the only paying site that I am on, but I enjoy it even if the pay isn't great. I know if I put more effort into it I would be able to earn more, but I just don't have the time, energy, or fast enough connection to do so. But I didn't stick around solely for the money. I keep coming back because I enjoy this site for the discussions and people it brings. Mylot rocks!

Yes I only make pennies a day on all my sites, but they eventually add up in the end, and it is nice to have some extra money now and then.

I agree. Anyone can get addictive with the site that pays, even if it only pays a little. It is worth the work you've done. I think it's better than those scam sites.

of course ill stay on the sites where i can earn. why would i waste my time on nothing. i mean im so practical.. the only forums that i joined is mylot though i didnt reach my payout amount but im happy. and also sites that are useful in my blogs,, thats why im updating my blogs every now and then.

Well, i think you said the main thing, you enjoy the site. The money is not really important, but it's a nice little bonus. I have passes many hours on game sites where I won imaginary tokens that earned me absolutely nothing (I haven't been there in a while, but at last count I had like 3 million or so). So at least your "fun" site is making you a little money. I would try and limit it so that I didn't forget about other sites that you participate in that you make a little more money on.

I think the key thing is fun like everyone is saying. All of our goals is to make money and when you first start up and see just a small bit of money coming in you are happy. If I had fun doing it and time to do I, I would use the site. If I am just starting and am actually kinda of new I would love seeing that money coming in. You feel like you are on the right track and you are happy. I do this one site dollarsurvey and it takes you like forever for a survey but they are fun with videos and everything so I love to do it. You only get to do like one a day too but still it's fun . The key is truly are you having fun because if you are money doesn't even matter.
