with the hopes to earn on internet. But how do your family members react to this?Do they appreciate your spending time online? Or not happy on your spending time online? They may think it is waste of time trying to earn online as there are many other things to do to earn.What is your experience fellow mylotters?

Dear friend, My family really do not care they do give me my own freedom in spending time on internet. Moreover it is another technology advancement. I wish that internet should be provided to all over the world even to the interior areas as its importance is really is to be known to all. Moeover it should made much cheaper or either free in supply.

Yes, you are absolutely right shamrack. I have exactly the same views on this topic. My family understands me well. So I don't have any problem at all. They know very well that if I do something there would be some meaning in it,otherwise I won't do that.

Hi vijayanths, Most of the time spent on mylot is browsing through discussions trying to find ones that you want to answer. Answering is the easiest part. I dont get time to spend continuously on the net. I keep logging on when I find a little time, so that no one has any reason to complain. But I have noticed that ladies using computer is never taken seriously by the other members of the house....

Hi, Kiran, It is good that you have created more than 900 threads so far. Yes, We need not spend more time here. Whenever we are free we can spend some time making some good friends and getting knowledge on earning online.

Well, vijay, my family sometimes get a little jealeous of the time I devote to working online so I have to put it aside and spend a little extra time with them. All-in-all, they love the perks they receive as a matter of my work online. I get them all kinds of things that they would have to buy themselves or do without if I were not earning the extra money and free merchandise through my work here. They are appreciative but still need mom's attention ever now and again.

My husband also tries to earn some money online so it is a mutual "project". He gets happy when I tell him that I am going to transfer some money from my paypal to my bank account, because that money helps us pay the bills. I don't earn a lot of money, but it is still nice to earn something online. My husband is also a member of MyLot, he is not very active here, but he usually asks me about my activity (What are you writing about now? How much money did you make today? etc) He also tells me about the things that he does to earn a bit extra.

nice couple. It is good that you both are trying hard to earn online. I strongly believe that one can earn decent income if he/she works hard intelligently and with out giving up at any point of time, he/she will succeed. Cheers

Well you are right in saying that most mylot members here spend lots of time surfing the internet to work online. Before, when we still have internet connection at home, my family tell me that I am just wasting time on the net. But when they saw in their own eyes the real money that I got online, they just let me do this. Right now, I transferred in Manila. I stayed here at my uncle's condo unit with my cousins. And I only surf the net at around 4am-7am. I can only allow myself to use their laptop if my cousins are not using it. And since I am only working online during these hours when almost all of my companions here are still asleep, they don't mind what I am doing on the net. But I tell some of them that I am working online..

My desktop is here inside my bedroom, my family never knew that I'm doing mylot for earnings, but they know that I'm happy staying here in mylot. Well I decided not to tell them that I'm earning out of this typing here and there every minute when I'm in mylot 'coz I wanna surprise them when I got my first payment I'll buy something for all. Honestly my parents don't mind if I stay in mylot every spare time. They're curious but never banned or asking me with this. We have a lot of things to do here in our home and I see to it that I'm dong well on my part. Before I start here in mylot I finish first all my house tasks.

hii dear friend..I am not thinking that not all the mylotters are spending there full time for doing mylotting..I wont spend my whole time for doing mylotting..I just spend 2 to 3 hours for doing mylotting..And also there are few members who spend there full time for doing mylotting..Some of members are there..They will spend even 8 hours for doing mylotting..If we have more referals in mylot we will be safefull and we can earn more..I dont have the referals..And also to get the referals it is too hard..we want to beg..So i dont like that..I am earning of my own..I wont get paid every month..So i will earn slowly..Happy mylotting dear friend..have a nice day..

How did you know that I am spending lots of time here on the internet, did you mom tell you that just kidding my friend. Yes, most mylotters would be spending time to earn money online so if we really are serious, we have to devote some time. About your question if other members do mind me being online, well, nope actually my hubby is happy to see me do work here online and i earn at least and get to relax too. If I would be a student, well probably my parents would limit my internet spree. But since I am married, all i take care of is hubby and our future kids to be, so I enjoy to work at home and help hubby at the same time. I will never consider it a waste of time.

You got the right point! My parents scold me everyday for being online for a long time. I'm doing this to earn money to manage my college expenses so that I can lessen their burden. Though they could understand my attitude, they scold me as continuous work in PC will affect my health. That's their worry. But, anyway, I'm not gonna stop this!

Hello Vijayanths, I do my regular work (writing) online, which is my main job. Mylot is for fun and learning, and also makes a little extra money, which goes into savings. So my partner is fine with that. We all have to work. My children are all grown, but when they were home, I always made time for them. Family came first! And now, I also make time throughout the day for my partner. Karen

I usually get online while my partner is at work. That way, when he is home, we can spend more time together! However, my cat problem is not so easily fixed. He does not like it when I spend so much time on the computer and will sit at my feet and fuss at me!

You're so lucky!. My parents are really so good. But they scold me everyday for doing these kinda jobs. They want me to be cool, free of tensions and enjoy myself. They scold me as continuous working in PC may affect my health. I do respect their care. But, I have no encouragement from their side. Anyway, I'm not gonna stop this. Because, I'm doing this to to earn money, manage my study expenses and hence lessen their burden!

My husband thinks I am quite mad and my son is quite exasperated that I share many of my problems (est. regarding him) with my ‘friends’ here. As you know, the online earning scenario is India is quite dismal so my husband was very dismissive of mylot as I could not really lay my hands on any real money. but then I started buying things online thru the money I earned at mylot and he finally believed that this works. Even then, he thinks I am quite mad to be so immersed in something which does not even give me Rs. 500 per month! he thinks I am quite mad to continue with this…he does not know that its not the money, it’s the community I am in love with. And my son! Oh he is quite surprised that apart from him and his father, I do have ‘friends’ elsewhere with whom I can share my problems!

It must be. many people here earn online. they are there in many other sites. plus they are net savvy. so its very natural people here are also spending much time in other sites.

I like to spend time online not only in earning but also searching for new tutorials and other such stuff. And I am not always on the net, it's very late at night till that time my family members are asleep so it's not much of a problem with me. But as far as earning online is considered it really requires a lot of effort and the the reward is not that good so I refrain from online earning in some ways. but now a days I am really on very tight budget so I just thought of trying my hands on it....

Hihi =)) My family members are clearly not very happy of me spending too much time surfing the internet. That is why I try to limit my time online to about 5 hours per day, 2 hours in the morning, 1 hour after dinner and 2 hours in the night after I put my daughters to bed. My hubby cannot understand I can just spend so many hours infront of my pc or laptop. Also, I promised my family that Sunday is a no internet day for me. Cheers o
