i got excited when i found i was about to reach my first dollar. so i felt like i wanted to do more tasks and/or discussions. but actually i felt a little discouraged because i still have 9 to go before i can make it to cash. whew! how tough. indeed, i can relate this tasks to real life. everything we have to work on by heart to get what we need or want. or at least even just to satisfy the work being done, still we hope that in the end we will reap what we sow.

Yes, just like you I was very excited because I got my first dollar within 3 days of me joining. But also like your situation, I was a little disappointed too because I did many responses to discussions those days and I realized that I was going to have to do so much more in order to reach payout. But what I found out was that even though in the beginning, I was in it for the money and all I really wanted to do was earn money, I learned to have a lot of fun while mylotting. Since I started, which was not too long ago, I've been having a blast just reponding to peoples' discussions and just discussing away. Now, the money isn't as big a reason for me to be on this site anymore. It's more like an extra bonus for mylotting to me. I just have so much fun discussing that I can literally do it for hours and hours at a time each day =]

it's good to know your view has changed. i believe it's what a normal person think it is about first time mylotting. money. but in the end, it's about the experience that we will find. happy mylotting to you.

Got my first payment from myLot a while ago. Thats the payment for the two months as I haven't reached the minimum payout for the first month. So far, only got $1.50 dollars for this month and I know I had to make a great step to reached the payout for this month. Trying to get task and see what I can do from there.

and I am wrong, the task dashboard doesn't have good task in it. Hate the "join the site" task. Damn, I really need to catch-up.

FIRST DOLLAR it is real great feeling when you earn your first dollar. i was so much happy when i got my payment from mylot and i thought of buying everything with it. It is real hard to earn money online and sometimes you earn real hard and when payment times comes they don't pay at all and sometimes they make you wait for such a long that you really forget about it as you lost the interest in it. I am waiting for the payment from some the programmes which i have joined and i think it is almost more than 6 months and they have not paid and now i forget going to their website. Mylot is good which pays ontime and you can share your knowledge with other members.

in reality whne you register on mylot you never think that you must work hard to reach just 1 dollars in dscussions or tasks..but i think that when you start here si really normal you want reach a ood amount as soon..surely to complete different tasks bring you more money but you need much more time to complete one that writing different posts on different discussions so i think that in some cases even the taste deals with how to reach more money is personal and depending of your activity daily...

i realize your point is actually correct. i have had some tasks and it took me some time to double check if those are worry- and/or virus-free sites. so i decided to join more discussions.

The first dollar was amazing! I remember being so exited as you were but them I realized that I wasn't even close to pay-out and that I still had another $9 dollars to go. I also remember how happy I was the first few days even. Ever cent I got put into my account for participating and talking with people made me want to continue to invest time into the site!

When I got my first dollar here I was so proud of myself for getting that far. But when a week has passed by and I earned more, I was having a blast. Enjoy your first few weeks and do not be weary. It may go up slowly but once you get the hang of it you should earn more in no time. Hope you enjoy your stay here. Happy myLotting chiumee!

When I first joined here, my main aim is to make a dollar a day. I had reached that 3 days on my first month here. But later when I reached my 10 star rating, I just kept lagging due to my busy schedules and other stuffs. I don't feel excited or happy to see the first dollar but was happy to see my first payout 2 months back,.. Cheers

Yes that first dollar was very exciting to get to. I checked the earnings and history everyday lol. But as time has gone on and ive been more active i dont check it or look at it near as often. Im more excited about friends and messages or when someone comments back to me. Now its not about the earnings as much as good conversations.

I was very excited when I got my first dollar. I'm at 2 now, after I think just over a week of participating. It is both exciting and a bit frustrating. I just know that the more posts you get the faster you make money. So while it seems hard now to make much money, it will pick up eventually, which keeps me coming back. Cheers!

I've been here for over a year and a half. I've been able to reach payout a couple of times. I do somewhat remember when I reached my first dollar. I was quite happy, when it happened. It really did encourage me to continue to post responses, start discussions, and such. It's true that it takes me a while to reach payout, but each time I reach a goal that I set for myself (whether it's regards to my earnings or the number of responses that I post), it encourages me to keep on going. I feel good about myself, when this happens.

I am so exciting when my account begin to hv dollars. Eventhough such a small amount of money , but if my answer gets money from here that means my answer not so bad,right? Let's keep on moving here to get more, not only money and also experience to discuss with different people we don't know with each other further more for different topic here. Feeling as an English corner and enjoy yourself pls.
