Would you spend less time on mylot if there is better earning opportunity?

So, we all come here because we can earn extra money, that is the one of the major purpose we sign up with mylot and keep on posting here, right? Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that we all doing the same thing, and aiming for the same goal, to get paid. We might make 1 cent per post, and probably more if your discussions attract more comments from others. What if, there is website, such as those cash offering sites, which surely would make more money per offering than you post some 10 to 30 posts here. Would you steer away your precious hours from mylot, and spend more time on those cash offering websites? I personally enjoy posting and replying in mylot, but I also want to earn some extra cash to pay my cellphone bill.

If there is better earning opportunity I still spend the same time on Mylot as before. This is because Mylot is not purposely for earning, but just a medium for us to share our experience, thought and knowledge. I would try to manage my time to deal with the better earning opportunity and won't abandoned Mylot. As I love Mylot so much, not because of earning, in for me to learn how to think and listen to people's opinion.

Mylot is so much more then an earning site for many of us, but at the same time I think some of us can not deny the power of earning here. I enjoy the earnings and set goals for myself so that my husband and I can have the things we want as well as need. In that way we work harder on and offline and come to appreciate what we do have.

i'd still probably continue in mylot. i mean, sure, the earnings are what attracted me to the site in the first place but it soon grew on me. the mylotters are so active that one gets inspired to post more. :)

Everyone is addicted to the site at first. I think it's also normal to have a falling out with mylot, but afterwards you will soon comeback if you have a falling out at all. This is a grand site to be on, and very addicting.

I really enjoy this site, and as it is, I could hardly find myself able to balance more then oen site. I'd want to stay here, that is one thing I have to say, so I suppose I would rather stay here even if the earning opportunity isn't as grand. I know I'll get paid here, and in ways it's more fun. Now that I have a job outside of online work, I find that I don't have as much time anyway, so taking time for other things, may end up just wasted, where in at mylot I have fun and earn.

well, I have an outside job besides posting here in mylot to earn money. Actually I have a full time job and a part time job besides online earning. So, I constantly keep myself busy these days. So, you can imagine how that is. But I Would definitely trying to find time to balance these earnings and hours.

If I understood correctly you have two jobs outside of mylotting? Wow and I do wonder why I seldom see you popping up! I can imagine that it is very busy, but I am sure that the money you are awarded is worth it. I would love to be able to make some good amount of money to tuck away for rainy day's and luxury in the days of retirement. I will keep in mind your advice which is to balance my job with online work, which I will do with pride!

It is not easy, and tiresome. But I do it for the money, maybe other people doesn't necessary to follow my step here. Money earning on online is fun and stimulating. I love to chat with people, and be able to use strategy to earn myself some extra income. It is fun and brain - racking sometimes.

Nope, i don't think so, even if i am earning a million dollars on another site there is no way that i am leaving mylot. this site that i have joined is where all have started and probably i won't be as much active but still i wouldn't mind hanging around here since it's one of the most best site i have ever encounter in my entire life.

most likely, though i would miss mylot because i love some of the discussion topics here such as frugal living, crafting and others. i dont always make payout every month but the money does add up.

Yes, you're right. Most of us are here with the purpose of making extra money, and if there are other better earning opportunities, I believe we all want to pursue it. But that does not mean we'll quit mylot. We all enjoy being here because we can communicate with people of different cultural background, learn from others and enjoy ourselves. If I found better earning opportunities, I'll work on both of them. I don't want to see many mylotters quit mylot just because of better earning opportunities.

I wouldn't quit mylot but I would definitely join that site. I have found sites that I can earn more then mylot easily but mylot is so dependable and has helped me too get better at online earning and their are so many expereienced online earnings.

As a new mylotter, I am trying now to learn more and earn more here. i hv to word 8 hours a day with computer that makes me hv time to discussion with you all here. I like to be here, and I don't hv any more time to other sites for earning,it is not my major purpose. I'd like to feel like at home and warm-hearted person around me.

i'd still stick to mylot. you are right, the main reason why i signed up here was because of the opportunity to earn extra money thru posting. i haven't earned anything from this site since the day that i joined but i do enjoyed posting and commenting on other's posts. so even if i see another better website that offers better earning opportunity, i will still find time to post here.

I will be honest. Yes, I will spend less time with mylot if there are other sites that offer much bigger cash for every time spent in front of my computer. I am actually guilty of this situation right now. I have been a member of mylot but if you notice I have less posts up to this day, that is because I am active with that other site that pays more than mylot. But since I have time to spare, I visit mylot every now and then so to not forfeit my small, yet hard-earned earnings. What keeps me coming back are the topics that I enjoy responding to. Mylot is a nice site to share my opinions and feelings and the same time earn from it. I also love knowing and reading other members'opinions on a certain topic. So even with the small, yet sure earnings I have, I cannot give up mylot. I am way too far from my payout, as compared to the other site which paid me twice to thrice already, but I am still here, posting away.

I enjoying myLot because they have information which used for us, and get extra money while we spend our time here. What if I cannot get that's all then I just waste my time, and with this site is good for pay my internet bill unfortunately I got problem with my PayPal.

I'm a loyal person so i guess i would stick it with mylot. If there are better earning sites out there why not? but it's no reason for me to leave mylot entirely. I may not spend as much time here by that time but its the quality that matters here anyway and not quantity. Cheers!

I really enjoy this site very much. The reason why I joined this site is that I want to improve my English. Mylot is the first site I have found where I can communicate with so many English-speaking friends. On the contrary , money is not as important as improving English.
