I love doing myLot tasks, but...

I often do the tasks and enjoy them, but I just can't do the tasks today. For some reason, I find the topics very difficult to write 500 words on and I'm so not into researching today. I tried one, but I forfeited it within one hour.
I really hope these aren't the only tasks SharonBucks has to offer this month.
Do you do the myLot tasks? Why or why not? Have you ever wanted to do the tasks, but for some reason, you just couldn't complete them?

I do SharonBucks' tasks. So, mo mostly, the writing ones. I like to research and write. I find it sort of fun.

Well, they are a lot of work, but you learn and earn from them, so it evens it out for it. If it was work that I didn't get anything from, it wouldn't be 'fun.' I come here to have fun though too!

I usually just come here for fun too and for pocket change, but I'm a bit low on money as of now because my job ends when the school year does. So, the tasks sure do help! I'm just too tired and not in the mood to do a task tonight.

Ironically...No... When I see it is nothing but to sign up here or there, I won't do them. But for the ones that ask you to write like 500 words on a certain subject, I never found inspiration to write about what they want..I really should do them though, if for nothing else, practice for when I start school this year..Plus the benefit of getting a little extra for my effort..I might go and check out what is available now, thanks Stephanie..Oh, and sorry you are finding it difficult, it could be just temporary..

Yeah, unless it is a subject I know about I struggle too..Which is why I should do them..I mean what if my English teachers says to write a 500 word page on vintage drums? Oh no...What if my English teacher is on mylot..
Actually I better watch it, one of my teachers might be here, you never know..

I doubt they'd recognize you! They'd be like 'Oh my! My student! She's a strange one...'

I hope it's temporary! I don't do the sign up ones either. That's part of my problem today with the 500 word tasks. They're so...strange. I mean, I can't write 500 words on vintage drum sets, even though I own a drum set. I just don't know what to say! I can maybe write 200 words on the topic, but not 500!

I used to do tasks of Sharon Bucks and I think she is among the few who pays good money but they are mostly hard and takes a lot of researching. Most of the time, I also get so lazy to research so I hardly try doing tasks anymore.

I would be a waste of time to do task and then get rejection later so if you noted you can't find enough information, then it is better to just participate in discussions for at least every post counts.

I usually do her tasks and have no problem research. Just the ones she offered today I couldn't find enough information on to write 500 words on. It was too difficult for me and I wasn't in the mood to complete a task anyone. I've been discussing all day instead.

I agree one hundred percent. That's why I made this discussion instead of doing the tasks.

Hi StephanieAnnC,
I have yet to do a task. I did look them over and some are very easy to accomplish. I agree writing 500 words is a lot of work if you are not up to it. If you can't do this one, you will be refresh and ready for the next one.
I was told by another Myloter that the tasks from Sharon Bucks was very popular and people rush to accept them. I would rather doing my discussions and responding, this way I know that I will do them on a daily basis and not be worried about the deadline date the task is due. I am going to make this as fun as possible, with no press.

Hi StephanieAnn,
You are smart, you will take on as much as you can handle. No sense in over taxing yourself to the point of exhaustion.

I agree with you. It is fun to be here and that's my main objective here as well. And yes, SharonBucks' tasks are very popular here. By the time I get to them, some of them are all ready gone. It's insane! I like her tasks though. It's just so hard because if I do'nt want to do them, they might never show up again!

I have and have been pretty successful with them, but I try only to pick ones that I do not have to put too much effort into them. Thusfar I have been lucky to do some that were strictly the types I was able to do off the top of my head and have been blessed to get them all approved right off the back.
When I see some that I have to research more than its worth I honestly skip them and do not even try.
Good luck with all that you opt to do.

I agree with you, Marixa. I usually do the tasks too and get them accepted right away. But I usually do those 'one paragraph per keyword ones. I find them easier. I just couldn't find enough information on vintage drum sets or certain pedals this time around. I hope SharonBucks' puts up some more before the month is over.

Yes Miss minnie me I do the same, LOL..
I usually go for the easy ones as well. I do not blame you on the vintage drum set or pedals as I would have absolutly no clue and if I am going to spend a day or two on something like that I would be stressed out of my wit.

The task was to write a few paragraphs about a major league baseball team. I did, submitted it but it was rejected because it was the wrong team. In other words, the team name changed from the time I wrote the few paragraphs until it was submitted. I read it and reread it and it wasn't something I did wrong. It was a major turn off.

It makes sense that you wouldn't want to do another one. Getting rejected isn't something people prepare themselves for.

That's so true. Sometimes doing up myLot discussions prove to be way easier, since we can just say what we want, and have grammatical errors so to speak.. like speaking in our own lingo, and form sentences that do not even make sense. Unlike articles where like you said to form a 500 words piece, can be a bit hard.

Yes, I tend to write in fragments too. Usually the tasks I complete are accepted though. I just couldn't find enough information on the topics today to write 500 words. I usually do her one paragraph per keyword tasks, but she didn't have any up this time. I was disappointed. I've been discussing all day instead. I agree that it is much easier to just discuss things. It depend son my mood.

I never actually participated to join a site. I remember I did a task that wanted me to view and follow her blog, so I did. I forgot how much I got paid for that. I was going to do the task today, but I couldn't find enough information on any of the topics, so I gave up.

I didn't do the MyLot tasks because mostly the tasks are just available for US based only. It is hardly to get a task that really suitable for me. SharonBucks did post a lot of writing tasks here but I am not really good in writing and it will be squeezing my brain to think about how to reach 500 words..but I will be enjoy to post some short comments here ^.^

I'm glad you took the time to respond instead of squeezing your brain on SharonBucks' tasks.
They are difficult sometimes and time consuming, but the money makes up for it. I just couldn't find any information on the topics she posted, so I knew I couldn't write 500 words on them. So, I made this discussion instead.

I don't like doing task. Tasks in mylot are mostly hard for me. Write an articles with 500 words long is hard for me. Furthermore, even though I could make it, it will take long time. I don't want spend much time only for 10 cents reward. It's better for me to make post in mylot. Respond to discussions give me more fun and more earning.

Wow, $4? I don't know about that. I think we the reward by doing task is only worth cents. That's good amount, however for me it's very hard to make articles which contain 500 words at least. I just didn't interest on the task which ask us to write an articles at first chance. I think if you have good skill in writing and good English as well, you should try that. I am happy just make posts in mylot only. I have no more time to do such kind task.

Actually, those 500 word article tasks are worth $4.00, not ten cents. But I didn't do them because like you said, they're difficult and take a long time. I just can't find enough information on them. That's why I decided to discuss instead.

I agree that myLot is definitely a fun activity and usually I'm here when I have leisure time as well. You could always try a task if you ever feel like it. It won't hurt to try. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully so it isn't rejected.

I am new here and just sent you a friend request. I would be interested in learning to do the tasks. I've read through much of the discussion here and now have an increased awareness and interest. 500 words would be a piece of cake for me and I was an honer student in college, so I could easily include references also. Much Thanks!

I never do task so far... I know it's an extra yet I just do want to sacrifice my time for it... I only love mylot, not including the task... joining discussions is only my fun stuff... perhaps this is also because I have a very hectic schedule in the office every now and then, so my time left is only for mylot. have you tried using the search box here? If you want to earn extra cents, then you can use the box naturally. Happy mylotting!

You definitely need a lot of time for the writing tasks, so you're right in that if you don't have time, you can't complete and why even try, And I agree that discussing is definitely more fun than researching for those tasks.
And yes, I have tried the search bar. It's quite a handy little thing--that rewarads you quite well too!

I also do sharon bucks tasks but most of them are really hard to do so I am not quite successful with all my attempts. I wish there would be more taska available for users soon and I hope this tasks are not that complicated.

Agreed. The ones I saw last night were definitely not up my alley. I just couldn't find enough information on the topic to write 500 words on it. So frustrating!
I like the one paragraph per keyword tasks better.I have an easier time researching and writing them.

I do some tasks. I don't to tasks about articles though because I spend a lot of time at them which I can't spare. I always wanted to do some of them though if I had more time at hand for extra income.

I would accept some of the writing tasks if I knew what the subjects were because I can write 500 words, I just don't know anything useful for the tasks. Aw well, there will always be more tasks on MyLot.

It wouldn't hurt to try one or two, just for fun. I try them and if I can't finish them, I just forfeit the task.
