I always notice that we have very few tasks. I can say that these tasks are good for five persons only. Look at our population. We're already 237,026! Aside from this, SOME or shall I say MOST taskers or requesters are not approving the tasks we have completed. Have you also noticed it? I have already submitted 13 tasks. Only three taskers approved my tasks. Ten of them are still in pending status. I think they will no longer approve or shall I say "reject" my tasks.
With regard to this, I sent a request to the admin to encourage other requesters from Amazon Mechanical Turk to also submit tasks here in myLot. I also sent a request to one of the requesters of Amazon to also consider submitting tasks to myLot. Amazon Mechanical Turk has thousands of tasks everyday. Most of the requesters in the site approve tasks within 24 hours. One of the tasks in Amazon is simple typing of business card information. Each task costs $.02, $.03, or $.05. You can work on each task within 60 seconds. I have attached a sample task. I already deleted the name of the requester to protect him against the fraudulent use of his personal information.

I stopped doing tasks. When I am new here and really struggling to reach my first payout. I do a lot of tasks, those simple tasks only like commenting on articles. In total I have worked about 15 tasks that was approved. All this are in total of about 30 cents only. I thought it's not worth it I thought of just participating in mylot rather than giving my 1 minute checking out and commenting.

I hope so. Yes. I also notice that the task creators are also members of myLot. They can't submit tasks if they are not going to sign up first. Some of them do not have any posts here. They are just submitting tasks. The problem is it takes ages before they approve tasks. It is indeed so frustrating.

Yes I've checked the screen shot
But I doubt if it will be approved but let's see if the admin will hear you out on this. But if you will notice the task creator are also our fellow lotters here. You can also create a task and let all of us do the task you want. Like if you have a blogpost somewhere and you want people to stumbleupon or digg your post or comment on your youtube. Normally that's waht I observed here. But maybe well mylot can accept that too so they can have a bit more income for them

I haven't had a problem, for the most part, getting paid within a day or two of doing the tasks. Lately I've been sticking to rewriting articles because I am good at doing that. They pay just about the same for a rewrite as for an original article! I thought - why should I bother doing all that research for thirty cents, when I can do the rewrite of someone else's research the next day for twenty five or even thirty cents? I've done, at times, two different rewrites of the same article. My income here has grown more from doing this than from what I get for discussions. The most I made per day on discussions was twelve cents - twice. Usually it's three to five cents a day. I've been getting at least fifty cents to a dollar a day from doing the rewrites. I keep the task page up and refresh it every hour so I can grab the rewrites the minute they are up. I know if I see tasks for wanting articles, they will have the rewrites within a few days. I wrote two original articles here. The last one was done two days ago - one that was supposed to pay 2.50. I am still waiting on that one. I hope that wasn't one of those too good to be true ones.

Hello, timetravel! You have a good point. I'll also try rewriting articles, so be prepared for I'll steal them from you. I am just kidding. I am not good in writing. Keep it up!
I already sent an email to admin because I notice one tasker who never approves tasks. I have been waiting for two weeks now. It seems that this requester no longer exists. I am still waiting for admin's reply to this. I understand that they are not responsible for the content of the tasks, but I also know that they can at least ban the user if he is consistent in not approving tasks. This is so unfair and we should report these people to stop them from doing such illegal things.

I strongly agree with you, timetravel. I had one problem with one of my tasks yesterday. The requester returned my task because she found my answer sarcastic. I know I wasn't. I told her that the main keyword is misspelled. It will create confusion on workers end. Aside from this, she's asking for the first sentence under the misspelled keyword. There is no sentence under the keyword. All of them are phrases. When she returned the task, she rectified the misspelled word but did not change the directions. I sent her an email telling her to understand that I was never sarcastic. I helped her. As a matter of fact, she corrected the misspelled keyword. I'll not return the task just to satisfy her. She should have thanked me or at least apologized.

I agree. I know microworkers has a way to report unfair ratings and such, and amazon turk does, too. Would you believe I had one small rewrite returned because the person said it was too much like the original - which was only 150 words to begin with? And I had changed everything around. I wrote her a response and said I have never had a rewrite returned for lack of originality or anything like that, and I was returning it back to her with a few changes made. I also told her it sounds like what she wanted was an entirely new article rather than a rewrite, while paying rewrite rates. She approved that, plus another one I did on the same article. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you do here. There is one who puts out the rewrites and I've never had a problem with that one.

I love doing tasks too and my lot is the only one that appears sensible to me because amazon tasks seemed too tiring and I got dejected anyway. mylot tasks are good and I got paid for writing. Now I don't do it much because of lack of time.

There are also easy tasks in Amazon. I know one whose task costs $.01 and $.02. They are very simple for you are just going to type the calling card information. It will only take less than a minute to finish one task or HIT. Haven't you found this kind of task yet?

I did my best but the requester from Amazon declined my offer. He said that all his tasks are submitted to Amazon and he's satisfied because they are always finished on time. I sent him another email emphasizing that I am also referring his tasks to myLotters and if he changed his mind, he can always visit this site. I hope he will reconsider.

I hope he will consider posting his tasks here. Actually, there are many members in mylot who are willing to do the job. We can finish it very soon. I think we need many tasks here badly.

Hello, leon923940426! I worked on very simple tasks. I read articles and commented on them. I also dugg some articles. I am not interested in downloading software or creating an account just to work on some tasks. Facebook like is also a NO NO to me. I am suggesting a very good task. I hope myLot admin will consider this.

Hello, bashabasha! Nice username! Does it mean "read read"? LOL Yes. I want more quality tasks. You can also check the site if you would like to. You'll also dream of transferring some of their tasks to myLot. They have more than enough. Why not share some of them?
