I used to check mylot every when i wake up and back from work. but recently few days, I did not login :( I love Mylot's task system. Most money i earn in mylot is from task. But now, I find out microworker / minuteworkers with much better reward from task. Hence, I shift all energy to those site. Now, I have 6.6 in account. It is not easy to be 10 ... ... I get lost!

I also do mylot tasks from time to time,but I haven't earned too much from them because there aren't as many interesting and relatively well paid tasks as in Microworkers,but that doesn't mean that I lost my interest in Mylot.On the contrary,I still enjoy as in the beginning,and my main earnings come from posting and especially from the search engine,which brings me rewards of up to $20 almost every day.I guess that if it wasn't for the possibility to earn through the Mylot search engine I would also feel less motivated to use this great site because it would take me a longer time to reach 10 dollars.

How you get almost 20 every day?? Is you have lot of referral ? How to earn via search engine? I just get around 0.02 in 3 times well search. I think it is depend on luck!?

Dear friend, I think everyone should do what he feels to do. I do not know currently other sites gain better than Mylot. Do not hide, however there are also some days where I lose a little of enthusiasm to commit myself here in this site. If you've lost it because you think you found a site where you earn more, your choice should be

Taking tasks really does earn us more money compared to mylot but you can continue with both. Once you are done with microworkers you can actually continue with mylot, right?.. I also felt the same way before, I lost the vigor in working in mylot, because like you, I also had microworkers. But now, I went back to mylot because I just missed it.

If you only joined mylot to earn money then it will definitely become boring for you and you'll lose interest in it. Mylot is a forum for discussions and sharing. If you don't really think about the money and jsut come to mylot for enjoying the experience of starting and responding to discussions then it will be a better experience for you. You will find it more satisfying. The earnings we get for participating on mylot is a bonus we get but it is not the main reason for joining mylot

Actually I started with the aim of making a little bit of money! Just one day I signed-in! The thing is that the more I use it the more I like it!!! The amazing thing is to see how many different question a human being can make! some question probably I'd never make, it surprises me every time! stunning.

Yes, it is amazing that so many people ask and answer question. I do like Mylotter helping to answer my question :)

I also have the same problem in Mylot.. during my first month I got to accumulate enough earnings for payout because of tasks but now there are very limited tasks and sometimes it is also limited to certain countries only.. I hope there would be more people here to post some task.. :(

Yes, as more than 50% of income is from task. I feel bad when I cannot find task for me. Then I will try to find some topic that I am interested. However, I consume quite a lot of time.

You just have to be patient. You are going to find like me that even though you work those sites for awhile, they will misrate and won't pay you when you know good and well you did exactly what they asked and they get to keep the money just by saying you did not do the task correctly. I got tired of this happening to me. You will be better off staying at mylott.

That happens on me too. Mostly happen in minuteworkers. But microworker is much better. Well, yes Mylotter will not mis rate me :)

myLot tasks can pale in comparison with other earning sites. But that's why there are other ways to earn here. Doing tasks is just one way. Maybe it's just a stage. I mean, there were also times when I also felt a bit demotivated but I still kept myLot. It's still a good earning site that pays :)

Yeah there are some days where this website seems more of a labor of work than rather a labor of love. That is not the attitude that you want for a website like myLot for sure. It is supposed to be a mostly enjoyable experience. Of course, I think that after two years, I've managed to get things down to the point where I can pick my spots well. I think that there must be days where I am pretty much on auto pilot and in my mind, there is a very key strategy about how to get to a payout, but I really try not to think about that. What I think about is trying to just do as many posts as possible. Granted, there are times where I need to take a day off or a half of a day off and it does work out rather well.

I love to come on here, but I have been looking and doing other things as well on other sites with a friend.I do try to get on here once in a while and it has been hard to start a discussion, as well as be in the right mood to reply to discussions.I have also noticed that there are other people that are usually on here that have not started or replied to discussions for a while.

well, no one is forcing you. Just take your time. if you miss mylotting you can always come back. in mylot the best way to earn is active participation and better if you have referrals, the task here aren't really that rewarding.

well maybe you should try to work at both sites equally and still make money from mylot and there i dont think anyone should ever give up on a site.

I did run both site for a month. I still far from cash out but I am going to have my third cash out in another site, each time more than 10 USD.
