Are you on Mylot only to earn?

Today i was surfing a lot of sites to see if there are any good sites to work on which will pay me well to survive my days. I came across some wonderful professional sites which pay you for writing for them. But these sites are not normal sites where you can write anything and anyhow and they will accept it and pay you. But these sites require pure skills and knowledge to write. For example in one of their sites they asked a very smart question on writing 200 words on how make a paper plane. From that i realized that i really need good writing skills. I do have good writing habit but the expertise these sites require, will expect me to be little more professional in writing. Also on My lot we have to write contents which are good in English and well written. I think i can get my writing skills placed here for a while and give myself a better practice so that i will improve by time and then i can think of getting on these bigger sites. What you think are you on my lot just for earning or to improve your writing skills?

Neither one. I'm on mylot to answer questions that I may have some information for someone who is asking, or just respond and give my opinion on something that I have a strong opinion about. The question would then be, would I still come here if there was no pay. If aqll of a sudden, they announced they are no longer paying. And the answer is yes. It's good to get paid, don't get me wrong. But I think it took me about two yrars to reach $10. But it was right around tax time and that 10 dollars felt like nothing. So I changed my payout to $20.

Personally I am on MyLot for all of the friends I have met here, also for when I need someone to talk to and have no one mylot is here for me! The earnings help a bit too but that's not the only reason I am here at all...

Of course,spending huge time and energy here is not only for learning and fun, but also money. Having spending heavy fee for my internet connection It is not a mistake to log in here for money?

Grip over writing skill is an art. A very hard to be grip over it. Just try, try and try.

When I was attended mylot, the purpose was to make dollars here. After bing here for about a month, I found that I can not make much money here, but I found that I can get a lot of information from mylot, and can get different views from people in different culture background. As we can not use facebook or twintter in China, mylot may be the very websites for us to know the outside world.

hi Archie I am here for a n umber of reasons like friendships from all over the world for an elderly lonely woman like me, helping others here, sharing and caring. and learning and yes also earnings as a fringe benefit to all of us. I do see myself improving my English although I am and American in the US and English is my mother tongue. No I am not on here only for money what an absurd idea.

There are no so many perceptions whether to earn or not. Most likely, people here enjoyed to convey their ideas without second thoughts. It is good site to have friends like you or to earn while participating in this site. Personally speaking, I enjoyed interacting with myLot members. I had learned so many things as they drawn to share their brilliant ideas and inner thoughts.

"also on mylot we have to write contents which are good in english and well written." not exactly. mylot only asks us to write in english as a common language, but it doesn't have to be perfect. the discussion guidelines say we can't "criticize bad/broken english" and everyone is welcome "regardless of their proficiency with the english language." http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx just do the best you can, but don't stress over it. many members who are not native english speakers say mylot helped them practice and improve their english. personally, i'm glad mylot is not a writing site and i will not treat it as a writing site where i must post "impressive articles." by not pressuring myself, i can enjoy mylot more by being spontaneous and shrugging off mistakes. i joined mylot believing that we're all on equal footing no matter what country we're from, that i can present views that the other person might not be aware of, while they can enlighten me on things i've always been curious about. as a result, we are learning while helping each other and even paid a little for doing so. i'm no longer anxious to reach payout every month, but i'm not sure i'll stay if they stopped paying. or maybe i'll be here less. i don't know. time will tell.

If you will spend a lot of times making comments and new discussions there is no doubts that you can absolutely make money here in mylot.

I am here for the fun and learning from others. I have a lot of fun, and I have also learned a lot from others, that it all far exceeds any money that I will make in here. If people come here just for the money, they really aren't getting all the benefits that mylot can provide for them. Most find out that the money is so small that they end up leaving over time anyway. I prefer to have fun and not worry about the money, as when I do that, I seem to to better and my earnings go up faster than I thought they would. I have never regretted my decision to join mylot, that is for sure. Take care, and have a wonderful day.

In some sites that you mentioned that requires a good writing skills the earnings is continues. Once you submit your article you start earning from it even when you are sleeping. But as you said requires more talent in writing. Unlike here in Mylot you shared ideas and participating in a discussion you earn and learn many things like in writing also. Before when I joined Mylot I just want to earn. But as I go through to this site I found out that it is a great site. You meet professionals here and most this is a right place to learn.

Hello Archie, When one joins Mylot he/she joins it for earning some online money but after joining it they realize that one cannot earn more here but definitely can have a fun with friends. So I am also a person from this category now these days I ma here on Mylot for fun not for money.

When I signed up in mylot, my purpose was really for earning. As I am doing mylot every time I can, I realize that I am enjoying here. So earning is just secondary now. I only earned a little as I am only doing responses and start discussions. I haven't done blogging and I had done a task once only.

Not only to earn. There are still other reasons such as having friends and learning new things. MyLot can be a place for everything. That is why I love it here including the people around.

Many of us are here for many reasons. Ive met people from all over the world here. Ive learned their customs and even recipes to cook. That is more valuable than any money we get here...
