Do you have your own personal goals here on MyLot?

Perth, Australia
December 22, 2015 12:33am CST
Whenever I come on here, I try to think of an amount of discussions I'd like to answer, discussions I'd like to start and how much I'd like to make throughout the day. I sometimes reach my goals when I am on here for hours and hours and other times I am just too tired to do that much. But I like having my own personal goals and seeing if I can reach them. Do you have goals on MyLot or do you just go with the flow?

Other than trying to meet the redemption target, I go with the flow.

Yep, that's what I was going to say. My only goal is to make it to $10 each month.

Earning--I want to make 34 cents daily, that is enough to make payout every month. i try to start one, or maybe two discussions daily. I want to go to my previous discussions and answer the comments and responses I find there and interact with people who are here on my discussions. I visit new users and no responses and recent discussions the most.

@GardenGerty Does your plan of starting one or two discussions help you to get closer to your earnings goal of $0.34 a day? I'm still getting back into the groove of things here, and not sure I could come up with some good topics.

Well from the way you plan it all out then no doubt you do make pay out.

I've been a member here for ages, I've been on and off, but wondering why I still visit this site. My goal is to earn just like you guys, but if you want to make it big online then you have to register to any outsourcing website and apply for any job that you think you can handle. MyLot is just a stepping stone to make it big later on.

I just use this place as a place to relax and catch up with people I enjoy talking with. I do want to make payout sometimes, but it's not something I try to force.

I think that is good. A lot of people on here are just purely for the money. I think that if you actually enjoy yourself then it wont seem like a job or chore.

I do not set any goals when I log into mylot because it is difficult to calculate how much time is at my disposal. I came here and enjoy myself without setting any goals.

In the past I wish I could reach the payout every month. But it is too difficult to achieve. So I just hope I can reach the payout sooner. Now it spent me nearly three months reaching the payout.

I just come here when I can and that's it. If I were to try to have goals here, I'd end up being here too much and I don't think that's sensible for me.

I don't like the way I sounded in that last comment. I guess what I was trying to say is that I tend to be here too much because I like interacting with everyone and seeing what they are up to so I check in with one person and then another and before you know it I haven't gotten any of my chores done. So I come and enjoy the time I spend without trying to make a certain amount.

Why would I have goals? This is a hobby, not a job. Of course, I like to see $10 in my account every month, but that's all.

I have goals and sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't. Having a family member in hospice and fighting a virus causes some disruptions. I do the best I can and I guess that is all any realistic person would expect.

@Writingghost I'm truly sorry! I know I don't understand the situation completely with what you're going through but I know what it's like to feel hopeless and helpless and all alone. If ever you need to talk, please send me a message. I'm not saying I can help but I will be there for you. I wish I could help you, I'm so sorry.

I know that I won't make as much one day as I do another, so I just don't bother setting goals, and go with the flow. It has been quiet in here, and so therefore, I haven't made all that much. I know I won't make the payout this month, but that isn't the main reason why I am here, as it is for the interaction, and leaning from others. I know I will make ti next month, or eventually will, so that is all that matters, and besides it isn't all that much anyway, but it does add up over time.

@VivaLaDani13 One of my personal goals are I would like to learn being vocal , thoughtful and capable to generate views on different subjects promptly . Besides , I have another valuable aim to use and comprehend English language as is spoken by people of Canada , NZ, Aus , Britain and english speaking countries . I tend to read some posts carefully from people of such countries and notice the expressions used in different ways . Although I know english in written and oral terms but here I find the same familiarized words used in different sense and meanings .

@Daljinder I try to do one every day but I get overwhelmed when too many notifications come in lol So then...I guess I don't do many discussions really in general. Mainly focus on answering other discussions.
