Compare and Contrast

It sounds like a writing assignment.
I compare and contrast myLot with other sites a lot. One person said she did not want to have to count on someone reading her stuff so she could earn. She prefers another site where you earn strictly for what you do. You do "talk" to each other, but it is not connected and you never know if someone has mentioned you.
It occurs to me that the reasons she dislikes myLot and prefers other places are the reasons I like myLot.
On this other given site you have to be there, every step of the way, to pick up a point at a time. You do know what you earn for, but if you are gone, you do not earn.
On myLot there is some variability in how much you earn. Never "a penny for this, a penny for that", but even if you have to leave, go take a nap, have a meal, or whatever,you are earning. There is not an excessive amount of residual for me. I could not just be gone for a month and still cash out. On the other hand, I have been busy a lot this month, I have not been here much, still, I am reasonably certain I will cash out.
There are a lot of sites where we can earn. We can be rewarded for doing tasks, one at a time or we can be rewarded for being connected. We can be on a "paid to do" site, or an earn by interacting site.
To me the contrast is sharp, and there is no comparison to myLot.

This is every day and is a place where I will push myself, because I care about the people here and they are my friends. Other places do not have any real attachment for me.If they disappear, oh, well, more time for myLot.

I agree 100% with you GG. myLot cannot be beaten in my thoughts.
I love it here, and makes earning just a side note.
And you are right, it is a great thing when one comes back to see that you have earned something, maybe updated from the last time you were on.
We make friends here, not just pennies.

Hi, Oshy, we need a banner that says that "We make friends here, not just pennies."

It may be that she doesn't understand what Mylot has to offer. If it isn't like what she is used to she doesn't want anything to do with it. Fear of the unknown. I agree that there is no comparison.

She has been a member here for years.Before the other site even was dreamed of. It is more like @RonElFran says, she is not really a writer but is more of an earner. She really needs money.

Mylot is one of a kind for me. I have always enjoyed this site.

I can't imagine a writer who doesn't want to count on someone reading what they write.

The problem is she is not really a writer. She is a "desperate to earner" with health problems and life problems. She wants to just do something to earn something.

I had been having a hard time understanding why she was not back here regularly as she has been a long time member. I know I can depend on my connections here. I want to be someone they depend on as well.

I am only on two earning sites. I much prefer this one due to the great interaction between members. The other is Swagbucks and you and I both know there is no interaction there, it's strictly on what you do when you do it.

You are correct. If most of your connections are in a different time zone you will see variations in your earnings based on that. I must be mostly connected to US earners as I only go up a very little bit overnight, but sometimes quite a bit in the afternoon even if I am gone.

Yes, it does. I was just explaining why I like myLot best.
