Lol he has real high expectations and he will be disappointed. As you already know I just enjoy being here with all of my friends. The little bit of extra money we make is a nice bonus.

I kind of feel sorry for people that misread the earnings amount and think 30 cents is 3 dollars...then they get mad because they don't have what they thought they had

If you devoted your whole day to myLot and nothing else, you might make enough to pay for your daily boloney sandwich, but it's going to be disappointing when they shut off the electricity because that didn't get paid. It's nice to have a few extra dollars, but I don't think there's anywhere on the net you can go to make enough money to live on.

@JolietJake and is mylot for "people that write articles professionally?"

@JolietJake (50190)

3 Jun 16

I think some people that write articles professionally can do it, but the average person isn't going to be able to.

Thank you for this. I grow tired of folks who think MyLot is going to replace their day jobs. I like to look at it as a hobby and the money as a small bonus. Because to me, thats what it is.

I'm kind of glad there isn't a 'referral' system here (at the moment) because I know what is going to happen if they implement one...people are going to start pushing it as a 'money making' site...again...

The guy who thinks that the can get $90-100/month has absolutely no idea. That is pure ignorance, it takes a lot to make the payout amount each month, and people don't get that, it is usually a pretty good gauge as to the work involved and turn around time to make that set amount.

@JolietJake Yeah, that would be a good place to start, but I like to try to keep myself up to the pace of earning what the former payout was. I have to say, that for me, it gets easier as I go along.

@Juliaacv I kind of set a 'goal' back in August to make payout every month, which required about 34 cents a day...but I abandoned it after seeing I really didn't have to 'try' to reach it

With the lower payout now, a person only needs 17 cents each day average, which to me isn't hard at all. I just got 11 cents in the last hour.

No...friendship is the goal...learning is a goal...knowing some funny things is a goal, to have some laughs is the goal..if only people realize that having fun can reduce medical bills, and that is added advantage then..mere five dollars would not really matter as much.

This is true. Money was the goal when I first signed up here but realized at a later time that there is more to it. The last activity that I had here was 3 years ago. I just missed writing stuff here and interacting with other people. I was surprised that I was still able to remember my password for this site. This is an amazing place for people to be heard and discuss with others common interests.

In general, there is no writing or blog type site that is going to make a ton of money. Even the old defunct sites weren't big payers. I guess some specialty sites can pay well or maybe Hubpages but no is ever going to make this income people think they are going to get. You come here to do some writing and interact with others and make a few cents for it. Accept it and be happy for those pennies.

Having these occasional sites pop up that promise 'big bucks' and then quickly fold probably aren't helping matters any. They give people unrealistic expectations.

This is definitely very true. No one will get rich from being here, and it doesn't replace your day job. It's a good place to be, meet new people, discuss things, while earning a little every day. By little I mean a few dollars a month.

I do not aim for $10 a month, much less to aim for $30 a month. I think the money is not enough to pay for the electricity to power the computer. On top of that, we still have to pay for the internet bill.

A good example of what I mean...someone just told me in a different discussion " i am not ready to spend my time for cents". This is probably not the place for them then.
