What Motivates You to come Back to Mylot

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have had some other things taking me away from mylot and I usually end up not having enough energy to devote to mylot. This is really an exciting forum and there are always exciting discussions going on from all the friends we have from all over the world. This I guess should keep us motivated more than just the earnings.

You are right. There are peaks and troughs. I may have got busy at the trough so there was double discouragement

i think that there are many things in life that we sometimes need a rest from, although mylot is usually interesting, it does have peaks and troughs, so maybe you were too busy, and at the time not enjoying mylot as much as usual. but i'm only guessing, only you really know.

Doing the same thing all the time leads to boredom. I think there should be a break too.

Yes that is another way of looking at it. When we do the thing for a long time we need to take a break and do something else. Good idea.

It becomes bored and we do not have interest also towards it,so there should be a change continuously to maintain the interest to do it.

Wow! The number is quite high. I think that is the highest I have seen. Congratulations! I guess that is enough motivation for you to maintain it.

Some people are saying that quality is more important than quantity :) Just look at the people`s profiles .Some of them claim they are here for their friends or for another reason .But every where i look i can see a lot of banners with " The biggest opportunity you can find on internet " .Why don`t they put pictures with their friends on their profiles or links to Wikipedia ? That way we`ll all learn something new. :)

I have those days a lot these days. I am usually tired up with other stuff and just don't feel motivated to mylot. Probably when I get more serious I would begin to make some substantial earnings and that would motivated to come back more often.

i`m not posting a lot and i don`t open a lot of topics.In 2 weeks i only made 1,7 dollars but i must admit i am here to make an extra buck and to find other ways to make an extra buck

That is really a good point to motivate us to want to come back and stay with mylot. There are always exciting conversations taking place here.

I agree the first priority is the money. Then friends, interests and new ideas follow.

AM sure of it

From the response I have received from our colleagues, it is clear it is the interaction with the people here on mylot that is the main motivation for wanting to come back and participate day after day.

He is fine Hatley....were friends on facebook...he's busy with his gardening...and his little granddaughter whose become a beauty pageant contestant a few times this summer...and winning lots of trophies...I'll tell him that you miss him and say hi for you!

I understand. You have become a part and parcel of the community here at mylot.

hi 2wicelot and jillhill, was wondering about Grandpa Bob I never see his postings anymore. hope he is okay.see how much one gets todepend on all our friends here?

You are a very dedicated member it seems. And I must say you are a very motivated member of mylot too.

I do try to be. I have enjoyed Mylot from the very beginning.

I like the idea of kick starting ourselves. That is an excellent way to keep going on mylot it seems. Only if I will get addicted to it too

Oh, just give it some time and you will become addicted to MyLot.

That is a very good thing about mylot. There is a lot of information on it. There is always something new to learn everyday.

hi 2wicelot and I also learn something new each day. I will never be too old to learn as I may be a senior but my mind works just as well as always so can learn as I earn for the rest of my life lol lol.

You are absolutely right. The number one reason we signed up in the first place is for the money. Then later on we may have made new friends and discovered some new ideas here on mylot. I think I will keep that in mind and hopefully it would increase my motivation.

Agreed. It was all about the money initially but now it is about the people. Oh and the mony too.....

I been around here for three or four years now, and you are sure right, I came here for the money. I have met many new friends here and I like to log in and see how they are doing and what they are doing. Oh by the way I made payout two months ago, my first, woot,woot

From the responses received it appears that many of us first signed up to earn some money. Then we came to make friends and engaged in a lot of discussions and conversations and we have learnt a lot about so many cultures. Someone commented above that there is no paypal in their country but yet they contribute to the discussions here at mylot. I guess our priorities here at mylot are different for different people and they seem to change over time.

juliuxd don't assume that for me as yes I needed money too but also being retired and in a very tiresome retirement center, I was very lonely and isolated from other countries bu t here with my finges on my keyboard I can learn from allover the world and make friends too so for me its not just the money at all.as for national geographic or discovery that not the same, those are cold and impersonal mayhbe when you get older you will understand more what I am saying but til then do not try to speak for those of us who did want the friendships and the learnings.money is not all there is too life.

It seems we have all followed the same path. First we signed up to earn some money and now we have made lots of friends from all over the world.

hi 2wicelot and tech2d also for me its like a miracle as I am physically handicapped and low on money yet with the touch of my fingers on my keyboard I can talk to all my mylot friends from all over the world and not have to take buses, planes and etc just to talk to all of you from all over the world.

The people here are always willing to listen and to respond with useful contributions. It is really an awesome forum we have here.

It is really an excellent place to meet new friends and to stay in touch with the friends.

Mylot is an excellent forum for making friends and creating a community. We may have come here initially to earn some cash but now we are staying because of the friends and all the ideas we have learnt.

hi 2wicelot and zralte for me too,its people just like you two myfri ends, who keep me coming back all the time. asyou saythis is a community and I come here feeling down and end up laughing and smiling so mylot for me is good therapy lol.

Your friend must be earning a lot to make you want to come back and earn more yourself.

It is difficult to keep up with mylot if you are busy. But you can turn off notifications from that friend and you do not have to receive an email every time a new discussion is started.

That is true. We are always exchanging ideas with people from all over the world. That should be motivation enough to come back and participate.
