That's It; I Give Up

I have been pushing myself hard to see that I make July payout. I now have just above $4 in earnings and it is almost 1am. I try to make all my responses at least 4 lines long so I can earn up to 1 cent for each. But now I am tired, I am sleepy, my wrist hurts and I think it is just not worth pushing myself this hard to earn $6 in less than 2 days. So good night everyone and congratulations to all those who made July payout. As for me I get paid in August.

Hello,2wicelots,you do not need to worry too much,if you cannot make the target within this month,you will still be able to reach it next month and you will get a bigger payment two months later.
If you are tired,just go to bed and sleep more.It is not good pushing yourself too hard to do something.
Take care.

You are totally right easy888, there is no point pushing and hurting myself over $6 in 2 days. I got a surprise $5 payment from http://www.mycreditapply.com/network/ this week so i think i should take it in good faith and just slow down. I guess I set my target to high.

LOL give up already? you responded to my topic about July payout, I don't know how far you've got that time, but well $ 6 in 2 days does sound way too much. Enjoy your summer, don't worry about earnings, you can make it up in winter :)

I am the kind of person who likes to set goals and then go all out to achieve them at whatever cost. However, in this case I realised it is just not going to be possible. So I decided to abandon that target and just slow down a bit. I have already being paid a surprise $5 by http://www.mycreditapply.com/network/ this week. So I think I shouldn't be greedy and kill myself over $6 in less than 2 days. I would still be here participating though at slower pace.

Keep up the good work- Keep responding to people- It's awful hard to earn $6 in 2 days- the most I have made in 1 day was $1.60- and that was alot of responding- I don't post pictures, I have no referrals. Don't give up- just make sure you work hard next month- I think you need to make at least $10 a month to get the payout- not just $10 at the end of the month- Good luck!

Hey, don't work too hard. Health is wealth as they say. What's more important is that you're well rested and that you are enjoying what you are doing. Participating in great discussions here in mylot is rewarding enough sans the payout. Just think you're going to get a lot more come August's payout... Cheers!

I just started here on myLot but I'm glad to see there are so many people dedicated to the site. That's what makes it work after all. I've only made $0.14 so far, but I just started last night, so I guess that's pretty good. I'm going to take everyones' advice, though and try not to get too burnt out. I stayed up until 12:30 reading and posting and responding last night. I have a bad habit of not looking at the time as I'm going along and I realize too late that I'm up way longer than I should be, then I end up sleeping in. lol!
Good luck next month... I'm sure you'll be fresh and ready to make your payout!

I know what you mean. There are only so many discussions that we can answer quite a number of lines and it gets hard to figure out interesting posts. I was on a trip so I missed two weeks in which I did not have a computer and I had to catch up. Yes those two weeks make a difference.

Hello, 2wicelot!:-)
I am sorry that you are feeling like this. You are doing great and going on supersonic speed:-) you have made so many posts in 1 week that I wasn't able to make in 6 weeks. If you are not able to make it this month, so what? You will make a higher payout next month and I believe that it will something 'big'. I am expecting that you will cross me in no time and then I'll be following you:-) Just be yourself and do not push yourself too hard.
It's really good that you decided to take rest. This way you will be refreshed and can come with yet greater energy tomorrow. While I can't say that it's easy but you can still make it but I would advise you against attempting doing it as it will drain you. It's not worth that effort. I hope you will continue to contribute as great as you have done till now:-)

Thanks kamran. I really appreciate it. I actually set myself a target of reaching payout in less than 2 weeks of joining. But I guess it was not very realistic. It is possible but then it would drain and hurt me a lot. So I think I will just slow down and continue participating in a more leisurely way.

Don't sweat it there, take a chill pill man. myLot should not be all about getting money and if you just relax and post I think that you will reach payout before you know it ;-) As I am new here and I do not post a certain amount everyday or anything like many on here I only have $5.46 at the moment but hopefully I will be able to reach payout by August :-D Actually on second though I am going to be on vacation July 14-25 so I won't have time :-\ Oh well. This is my last post for now, it is 4:09 AM and I need to sleep! lol myLot is way to addicting :-P Rated +.

Yup yup, that is the way I have been taking it so far and sometimes I don't get as much as I want but I don't really care because I am enjoying myself. I don't see myLot as a job but rather an entertainment. I only have $4.49 left to earn before reaching the $10 payout hehe. Rated +.

i havent made payout for the last 3 months. i dont think they pay as much as they used to. im not here really for the money, but its fun to check my earnings everyday. it was fun in the beginning when i made alot. i seem to lose interst for a few days then i pop back on here., and reply. i think i get no credit when i get responses, because i went on vacation for a week and left with about 10 new discussions, my email was full of responses, but when i looked at my earnings the whole week i was gone, it was 0. so i reply mostly now.

I agree that you should just wait and get the payout in August. I used to make payout every month on here,but that hasn't happened for a couple of months now and I am not too worried about it as it seems as though it is getting harder and harder to make payout and so I figure that it isn't worht working so hard at it and whenever I get it, I will be thankful to have the extra cash!

I hope you can still keep on it. Just take it easy and do the post job when you have free time. Don't pay attention to the money very much, as so that you can find it's a surprise if one day this money becomes large.

Hello 2wice!It's really hard to earn a dollar here. When I joined last month, I didn't get to "work" every single day. I had to take care of some things and if I could log in, it was only on borrowed time. I have barely reached $5 and I think I'll get my first payment next month?If I can have the extra time. And there were days that I have no idea at all how to respond. As if my mind is a total blank. Those are the days that I'm distracted and it's tough to give quality responses when you're thinking about something else.
Anyway, I just keep things slow around here. If I can't think of something to write about, then I just give my friend's profiles a little visit by giving them a warm hello.
