Are you here to make money, kill time, make friends, have discussions, argue, etc? I first joined because someone said you can make some money, but then I got hooked! Mylot has suckered me in and I can't resist spending time on here daily. It's the evils of the internet I guess.

Yes all of the above. I admit that I started to make money, but I too got hooked. When I'm online I have one window open to mylot at all times. No matter what else I'm doing I flip back to see the next discussion. I've found some good advise and a few recipes I have to try. I like the fact that you can give your 2 cents without getting a funny look. hahaha!

I'm here because of the money and because of the writing. The money is money and i could use that money to buy my college textbooks. The writing is helping me get better and better each day that goes by. Since I am an English major in college doing all this writing is helping me.

yeah, I know how that goes. College books are almost more expensive than the class itself!

LOL. Yeah they are it's kind of scary. When I buy the books I try not to write on them so I could sell them brand new and make a bigger profit.

True! I also got interested in mylot for financial reasons. I never guessed what I was in for. The minute I joined the discussions and posted some of my own, I was hooked. I would always open mylot first thing in the morning and stay online for the most of the day. Although I do not get to join discussions as much as I want to, I still take some peek at mylot every once in while. Then when its breaktime, that's when I get to post and join discussions.

I'm here to mainly make money and then make some friends. Of course I also like to join in on some discussions depending on what it is exactly and if it's something I know.

Yes,I have to admit I came here for money in the beginning cause someone told me I could earn more than $150 per month if I really work hard.But after a period of time I realized it is 'mission impossble'.In fact,mylot has become a part of my daily life now.I thought it is a good way to make friends and exchange ideas.So money doesnt matter anymore,the point is I have fun.Happy posting!

I don't get much adult interaction either. I have my son but he's just shy of a year right now so there really isn't much talking that goes on there. My husband's job keeps him away 12 hours a day without days off sometimes. Yeah, being alone all day stinks!!

I initially joined for the money but now its a habit where I come in everyday to post and respond to discussions. I enjoy it and like hearing what others have to say. I think I'm addicted to mylot LOL I spend more time in here than anywhere else online!

I also joined to make a little extra money and meet new people and like you, I got hooked. I love reading the posts and answering some of them. Some of the questions people come up with are hilarious and I find this site to be very enterainting.

Frankly, I come here for money, and I hope I can improve my English. I hope I can make friends here, but no one miss me when I am absent here for over 7 days.
I quit my job, and I hope I can earn enough money online. Mylot is a good site, but it is too hard for me to earn enough money by myself here. It is a hard job to increase referrals here.
