Aside from the earnings, myLot offers a lot more! I don't know about you guys but this site gives more than just money. I sure did got a lot from this site! I have to say, one of my real earnings here is the improvement of my writing capabilities. At first, my posts were just small but now, I can make long replies and my vocabulary somehow increased. English is not my main language but I learn a lot every time I post here. This greatly helps me with my reports and homeworks. Before, I couldn't even fill one whole page! Next is I learn a lot of different stuff here. A lot of distinct opinions and views from different people from different topics. These viewpoints helped improve my understanding of things. Lastly, I earned a lot of friends here. There are a lot of mylotters who are friendly and caring. I am thankful for those who became my friends and hope we'll keep the relationship.
What can you say about my earnings? Did you earn them to? What are other earnings you could think of?

Hi furion! I don't think I've ever replied to your discussions as your name is not familiar to me so I'll say welcome to myLot!
I too believe that here on myLot the money is not the main reason a lot of people are here - it certainly isn't for me. I have found many real good people here who have become friends not only here but outside too. It is fantastic to meet and discuss with peopke from all over the world and see their point of view on things. As you say for the people who do not have English as their mother tongue it is a very good way to learn the language - well done to you as you have used it for this purpose.
For me it is also a mine of information as to how to do things regarding my earnings online. I have learnt from so much of the good advice here and whenever I have a problem I just start a discussion and within minutes someone will be answering - that's great!
So let's just keep on posting and joining in the fun!

I think it's amazing how much your english writing skill have improved. I think it would be alot more difficult for most american's to learn to speak a different language let alone write as well as you.

You are right on that, the earnings on money is just a quarter of the learnings we get to know here. This is what mylot is all about, that's why it is stated that this is a "community made for people to contribute" their ideas and opinion in a more general way.
It's good to know that have finally realized this site's purpose, I hope that you enjoy here and keep sharing those good ideas of your's here.

I know what you mean. My spelling and grammer and typing skills have greatly improved since I became a member, which hasn't been very long. I hadn't typed for a number of years, since I quit working, and now it has all come back to me since being a member here. I also have made some good friends that we chat back and forth with, not just commenting on the subject of the discussion. I like this. I almost feel like I know them personally. Your English is outstanding. I would never know it is your second language. Keep up the good work.

i do agree with you mister furion.. because we have the same situation about writing capabilities. although my writing is improving slowly. but i is a big big thanks to my lot. i have also learn on how to express feelings here and raise up the freedom of speech.. heheh because in real exposure i want to try to express my feelings but i'm really scared. scared of doing such mistakes that would make people look at me and laugh at me.. i want to give my lot a reaspect and for a job weel done. for having this kind of site.. for people not just to earn money but also knowledge, friends and a helping hand.

Yup, I am earning more than just dollars too. Just like you dear my first language is not English as well. Hopefully this is helping me in my spelling,vocab, and grammar. If I make mistakes please help me out and correct me hehe. I am here on a mission to make friends, make money, make improvements in my English proficiency, have lots of fun blogging and posting and commenting. I too made a lot of friends and most of them are very nice mylotters who help me also gain wisdom for different people from all walks of life. This mylotting business is a common ground where all can speak their mind. Thanks for being a friend. Take care.

That is wonderful that you are learning so well. English is not my first language as well and I find it easy to learn a language when you are actually using it and interacting with it. You need to see, hear, smell and taste the language so to speak...Almost like it is you like you have always known that language but it was hidden inside waiting for you to let it out so to speak...that's my passion and take on learning languages...
