WIth the new year coming up and resolutions and all, here's a good one for those of us working online for earnings. From now till Dec31, get your sites, blogs, thoughts and ideas, plan of attack, schedule of events and all in order. What you want to do, when and where. Then come Jan 1 our first new years resolution can be to be "committed and dillegent" to our earnings intentions. Set the same hours of the day , every day and commit to that and work the sites or blogs dillegently and add up earnings every month. You work normally "go to work" every day for 8 hours, so just set yourself whatever time to "go to work" at home every day. Always be on the look out for new ways to earn, new ways to advance what you are doing (I just heard something about bookmarking your site or something like that but it is supposed to help with traffic to your site/blog) and listen to others like here on MyLot and see what they have been doing, what they have to say about it or recommend it and then try it your self. Word from the experienced is the best in my book. Try one thing at a time. I learned that when I first started GPT - I heard about all of them and how much you oculd make. Joined 20 of them, drove myself into nutsville until I figured out what they really WEREN'T telling when they encourage you to join. and then slimed it all down, weeded it all out and worked what I had kept and am doing very well. I cover all my house hould utitities with GPT/survey money! Let us all know what your schedule of planning is, maybe we can help each other get the perfect plan to make good online earnings next year!

Basically I am making up the same strategy. I registered in a dozen of sites which were recommended by Mylot users, and made a decision to browse them all at a certain time once a day. I also made a blog (link is on my website) where I shortly describe these websites, but I think I will make another couple of blog pages by the end of December. So, I am glad there aer peole who start this business wisely! Lets stick together!

I look forward to hearing what others do and have experienced and has or has not worked. No better education than from those that have been there, done that!

no
that attack plan could be violent and only lead to bad things I think

That sounds like a good plan, I like that idea. I agree on we all need to help and support eachother.

I started totally on my own and just what I"ve heard, and it was not exactly hard, but more time consuming nad frustrating! So I share what I have learned and hope others can learn from it and make it work for them. Just "play the game" honestly and we'll all win win win!!!

Hi Coffee,
I'm kind-of new to mylots. But I'm curious, does mylots really pay enough to meritt several hours a day? I was under the impression it was just a very small amount and hardly worth the time. I don't think I'm understanding the 'money making' concept here. Can you explain it to me? How much money are those who follow your plan earning? How do I get started? Are there more sites worth my while? Thanks Coffee.

Excellent advice and great idea about getting everything in order now and starting a routine at the beginning of the new year.
I just wrote a list of the things that I need to do every week and will keep this list and add to it as I think of other things. There are forums I like to read and post to (including myLot), things I need to do daily for my eBay business, keeping my Squidoo lenses fresh and making new ones, my blogs to post on, articles to write and submit, etc.
It sounds like a lot, but putting it in a list makes it look somewhat manageable. I'm thinking maybe a check-off sheet for each day and week would at least help me see what areas I'm neglecting and might even help me pare things down a bit. Certainly the list is long enough to demonstrate that I probably don't need any new activities for the time being. Unless, of course, something else REALLY good comes along. (HA!)
Thanks for the tips!

You wore me out just reading that! But I'm a lister too but my problem is that I make so many lists! But I do have to make a schedule - daily. I need to organize to do certain things on certain days and NOT do them on their non-scheduled days! And Stick to it!! keep us posted on how it works out!

I am a visual person - out of sight, out of mind - and then I am lost. Problem is that I make a list for sepearate things I do, like one for computer stuff. one for errands to run, one for things to do around the house, one for.... They are all here clipped together, but I forget to look at them and end of the week when I clean up my desk area, I review them and turns out I did all I was suppose to anyway!!! Good grief...now that I write that is sounds so stupid!!

Well, you got it over me I guess! I could NEVER do a online "to do " list. I have to have that list in my hand!
