I joined MyLot to make some money and express my self. I am staying because I have made some new friends online and I am interested in their thoughts. I have met people who think differently than I do and I find it challenging to discuss things with them. While the money is nice I find I am more concerned with what others think about a topic.
I would like to know why you stay with MyLot is it the money? the friends? the challenge to defend your statements? or something else?

I mostly work at my computer as a self employed stock market researcher and investor. I need a diversion of some kind several times per day. MyLot does it for me.

Absolutely good for you. The most valuable thing my Father taught me was to save for a rainy day. As a consequence, I have been essentially debt free since 1985. Since that time I have taken 2 small business loans. This money was used to make money. That and a place to live are mostly the only good reasons to borrow money.
Besides the 'Golden Rule', being thrifty and always having a savings plan are the most important things we can teach upcoming generations.

I have convinced my children to invest in a retirement fund and when they have extra money to invest it is something. Three have purchased homes and are trying to save something each month. I have started a small investment for my grandchildren instead of giving them toys for Birthdays and Holidays. I now invest a small amount every month and give them something little to open at holidays. Hopefully in 20 years they will enjoy the nestegg more than the a lot of toys now.

At first when I was introduced to mylot, my first thoughts were "Wow, a potential money earning site....I'll give it a try". I was frantically posting within the next few days of joining and I stayed tuned to see how much I actually earned from all my hard work posting. Alas, the earnings were not up to par with what I had expected. But then, I'm still here at mylot? Why? I found that the mylot community was a great place to be and that earnings didn't really matter anymore. I remembered when I was quite dejected with mylot, many unknown "strangers" comforted and encouraged me with their kind and sweet words that I was persuaded to stay on. These "TRUE" friends that I haven't even met before is the main source of motivation why I'm still here. My friend base on mylot is growing by the day, and I'm quite happy with it. In addition to all that, I'm also still here because I believe my input in the discussions can actually help others clarify their doubts. I know that not all people find my replies or discussions useful, but just as long as one person appreciates my post, I'll be more than contented. I've been subjected to cruel replies and statements by other mylot members, but I don't let these things stand in the way from being who I want to be and who I am. I am firm on my stand and nothing can change that.

Thanks Zed for the compliment. It was just a rondom elaboration at that point of time when I was typing the response. To bobmnu, yeah, I guess it's money that pulls people into this site but once they start to settle in, their perspective changes and it's the friends and satisfaction that matters. Keep on posting, my friends!

I joined mylot because it pays something for the time i put in here. Over the time i have made a good number of friends and have responded to many discussions. I continue to be active but i would still confess that i am here becasue it pays. If it stops paying the interest would be much lower than today. If i find a discussion site which pays better i would concentrate more on that rather than here. It wont sound too good but the facts are here to stay.

I think this is true to almost everyone of us.
It is a process. And this company's marketing team knows about it.
They're good.

It is a process. And this is a marketing science that they were able to capture.
Enjoy!

Well I stayed here at mylot because I need the cash for college whatever I can get is good enough for me. I also get to express my opinions here and people actually listen and talk to me which makes me feel good. I also like all of the fun friends that I have made here on mylot.

I have joined these site recently and I want to continue it. My very first intention why I joined it was to earn some extra money at the same time as I was having some real fun here. I do enjoy spending some of my time here despite the fact of how busy I am on my studies. Also, I want to gain more friends and get a chance to share my ideas to others as well. It is really great that I got the opportunity to find a site like these. I also want to increase my earnings by getting some referrals from my friends and that is one of my primary goals once I have proven for myself that I could really be paid here. So that I could convinced them more to join me in this wonderful world of myLot wherein it's as if you are in paradise(giggles). Have a great time and have fun always my dear friend. ^_^

I agree with you about mylot. The best reason for joining mylot is that you can make extra money. I spend lots of time on it. I have been doing that every single day now. I have lots of friends already on mylot. I love to get referrals in order to increase my earnings. But I do not have any yet.

I started because of the money and I like to stay busy on line. I stay now, despite falling earnings and an obvious drop off in quality, because I am bored on the internet. Its a chance to earn peanuts but its slightly entertaining too. I like to find good discussions and try to debate even though most people are intolerant/ignorant/stubborn.

I joined Mylot for the purpose of earning money. Making friends is also part of my being here at mylot. Because without my friends here I will only earn a few cents. Part also of earning money is posting to a discussion, a quality discussions. This challenges me to really select discussion that I can post with quality. Without quality you only earn a few cents. Starting a discussion is also part of earning money. If no one start a discussion, no one will post one. So it's good to have a discussion where everybody interacts. You also earn money if you have a lot of responses on your discussion. So all of this put together keep me at mylot.

Is there a difference in payout between your post with quality and without quality?

sharing and thecaring also. mylot fills a gap thatI had
in my life and gives me something that is fun to do and rewarding socially and money wise too. I have grown to
care a lot about my friends and have learned so much from
being on here most days.

I stay with myLot because I am unable to stay away from it. I have to keep reading and responding to the discussions. I really like to share ideas with different people around the world and to give my opinion.
I also think it is good to discuss personal thoughts and feelings. I don't know anyone I can do this with in real life, but I can do it at myLot and I find that there are always some people who feel the same way I do, while others have different ideas.
I get so much more from myLot than the money I earn here.

I joined mylot because there are lots of active users here who really do participate in discussion or thread. I love answering discussion that I can relate to. With the money, it is a cool thing that I earn while enjoying here so it is really cool plus I gain friends.

I enjoy myLot for the social activity. I enjoy trying to understand where other people are coming from, and try to shed some light on issues I know people are looking at from only one direction....
I'm starting to find some people I would like to call friends....Here it is very easy to find out who you will and wont get along with...

Looking at one issue through a prism epitomized by everyone. Different views that enriches. I think we can just think like everyone else is thinking simultaneously, the world will be a better place (as long as we can tolerate the "voices"... or else we can be a bit insane)

I agree. I am in that phase. I am a bot skeptical that this money making strategy. But, worth a try.
I think the fun part is starting to sink in.

I think my starting point of joining mylot.com was initially for the pennies. I might be quite mad, but I love seeing a few pennies added to my account. Gives me a real kick. However, nowadays, I just come here because I want to type something.. hardly anyone chats with me, so I just come here to type and type and type.

I initially joined for the chance to make money. I don't have a lot of time to be on here, so I don't make a lot (I am only nearing my second payout after about 12 months). Since that time, I've learned that I can help people and get into some good discussions. I enjoy talking with people about my favorite subjects, and the online format means that I can do that on my time table.

I have stayed on mylot for I have enjoyed reading discussions and responding to them. I have made a few friends along the way and I like the little bit of extra money I get for just doing something I like to do anyways. To me it's relaxing and fun.
