So many posts about making money on myLot!

I really can't imagine a person coming to MyLot to replace their regular job! It would take a lot of work, alot of posts and referals to do something like that! I personally have a full time job and can't 'afford' to quit it (pensions, health care, etc)! But Mylot gives me two things that I am really happy with: -I get to meet alot of cool people and discuss what I want to discuss when I want to discuss it. I love to hash it out with liberals in the 'politics' page or seeking out people from other countries. I love to learn. -Extra cash. Some poeple say it is only a few cents a day, so what! A few cents a day over a couple of months is a a nice pile of change. From there it is what you do with the money that makes the difference: I have several internet pay sites and the MyLot cash will be used to invest in the stock market to take advantage of deappreciated values in the market (use money to make more). Another program will be used to by bulk freezer foods before prices jump from increased fuel cost (using money to save money). What will mylot give you? Leverage. Leverage to learn something new from someone you never met before and extra money (a penny saved is a penny earned but a penny made is a dollar in leverage). How's that? What do you think?

I think some people do see myLot as a money making opportunity. They will probably be disappointed and leave because they have no interest in starting or taking part in valuable discussions. It is a mistake many people make to think that the more posts you make the more you earn. Discussions about post numbers, earnings and goals will always get a lot of responses. Like simple questions that require a simple answer, they are easy to understand and to add a response for most people. A serious discussion about real issues or an important topic will get fewer responses because not everyone has something to say about it, or understands the topic. People who enjoy good quality discussions just have to put up with the sillier ones, or ignore them. Personally I would much rather write fewer responses in interesting discussions than write a lot of simple short responses just to reach my next goal.

everyone's goals and situations are different. there are some people who are stay at home parents who do have the time to put into mylot. I am very lucky that i have a great job that allows for alot of down time so i can hang out here on mylot most of the day. i mean who cares why people are here. rather it's to make money or to make friends. as long as they are happy

i have also seen there are so many post in money making. its also my question that if peopel make so much money online, then no body would need real jobs. I also can';t find how its possible to earn so much money.

I don't think earning money is the main goal in mylot. My first reason for post here is to improve my English. But in the meanwhile, mylot can give money for my posts. I think it is also a good thing but can not be the first reason for me to post here.

I agree with you on point one.Hope of earning your bread by writing posts in myLot is ridiculous.I don't know whether there is a arithmetic that a post with lots of responses may rank high and could obtain more money.If the hypothesis is true I think it may make sense since these kinds of discussions could attract many responses

I think the reason some people spend so much time on here is because they are unable to work for one reason or another or they are retired. I have no doubt they already know they can earn a lot more in one day at a real job then they can here even if they spent all day on mylot. But since they do spend their time here they just want to show others here that it is possible to make a little extra a month, which can come in handy for them. Okay, so I agree there shouldn't be so many discussions about it, but I usually just pass these up when I see them. I never spend too much time actually participating (responding/starting discussions). I get more caught up in the reading! So much for me getting rich on mylot! LOL

My friend introduced me here to spend my idle time by writing, instead of being sleepy always while waiting for reports from my technical group i do mylot writing and response to some discussion which i interested also. At first i saw it a chance to gain points and earn money when you have many post but i sometimes realized that it took the time of my working hour which my company paid me. Thats why i only do mylot writing after work and when no reports coming. Have a nice day!

Those posts about making money are repetitous and just plain boring.Quality posts and responses will pay if you can do this for enough hours.some of us are handicapped and this affords us a way to make extra money and also' enjoy the friendships and caring and sharing you can have on mylot.For those of us housebound our computer helps to make extra money to add to our social security checks.

Most people, unlike us, are here entirly to make money. They should realize that this place is for fun and that they will never make a huge profit out of anything on mylot. What we need here are more dedicated members :)

The coolest thing about myLot is taht it's a forum about.... ANYTHING!!! The making some extra pocket change is kinda cool too.

I think that most of those threads are pointless as there are hundreds of them asking a select few questions "how many cents do you get per post" "how much have you made so far" and "how can I make the most of mylot". I am here for the money initally, but I do like the conversation. The reason that I do not put my time into a proper job is because I am at college and most jobs available tend to look for full time people and I am not able to work that. I am currently looking for a job for over the summer, but I am not having much luck and that is my reason for trying to put a lot of effort into my lot and earn some extra money, so I can go out with friends, buy presents for people's birthdays etc.

I guess some people can justify devoting 11 hours to earn $2.87 on myLot. The ones that do it for money usually do not last very long. Because we know you can't earn an income on myLot unless you get a lot of active referrals. At least they are doing something positive with their lives and they are setting goals. This will help them later in life when they grow up.
