Have you set any for yourself yet? Do you stick with easy ones or do you try to challenge yourself? My June goal is definitely to reach 5000 posts...wow that is a big number!It doesn't feel like that long ago that was thinking it would take forever to reach 500 posts and now here I am nearing 10 times that amount! My other June goal is to reach at least $20. I'm already 1/4 of the way there and it's only the 6th so I'm in good shape for that goal so far. I used to have just little goals but I decided to challenge myself a little this month. My goal for July or August will be reaching page 2 of users by rating.

Good luck on your goal. I dont set goals on Mylot unless you count my daily gaol of having fun. I just dont want to turn Mylot into a chore to reach my goals. It works for me I do so much more when im not thinking of a certain goal i have to meet.

Thanks! 'Fun' is my main mylot goal but I do enjoy setting a few others. Mainly the only reason I even have a $ goal this month is because we're in the midst of the family's big birthday season LOL. We just had one a few weeks ago, another at the end of June, 2 in July and one on the 1st of August!

Hi!foxyfire That's great.Good luck to you.You guys out there are doing pretty well.So far I have never set myself any goals and i seem to taking it a bit too easy.When I read discussions like this it does give me a push.I keep telling myself I better get going.So far I never thought of it.I think to achieve something we have to set a goal.So you have got me thinking on that score.Thanks.Keep us posted as to how your goal setting and achievement is going.It will surely be an inspiration to many of us.

Thank you so much! I'm glad I got you thinking! My main goal really is to just enjoy my friends but I also like to have these other goals just for a little extra motivation.

That sounds like a good goal and I hope it goes well for you. I just post when I can. These days that works for me well. I am getting ready for surgery in the next few weeks so just doing what I can works.

I hope your surgery goes well and that you are able to return soon but as long as you are enjoying yourself here, that's all that really matters!

I'm sure you can manage 48 posts in 23 days. Maybe you should start some interesting discussions if you are having a hard time finding any to respond to.

This is only my second day here, but I've already made a goal for myself. I'd like to make at least 20 posts a day. I think that's a reasonable goal. I already have 39 cents from yesterday's posts.

That is a very reasonable goal and you are off to a good start! Welcome to mylot!

I only really have two goals. One is to finally reach 5500 posts and then to actually reach payout for this month. Of course if I don't make payout for this month, getting paid the month after wouldn't be so bad because that means I would get more the next month when I finally do get paid. It doesn't really matter to me though, I just want to see my account rise and not fall.

Steady progress is definitely the best goal to have! I've been lucky enough to never have a major drop of any kind and I certainly don't want to find out what it's like! Our posting goal is about the same...300 posts each...so I think we both end the month very happy!

My goal was to hit payout, but now I've got some stuff going on so I might not be able to. One of the other sites I participate in is offering triple points from today until next Thursday, so I will be spending most of my free time over there! I also have some real life stuff going on this month that will limit my time online in general.

I hope your real life stuff is just extra business and not anything bad! You'd be surprised though, pay seems to be really good here this month so far, you might be able to make it anyway!

That was supposed to be "extra busy-ness"...didn't pay attention that I spelled business!

That's a very good and challenging goals you have set for yourself. Good luck in reaching it out. It's a tall order but achievable. I am bit lazy so I am setting my goal for June just to reach the minimum payout of $10. To reach my goal, I need to at least post 10 response per day, upload some images and start at least one discussion per week. This is what I done last month and it worked so far for me. It seems very easy to do, but this already eat a lot of my time just to do it. It is taking me 3-4 hours per day. If possible I want to reduce this time so I can do something else. I usually don't care about the number of post I am doing, I basically gauge my performance on my earning per day. I need at least 35 cents per day to met the minimum payout and so far with the thing I am doing now I am doing more than 35 cent per day. There are days that I can't be online and so I am taking them into account, by working extra on days that I feel good and ideas are coming out easily. There are days that you don't feel like doing anything and that's a slow day. So this must be taken into account and usually the first two weeks is very hectic for to make some allowance and padding for my set goal. After that the last two weeks will be used catching up or relaxing and doing other things. Good luck again and let us know by the end of the month if you made it. See you around foxyfire.

Thanks robert! I think the best thing we all can do is to figure out what works best for our schedule and then go with that. I don't usually have more than a few minutes at a time to post but I try to have mylot up throughout the day so when ever I get a few minutes I can sit down and post until my other responsibilities need me again. I have plenty of days of not even being able to get on the computer so I know how that goes. I used to only start discussions every once in a while but lately I've been starting a few every day and I have noticed a big difference in the pay. I think I'll keep trying to do that along with responding to as many as I can.

I hadn't put to much thought into a goal for this month. I did reach the highest payout today that I've ever received. I'm closing in on 3000 post, so I would like to achieve that by the end of the month. As well as I always set a goal of reaching the $10 payout each month. But I have yet to achieve it in a month's time.

Come to think of it...I think I got my 2nd highest payout today...but this was the highest for one month. Now there's at least 3 of us shooting for roughly 300 posts in a month so hopefully all of us will make it!

My goal is to make it to 6000 posts, beat my highest monthly payout (which is only $14) and make it to page 2 on the top users by ratings list. I have 16 people to kick out of the way in order to make it to page 2.

LOL...I'll remember to never get ahead of you! I just checked though and 6 of the 16 ahead of you have no activity for at least 60 days so all you really have to deal with is the other 10! Good Luck, I'm sure you can do it!

I don't think you'll have to worry about me getting ahead anyway...as much as I wish I could, I don't think I can make up that much ground! Maybe I'll catch you on page one sometime next year LOL

All right! It just got a little bit easier then. You are allowed to get ahead of me. I will just have to stay on your tail to make it to page 2.

Hello There! My goal would be reaching 3000 posts this month and to reach again my minumum earnings here in mylot... And oh.. atleast make one or two discussions lolz.. I have run out of ideas here. Cheers!

LOL...I know what you mean about running out of ideas. What I found though was that I was over thinking things trying to come up with a really interesting discussion. It turns out that everyday stuff gets plenty of responses.

Ugh...that must have been frustrating! $19 is still really good but it's hard when you come so close...and miss it by so little! Good luck on reaching $25! I'm sure you can do it.

I don't really go on mylot that often but my goal is 500 posts. I have a life goal though, get fit before school starts again! I've already started my journey! Wish me luck!

Well, life goals are probably a lot more important than mylot goals! Good luck on your journey, I'm sure you can be successful!

The goal that I have set for myself is to make about twenty dollars a month here on MyLot. I have to respond to quite a few discussions to do that (about 60 a day atleast), but it's worthit in the end.

Pretty good goals there. I don't really set any other than trying to make minimum payout. After that I just go along as usual. I am not online much in the weekends nowadays - I hope I can get to 10,000 soon :)

I think I just had a surprisingly good May so it gave me that boost I needed to get back into things here. You're just 400 post away so I'm sure you can make it!

Yes, I'm setting a goal of 15.00 for June. I might be able to surpass that. If I made twenty I would be thrilled. All the money I get from my online activites I am saving it. I will use it when I find something I really want to buy.

Wow I really hope you achieve all this. I haven't set a June goal yet but last month I wanted to achieve $30 which I managed to JUST but I have had connectivity problems so feel this month with a heavier than normal schedule in life myLot life will be an achievement if I make payout. Ellie :D
@foxyfire33 (10005)

That's still really good! The highest payout I've ever had was just over $20 but that was including my first full month AND the 20 days of the month when I first joined. Life does get crazy this time of year so I'm trying to be conservative with my goals for now.

Hi foxyfire, My only goal on myLot is to get an average of $0.50 cents a day so I can make at least $15USD for the month. I don't set a posting goal to be honest and so far I am doing pretty good for my daily goal. I didn't make my daily goal yesterday though but that is okay. It usually gets made up when I make more than my desired goal amount. Good luck in reaching your June goal, you are doing way better than i am.

Well, normally I'm not doing quite this well but I really wanted to get a good start to this month because I know how busy the summer months can get. $15 a month really is a good amount to work towards. That's where I average usually.
