calling all my associates.
hi dear friends all of us joined mylot and found it interesting for one reason or the other.
we develop an association and affinity with our new found friends and share our things , open up our minds and sometimes share our personal problems and interests on one to one basis.
but i find that many newcomers come , join, and fade away gradually.
perhaps due to lack of interest.
what can be done to generate more enthusiasm and interest among the new persons joining us??

I will be honest here. I joined because you can make money. I found out about mylot from someone's website with links for places to make money. But after I got here I found out it's alot of fun. I have people I talk to regularly on here and other sites now. People that I wouldn't have known otherwise.
I don't know why people leave after joining. Maybe they don't find people with the same interest?
I hope to stay here for a while and continue making new friends myself.

I haven't got any referral yet. I don't know why they don't like this site at I do. I'm crazy with this site at I come here daily and spend a lot of time typing reply to the discussion. Needless to say, it's the payout that motivated me to keep typing. I wish to get my first $10 as soon as possible. For the newbies, I think I am one of them since I just joined less than a week. It really depends on personal interest. Some people can sit long at the computer and patiently earn while replying discussion but some people just would like to find a short cut to earn faster. Or maybe most of the people also very busy with their daily routine and hardly have time to come by. Or maybe they having internet problem like slow loading. I know one friend of mine, have stop mylotting because the page simply load too slow with his internet connection.Also, the most important factor could be the language. Some people just couldn't type English too well, therefore they have difficult time to express themselves. After knowing these causes, I think it would be easier to think of a solution. Sorry for not giving any solution here as I also need some answers.

It's sad when some new users lose interest in myLot, particularly when they are someone's referral. It's so exciting to get a new referral and then disappointing when they don't become active or they just stop posting.
I try to encourage all new users by responding to new user discussions and I answer many discussions from people trying to understand how myLot works and why it's such a great site.
I think many new people give up when they see they have earned only a few cents. If they become enthusiastic myLotters they will soon have better earnings, but some of them only see myLot as a money making site and are not really interested in taking part in discussions, so they earn very little from their short posts.
People will stay a long time and take part regularly in myLot discussions when they know it is a friendly helpful place where we can all enjoy ourselves and learn new things from each other.

Why i joined mylot......actually the first thing i have in mind when i signed up is the earnings.I was a bit hesitant before because i really don't know what to do.I don't know if i would be able to stay here for a month,i was thinking how i'd be able to earn when i have so much house work to do and 2 kids to take care of.Now it's not the earning that made me stay here in mylot.It's the fun and the friends around here who even if you haven't seen them shows concern and care.Ready to extend their unbiased ideas,help and advices.

hi dear misty99. well most of the new mylot associates seem to be focussing only on the money making part of it!!
they seek enquiries for money makng onlin and still the concept is new and catches fancy with new people!!
they say wow we can make money in dollars by merely posting and responding!!
and many will lure others with this kind of propositions!!
such people will shift their patronage with swings of mood!!
but once the association goes deeper and new friends develop the bonding starts, and this bond carries the tempo of mylot into mylot culture!!

I joined myLot because I like to blog and discuss issues. Blogging is interesting because you can interact with people from different places and backgrounds that you normally would not converse with. I also thought why not make a little money for doing something I enjoy. I'm new and think there are enough topics here to keep me interested. The only thing I can think of to keep new people here is to make sure we respond specificaly to these new persons when we make posts. I used to post on news sites like CNN but got sick of never really having discussions, only a lot of individual opinions. This gets tedious real quick.

I joined because I was in need of extra cash, I am a full time stay at home mom. This was the very first social site i had ever joined. But surprise it became so much more. I'm still a newbie but I get so much out of mylot. Good friends, good discussions, an escape from daily routine. I think the people here are great and I am definately intending to stay. I'm glad to do something I enjoy and get paid for it.

I at first joined myLot when I searched for some online opportunities and when I searched myLot was listed. Before myLot I am already active in some forums and that is why when I saw that I can post on myLot and discuss things and at the same time earned I was excited. But of course at first I thought it was a scam thinking why would they pay for posting but as I learned the ropes here and met some friends (not actually meet, virtually only) I trusted myLot. I got to learn things and at the same time earn. ;)

I have to admit that I joined to make some money and then found that I enjoyed it. So I stayed for the interaction with my friends.

At the time I joined I was looking around for ways to make money online. I soon found that making money on line requires more of my time than I was willing to give. But by that time I was hooked on myLot. I had met some great people and I kept checking back in to see what they were up to.

The reason i joined mylot is to get some extra money from online.
But its not the money that holds me here, its all the good discussions and good helping friends in MYLOT.
Atfirst i didn't even thought of having such a good gang of friends but as time passed away mylot has become my second home.
i haven't been online in any of the sites like i do in mylot.
i love mylot.

No reason at all. I was browsing some sites and followed and linked. I didn't even know that they pay . So here I am happily Mylotting .
