... you will see this question many times the last day or two of the month, but since no one else seems to be asking, I will.
With approx 30 hours left to the month of July, have you made your goals? Will you make it before the cutoff?
Did you even make any goals? Are they all monetary, or do you strive for a certain number of posts, discussions started, pictures posted, etc?

I don't really set goals for myself. Last month I was trying my hardest to make payout, but I missed it by 2 cents! lol So by the first day of this month I was already set for payout. So I've basically just been trying to get my earnings as high as I can before payout. I don't set any goals, I just do what I can each day and I'm happy with that.

I don't set particular goals either. I've made payout every month since joining, so the only thing I might do is look at where I am the last few days of the month and maybe try to go over a certain dollar, but it's not a big deal.

I made payout but not my goal as yet. My goal was a minimum of 13.00 bucks so my daughter (18) could get something she wants. My goal for next month is based on the # of posts I want to hit atleast 1800. some months my goal is money other months it is number of posts.

Well I am up to 12.05 so I just might make the goal of 13.00 after all.

You're kidding, right?
In case you're not, I've got some info on my profile that will explain all that for you.
Oh, if you want to use my PayPal account that would be ok too!

No, I'm truly not kidding ... I didn't even know about the money when I first joined. I would actually like to be able to put it in an account for an animal charity, but myLot don't seem to have organised anything like that. It would be an excellent idea!

No big deal.
Couldn't you just take the money and make the donation yourself? A lot of places accept donations via PayPal, so you could get your own earnings and then just send it to whoever you wanted to.

I made payout, but I didnt exactly make my goal. I had planned to have 3000 posts before the month was up. But there is always next month at least I got payout.

That's a pretty lofty goal. I've been here since mid-February and I'm very active and you can see the number of posts that I have.
How long have you been a member?

I did not have any goals and neither i'm i making payout this month but i can not moan about it, i registered a month ago and i have only been here in the previous week.
But this time around i'm setting up a goal to make payout next month and not only that but also at $20+ to make up for this month. I think goals help you bring your motivation up and rolling. I'm into putting up goals now, i used to avoid them before

$20 is a pretty big goal for one month unless you have referrals, but if you're talking about adding this month's earnings to it, that should be do-able. Good luck!

Financially, I am long past my very simple goal of making payout. I had in mind to start a whole day of discussions, at least once, but did not do that. Also to post more pictures. I think I did. Tomorrow I will go resolve all of my unresolved discussions.

Well I usually don't worry about a goal of number of posts, etc. I just try to make the minimum payout each month, I'm close but seriously doubt I will make it this month. No biggie! I will make it for August.

I thought the same thing earlier on - very odd that no-one had asked.
I don't make goals. I have fun her and you can't make goals about much fun you are going to have or not.
I have made more posts than ever this month but that's due to the great number of discussions that Ighad found inspiring enough to respond to because I don't think I did any more than usual of more own. Consequently I have also made double the amount I have ev r made on here in one single month!
I acquired my first ever two referrakls this week too but up to now rhey are both dormant - see what next month brings.
So just by having fun with so many friends inspiring me to keep playing here I have reached $20 in one month - and I didn't think it possible

Awesome! I had several referrals but no one is posting any longer, so it's just little ol' me now too.
I made just shy of $20 last month and this month I'm a bit shorter than that, but there's still tomorrow, so who knows?
Good job, my friend!

Yes, I do believe I'm going to make payout and that was my goal. This morning when I logged on I was pretty close, and I've been trying to be busy here today. The first month that I was active, I missed it by about 18 cents and I hated that. Second month, of course, I made it. This is the third...

Good for you!
I started in the middle of Feb and didn't think I'd make it that first month with only a partial month, but I had a few good days and decided to go for it. I made it!

My goal was 500 post and $15 dollars. I reached the $15 but not the 500 post. I am a hundred away from goal so don't think i will make it. Next month I am setting the dollar amount to $20 and keeping the goal post at 500 until I make it. This is my first month so it was alot of just learning what I could actually do or not.

You've done great for your first month! I made payout my first month with only about 12-13 days since I joined in the middle of the month.
You've been here a while but you still might benefit by reading some of my tips - you can find them on my profile.

I just started really trying to achieve my goal for mylot and so far I would say I have done pretty well. I'm sure next month I will be able to reach the payout with no problem. If I really set my mind to something, I usually achieve my goals. Next month my goal is 50 posts per day! Wish me luck and if you have any tips they would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah hopefully I can do it though. Do you know of any good ways to get referrals? I would like to try and make a downline but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it? What would you recommend?

I don't really have goals, I'm here for fun and a few extra bucks but I do like to make payout and I usually nearly double that or a little more. I made a pact with myself that I'd do this for fun and the money would go toward my mortgage. I'm very pleased with the result, but especially with the friends I've made here. You know, you can NEVER have too many friends!

Hi my friend,
I have only been active this last 30 days I'm about $17 over payout so I'd say that was pretty good for the first month.
I have one referral and she did alot for a few days but she's been missing for past few days so I don't know what's up with that. lol
I had goals of number of posts up until I reached the 500 mark so I could get all the little perks which I love. Other than that, I just post and post lol
Maybe I need a life. lol
[i]Happy MyLotting,
Char[/i]
