I think myLot is the best thing since sliced bread and I don't even remember bread that wasn't pre-sliced!
It's not just myLot, either. There are a lot of survey sites that pay really well! I've earned so much from myLot and my survey sites that I can have a really nice Christmas this year. I've been buying gas from my online earnings and so much more!
I just had my highest payout EVER from myLot! I'm thrilled beyond words. Well, okay, not quite THAT thrilled... I can always find words. LOL
I just recently paid for my son's bus ticket from New York to Virginia AND the gas to go pick him up to deliver him to his brother's house. That was all done with money I earned online.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I REALLY love getting paid for my thoughts and ideas. I always said that, if I could find a job that paid me for talking, it would be the perfect job for me.
Does anyone else feel this way about making money for just giving your opinions? How are you doing with it? Are you happy making money this way?

Good Sunday morning, mentalward! Like some others I seldom respond to money making issues, as I don't have the time to spend on my computer, but for some-one like you, and your well rounded knowledge on many issues...you deserve your richs!
I always look for your discussions, but it requires a lot of computer time as I no longer get notifications of responses...and I don't know why!
There are times also, when responding to a discussion, I will refer people to you & your thoughts on a similar issue...I guess you are the "guru" of myLot!
P.S. good decision on your knee! Cheers!

I have no objection to it or I wouldn't be here as well. My myLot earnings pay for books and E Bay purchases. I usually make payout but that is certainly not what drives me. Many of my friends are folk that don't come here much if at all now and so we "chat" by E mail, Skype, IM etc. I love them wherever they are and don't need paying to speak to them. That said, I also love to meet up with folk here and I enjoy many of the discussions. I'd like to say that I don't respond to discussions about payment - but, er, that's just what I am doing. LOL. I'm a happy boy and a few dollars every month doesn't make me any the sadder.

I agree with you about money not being the main reason I'm here! I love this place and everything else we get from it; friendship, comeraderie, learning, teaching, joking, laughing, supporting, etc. This really is a wonderful social site with many wonderful people always willing to share a bit of themselves. I'd be here even if I didn't earn a penny!
It just kinda bonked me in the head about how much money I was actually making from these sites! It came on a day when I received $40.00; $20.00 in paypal and $20.00 in checks in the mail. I hadn't really thought about just how much one can make online before that.
I doubt I could enjoy myLot at all if it meant I had to WORK to create discussions or responses. I've noticed that some people see it that way; as if it were work. I just enjoy the heck out of myself and the money part of it takes care of itself.
All the money in the world couldn't compare with the other things I've gotten from myLot; the great friends I've made, awesome advice, side-splitting laughs, some really kicka$$ recipes, and all the rest.
I especially want to thank you, p1kef1sh, for your response, since you don't respond to these kinds of posts.

Aww, shucks. Now you've got me blushing! No, honest! I'm a blonde with a little bit of red thrown in there (just for kicks, you understand) so I blush easily. I really wish there was a way around that!
Hope you have a great weekend, p1ke!

Thanks! It's people like you that make it so much fun to be here in myLot! I adore my time here! I feel guilty sometimes because I know I should be doing other things but just can't check in at least once every day. LOL
Some of the survey sites also pay very well. If you hunt around long enough, you're bound to find some great sites that pay well. Some are bogus, but there are some great ones and I love giving my opinion, even if it's wrong.
At least in myLot, I've learned so much! That's my other hobby... learning. Talking and learning... I love 'em both!
Take care and happy myLotting!

I love making money this way. All I have to do is do what I best which is talking. I have been making alot of money just from this website and I love it. I have always wanted a job that i wouldnt have to work so hard and that something I was good at.

Hahahaha! Yep, you sound like me. I'm here for the TALKING, not the money! But, getting paid for it is like icing on the cake! I belong to a few survey sites as well that pay very handsomely and it just hit me exactly how much I was actually earning in a month!
Sure, it won't support a person, but it's sure a nice way to make some extra spending money! Just doing what comes naturally... talking. Well, it doesn't hurt to be a half-decent typist, either. LOL
And it's not just myLot! The survey sites ask questions and want your opinion. Most of the time it's a multiple-answer sort of thing but sometimes they want you to actually write out an answer. That's right up my alley! I've never been known to be a wallflower!

It's been a real God-send to me, too. I don't spend the money, I put it in savings so that when (not if) something happens I'll have money to take care of it. I'm so glad you could pay for your son's ticket, you must talk a LOT!! If I would catch up on all the emails that have piled up this past two weeks, I would have a nice chunk of change! I currently have 428 myLot notifications in my mailbox!

Yes I am happy to have those extra payments from myLot, just for doing what I enjoy.
I take part in other forums but none of them has the range of topics and the number of members I can communicate with at myLot.
I also love sharing my thoughts and exchanging ideas, experiences, opinions and advice.
I have gained a lot of knowledge and useful information from other people here, and I am happy to have new friends in many distant parts of the world.

WOW That's awesome!
And to answer your question, I love getting paid for my writing and for expressing my opinion as well I've always loved being a writer and to actually be able to show that what I love is paying good money is a real thrill.
So far I haven't spend the money I earned online on anything, because I want to save up and maybe pay my tuition with it . Tuition is big money so if I would be able to say that I paid it with my online earnings it would be really really cool. :)
I would love to givbe up my daytime job and be able to support myself with my online earnings. That would be really cool. Don't you think?

I do agree with you and getting paid for talking is not impossible already for this time for there is a lot of company that they are willing to pay us for we are taking a lot like Receptionist and a company for the telephone company in which they are get paid by talking a lot and here in MyLot I felt so great also because I could open my ideas in any way that I want and nobody would tell me that I am wrong.....

Hahaha! I'll say! You can't live on what you make with these things but it sure is nice to have a little extra spending money! The only way I can think of to earn enough just by talking is by being a radio or television host and that's just not me. Well, I can't get out and work full time so this is the next best thing!!!
Take care!

Hi mentalward..
Congratulations..
Yeah that was really the best about mylot.
We got paid from what we enjoyed.
Talking about what we have in minds and share with others.
We earn something by what we are happy to do.
Have a nice day..

Even I love getting paid for spreading my ideas ..
We are here actually exchanging the information that's it
and yes getting paid for it as well..
It is so good that we have the opportunity to exchange our
ideas with people from different countries!!
I really love mylot.
Hmm till today I only got paid from two sites only.
I am not complaining, it is just that I never put that much effort.
With me its a little bit of currency problem here.
So I don't actually get the same amount of money,
Some get deducted and stuffs..
But I want to have a rocking Christmas as well. So need to work a little bit harder.
In her Mylot you are actually getting something (knowledge) and not loosing anything!!
And you are also getting paid for it!!
Its really good.

I love making money this way, it helps me out a lot, because I am a college student, working part time, they can only give me a certain amount of hours, paying off a car, and paying other bills. I am a new user to all of this, but my balances keep on increasing and it is awesome!
