Have you used or spend your mylot earnings? Well I have just early today. I used 1000php that's around $20 from mylot and paid my internet provider. I wasn't so happy spending the money cause I plan to save it but I was cut short of funds so I was forced to use it.
But after a while I feel relieved that at least I was able to pay my internet provider. Anyways, its the purpose of my extra online earnings, to pay for the extra bills. I'm glad I am making money here.
What about you guys? Care to share?

My mylot earnings doesn’t really come to any use. India does not yet have widescale usage of paypal and only a few banks support money transfer and that also after a substantial amount has accumulated. After my first 10 dollars, I was so excited that I used part of it to subscribe to an online site. second time, I actually bought myself a dress material thru ebay, third time I bough a Chinese Bamboo Plant, a tin of Fox and an exotic beauty soap…all thru ebay. Now I am saving again as I want to buy a pack of exotic chocolates for my son for Christmas.
So you see, my mylot earning is not for essential commodities, its mainly to indulge myself in things which otherwise I am not able to afford or which would be wasteful expenditure to me.

So you come from India? It's sad that you can't withdraw the money from Paypal. But on the other hand, its still good cause you get to buy things you want from ebay. And I'd say your mylot earnings have already gone a long way. With over 3000 posts I bet you have earned a lot here hehe.
Happy mylotting!

I haven't use my online earnings. It is still in paypal account and I have no plan to use it until Christmas. I am planning to spend it in buying gifts for my family and friends. The rest I would save in my bank account. It's nice that earning online could be really helpful to pay bills or in buying stuff.

The first thing I spent my mylot earnings on was a pair of Sprawl fight shorts for my husband. The site took paypal and he needed them so I bought them for him and surprised him with the gift.

I haven't spent anything yet. I saved all my internet income so that I can buy a new digital camera for Christmas. But my mom said she'll just buy it for me so now I don't know what to do with my money. i think I'll just use it to go Christmas shopping since it's almost December. I'm not sure yet though. And I liked your old profile pic more, iskayz.

Oh yeah the digital camera. It's good that your mom is going to buy one for Christmas. It would be a good thing to buy gifts for your loved ones this Christmas using your mylot earnings.
About my profile, I kinda agree with you that the old one is much better. I don't know why I even changed it. I guess I'll be editing it again.
Happy mylotting!

I have never actually used my earning to buy anything yet. I am just happy to let the amount keep building up slowly in Moneybookers for now until some inspiration strikes me! At first I didn;t take much notice of the money but now that it has built up for so long I may even be in a position to get something worthwhile soon. Fingers crossed and we shall see!

Yeah I agree with you that its good to see if the money just keeps adding up. That was my original plan, to save the money and use it for something really worth buying for. But I was too short for this month so I was forced to use it. Anyways, mylot is worthwhile staying for so its good that I was able to pay for my internet cable. At least I can continue on mylotting!
Good luck and post it here if you have bought something from your mylot earnings! It will be interesting to know what you have bought.

I plan on saving the money I make on mylot and let it add up and send it to my student loans. I think the extra bit will help when i let it add up to more than what I pay monthly already. Other times I will use t for other bills if I really need the help.

At least you had $20 converted to P1000. If you didn't pay your internet provider, you could have bought some groceries with it. You are right, it pays for the extra bills. My first payout was a little bit over $20. I used it all for gas. But now I don't know what I'm going to do with my second one as I've started getting paid again from a real job. I'll probably save it too and let it accumulate like some here.

Hey, I am new to mylot and looking for earning some money from this. Once I start getting paid I am planning to save the money. It would be helpful to get some gift for my spouse. I am thinking not to gift him from his own money. So trying to earn some money myself. He would be surprised with the gift and the money earned. I am looking forward for the first payout from mylot even though I have a long way to go.

AN interesting disussion! I have not spent any of my mylot earnings. I will get my third payment this month. I plan to save more and then withdraw it into my bank account. I'd probably add it to my emergency fund.

Hi Sydney! I will also receive payment this month. This is going to be my fourth. I still haven't used all my mylot earnings. I still have some on my Paypal account and I plan to just keep it there and maybe withdraw it when the currency is much higher.
Thanks for sharing!
