I have a target of reaching 250 posts by the end of this month. This is the first time I have set a target on myself and hope to reach it. Do you set a target for yourself regarding the number of posts you would make or the money that want to earn? What is your target for this day, week or the month? What keeps you motivated?

I don't have any current goals for myself, but I am only a Freshman in high school, so I don't really need the money, or the stars, or anything, but it's nice. So really I just try for 1 to 5 posts per night

Well, what you said is true, my parents pay for everything, but I'm trying to start early, and I would like my career to have something to do with writing so i figured, why not start here?

I am 24.. When I was in High school I didn't need extra money. My parents payed me everything. But now is harder to find extra income than if I'd started 6 years ago. So find now the opportunities and use them.

I don't really have a target post, I just target to like hit the payout every month. The thing that keeps me motivated is the fact that I haven't started with my new job yet...and I really need the income. lol

You should read the thread that littletinker started on making mylot a better discussion board. It is good advice.

That is nice, if everyone get paid monthly. I hope so after while it is possible. I would like to ask you donsky14: Do you earn enough to pay your bills from the internet? I try to do it as an extra incom, and my goal is at least 100$ (not only from mylot).

Hi nikky, it’s nice to have plan and to set a target when we want to carry out any plan, so that we at least could have a proper bearing to move forward. I’m glad that you have set a target of reaching 250 posts by the end of this month. That means you still have 8 days to go before the last day. So keep it up and try your best to achieve the remainder of posts, yeah, it’s a unique number of triple one, during these days. Everyday 14 posts to reach your set target, and I think this is not a problem for you. Yeah, where there is a will and there is a way. Make great efforts and hopefully you could hit your goal in time. I have a small target only and that is as simple as to login here daily during my spare time. Happy posting and take care.

Well there is not any such kind of target that i have to earn a particular amount of money or respond to so many discussion or start so many discussion it is just that i wish to earn some extra money so whenever i get free time i do visit here and start a new discussion or responds to discussion where i can.

well, i must say that i`m so motivated, i wanna earn as soon as possible $30 and until now i have just $8,41. I hope that i`ll do this month $15, but now the college will begun, and it will be a little harder. I just wanna post at least 50posts / day, and i`ll be more than happy. But some days i can`t reach that, because i have other thing to do.. but i hope that this and the net month, i`ll reach thouse $30 , because i really need that money tobegin building a proffesional website, that i hope it will bring me at least $300/month at the begining.

wow That's cool. 50 posts a day is a big task for me, although I know that there are many out here who do 100 as well. I am sure you will make it by the end of the month if you work hard and I hope you get started with your website soon :)

I have no a specific post target. roughly, I plan to make around 5 posts every non-working-day morning. just try to be involved in this big community. hope to have lots of fun and get some interesting idea, together with some tiny inspiring pocket money.

I just started on mylot and since im unemployed i am on this site probably 5 to 6 hours a day trying to get to the 10.00 payout. I was setting a goal for myself for the first week to go over everyday the posts that i had done the day before. I wanted to reach that goal so i can achieve something good. I feel as if i did reach my goal and this week i hope to make it to 250 posts like your goal. I will have to work really hard to do so and that is if i dont get the job i have an interview for tommorrow.

I have been trying to post ten quality posts a day on here and respond to as many posts as possible. I've only been here for about a week. Your post has taught me two things... 1) I have not posted 10 posts a day every day. and 2)10 quality posts is not a very high goal. I like the idea of making payout, but, I have no idea how many posts I will have to write to make it. People like you keep me motivated, good luck with your goal!

My target in mylot is to cashout $10 within one month. I want to cashout every month. But time is not at all favorable.

I hope to reach 300 posts by the end of the month. I really want to reach my payout even though MyLot doesn't pay that much. I wish it did though. I don't neccessarily set a target for myself, but I would like to post that many discussions as it gives many more features to mylot :)

I think since I am very new, that doing at least 5 - 10 quality posts a day would be good to do. I spend the majority of my day on the internet, seeing as many of my classes require computers for projects or I can go to the library if I have no work. I am still getting the feel for this site, and so far it looks really amazing, seeing as I can express my opinions and share things with people who really care, with the added bonus of pay.

hi nikky 28.. Actually, I joined mylot about couple years ago. That time I interested in join mylot because I think I can improve my english here, since I'm not so good at it. I was also thought that I might a few bucks here. But then I got busy with my college study, then I started to forgot to do some activity here. Just yesterday I remember about this interesting site. Then I started to mylotting again. Yeah... I think I need to set a target now. I wish by getting involved in many discussion, read other's responses and post my own response I could improve my english and having more vocabulary.Now, I am targetting to post about 5 response each day. Maybe by the end of this month I can make more than 200 post.

You know nikky you are doing the right thing!I feel that when you set a target it gives you that added push to work harder, so you end up doing a lot more than what you do without having a goal, like myself who does precious little LOL - i wish you all the best and hope that you are able to reach your goal ..

I would have to say, yes I set goals for myself here, but I don't get too mad if I don't reach a certain post number per day. I was really trying to hit 200 a while ago, because I wanted to use smilies and not that I can use them my next goal is to reach 500 so that I can cut and paste. I also am slightly ore concerned with my earnings than the exact number of posts, so I try to write lnger responses and do less of them!

Oh I want to so use smileys as well :( And copy pasting would be such a relief. Thats true, that we have to write longer responses. Have a nice day!

Funny, i don't even think of a target. I'm just enjoying the sharing of experiences. Maybe because I have a regular job that's why I don't mind if I see 0.38 as my earnings in a span of 2 weeks??
