On-Line tasks that can be boring.

I have found that there are lots of tasks I do on line that are interesting, but then there are some boring tasks, like surfing some sites to get referrals. Although these sites tend to work, the success ratio can be low. For instance, you can surf for hours and get maybe one referral in return. This referral could turn out then, to be inactive, but then you can suddenly come across a really great referral, that participates well in your downline, and that seems to make the whole "boring" business well worth it. Progress is slow, but with persistence, it can suddenly seem to be all worth it and in a few years time, you can have quite a good little on-line business. What about you myLot users? Are you willing to do the boring stuff as well as the interesting stuff? Thanks..

I agree, Derek. In getting referrals, it is really a bitter-sweet thing. I have 4 non-active referrals in mylot and I've never tried getting any since. I go with the idea to never give up as well. Once I have the time, I might try out again..

Thanks for responding. Yes, bitter-sweet thing is a good description. But we can keep trying and being bored, then suddenly the boredom just seems to disappear. - Derek

Hi, Thanks for sharing. I find I need to get a balance of physical and sitting down activities. I love to be outdoors working on my garden, walking and taking photographs etc. If I do too much work on the computer, I tend to get aching muscles from not stretching, and if I do too much in the garden for instance, I get aching muscles from over-working them. I love both tasks, but tend to discipline myself to do just the right amount. What makes that confusing is that sometimes,too much and too little can change places - Derek

I find this absolutely boring. That could be the reason why i do not earn from Tasks neither do I have any referral whatsoever! I think, its worth to respond and read than to search for some stuffs with futile inner growth.

I don't earn with myLot tasks, as I much prefer to get involved with discussions. The tasks that even though I find boring on other sites like traffic exchange, I will do. I feel it would be great to have a large active downline on myLot. Then I would have the best of both worlds chatting and earning. I keep trying and I am getting there slowly. - Derek

Yes sometimes these things can get little boring. Even in case of MyLot sometimes searching for referrals seems bit boring. But to succeed in online business we have to do this boring stuff also. This is the only key to success. Also you mentioned it rightly, sometimes the referrals work sometimes they do not. But if we keep focus on our word without thinking of rewards surely we will succeed.

Thanks for responding. Yes, there are two sides to everything, good had bad, and interesting has boring. It is worth it to be bored sometimes though.. - Derek
