Why are you here in mylot and how long have you been around mylot. I discovered mylot from another site and decided to give it a try since PTC sites are really slow when it comes to earnings. Is your main reason to earn money or just discuss with other people as well or is it both?
Well during my first week I was focused on earnings (I am still up to now haha) but other than that I learned to appreciate what mylot offers here, what I liked here is that you can ask literally any question here and you get a response from anyone(not all the time but 80% of the time people really answer your questions) :) I like the tasks too but it's sad when you get rejected even if you made an effort out of it(well i guess that's life, i did get some tasks approved too anyway)
I guess for now i am in here both sides to earn money and learn stuff too, how about you? what's your story for joining here in mylot?

i heard about this site from somebody's blog, I thought wow, a yahoo answers that pays? so I joined primarily for the money, I posted quite a bit the first day and realized I only made 30 cents but I thought about how much fun I had making the 30 cents so I stayed with it. I was doing stuff like this before for free on yahoo answers but now getting paid for it, makes it so much better.

I like to come here to chat and discuss things. Important things like tv and movies! :)
The pennies I earn here are totally secondary. I leave my earnings in my Paypal account and use that to buy stuff online.
I don't like the tasks lately. Some of the things they want you to research are way too obscure. Therefore making it near impossible to write 4 good paragraphs that make sense.
Some of the other tasks are just not worth it for .20.

i agree with you on that on the task part! the only task i probably liked was the create a logo and the 4 paragraph ones i earned 2$ for that one but that task took a lot of time to compose, and it's so hard to find the 4 paragraph task here i guess its because of the reward many are getting it. the other tasks like the backlink is something that i think is worth 0.20 too
anyway i like tv and movies too XD do you hang out there a lot?

I would say both. I think most of the user would vote for both. Although I have met people who are here only for discussions. Many men many minds.
When I first joined this site, my motive was to make money money and money not discussion and thus I used to respond to no response category without thnking that it is in my interest or not but now I have been choosy. I only respond to my friends discussion because I have 440+ friends and that is a big number. I don't get time to respond to other LOL! I am sorry if I can't respond to those no response category but Ever now and then I visit that portion to respond.

Hi there!
I have a lot of extra time so why not do it plus I get the bonus of earning at the side right which is pretty cool.
I just discovered that hobby like surfing the net can earn you bucks that is why I am doing the best I can

Hi there,i think i join this site one or two months ago haha.Before i join MyLot,my main aim is same as you,is to earn enough for payout.But i grew lazier and did't visit MyLot for more than a week,i am recently back and now,i feel that MyLot is a place that we can learn things and can have a say on anything while we can earn in the same time.So,Happy Mylotting :D

Just do a few a day that you feel comfortable with. It eventually adds up. Unfortunately it takes a while to accumulate enough for payout but it feels good when you eventually do so.

same here i think we joined just almost about the same time XD, i grew lazier too but anyway i just realized that i should not force to post myself for the sake of earning if i don't feel like it cause if i do that i stress myself and it might lead me to post some random discussion that everyone has probably asked. So for now i'll try to take it slow XD!

Well, I really wanted to join this site because primarily, I need some cash to fill in my PayPal account for future purchases, but as I am getting the hang of all this stuff, I'm starting to do this for fun. :) You never know what's gonna happen even for just a while. I thought people here were spammers but voila, everyone here makes sense unlike in other sites. That's why I'm earning and enjoying at the same time. :D

I used to love the site coz it has a wonderful community. But I also love to get paid while surfing to forums coz i've been in some forums for years now but I dont get paid.. If I can post and get paid while doing it, it's a very good luxury for me.. Fun + Earnings..

My mean objective was clearly to make money online, I am new on online internet earning, so i'm still focusing on how to master and come up with much easier ways to earn money. But i guess there are other advantage besides earning money online, you can also get other advantages such as learning something, ideas, opinions. Making friends online, which for me is the most interesting part. ^_^

At first I came with the solo motive to earn out of this.....but seeing such varied and realistic discussions changed my mind.....
Within two days I have learned so much.Got various ideas from different discussions and have started several discussion threads.
I am lucky I got this site......

I'm here for both reasons, although the fun and enjoyment outweighs the monetary reason. I have an off line job, so what I earn here is no big deal. The basic motivation is the enrichment discussions give me...

hi enciel,
I am not doing the task here. I am just starting a discussion or rather participating to a discussion.So sad to hear that some of your task are not approved.Just keep on trying and do your best always. Don't give up,you can make it.
Honestly, the first time I signed in here, I just thought of earning money online. I have my online job already and I am just hoping that what I can earn here will somehow increase what I am earning online.But later on I found out that I can earn slow here. And aside from that, I cannot get my payment in an instant.Despite what I had noticed here in mylot, I still continue to be here. But my goal being here is not earning anymore,but more on spending my past time.I can say that mylot is really and addicting site.It is so nice being here and meeting different people from different parts of the world. It is such a wonderful feeling exchanging views from other people.As for me, I learned so many things here. My knowledge is not limited anymore because I acquired some of what I know now based on participating here and reading some discussions.In addition to that, it expand also my vocabulary.I love learning every day. And meeting different people is fun also.

Well who wouldn't like it if money come rolling their way but of course, in this case it doesn't really come rolling, you have to work hard at it and in my definition of working hard, you'd have to post quality posts and participate a lot at that. So in the end, you'll find that you do enjoy the discussions after all, and what more when you see your cash balances being updated, it makes you even more happy and determined to stay on with this site. The one bad thing about this site is only it's tough and slow earnings program...I understand, it's not a get rich quick scheme either...So yea, i'm driven by the discussions and the money too ^_^

I'm a total forum junkie, so it was nice to see that I could make money doing what I do every day anyway. Besides this, I'm always looking for interesting sites to post on, as many of the sites I used to frequent have really taken a turn for the worse as of late.
Mylot seems like a good place to discuss just about anything, and I appreciate that above all. Being able to make money off of joining the discussions makes the deal all the sweeter, but it would be boring if not for the interesting conversation and people.
