it was time that i was not so active on this community and when i turn back i saw the new here such as tasks!!I read about the system and so how it works to understand if it can be a new way to be active here but till now i am not experienced too much about this system seeing that there are not so much task available and so i don't know if the system in reality work as i tought!!
So what about you?Have you ever completed tasks here?what do you think about this system is much better when there was not or now when available?Do you usually complete tasks?and how much was useful for you considering your normal activity here on mylot?

I have seen tasks since its introduction in Mylot. Initially it was fun to take the task about finding few sites as per the topics givn. It is something I very rarely get these days. Few of my tasks are accepted and paid well. But in most cases, 2 $ tasks taken by me are rejected.

well i was able to reach my payout within a month because of the tasks.......there are many tasks available sometimes, but you need to be quick to accept it, as in a matter of seconds these tasks just go by leaving you with nothing.....the rate that you would get paid for these tasks depends upon what you are doing, i mean how much work are you putting in......i was happy to do those tasks......but you need to devote an hour or so researching on the topic specially if you don't know about it before you start writing........as authenticity is the prime focus of these tasks......
Hope you get your hands on some tasks soon !!!!!
Have a nice day !!!!

I have successful created a first new task in mylot..that's the good news, and the Bad news is that I have to add funds in it from my mylot earning balance. how am i gonna earn in my task if i had to pay for it. probably when i get my money then that's the time that i should be adding funds to my new task.

I have done several of the 'write 4 paragraphs' tasks which paid $2 each, so they were worth doing. The down side is that I spent quite a bit of time doing some that were rejected because they were too similar to some already published. If you are given a very specific subject it is inevitable that you are going to be using similar wording to someone else. So, I think those tasks are a good idea as long as you bear in mind that some of them will be a waste of time.

I am doing tasks for more than one month and I am very satisfied with mylot tasks. It provide a way of increasing my earning rapidly. I have already done more than 50 tasks and more than 30 of them have been accepted by the task creator. So you can say that I am quite successful in doing task. The fact is that in the beginning I did not have good success rate but as the time passed by I gained more and more experience on how to do tasks and now most of my tasks are accepted. Discussion in mylot is really important because you will not find tasks all the time but if you find one the you can definitely do it and if it get accepted then you will get good earning.

yeah i have tried tasks... at first it was really hard for me to understand it and i kept on reading and reading the instructions... but after i was able to submit one the next ones are easy. they are good though, faster way to increase your earnings here and you can easily reach payout. the writing tasks takes time, because you have to write about a certain product... i have forfeited some tasks, and i have had some rejected...

YOu have to keep looking for the tasks as they are posted through out the day at various times. Some are pretty easy and some are hard. Take it slow and start with the easier ones and then you can work your way up. Happy writing!

Looks I don't like the tasks.I apply for the task twice.One time I have finished all steps and I believe I follow the correct steps.But always can't got correct result.because you will find that will lost some steps when you do it.If you finish it and got the result,maybe they will say the result is not correct.I have not got any money from task.

I have not done the writing text but they pay 2 dollars or so for about 2 pages of writing which is not bad if you have too much free time on your hands but the rewards could be much better and they should be at least 5 dollars because to research and write a paper takes about one to two hours. Anyways i will try write a task later and let you know how it goes.

Actually, the $2.00 writing tasks are not asking for two pages of writing. They ask for 4 paragraphs with a minimum of 3-4 lines per paragraph that relate to the keywords and that flow together properly and logically. They're not asking anyone to write a paper... just paragraphs :)

Yep you're absolutely right... 6 to 8 paragraphs I haven't seen or tried yet. The most I've written is the tasks where they ask for a 500-word article on a certain subject -- and those were either $3 or $4 (sorry I don't have it in front of me to check), not $2. Mind you, too, since lots of people can create tasks now, I imagine the rewards or compensation are probably going to vary quite a bit... I've never done any yet that weren't posted by Sharon Bucks so I haven't seen the amounts being offered by other people. Thanks for mentioning it so I'll be sure to be on the lookout.

The one available couple days ago asked for 6 to 8 paragraph with 3-4 sentences so that is around 2 pages but maybe you missed that one. All in asking is for little more money for these tasks and hope you are not against that, anyways thanks for posting.

I submitted a task last week. It was a mess. My response to the task at hand was tossed into another response area and the 4 paragraph article was declined. Don't know at this point if I will try it again. It was my first task attempted and could be my last! I stick with responding to discussions most of the time. Once in awhile I get this sudden urge to post a discussion.

Yes in reality heard many opinions abou tasks where there are problems to cpmplete them and so to get the reward for single task too!!
I think the atsk you tried to complete,such as that one of 4 paragraphs,have a good worth when you start bu it is really difficutl to complete enterely and even to be accepted!!I think normally people here have a big activities deals with posts and dicussions so in many cases it will be much easier and faster than tasks!!Surely if you submit one for the first time and see the system don't really work you must be a little bored about them...anyway thanks for the task experience!

I was really pleased when they introduced tasks as another option for us here at myLot. I love doing the writing tasks (although I've also done the keyword search tasks when I've had the time for them). I enjoy working on either the four paragraph or the 500 word writing tasks. I find that I do better with those writing tasks where I already have a basic knowledge of the subject matter. It's obviously easier to write when you have a starting point already in mind as you're still reading the task description :) The tasks have definitely helped my earnings so that is a very nice thing indeed.

Hi, tony! I have done a few simple ones and have be paid for them. I have seen some that I do not feel too confident in doing. I also tried one and it was rejected because it was not long enough. (That was disappointing, but purely due to my carelessness.)
The new system works, you just have to chose according to your preferences. I suggest you read each one thoroughly and do not be disappointed if you are rejected, comes with the territory.

For me, the tasks are not necessary. My time online is restricted enough as it is, and I don't have the time to dedicate to a task that finishes within a specific time frame.
I'm sure for many others, they are a great way to generate extra income, but I'm not here for that, just want to share my opinions and mylot provides a very sound forum for that.
