I have been banking on tasks to make money on myLot!
I have been doing myLot tasks regularly and they contribute largely to my earnings. Now I have almost dont with all the tasks at mylot and cant find any way out to get more takss. there are very few tasks for international users which restricts me from completing all tasks.
I think there should be more tasks for international users and I would like to complete all future tasks availiable at Mylot.

Hi jen,
Surely I can help you out!
Just ask me what you think you want to know.
Just for your basic understanding, Go to the guidelines section ( check at the end of page)
There you will come to know about most of the things on mylot.
If you still think you are confused, feel free to ask me.
:)
Happy Mylotting!

Yes, I have to agree. Sometimes I would like to complete one certain task but then I would later realize cannot because it is for some certain country only. I also find it hard to find tasks for international users. I hope people wuold post more tasks for international ones.

Even I dont like the concept of geographical targeting. If there is a task, it should be for entire myLot users and not only confined to some geographical locations.
Everybody must get equal opportunity to earn.

no not at all i dont like tasks because not even single of my task is been selected by mylot any time. So i dont want any more tasks also the tasks are very tough and hard to solve. so i dont try this tasks any more and also not seen any more mylotters completing this tasks.

I agree with you. Since I discovered doing the tasks here in mylot, I've earned more in a week than what I would normally earn for a month. That is no exaggeration at all! Some people have this false notion that writing tasks are difficult and it takes a lot of time. But if you have substantial writing skills, this is a reliable venture. The 4-paragraph writing tasks are fairly easy for 1.50$ that you can earn. I usually complete a single article in 15-20 minutes and since I've tried those tasks, I have been approved all the time. That's a whole lot of time savings as compared to the earnings you get from discussions even if you spend half a day around here.

yes i wan tore task though so sad coz some have a requirements like within a particular country only. while others take time to approved the task or they will not bother to approved it at all. i have 2 pending task and its almost a month now. and i saw that this member still keep on posting the same task again and again. looks like they just wan to accumulate a lot of member but they dont have any intention to approved it at all. its not even rejected duh.

yes that's how i felt too.it's seems that tasks are only limited and that those who made tasks have few tasks too. so in our case, that means that there's a possiblity that we are running our of task to accomplish.that's true.tasks really add up in our aernings and it's more fun accomplishing them and be paid in return.it's one way of motivating people here.

I have read comments on another site that similarly has tasks assigned. The comments come from the provider of the tasks and apparently they justify paying third world wages because of the competition from the poor countries. They think it is okay to pay a few pennies when actually the task is worth a lot more when you factor in your time. For a lot of tasks on this and other sites you are working for a dollar an hour or less, yet still get lots of takers.
If you live in India you can get paid by check from Amazon through their Amazon mechanical Turk where you do tasks but they tend to be just as underpaid as here. You actually have an advantage in India because they actually pay you whereas in other countries you can only get a gift certificate. I have accumulated a credit there but I cannot get it out in cash because I live in Canada.

I would like to see more tasks at mylot, but the kind that is different from the current ones, which are mostly for signing up to different sites. To be honest, I'm getting tired of all these sign-up tasks. I would like to see something different like tasks for commenting on different sites, etc.

I really miss the tasks too. I too counted on the extra income to pay my bills. I enjoyed doing the writing tasks. They went away before then came back paying less money so I am wondering what will happen this time. Do you think they will lower the payouts more? It has forced me to go to other writing websites and work hard on them but I cannot seem to get as much as I did here at myLot. Let's hope we get them back soon - happy mylotting everyone!

Yes, there should definitely be more tasks available for everyone. The tasks right now are very limited and I think there should also be more variety on them. SOme takes up too much of your time and some are not even available for your country. It's sad because not everyone are given the chance to participate on them.

I have just started to do task at myLot last week. I do agree with you that there aren't many task for international users like you and me. I do enjoy doing tasks as they pay quite well. So, I also hope that there will be more tasks available for us. Cheers =))

Hi Murtuza,
I would definitely like there to be more writing tasks on mylot, particularly ones that aren't about insurance!! I don't tend to do the tasks that require me to join sites or things like that because I am a member of enough sites anyway, but doing the few writing tasks I have managed to has made me feel like a strange form of money making professional (even if they are stressful and tend to keep my up the early hours lol!) Writing tasks seem to have dried up at the moment though
Oh well, good luck with future tasks

I have done one task in the past and did not get any credit for it. I was discourage to take a task from then on. I don't know about that task, but it was about joining a site and still I am very active to the site and still have not receive an payment from the one who gave me the task.

Yes, I would love more tasks. And not just any tasks, interesting tasks that don't require me to jump through hundreds of hoops for $0.05. Now, if there were tasks that required you to write a short horror story, or prepare a sports trivia for example, then I'd constantly be rummaging through the Tasks section.
