What does myLot mean to you?a full-time job?
a part-time job?
a habit?
an extra source of income?
a family?what does myLot mean to you?i am new here and i just started using myLot, and for me, its one of the best way to meet friends because here, we can get to share a part of ourselves instead of just viewing photos, reading blogs, and any other sorts of things that is offered by other online communities. For me, this is the best of them all because i believe that the best way to know someone is through their opinions and views, and myLot definitely provides it.

A huge forum plus a lot more - that is myLot. Its like one of the best (if not the best) online community out there. Since it allows you to upload pictures and post to comments and pictures, just like any other site out there. Could use some videos too, but its ok. One thing's for sure though, myLot pays us members for what we do in myLot - and that is the best part. It's what separates it from the rest.

I feel your pain. Since i am a person like that as well. I usually keep m?y thoughts to myself, but when i speak out my mind, some people are astonished and ask, "is that really you?" since they do not get to hear my thoughts often.
Oh, i just viewed your profile, a fellow Filipino. hi there. really met a lot of our countrymen here too.

You sound like a Mylot commercial! LOL! I first came here to improve my typing and spelling skills! But since then I've made a lot of good and fun friends here! I take all the cash I make here and invest it in revenue sharing sites and it has grown in to a pretty good chunk of change! tdemex

haha..that's a good one. anyways, thanks for your comment of me sounding like a myLot commercial..made me smile..hehe..and i also have the same idea as you had. just that i still haven't reached the payout so still a long way to go for me. I'm trying to reach the payout in i don't know, less than 2 weeks if i can. I cannot treat this as a full-time job as i have other part-time jobs back here. So this is just one of them and maybe help out a little on the things i want to buy.

mylot for me is a best place for both fun and making some extra money. I am an active member of mylot i like this site very much because of large number of valued members and also the site is legit which pays members on time.
I like to share my views and also to ask other mylotters many questions which i have in my mind . above all of this i am earning some pocket money which i can use to eat daily sandwitch in my canteen.

Nice one. Yeah, i do believe that myLot pays its members on time, that's why i am here right now. Because of the good reputation. Yes, we all have different questions in mind, and sometimes we do not have all the answers. But here, its like as if you are talking to the whole world and asking for their opinions and thoughts on the said matter. That is why myLot is really the best online community. and earning is good too. Would be even greater if we can get to earn more, but have to stay contented, at least we are getting paid.

Yes i agree with that. It's like a huge forum that you can ask everything and anything. Of course, there are a few rules, but they are there to protect each and every one of us, not to place a burden on us. And, we get paid here. Although i still have not received any payments yet, i trust that myLot will continue to provide this income generating opportunity to everyone, and will do so for a long time.

Mylot is a form of recreational activity for me. The income is so low that nothing to reply on. The only fun is keep my mind moving, and find people to talk with. Some friends starts easy and interesting questions, others dull and difficult at least for me. I can make my choice and remain creative and contributive. Mylot is part of my daily life. Happy mylotting.

thanks for the response. Yes, the income might be low at start, but that's no problem since this is offered for free so we cannot argue with that. In addition, the income we can get from here can be use to invest in other things that has a higher rate of return. Once i get my payout here, i already have at least 2 things in mind in which i can invest it that can give me a huge return because there really are people who trust those sites that i will invest in. and yes, myLot has also become a part of my daily life. I couldn't even resist not going online to post here everytime i open my computer.

It’s a space where I can meet people and make friends widely.
It encourages me to write in English. Because English is not my mother language I find it difficult to write long English articles, but on Mylot I can start with a small post. As Confucius said ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’. I do feel the time I have spent on Mylot was worth it just for the chance to practice my English.
It’s a classroom where I can learn useful knowledge about my daily life. When I have something I don’t know how to do I start a discussion on the website and soon I will get informative answers. I really appreciate it.
The last but not least it did pay me. After 6 months I got paid finally.

aww..6 months is too long, according to most users here in myLot. For me, i target achieving the first payout in less than a month; however, i completely forgotten about the cutoff. So, i'll be expecting - no, hoping - to get paid on the next payday, which is 15th of October, and hopefully, more than the minimum $10.
Its really a great site because we can talk like this and share our views and opinions easily. Learning is not limited to the four walls of the classroom, and this is one of the learning opportunities we can take.

MyLot is a good place where I can improve my writing skills and enjoy the discussions that are posted here. I have never joined a website like myLot and I did not realize how much fun I could have giving my opinion on different topics. I also joined because I needed an extra source of income. MyLot has been a source of great inspiration just by responding to the discussions. MyLot is a fun and profitable place to visit on a daily basis.

That's great. I also practice my English here since i would like to be able to write a book someday. I think i can write, but there's just a problem with organizing my thoughts. So that's what i have to practice here.
Yes, it's definitely a profitable palce to visit everyday because there are a lot of things we can learn. And, learning doesn't stop. If we refuse to learn any further, then that means that we cannot perform well in society because it continues to grow and change.

nice one, "learning and earning." Well, i believe that describes what myLot is to many of us. Learning new things, learning from people, learning their ways and means, their culture and of course, earning :)
It can pay you real good if you have a couple of referrals who stay active and treat this as good business for themselves. This helps you earn a lot from them. That way, money can go in and can help out on those expenses. Well, at least that;s what i believe.

for now, it's a stress reliever. it keeps me away from all the pressures am dealing with for the whole day. then informative coz i am learning a lot not just from people's points of view but also their experiences. new friends! the bonus, am earning in a way. if there could be a possibility to earn more, why not? here goes multitasking... :)
@aylim14 (501)

i agree. Especially with me, handling different part-time jobs through out the day leaves me stressed out at the end of the day, but here, i can get to rest. Even though i read and type more, the stress just vanishes away, especially after hearing other people thoughts and opinions. Yes, meeting new friends also removes stress that we accumulate throughout the day since, personally, that is my experience. That is why whenever we have problems, we usually go out with our friends to cool off our heads. It's the same with here, we can get to "hang out" with our friends and just relax and be comfortable.

For me mylot is like a part time job as well as making new friends here..we can comment on each others discussion freely..i believe this is also a source for earning money too..here we just have to spend some time and respond on discussions and ultimately we get our earning..so it's like everything for me..

hi aylim,
i am new here to, i just loged in last week,but i love here quickly, i will visit my lot everyday and spend about 1 or two hours to view myloter's opinion and attend discussion too.
mylot to me like the second college where i can broaden my mind,make friends allover the world,get help from many friends and learn about different culture from the world,i am enjoying my second college life.
@aylim14 (501)
• Philippines
15 Sep 09
aww..that's nice to hear. Except that i would not want to call it a second college life since myLot allows you to be more flexible and choose your topics to "learn" from. It also enables you to start one at your own will and at your own pace too. Colleges most of the time do not offer those things except for a few select that offers those programs. anyways, welcome to myLot. It's nice here and the people are nice too. stay active and in time, we will see our rewards.

I think for me is is the best of all of the reasons you posted. It is income, although not a lot, but more than I started with. It is a way to share our views with others, learn and make friends in he process. Ir ia a very good networking site, and there aren't to many places where we can all come together and have fun, while we share. I have never regretted my decidion whatsoever to join mylot. I just wish I had found it sooner than I did. I found it while loking for things to do on the internet, and if it weren' for mylot, I wouldn't have found the other sites that I am a member of. So being in mylot, is good for me all the way around. I hope to be here for a very long time. Good luck o you and happy mylotting.

It's a source of income, but yeah, you won't get rich here unless you have a couple of referrals together with you, and treat this as a full-time job. i definitely agree. I beleive that i will never ever regret having to join here in myLot.
Yes, i do feel your pain, i also wished i found about myLot earlier. but to tell you the truth, i think i could have but just was ignorant to know that myLot is a treasure. I joined myLot last July, if im not mistaken, however, back then i really cannot understand what it really was since no one told me about it. i just stumbled upon myLot just like you did. But, after making a post, i quit because i really do not know what i was doing. after two months, after being able to researched on some earning sites on the internet, myLot was one of the legit sites that pays its members, always. So i decided to give it a try. Then, lo and behold, my earnings last july was still carried over. Then i really got into myLot. Today is my fifth day i think. And im loving it.

hello aylim24 WELCOME TO MYLOT..am glad you are here, and you won't regret it. just to answer some of your questions...
a part/full-time job? - well, something like that since I am more of socializing with other people and allowing ourselves to communicate and learned from each other in all parts of the globe. most of the time now i try not to consider it a job, just a hobby.
a habit? - it didn't take long before it became a habit for me to do mylot. i usually mylot here almost every single day and can do until around two in the morning.
an extra source of income? - Yup it does, it's the main reason i used the internet now not just to have fun but to save money as well. and this time i don't intend to spend it restlessly.
@aylim14 (501)

yes, me too. it easily became a habit because i really enjoy sharing thoughts and opinions with other people, because in real life, more often than not, people often flare up and the discussions can no longer be continued objectively, unlike here. It's really good that myLot is here to provide us with a chance to express ourselves.

hi aylim14 The mean of mylot to me is a friends of mine that you can count on him. if you have a problem you post it here and many member of mylot is given you advice of you problem and if you have a question you can create discussion and you can post here also. and many member of mylot is answering your question. i treat mylot like a friends to me.. I'm enjoyed stay here in mylot I'm enjoyed what I'm doing here. mylot is apart of my life. i spend all my free time here mylot is like a family also for me! and the best that you can earn money from mylot!
@aylim14 (501)

yes, it's like having close friends from all over the world. People give advices and comments and comforts you whenever you are down. I once answered a discussion before where it asked the members why they joined myLot? if it was for the money or what. But, right now, i think that initially, it is for the money, but after that, once that member has already tried out myLot for themselves and really loved and enjoyed their time here, i believe that earning would just come to a close second to the friendship and connections we make here in myLot.

hi aylim14,
cheers to you my new found friend in mylot. for me, mylot is a hobby. a productive hobby and a stress management activity for me. mylot gives me the opportunity to express my thoughts and feelings (whatever it is without feeling any discrimination from mylot community), a productive hobby because i will be earning from all the efforts i invested in sharing my piece and a this makes me relax (although at times mylot is a stressor... especially if i am pushing myself to reach a certain number of responses) but most of the time a very relaxing activity for me.
@aylim14 (501)

myLot has also become my hobby. actually, i even myLot in the office, and if i can even do it using my phone, i will. So if that feature already exists, you could tell me, but if not, maybe they could add that one, what do you think? and i definitely agree with what you said that this is just not any hobby but a productive one. myLot is stress? hmm..i don't know about that. Yes, we sometime want to push ourselves because of the money part, but i don't think that this adds stress to you since for me, i only answer topics that are to my interests and if i do answer it, i really take it seriously, that's why i don't just reply nonsense things but rather "quality" responses (according to me) because i believe that for ever person who replies to your posts (like you and other people that replied to mine) took a time off their busy schedule to share a part of themselves here. For that reason, i always reply a good one.

Another way to make money....lol And I also enjoy interacting with other people online.

Interacting with people is one thing, but exchanging opinions and views is another. This is really a great place since people can do this without getting upset or even have to fight each other, as what is happening in courts or even simple gatherings worldwide. i know, because i have personally experienced this first hand when a simple get-together party was spoiled and had to go back to heir homes because of people who can't seem to listen to another person's opinions.

An awesome way to just chill out and talk about the stuff i enjoy. But to be completely honest the true reason for joining was to make a little bit of cash for doing what i love to do :)
@aylim14 (501)

Yes, there's always that earning part in every myLotter out there, in my opinion. But, the community itself just makes you forget those things. yes, getting paid for saying you views and opinions is great. But the friendship you create and the things you learn is one thing that cannot be bought with any price, or so i believe.
