I Got Rejected?? Booooooooooo...

Sorry love, but if you wrote up the task the way you typed this up, then it's a boiiiiinnnnng .... They want perfect grammar, English and punctuation. The odd "i" instead of "I" - they'll tell you to correct and resubmit, but how it works is, your content goes straight on a web page, so if it's impossible to fathom MyLot just send it back. I enjoy tasks as I love writing. It's a shame you got rejected if you know your stuff - for me it's generally I can write about it, but don't know the subject. Perhaps you could share tasks with another writer?

The key on passing the task is to use the related keywords. Literally using the keywords word per word. Opinions don't count and minimize using the "I" and "You" pronouns. There will always be a next time.

Hello LK. I too got rejected for this type of task, and to think I wrote or rather chose topics that I am really familiar with because they are related to my previous job. But I guess their standards are pretty high because I got the same message that I was not following the required format.

Well, well at least you tried and you learned some lessons from doing so anyway so cheers my dear! You know it is better to be rejected and you know you did not meet the criteria that is why you were rejected. It is definitely better than my sad experience of having performed the task successfully and the task creator even acknowledged it then the task creator suddenly required you to do the last step to get paid which is not at all possible to do. It is plain and simple cheating and I admit this is what we call waste of time. I wasted my time doing the task of of this id!ot and stup!d Task Creator. I even added him as friend because that is required in the task he created. I actually started a topic about and if you care to know the whole thing for your learn some lessons then do go to this link http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2140796.aspx?p=1#2_20131337/ I am now really angry with this b!tch!

oh! no need to worry about that my friend. i am not good in making those 6 paragraphs tasks! i do try to make one. but it is just really ahrd for me. as you can see i am not good in my english and well, i am not really that very greedy.. its fine with me to do mylotting alone... i truly handle about that well. jhelai

Ehrr.. Letran is supirior! we should never be rejected!LOL. i also tried the (6) paragraph marketing degree, which is my Course. so dont they dare to reject me! HAHAHAH!

Some of us are good at one thing and others are good at another. We must enjoy what we do in order to make it worthwhile too. I do not like writing about things that I am not interested in so I have not tried the writing tasks either and I stick to the discussions. You know you can have fun here so stick with us and just put that rejection down to experience

it's one thing i do not want to do a task about writing. aside from i am not so good in english, and in writing long story, i am afraid i get rejected. so i stick to posting. i enjoy so much in posting and i know i can earn without rejection.

I realize that I am not supposed to criticize spelling and grammar on myLot partly because there are so many users who have English as their second language. However, to reply to your posted question this is necessary. I certainly hope you cleaned up your grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as well as your capitalization, and was not the same as in your post. I get 10 capitalization and spelling mistakes without even getting into the subjective area of idea expression and sentence structure. If I received this type of writing that I had to sell to a third party, I would reject it also.

Oh I never waste my time on tasks.. not only because they don't interest me but I always get the feeling that if I did take time out to do one I will get rejected so I never bother. I'll stick to posting thank you very much

I understand how you feel. I had my share of rejections too. As a writer, I often take it as a crash to my ego But it's my fault too, I knew I shouldn't have opted for topics that I am clueless about. But still, it's worth a try. Since logging in this morning, I got accepted for 2 of my task submissions. So, keep trying!

Hi Letran... I never had a task rejected but i have one pedning for about 2 months now... after the 3 tasks I did which earned me only $0.05.. I never did any more tasks... i feel they are not so worth it.. and I would rather stick to the discussions.

okay, my friend, just not get bored for the rejection. There are many tasks available in mylot, you can choose another one. of course, you have worked hard for completing the task, but the result is not satisfied with you, I think you need accept this, and forget the unhappiness. In the first place, be happy is important. right?

Letran, I got 5 task submissions all rejected in a row. It was a real waste of precious time. Some of these tasks had to be done within seven hours and I finished some in the wee hours of the morning. Research was difficult as most topics are USA-centric. There was not much information. Actually, we need use only one of the keywords in our task. If you look at the keywords they are downright confusing. I think Sharon Bucks needs to buck up a bit of these lead words. I think she should pay ME to write up the copy before she offer it as tasks to MyLotters. To be fair to us, she should award us for some of the value she is getting. If the task payment is USD4 and our task assignments do not fully meet the criteria [which is not TRANSPARENT to us], then she should award us a pro-rata payment on what can be of use. Actually, I did ensure most of my task meet with the criterion set forth. I think most of mine got rejected because she prefers others. Using an axe, called "Does not meet required criteria." is her way of getting out of an arbitrary situation! What do you say?

We seem to get many alerts informing us of how many tasks are available and the outstanding pay involved. And it is-I suppose-if done correctly, you can earn tons more than merely forum discussing. I like to write, and believe I am fairly good at it grammatically and content wise. I have checked them out in the past to find out I won't take a stab at them and for many reasons. First of all, I cannot write of things that I am unfamiliar with, and to date, I have not been intrigued by anything in the tasks section. Secondly, I have heard "horror" stories of the rejections-like yours- and how people get frustrated when spending time to ultimately have it be a waste of their time. No thanks-If I am going to waste my time online, I will spend all day playing usless online games-something that is nothing more than entertainemnt. I don't like getting discouraged, so I will not waste my time on something the chances are very high I will not succeed in.

You are not alone in the sentiment. I tried out two tasks before which would pay a measly 10 cents each. Just wanted to see how it would go before I went any further. Good thing I only spent time doing 2 tasks because both were rejected. After reading a lot of discussions with people saying they've got tasks approved but also got tasks rejected, I realized there must be a batting average somewhere that I don't know the computation of. And I can't help but think what really happens when a task creator rejected submissions. What if he/she is just rejecting some to get them done for free? Who's to know if the rejected submissions were even used somewhere or not? I'm not accusing anyone here but since we don't even know what happens to the submissions after they were rejected, is it so surprising for some people to wonder? Just thinking/typing out loud ... Anyway, I no longer try out any tasks because it's a waste of time to exert a lot of effort only to find out that it's all for nothing. I'd rather join discussions and learn from my fellow mylotters or share whatever inputs I could ...

I have been doing tasks here for a while now and only recently have I been getting rejected - rejected and not being allowed to fix and re-submit. I am going to put my efforts into other writing sites. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of wasted time over here :(

Thank you for the discussion.I have been thinking about trying a task but so far I just have not found one that interest me. You do have to do a lot of work and the pay is not very high for all the time you spend doing the task. It does not feel good when after doing all that work to have your work rejected especially when you do not know why it was rejected. I do agree not getting paid anything for all your work is a waste of time.

Hello there LetranKnight...Are you good today? I know what you are talking about. I don't like doing those tasks either. To me you put in a lot of effort for them to say you didn't make it. I really hate that. I have chosen to stay with responding and starting my own discussions. I seem to be doing okay with that. Good discussion and keep up the good work. Have a nice day..

Hi letranknight, haha I was thinking of posting a discussion about that 6 paragraph task. I never tried doing a task simply because the pay is too low and the 6 paragraph task always have either such boring topics or topics I have no idea about. But recently I receive an alert that says they have raised the pay for it. Reaching $4 per write up. And then I thought hey $4 is not that bad for one task, it would only take you a few hours. And if you like writing I guess that's fine. But I still haven't tried it cause I had a lot of concerns. Like how do I know that they really had no use for the 6 paragraph I've written just in case they have rejected it. And I was bothered with the idea that there are thousands of mylotters who are probably interested of the job, how sure am I that by the time i finish mine, the job is still available... Anyway, that's too bad that yours was rejected. I'm pretty sure that could be annoying having to spend some time writing that in the first place. As for me, I still don't know if I'll ever do a task.lol
