Yes I do find myself getting bored. It seems that after three years on myLot there are not too many new discussions that I have not already seen countless numbers of times before.

hi whiteheather,
thanks for the response and yes there are countless discussions on this site and i m not as old as you are here but i have seen many discussions repeat of the previous discussions and this leads to boredom and then i do not feel like coming here time and again many times a day and even less respond to them.

hi asweetie, a good topic with so many responses. i have the same thought with you. i have not reached 500 postings, but i feel it is broing already. it is so hard to post more everyday. in the first days i came here, i thought it was interesting, but no curiosity now but boring comes. but i still keep posting here for i have not reached my first $10

hi bumping,
thanks for the response and i see you are about to reach 500 psts and i am sure you might feel lot better here though i didnt feel anything special once i reached that milestone and now i have to push myself real hard even to respond here or on my own discussion but i did push myself so i m not rude by not answering.

Sometimes it can be nice to take a little break away from the site. Day after day, there are many discussions that seem to be so much like the ones the day before. After I look around in many different subjects, if I don't feel that I have anything good to contribute I just close the site and do something else. Also there are some days when I just don't feel that much like writing or I'm tired from doing my other work. I find that it is much better for me to be rested and refreshed before I sit down to type. I make a little more sense and have fewer typographical errors.

Oh dear, I do know how you feel. Lately, I have not been posting her and have not actually been logging in to mylot. I had already reached my 2nd payout and the first thing that would really come to your mind, is really to do more postings. But it is actually the opposite. I do it now as a tension releaser more of an income generation site.

I am actually quite opposite of the way that you are. I actually feel overwhelmed at the number of discussions that I want to take part in. I think that the discussions on each day do differ and sometimes there aren't as many discussions that I'd like to respond to and other days I feel like there isn't enough time in the day to respond to the discussions that I am interested in.
I don't concentrate on what I am trying to earn though, I instead am concentrating on trying to make friends and learn and I always have a good time while I am here.

hi doran,
thanks for the response and yes i feel bored of the various discussion which are mearly repeat of older ones and that too not very old ones.. once i saw two discussions started one hour difference and they were word by word similar.. earning is not a major issue here as it pays too less to be really bothered.

hi amit,
thanks for the response and well it is usually 1 cent per post if you have 4 to 5 line answer..below that i dont think they are going to pay you anything and this respnse here from you i do not think would qualify for payments. You must read mylot guidelines and see that they mention that 4 to5 lines responses.

there is no way anyone could post 500 posts a day unless they were on here twenty four/7,or making one line posts which will'
earn zero cents.,must be three or four,even five lines is better to earn anything. as for discussions and quality there are t ons of discussions on here ,how can you not find quality ones among those that you think are not quality? maybe you just skim read the titles and not get the gist of the discussions, I am not bored at all.

Hi Hatley,
Thanks for responding but i did not post 500 in one day.. it took me months and months and though yes i m not fortunate enough to get my first pay out but i m not very far either.. it is nice that even at nearly 20,000 posts ur not bored..keep it up.

Well, I can understand how you might get burned out. It becomes a bit.. redundant after a while. And some days, we just aren't MOTIVATED to come on! And honestly, it doesn't change much after you reach 500. There are still going to be days where you don't feel in the MyLot "mood". And that's just how it is. So take a break, read or go out and do something - and maybe inspiration and motivation will come back to you. If it doesn't.. There's always tomorrow.

hi maezee,
thanks for the response and yes you are right ..when i reached 500 posts it was like oh ok instead of wow i did it.. it is nothing just lets you copy and paste which i have not done it till now.. and yes i havent been enough motivated to even respond to the responses and i have to be push myself to respond..because i dont want to be rude by not answering.

I haven't suffered from burnout but there are a lot of things I don't like about mylot as well as some things I do like about it. I won't go into detail about the things I don't like about it but I do like the fact that we can connect with people from all over the world. I also like the fact that we can talk about anything on here. It's pretty much like we're all sitiing around the table discussing different issues. Kathy.

I do take a break from Mylot on Sundays now because I need it. Sunday is a very busy day for me because I go to worship twice a day. I go of the morning. Come home and have lunch, watch television, have a snack, and go out to feed my horse. Before you know it, it's time to start getting ready to go to worship again. We have bible class at 9:30, worship is at 10:30. We have worship again at 5:00 on Sunday Night. It keeps me pretty busy. Kathy.

Tell me please, how much you can earn by posting 500 posts everyday on mylot? Don't you think it's very meagre amount, what mylot pays per post. at least it should be 5 cents per post.
My lot is so popular and reliable site. I wonder what's their problem in incresing the rates?
I have earned two payouts here but that is mostly from the tasks and not from the posts.

I want tanks you, gunjanpri, because you let me laugh for a while.
I guess, due you are a member here since 8 months and already posted something around 100 posts, that you should know is pratically impossible post 500 posts per day.
Anyway, if you could do that every day for several months, you will really get lot of money, but.... I guess you will need much more money to pay the psychiatric help you will need after done that big job .
Have a nice day ;)

yes if anyone can post 500 post everyday then he must be superman because i donot think even the fastest one can post more than 20 posts per hour and may be gunjan said everyday by mistake and i am sorry gunjan by saying u must be out of your mind..it was rude of me.. i hope you forgive me for that.

Heh, it's hard to reach 100 posts a day, let alone 500. Yes, though MyLot doesn't pay much for posts, it is fun to participate in discussions. However on the other hand, MyLot can make you lose track of a lot of time, resulting in neglecting other things.

myLot is more than just a minting site. It gives one an opportunity to interact with like minded people at a global level. You teach something here, you learn something you show case your life by uploading photos. It is in your hands to make it interesting and in the process you will start earning too!!!

hi allknowing,
thanks for the rpsonse and i know it is not a minting site..had it been a minting site do u think i would have got bored here? yes i like to discuss things here and do everything what this site is meant for but i feel ihave not been able to motivate myself enough to be here regularly as i was some days before .

I hope you will get back with renewed interest. The fact that you have got so many responses to your question is reason enough for you to get motivated!!

hi bluray,
thanks for the response and i can understand when your mood is not good you donot feel like coming here or even small irritating discussions irritate you a lot ..happens with me too and yes if u come here to earn which i think most of us come first thinking of earning then ofcourse it is very small rate.

Hello asweetie.
Yes, most of the time i feel the same. Often happens that I open myLot, check the discussions my friends started, check the newest discussions, check some of my interest discussions, and close the site.
Luckely, sometimes happens that I find some good discussion, or simply my mood is not so bored, and I'm beable to answer some discussions, as well as open one or two new ones.
Wish both of us will be more active here in the near future. The payout should be not so far away;)
Have a nice time

As mentioned before, try going out and enjoying the day.
When one sits in one place or does the same thing over and over
it is east to get depressed. Sadly, I do the same, not with myLot, but
with daily life. I have tons of clothes for 5, cooking, cleaning, trash,
yard work, it seems overwelming alot. I am working now on getting past the depressed point. myLot is a release for me. When I get really down I don't want to do anything, not even get on here, sadly this day in age we haft to put the effort to see things as Beautiful. That is all I was trying to say before.

How you rate a quality discussion and what format you said quality? Will you please elaborate with me how discussion being measured as quality? As far as I know mylot, will measure the quality of discussion but most of the responders and commenter and even the written discussion is written in one lines or one words only...I don't think if those discussion or response rated as quality?
@aerous (13434)

Well, that is your opinion and I think this is a must for us to relate on every discussion that we are participated.
It is really hard to start a new discussion because most of the time we don't know how to start and what discussion being relate to everybody here, right?

hi aerous,
thanks for the response, well the quality of discussion according to me is something that i can relate too and the discussions are not repetative because when ever i see my home page here i can think of another discussion nearly same as the ones that are posted and i dont say i havent done this too.. i am sure even this discussion someone must have posted before so it is very diffcult to find or post new discussions.

Hi asweetie! I am near my 500 posts and same here, I feel a bit bored sometime in here. Sometimes I just can't see some discussions that interest me. I don't know if I am just not in the mood or what. But that feeling comes and goes.

Hello friend, I feel same like you.My post only around 5 to 10 per days.I'm lack of motivate to stay longer in this site.May be lack of ideas also.Sometimes i just look around without any attemp to join the discussion.Maybe the payment is too low.have a nice day

Yes, I've been a tad inactive the last few days on MyLot. Though this might have been the cause of boredom, I've mainly been focusing most of my attentions on article writing for eHow, Xomba, Associated Content, Helium, and my two blogs.

I actually made a blog describing my process with making money at home online. In the blog, it shows everything that I do online to make money and also describes my goals and achievements. You may find it useful.
