My question really is should we put more time in one site and try to maximize that payout amount a month or should we have 5 or 6 sites that have smaller payouts and then get smaller amounts from a bunch of sites.... I have not had as much computer time as I would prefer since I have kids and I am never home alone really to focus just on the computer...as a mom I am interrupted every 2 minutes for something!! so I cant take a lot of focus on my sites to put so much effort lately and my earnings are truly showing how that is working out for me!! so I have only been focusing on one of my sites this past month and all my other sites are getting sorely neglected!!!! Granted I made 10.00 over the payout of 20.00 at Squishy Cash (making 31.00 last month) and I received 2 gift cards for my chips that I earned there.... (15.00 in total with gift cards)...so I made 46.00 there really if you put them together.. but I wanted to see if I really put more effort into just one site if that worked out for me.... I still made the same amount if I spread myself over the 4 or 5 sites that I focus on.... but I need more computer time to make more money!!!! LOL How about you...do you focus on only one site...or do you have time for all of your sites.....Have you ever tried to focus on just one site and see if you could maximize your earnings there??

Hello fellow Squishy Casher Lately I have been devoting the majority of my time to one site - SQUISHY CASH! lol This is the first month I've ever really done that though. In the past I divided my time up pretty equally. I feel very competitive at Squishy this month though and I'm doing such a great job earning, so I am motivated to work harder and harder there every day. I would imagine that come December I will probably be back to dividing up my time pretty equally. I'm actually really starting to notice how it's effecting my earnings on other sites (now that I'm not spending much time there!) So I'm trying to sneak a little extra time to them so I don't earn nothing at all on sites like Mylot, Neobux, Trekpay, etc!

Normally I just focus on mylot but I've never heard of Squishy Cash. What is it about? But I just focus on one normally since I rarely have time for online endeavours because school takes up so much time for me right now so therefore if I focus on this I can actually get my pay out than focusing on other sites to where I might not be able to make as much money for my time.

Squishy Cash is a gpt site --where you make up new junk emails and sign up for offers and compete in contests to add to your earnings...it really is a good site and I have been paid by them 4 times already ...expecting my 5th check this month and plus I earn gift cards there too...so it all adds up. I missed my Mylot time when I was focused so much on one site...so this month I am making sure to spread my time... and still keep up my earnings. thanks for the response and have a great day!!

hi bookermom I havemostly just focussed on mylot and on mysurvey.com as between them I c an make about an average of forty dollars a month and that more than pays for my internet monthly fee.of course I would love to make more but I spend so much time on here and have to socialize here too occasionally. after'all the programs are here for us so we should take advantage of them once in awhile.

I've signed up with several sites but mylot takes most of my time. I just spend most of my time with it. In the meantime, I'm looking for something that will pay a little bit more than what mylot does. I just need something that will supplement my SSI check. Kathy.

Yes, I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you hear of any sites that pay more than mylot does. Thank you in advance. Kathy.

I have a few other sites that do not take me to long so I do them. I though need to start spending more time here on mylot. I will probably have more time because one of the website I do maybe shutting down. But it is up to you whether you spend most of your time on one website.

Its true, you have to do what works out for your self....and for me I lost the variety of my sites when I focused so much on the one site...so this month I am doing all 5 of my sites daily again and getting in more earnings that way!! thanks for the response and have a great day!

It's better to focus on more than one site at a time. You can never know when the site ends up not paying it's users.

It is scary to think that if you focus on only one site and that one goes down then you dont know where else to turn and you may give up all together since you dont know what other sites are about!! thanks for the response and have a great day!

I don't think it really matters. Most of mine do not have enough to keep you busy that long. It sounds as if you did not do too bad. I would do whatever works.

Yeah, I really made the same amount that I would have ...had I seperated my time with all my sites... but I missed the variety of it all. so I am going to try to get in more computer time and focus on like 3 sites and do the maximum if I can...this month!! thanks for the response and have a great day!

I prefer to focus on one thing. I feel you can get more accomplished than if you spread yourself thin trying to do a lot and getting nowhere with all of them.

When it comes to mylot, I think that it pays out better if you focus on it the most. Now I have a few sites, but I focused on mylot last month and though I had carried over unpaid earnings I still did pretty good. I am going to try to match that this month without having to carry it over. Yesterday I was amazed at what I made. I've had time to do all the sites I have, but I won't once I get this job I have lined up for me.

I think it is probably better if you can concentrate more on one site. Although it does depend on the type of site and the type of earnings you receive. By type I mean are the earnings all from what you do now or are they something you can earn residuals from. I for instance have 2 sites that I can earn residuals on and I don't have to actually be doing anything- so those I could put on the back burner. However it took/takes a little effort to get them up to speed so that you can ignore them a bit and concentrate on yet another site. On one site I upload my photos and create items to sell and then earn commission when they do. This is my favorite site. But I did put a bit of effort into it about 2 1/2 years ago- (and I really should put a bit more into it to maximize my earnings) But I earn all the time from here and I'm usually sleeping when it happens. :) The other site, which I neglected and am now realizing my mistake- is a little harder for me because I have to get referrals -However since the site benefits people it is not really all that hard to do. But since I am seeing that people who joined approximately the same time I did have now earned over $3000 and I am at $30 I am a little bummed for not having pursued this earlier. :( This site saves you money when you shop online at ebay and hundreds of major retailers. It's free to join.. so it is usual not to hard to show people they can benefit by using it. as a referrer you earn money not only as cash back when you shop (in addition to the great deals and coupon codes they offer) But you earn whenever any of your referrals shop- If you are a crumbearner- that is 5 levels deep. So this is the site I am concentrating on now.. Although I do use other sites for some extra cash.. Mylot for example and of course the easiest cash- Youdata. not much but it all adds up. And I get surveys from Pinecone Research -they pay $3 a survey and I get an average of 2-3 a month. What do you do at squishy cash to earn? Money and gift cards sounds interesting.

I try to focus on more than one site at the time - I believe it is better to have several ships in the water incase one goes down.

Oh my gosh you are so right!! I agree with that statement...plus you lose the variety when you focus on only one site... so this month I am making sure to get in all 5 of my sites and even looking to add to them!! thanks for the response and have a great day!

I really cant answer this well because I have only ever done anywork at mylot.However if I listen to what you say it would seem that it is better you focus on many other sites .In addition when I think about mylot is paying then I would suggest that you try to spread yourself over several sites

Plus when you only focus on one site you can become bored with it faster....since you lose the variety of the other sites as well. thanks for the response and have a great day!

I think its better to focus on site first. If you have made steady income from the one site and at some point, you can leave it all alone to generate profit, then only can you move your focus to other sites. As for mylot, there is no time to focus on other things. Its better to focus on mylot. There are also forums that rewards points for threads and some pay $5 for 100 points earned. Try to look for those forums.

I go in a bit of a rotation - sometimes I might focus on one site more than others, other times i might split my time equally between several sites. I've never really tried to focus on one site because I'd get bored. I already work a lot offline, so I try to vary my online earning. I have to admit that the months where I do a lot of writing are nice for my paypal account.

I would suggest to test a variety of programs all at once and then let them reveal to you which one(s) to focus on the most. Whichever one generates the quickest and best re$ults, make that one your baby and focus the majority of your attention on it. At the same time still give some attention to your 2nd and 3rd place opportunities as you go. They just might surprise you and surpass your 1st place opportunity! But until then your baby is the the 1st place cash generator and all the others are just sidekicks

I don't that is a good idea. Because as far as my opinion is concern it is better to have 10 sites to focus that really pays. This will increase earnings because those other sites is a back up...have a nice day!

i think maybe it's better to focus on several reliable sites. such as mylot, neobux, etc. if only one, maybe is not enough. but if u have not enouth time, then u can choose the best one u think is to focus on. i find there are too much scams after these months experiment.

First of all, we must agree that there are more bogus sites than real ones. This should be one of your concerns. If you find 3 or 4 real and honest sites, it would be better to maintain them than having to concentrate on just one honest site. Regardless of a high or low payout sites, it all boils down to earnings.
