Admin for a Day: Tasks!

I have not done any tasks yet. Most people have said their work was rejected and were not paid. I have looked @ the tasks and feel many of the subjects I have no knowledge of and I feel like I am writing a portion of someones college paper. I'm not in college anymore and I'm not writing someone's homework IMO.

I would like to ask why linkmaster no longer make task? What happen to him? I'm a good friend of linkmaster. Then the linking task will return? Hope you answer my question regarding the task of linkmaster.

When I first heard of tasks I had a certain idea in my head what the tasks would be. I ended up being extremely disappointed. It was really a great opportunity to get some good discussions going but it turned out to be something pretty useless as far as I'm concerned. I expected tasks to involve giving people certain topics to start a discussion on. Whoever was assigned the subject would write on it. I guess I tend to think like a writer.

I like the Sharon Bucks tasks but they are too easy to miss unless one constantly presses the task bar, as they are gone so quickly, also the time difference often means they are posted at midnight over here which is inconvenient. I think that if one is rated highly on doing these tasks then an individual alert could be sent when they go up. I also have reason to believe that the Sharon Bucks tasks are being unfairly claimed with people using double addresses to do so. I am not interested in any lowly paid tasks but only the Sharon Bucks ones but an individual alert to those whose work is rated would be a great addition.

I tried do some tasks but sadly i stopped doing it immediately, there are people who put referrals on tasks and after signing up, they will just reject your tasks, they will tell you that it is not yet complete, but i am sure i already completed and done what are written on their instructions, at the end i became a looser, they got my referral, they earn from it and i got nothing. Anyway, what i like about tasks is that we can earn extra money on it aside from participating from discussions, i just wish that referral type of tasks will be taken away from that program. That is all and thank you.

I haven't created any task yet but I do some of it. Those tasks are mostly for US so they are so lucky to have to do it all :D I think it would be better if the default page for tasks is the available task so newbies will know that there are more tasks than in the dashboard :D

Thanks a lot for asking Alice.I have done so many tasks and was able to earn nearly 50$ on the month of introduction of the tasks itself.But lately most of the tasks were aimed at the members of USA only.I would like to have more task especially from Sharon Bucks which will enable all us to participate.Tasks is definitely a very good addition to Mylot and members get inspired by it very much.

Do you do the tasks? I have done in the past. Currently there seems to be very few which are worth the trouble. What do you like about them? I enjoyed the writing tasks (by Sharon Bucks). I felt they were reasonably rewarded. What don't you like about them? I am appalled that so many tasks which appear to bend the rules continue to appear. The amounts offered as a reward for many of them are just not worth the bother. What would you change? I would make it so that ALL tasks had to be approved before they were posted and also there should be an Ombudsman available (as a last resort) to settle disputes between the workers and the Task Owners. I haven't experienced it myself but I have heard that some Task Owners have been very slow about approving tasks and have not responded to communications. There should be a mechanism in place to deal with that. Have you created your own task? No. I have played briefly with the Task Setting interface but that is all. If so, was it easy to do or did you have trouble? I didn't find it particularly difficult to understand but then I didn't have a task to set, either as an exercise or in reality. What can we do to make the task system and task pages even better? I do not see the need for both 'Available Tasks Expiring soon' and 'Available Tasks'. If all available tasks were listed on one (or more) pages it should answer most people's needs. I have to confess that, until I looked just now, I didn't realise that the small grey (and orange) lettering at the top was a sort facility! The format of the task page would be much clearer if it were tabular (with headings that would sort on that column). A fair example of something of that nature would be the list of titles in an Amazon Seller's Account Suggested headings: Created by; Category; Brief description (& tags); Date Created; Expires in; No. Avail; Total Tasks; Time allotted; Reward It's worth mentioning an apparent bug (but it may be a 'feature') in the reporting system in Tasks. When one reports a task (which can only be done by opening the task) and sends the report, the page returns to the Available Tasks page, not to the Task.

I don't like them and I don't do them. I guess there are some people actually making some money on them, but I honestly don't have time to waste to do 4 long or 6 short paragraphs about something I don't know anything about and have no interest in researching. I'm guessing that "Sharonbucks" is going to turn around and sell this production to someone else some how for more money and I'm glad she can do so, but its not for me. The only thing I see as a bigger waste of time is the quizzes, since that takes you away (or at least it used to) from the mylot site and for my poor old slow computer, it was too hard to get back again. I take those same quizzes on other sites that my computer seems to handle better - and I mostly don't do that either since I can't tell if I'm going to be payed or not taking them here. I've started on next years first Christmas present and haven't even been on here as much as I might like, but I like to get started when I start so I don't lose momentum.

I think tasks are a good addition to Mylot. I would actually be looking forward to one feature in tasks. I should be able to receive an alert if a particular task master has added an task. For e.g. suppose I like Sharon Bucks' task, I should be able to subscribe to alerts for her task and know whenever she posts a task. Cheers! Ram

I did the tasks when they were pay for writing but not the sign up garbage. I like them for the better money they make me but they weren't always clear on what they wanted or were some times rejected for reasons that made no sense. And while I know some rejections were real others aren't but still are held a persons task record. I haven't created my own because I have no need of it. More real tasks would be great. The task pages are pretty good as is.

I have actually only done one task since I have been with mylot, but I think with the right work, it could be a very great benefit to the members of mylot. There is another site that I work on occasionally where they have very many different types of tasks that you can do, they are very much like a microworker type of deal to a certain degree and the pay for these things varies tremendously from penny tasks to tasks that pay a very fair amount of money, but the pay does very with the time and effort that they take to complete. For example, in that situation the penny tasks take significantly less than a minute to complete for the most part while some of the higher paying tasks take over an hour to properly complete. My honest opinion on tasks here at this point in time, they should be taken down and there should be a complete overhaul of the entire system to ensure that more people are able to come in and make legitimate tasks and that there are less scammer tasks that people fall prey to.

Good Morning!! Do you do the task? No,Till now i have not done so far. But i have not understood what should be done in Task? Have a nice day

Hi. I would have wanted to submit a task if it weren't for the prospect of having to transfer ten dollars of my funds into the tasks balance. I've reached that amount, but if I were to submit it into the tasks area, I wouldn't be able to reach payout. Preferrably we could post tasks and fund it according to the number of people who would sign up for it instead.

No, I haven't done the tasks. I'm not really search what they are for. Hehehe. I'm just being honest with you. I think they can be good to make some extra money on here. We'll have to see what other people say because I cannot recommend changes as I don't use the feature at all, sorry.

Tasks are most loved feature for me on mylot. I made most of my earnings from completing the tasks. When mylot allowed users to post their own tasks I did posted few. Now I have a complaint that : 1. The minimum amount to add in funds should be reduced from $10 to $2-5 2. When we post the task they first go for approval then listed This is because some of my tasks were made expired and same topic/tagged tasks were running. This resulting in balance in my funds stayed as it is. I added $18 for tasks creation And I still have $10.99 balance there. 3. I want to withdraw my funds balance please make some arrangements.

Hello Alice! I think that the task should be automatically approved after a certain period of time. I notices some of my task where never approved and are just there pending... Also the money amount limit. Some want to pay only 02 cents for a complicated sign up. To make things a little more fair for all the price should increase to 0.10 at least.

I have done quite a few tasks and is happy with the earnings. I would be happy if the tasks can be segregated under different categories. it will be easier for those who are particularly looking for such tasks to have them under one heading. it will also be easier to search.

This is more of a question than a suggestion really, although if it is not currently available then I would like to add it as a suggestion. I was banned from doing a particular task (after submitting quite a few and not getting any feedback before the task creator started a new batch of tasks), because the task creator said that I was not reading and following the instructions properly. Finally after some back and forth interaction and having several tasks returned to be re-done, we figured out what the issue was (a default setting that I was never asked to change before completing the task), and the rest of my tasks were approved. This person has not created any tasks since the issue was resolved and my tasks were finally approved, but I was wondering whether or not the task creator has the power to re-instate my ability to do a certain task once they have banned me from doing them. If not, then I think they should be able to do so if it was just a misunderstanding, as it was in this case.

I like the tasks alright, but there don't seem to be very many and a majority of them are sign-up to somewhere in order to earn this much. I've done a few just to incress my earnings because I really need the money. I haven't started any tasks because I don't have money to start them with, and I don't want to take it out of my earnings eaither. Believe it or not, the little I've made here last month will probably go into my bank account once I recieve the payment. Depending on how things go. Though sometimes I wish the tasks were easier to find. like broken down into searchable catagories instead of scattered about all over the place.
