The reason I ask is because a some people may consider mylot like a job. I dont consider mylot a job, I mean sure its posible to earn a few bucks but its defintly not enough to call mylot a job, now with that said, yes you can find real jobs online that have solid earning potential but mylot dosent fall in that category for me, its a great fun place to discuss issues and maybe make some pocket change if your really active, so I enjoy mylot more as a hobby.
So how about you what is mylot to you do you consider mylot like an online job or is it just a fun side hobby?

For me, mylot is just a side hobby that makes (or can make) a little bit of money.

I never consider Mylot to be a job. It is my rather hobby with few cents gain.
Even if I am on mylot all day long, I would make enough money to buy a food for my animals...

You couldn't call it a job as it would take hours just to make $1 a day at Mylot so it's certainly not worth giving up your day job. To me it's a hobby and when I reach payout the money really helps. I quite rarely make it to pay out as I get very busy and don't have time to post a lot, and I've never been one of these Mylotters who posts a certain amount of discussions and posts every day without fail.

Hello apples99 me too think that mylot is much more of a hobby site for me than an earning site.Well basically started at mylot to earn some extra income online, but just got too interested in it, and its participations.Well am enjoying my friendship here, as well as all posts and knowledge contents.While doing mylot am feeling like am having some fun, espcially after getting paid from it.Anyways keep it up with your mylot and its participation.Happy mylotting.

yes, you are right! for me is the same, i can not consider mylot like a job, first, because doesnt give me the enough money to consider a salary by mylot; and second, because its a social page and i use it to learn and improve my english, and to know others opinions and could improve myself. as you said, mylot ](for me) doesnt enter in Jobs Categroy, just in Fun or Hobby. have a ncie day! :)

Well, for me, I think it really often depends on what a person is wanting and looking for from this site as well. No, this site will Never pay you like working a 9-5 job will, but at the same time, if you do choose to be active enough in here you can earn some Extra $$ that can help with things you might not have been able to afford to do otherwise. I know for me, anytime I have a little extra coming into Paypal is a definate plus for sure. But with that said if this was only a Hobby I would not still be here as most hobbies I tend to get bored with and give up on, but this is not a job either, so for me, it would seem to be somewhere in between.

for me mylot is a hobby that gives you extra bucks while enjoying the discussions.but if you make it your job im sure you will also make it big here as long as you know the secret on how to maximize your earning potentials here.you can easily make at least 50 bucks a day here if you know how to do it.

It's a Hobby and Opportunity, hahha ^_^
hobby because I'm having fun and can practice my English skills and typing skills,
Opportunity, Because while having fun you can also earn. Little yea but I think it's enough though. ^_^
I can't call it a job because you can't even earn much here. ^_^

Yes sometimes it is a lot of work because we take time out of our daily routines to post here and it can be fun and informative too, but the incentive is not quite the same as a real job, so thats why I cansider it more of a fun hobby instead of like a real online job. thanks for responding.

If I'll be earning more than a thousand dollars in the internet doing similar things like myLot, then I'll consider quitting my current job. But so far, I didn't make at least 5% of of that income. So I think I consider it a hobby this time and hopefully still one in the future.

To me Mylot is just an on the side hobby since I don't make a lot off it.It takes too much time and effort just to make a couple of cents.I'm just participating as a way to earn money towards this book I want to buy online.Since it takes so long to earn here,hope that book will still be in stock by the time I earn enough,but I rather doubt it.

Hi Apples
To me Mylot is not a job it is a Place where I hang out with my Friends, have a chat with them and have laughs and Tears together
Also Mylot has taught me a lot over the past 4 years
Mylot is a wonderful Place to be because your lovely Friends are there for you

You are right that mylot really isn't a job, as you don't make enough in here to pay bills. It is just a fun way to share with others how we feel, and learn at the same time. I have also made frineds in here, and that is great too. Mylot is such a great plact to also learn about other cultures, of which there are many different ones in here. When I first joined here, I wwould come in just for the money, but as time has gone on, it has become secondary, as I don't earn all tht much in here,certainly not enough to make a living at. Sure, over time it all adds up, but to say it is a job, no, I have never figured it to be that, as it is a hobby, and gives me something to do to pass the time. I come in here to share and learn, and make friends, and I have done all that, so it is all good. Hurray for mylot. I hoep to be here for many years to come. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

For me mylot is more of a job. It takes a lot of my time and effort to post and to post well enough. I try to make my posts count because I need to reach at least payout every month. It may not be much money, but it's more money then I thought I'd see given the times. I spend what I consider to be a reasonable amount of time on her posting, replying, and doing what I can. Its been the easist way to make money.

i don't know, apples. but even if you respond day in and day out, you wouldn't make enough to have a comfortable life. probably, with a lot of referrals... but that will take some time... mylot is better for enriching one's self through discussions and learning from those discussion... what you may learn may provide you with a hint on where and how you can make living money from the internet....

I started out trying to consider it a job (I'm pretty new here), but like you said, it's not enough income to be considered as a job. It is nice to be able to post opinions and thoughts and be paid for it, though. I plan on going to Vegas and until then, will just let my account build up. We'll see how much it's at once I decide to cash out and go.

I consider mylot as a hobby and the whatever change i do earn for it save it up for some premium accounts etc.
I don`t think many people take mylot as a job as mylot will not pay you very well too as its just a discussion site where people come to share their thoughts which each other or help people.
