hi there, myLotters! Im asking this question, because as a newbie, i have this feeling that so many threads are being started.. I mean, i have been in other forum/sites but not like this (its not on the quantity of threads you started but your interaction (postings) that counts, so to speak) So i ask this quesion if are you people starting a thread to earn or simply your just enjoying

I have good times here but sometimes I am just here to reach payout, especially when being close to it. I don't need the money but I do like receiving money, so that's why. I wish mylot was more like a forum where the life of topics are extended. Then I would enjoy mylot more.

I do mylot because it became part of my routine and I am concerned with my friends life and discussion. I love reading every discussion I see here and what I want is the learning I earn here. About the earning it still matters but it is hard to estimate earnings here so I do not look at it anymore. If it increase after a day, I am happy. Sometimes because I do not bother to look at my earnings, I will be very shock when I receive a notification that I am included on the payout for next month. I am really enjoying staying here in Mylot. I am sad when I see a friend’s discussion and I can’t relate to it because I was absent for a day here, I want to be updated with what was happening here because it is like my second home. For me Mylot really matters. That is why I stayed here for more than 3 years.

I don't start my own threads pretty much anymore, unless I really have something to ask/discuss with other friends and etc about. I'm more than happy to answer and comment on friends discussions. I find the joy there and it's definitely due to this joy that I'm sticking it out in myLot. The interaction, and the earnings are secondary. A nice bonus, but not as important as friends here.

Well, my friend. My country, Bangladesh isn't the list of PayPal, the payment processor of myLot. Therefore I won't be able to payout until it's not activated in Bangladesh. But I'm enjoying the starting discussion, posting replies and comments with different myLotters all over the world. I'm loving their company. Have a nice day.

I joined My Lot to make money. Now I do it just because I like it. I like hearing what people from other countries think about things. I have learned a lot of things. From people in my country and others. I don't even know how much money I have earned, it's probably not much as we don't make much here. I have never gotten a payout yet.

The cerebellum is a part of your brain. There is something wrong with mine. It does sound like something out of a science fiction movie but it's not. I am not sure why I picked that as my name. I wished I had chosen something about cats, but it is too late now.

Hallo..at first I heard from friend that can earn money from mylot, then I have another intention, that is to learn English. So after I join Mylot, I feel that earn the money here is quite hard, you have to be very dilligent. but I gain other things here, knowledge improved, english improved, and friendship from all over the world. So I think I just enjoy to be here rather than to earn the money, although everyday I still notice increasement of my earning!!! Happy lunar new year!!!

hello asanlee, part of my wanting to join different forums (and chatting with english speaking people, before) is to acquire the skill of speaking and most importantly, comprehending english language. I feel it'll be more effective learning the language through conversations and posting your ideas like this one.

Hello, A bit belated response but I will give it a go. For myself myLot is good time,sharing opinions and good social environment. I do not think this is profitable place in my point of view./I found another sources for online earnings/. But it is always good to meet variations of people/even virtually/ and exchange thoughts. All the Best! treven

I am on here because I have a good time voicing my opinion, but also because a friend of mine makes money from this, and I am one of her referrals. She introduced me to this a while back, but she has learned that she sure won't grow rich from what I respond to on here. I sure hope I haven't disappointed her!!

love__to__read I mylot for both reasons not just one, I have been here for two years and this give me something good to do with my retirement time and also make a little money to help pay my bills and have some fun to.I enjoy mylotting or I would not do it , and I have learned so much from my friends all over the world. I like to come here and share and care, and at times even help someone else. its fun and its a way to make a little extra money at the same time.

I've made 96 cents after 2 years on MyLot! So it's not because of earnings.

For me neither one of these reasons is the exclusive reason that I choose to mylot. I like the time that I spend on here because it gives me the opportunity to have some form of adult interaction during the day while my husband is at work and I am at home with children (either just my own son or my son and my nieces and sometimes my daughter as well.) However, I also really like the fact that the money that I am able to earn on here does allow me to provide upkeep for my online gaming addiction.

Hi there friend.. The reason why I found mylot on the web is because I'm looking for an online earning opportunity. The first few week of being a mylotter the reason why I stay here is to earn money but as a go along I realized that making money is not that easy here in mylot since we only earn few cents. However, It's really good to be here becuase I can learn a lot of things from other mylotters like you and me. Now I'm just staying here to have a good time since I don't have a lot of time to respond to discussions.

hello earlzhan! i agree with what you have said. we are all here to earn but at some point (especially) those who have been here for quite sometime, stays not bacause of the cents earned but with friends made..

For me I would have to be honest and say I do it for both. I am new to this myself and sometimes can't get to it as much as I would like. I started this cause I wanted to make extra money. I think you have to be on here a lot for that to happen. So far I haven't made much. But I do enjoy the questions and putting in my two cents. A lot of people have great discussions and I haven't tried to be on here all day but one time I would like to try and just see how much I can make it one day. I do like sharing thoughts and seeing how other people feel. There are a lot of awesome people here. By the way I love your disney avatar. I am a major disney nut.

Hello love_to_read, When I just started here, it's more because of the earnings but after a few days, I felt addicted to this site and it's more because of the variety of discussions here. I like the way we communicate here and earnings is longer that important to me. Anyway, I don't earn that much from here too!

Hi welcome to Mylot. I will be quite honest, I did join Mylot to earn money, but really haven't earned much, but made some good on line friends. They are always there for you, when you are feeling down and need to 'unload' sometimes. I don't do much posting as I do have a full time job, but I do like to read all the updates I get on the subjects I am interested in. But please , dear friend, keep on at it, and I am sure you will earn lots. But also enjoy and make friends. Happy mylotting

To tell you frankly, my friend. I am here to make some extra cash. Because I do believe that this is a great help for us having an extra income as the economy today is bad... Well, I enjoy also to share my though and ideas to other members. Because this is how I express myself and get away from any bad thinking or vices as well... This is a good place

Hey love_to_read, You ask why MyLOt? Well, first I MyLOt because I want to earn but I found great people here that responds to my posts. And I would automatically put my hands to work to respond back, it is because of their views similar, even opposing to mine that matters. If you're having a hard time coping up with the threads, try looking for posts you actually have interest in and not just comment on every post you encounter, then you can respond automatically because of your interest, you can then add every person that you are interested as friend so that you can be notified when they start new posts. That way, you can have a great time and earn.
