Regarding our "myLot",how many of you see this site as a simple hobby or a way to make little extra'money online?Honestly I just enjoy my free time posting here and I forget the fact that I'm getting rewarded for my activity.At the beginning my target was to make some extra few bucks,but in time,i got more concerned about new discussions posted and new things i can learn from here. How about you?What do you press "login" for:money or hobby ?

I think I would say for me myLot has turned more into a hobby than trying to make money. When I think of all the ways I could utilize it to get referrals and this and that by adding links to my profile page I find myself feeling that I must find it to be more of a hobby. MyLot is just one of those things I do when I have a little extra time. Yeah sometimes I get a little bit of cash in exchange but I do not sit there and try to figure out how to make money. I strive for fun and contributing to the community.

your English is very bad I could barely understand, anyway I disagree, I would ANYTIME pick a job as an graphic artist, rather than anything else no matter if the payment is 5 times better, I'm 100% honest !

When I first came here...following a link in an article on helium...my main interest was in earning money but it didn't take long to realize that I enjoyed the site and would continue to visit even if they stopped paying. I don't start a lot or discussions...I like responding to all of the interesting ones I find here.

I joined mylot for money indirectly. What I mean is that I use mylot as one of the sites where I do research for my writing jobs online. I don't answer a lot of posts here, just the ones that catch my eye. I learn a lot from the discussions here which I take to my writing. I also respond to discussions here when I need a break and just want to have fun. I have not reached payout here and probably not in the next few months.

As far as I am concerned, I think I will just log in here for hobby ,which can help me gain a lot of English knowledge. With the time goes by, my account is growing now and then, I can earn money here. I think I enjoy it most among the sites ,which can pay me the money.

I don't press log in I use cookies, and lol I got 1 dollar in 1 week, are you calling that money ? I'm not trying to appear rich, I'm still a student ... but I'm just saying if I spend 2-3 hours on a logo project and make it very well I can earn 100-200 $ comparing that to 1 dollar a week, it's quite obvious I chose to spend my time here as a hobby, I always liked to chat online with people, share ideas ! And this site has no trolls or people that curse, it's perfect for me !!! of course if I gather like 100$ in 100 years, I would pick them up then lol

It is more of a hobby to me. I don't post just to earn but I choose the topic that I'm interested in. It is a good way to express yourself and to learn from other people.

Well, my intial intention was to join mylot for earning money. But now i really enjoy my time here and i love it. Its so cool to earn from mylot at the same time you really enjoy it. Example, i can earn more money from easyhits4u but that is very boring work to do. Just like stupid person surf all the web pages. But in mylot i enjoy my earning. I have so much fun here. I never get bore from mylot but the my main thing is to earn money. If mylot stop paying money then i dont think i will use mylot.

I actually joined this site a few months back just to earn money. But as time passed, I got used to it and it became my hobby. I just loved to see what comments are there in my discussion and other stuff. But later on I became really busy and wasn't able to surf on the net and so couldn't surf mylot as well. And eventually I lost my interest in it. But a few days back, when I was surfing facebook and waiting for my game to load, I was feeling really bored. So, I decided to do mylot. And now again I got my interest back. So, I feel that maybe everyone joins mylot for earning money but as days pass and they keep doing mylot, they get used to it and it becomes their hobby. And now whenever I say someone which is my favourite site, I firstly say facebook and then mylot. And recommend them to join this site as well. Anyways happy mylotting!!!

I think it is a bit of both to be honest with you. Granted, the money aspect is what got the site to my attention. However, the fun that I have had on this website is what kept me here for so long. It has allowed me to post my opinion on many topics. Also, I have learned a fair bit. Really, it is a fun way to waste time. Of course, how much of a waste of time is it, when I am making a bit of spare change on the side? Still the money aspect is really second rate at this point. I figure if I keep posting a certain amount, the money will take care of itself. Right now, I am just posting for the fun of it and it seems to get the required money each month to make the payout. In fact, the best way to describe MyLot for me is a hobby that just happens to make me some money.

Hi, I see this as a hobby and I enjoy posting discussions in here as well as answering to the responses on my discussion. I find it really fun. I think if all you think of is earning you will not enjoy doing this because it would seem like a job you don't like but do it anyway.

I think Mylot has been both for me. It really started out as a way for me to make extra money but now I just post here and there and see it as more of a hobby. If I were earning more here I might consider my time here a "job" but instead, since I'm mostly here now a days to pass time, I'd say it's more of a hobby!

To be perfectly honest, for me, it's a combination of both. I joined mylot solely because I hoped to make money off of it and that's why I spend as much time on it as I do--because we can use the money. On the other hand, the only reason I come back to mylot so often is because it's really quite an enjoyable place. Even the money wouldn't be enough to make me keep coming back to a place that I just wasn't at all interested in. There have been plenty of places like that that I've just outright left because they weren't interesting. So I keep coming to mylot because it's a little extra pocket money as well as the fact that I actually really do enjoy it.

It's both for me. There are days that i want to post to as many discussion as i can so my earnings will increase. There are days also that i'm logged in most of the time and just spend time reading through the discussion without contributing anything. Earning here is a big motivation for me i must admit because i will not spend as much time in this site if it's not rewarding me for it. However, there are times that i forgot about the earnings and still find time to stay on the site just for the fun of it.

He first joined here, my goal is to make money. But now, I prefer hobbies interact with other people here. Because I admit, my English was very poor. And I want to continue to study here.

A little bit of both for myself. I still need to make some pocket money from here, and other websites, at the same time, I can enjoy expressing my opinion here. I can make friends from mylot, even though I can't see them face to face, I learn a lot from all of you here.
