myLot versus other freelance jobs

I have already spent almost half of my time today searching for information about freelance jobs like freelancer.com and oDesk.com but I only found them difficult to mix those jobs with my myLot Career. I only stopped searching when myLot search page winked at me with "We have noticed some suspicious activity for this account. Please try your search again later." box. So do you still have any other online making sites that keep you busy? Or do you have myLot as the ONLY source of extra income online, just like me? Do you really find it manageable to maintain your good earning status at myLot with other online jobs and other sites? Or you really don't bother about it, your myLot Career?

Right now I am not earning much with mylot, but I do not spend too much time on here. Recently several sites have been recommended to me, so if I have any luck w/any of them i will let you know. Currently I do have 2 other sties otehr than mylot I am using and i am only averaging about $1.20 a day right now on those sites....hopefully it picks up!

@thunderstar. that is a good earning and it will be great if combined with mylot. have you been paid there? @shynepapin. we can share the sites here but always remember not to post a referral link. we can only share the name and how the site works. @margz. you really got a very good earnings with several sites. you seem to be enjoying a lot with them.

sorry to say, money is what i need to pay for the house rent, internet and electric bills, not to mention the food we need on the table. i also need to have extra money for the medication of my son.

I only come to the lot from time to time now.. I've been busy with work and spending lots of time on Facebook lately, due to newer games coming up. But once those have subsided a bit, I'll concentrate on a few only and I'll perhaps come to the lot to check up on friends whom I miss interacting.

Very well said Neil. It's good to be here. Though I must say that I'm a fan of both. They are both different in their ways. Friends/interactions here...gaming friends/online friends/friends are there on Facebook. If spend time wisely, can get the best of both.

i still go on to facebook but never spend a lot of time. i don't want to waste time and rather spend those time interacting with friends here.

Hi Neil, I don't class myLot as a job, its somewhere I come to chat with friends and to enjoy it, if I call it a job, then I won't enjoy this site, my earnings is just a bonus if mylot stop paying out I will still be here enjoying it, mylot is the place I have met all my friends and met a few of them and have become a life long friends, I have so much to thank myLot, so to me this is not a job. Hugs. Tamara

i agree with tamara, that there is so much to thank mylot. we all become friends here even with the distance between us. we are able to get into the lives of each other. of course, i can also say that even without the bonus, i will still come back to mylot with friends like the 3 of you. but please consider the financial difficulties i am facing right now. i know mylot helps, friends here coming from distant places offer and extend their blessings to us, for my little angel. but i don't want to depend on them and i should not, but i am deeply gratified. i should be doing something for my son too. offline earnings is not enough and i should be doing some more online.

You are certainly right my friend. You know, I've been through from so many (probable) on-line- business sites. I was so frustrated because I never found a good one for me. It's easier sad than done. On my least capacity I could just write and no other categories. But it was never so easy to just write following their criteria or their system. I concluded that only here on mylot is the only easiest way to write and earn and nothing more.... I surrendered and go on real estate business..in fact i had already a site, a very simple site...http:www.cebuinvestments.net/ .. you can visit and I want your comments and suggestions... Thanks my friend...did you cast your vote already? Mobhomeir here...

so far, i can say that mylot is my number online money making site, my part-time, my second job. we all agree that mylot is slow in earning, but how we earn from here is a lot of fun and worthwhile, compared to other sites. actually, nothing can be compared to this site. i saw your site. you promote the city. but you didn't mention about your service, have you? i think this is the best elections we ever had in terms of counting, but their system of actually voting, or the way voters are accomodated is the worst, so far. can you imagine being in line for 7 hours, just to cast your vote that took only 10 minutes?

I am trying to figure that out too as some people have referred me to feeelance sites to earn more because i am really in need of it. So right now i only do Mylot and Readbud, but i will like to join in on freelance sites but i don't get to understand what the jobd details or what i am suppose to do. What does copywriting job means, what do i do when i get such jobs.

hi neildc nope mylot is my main source of income added to my social security and ssi both of which pretty much go to rent and board each month here at Gold Crest. I do occasional mysurveys at mysurvy.com but have had trouble latley with finishing them i get an odd page that will not let me continue.

i also have mylot as my main source of online income. what i earn here fills the shortage in the budget. i earn from my regular work but most of the time, not enough for the each month's household needs. and with the medication we are undergoing now, i really need to look for more extra income online. i prefer online since i have my own internet connection that i can use anytime i wish.

I don't think of mylot as a money earning venture as it is so unpredictable. My major online money is made through my writing and my blog is more established and getting more regular readers. I do write on Ciao for fun which brings in a fairly decent amount of pocket money. I haven't been on mylot long enough to say that I have a good earning status as I've only hit payout once or twice a year ago. Now I've returned I'll try and see how much work it takes to hit minimum payout!

i can reach the minimum monthly but it is not really sufficient to even pay for the internet bill. i am looking for something that can be added to my earnings here. i have blogsite too but i don't know how to earn from them. if Ciao is another writing site, not similar to mylot, i am afraid i will succeed with it.

I have lots of GPT sites, and mylot is one of my favorites. I don't earn that much here, but that's only because I don't post that much because I'm busy with my real work. But I'm planning to post more here, and I hope there will come a time that I will earn much more. I think it's possible if I would really make an effort to do so. I also realized that doing this for fun makes me earn more.

that is practically the main ingredient for earning a decent income, FUN. even in an offline job, you have to keep the FUN at work so there will be no dull moments. if it's dull offline, go online.

It is not easy to find freelance jobs, sweetie. But don't give up, okay. I only have MYLOT as my fun site, the earning sites are no damn fun at all. No one to entertain me. TATA.
