What is the second motivating factor why people write or discuss things here? Even with personal issues. Why is it easy for people to post or shout their problems online?

In my opinion, a lot of people join Mylot and similar sites because they want to make money, sure. But the people who stay and post for a long time, do it because they feel they can learn here too. So I do not think money is the only reason, or even the most important reason, for a lot of people to post here. It is not for me, that's for sure!

Thanks for your opinion. Some may indeed come here for the few cents that they will earn. But the true value is when you get good feedback from people.

It's hard to say really. No doubt a lot of people come here to make money to start with, but after they've posted here for a while they start to make friends and learn things so the money aspect becomes less important. There are so many forums out there that pay their users absolutely nothing -- myLot is special because it gives all the benefits that other forums offer but also gives the posters a chance to make money, too.

I agree. I learn of mylot from a program I bought online. Mylot was one of their preferred site for additional income. However, you will not get what you need here immediately. But if you love interaction, mylot is definitely the place for it.

Most members here perhaps are motivated because of the money earned, but I think on my part it is not just about the money. In the first place, I entered mylot not because of the money alone. Why? Because the time wasted here will not earn you as much to pay your internet bill. I was motivated to be at Mylot because it is an outlet. I love to write, I love to talk. Mylot is a way to let your opinions be heard and shared. It is way to understand other races' culture and beliefs. Moreover, there are people who freely voice out their problems and seek advice. In a way, you are concerned.
In short,another factor is the enjoyment and fulfillment that you can touch others' life because of the experience you share to them. It is an innate trait of humans to openly seeks help and advise from people who they do not personally know because there is no bias.

Your opinion is much the same with mine. Not only the sharing of experiences, but also the chance of meeting people with sense. Here, I get to post a survey type of question. Some questions I started generated good responses. But some don't actually think of their answer to the question. I even tried posting a question seeking advise from professionals. But would you believe, it gain the least response among my queries. Mylot may not be the proper venue for such questions. It would get better responses if I posted it in the yahoo.groups for specific profession.
Thanks for sharing.

i dont have a second motive my primary motive is to make money. Although i see why some people ask for help and advice online on such sites because no one knows who they are so they wont have people they know judging them or knowing their business

You are right. Being anonymous online does make a writer express more their thoughts.

Is Legitjobsonline a reliable source of income? I have bought a similar program. However, I still find difficulty earning my target of getting 20 dollar in a day.
