I want to write articles on there. I see most people just do articles for posting and I don't know why, but I feel funny doing that. I guess I see the site as a social forum and not as a place to read articles and comment. That is so strange. I write on other sites, I just cannot get myself to want to write on this one. Any suggestions besides I'm crazy? Does anyone else have a hard time writing Articles on a sight that has been a social site for them. I have never seen articles on here. What if others started posting articles on MyLot? How would you feel? Would you post articles too?

I'm also join with this site, and have try to post 1 article.But I still not focus on this site.Cause they use point system, even the benefit is we can post our referral link on the post.

The point system is okay. You just have to make a lot of points to turn it into cash and it takes forever to make points. It is really slow. 619 points will turn into $10. I only have 18 points so I doubt if I make my $10 anytime soon. They may as well not even pay out with the percentage they are giving back. It takes so much time to make the points.

I started doing Twitter because of Associated Content. They had a contest where they were giving away a Netbook, You had to participate on Twitter for a month and then write about it. That's how I got using it to get more page views. I didn't like it when I first joined, but my computer has been broken and at the repair shop, and I have been using an old borrowed Mac that won't connect to Twitter, and I really miss it.
I am hoping to get my own computer back this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Oh please! There are a gazillion ways, you are just too stubborn to do it. Walk outside and take a look around; there are plenty of things you could write about.

Hi MommaJ! Sorry I am having severe computer issues this week or I would read and comment on your Gather articles. I began Gather in a very casual way, but now I post regular articles on there, The main topics I write about are gardening, cooking, diet, and exercise. There are a lot of moms, so I think your parenting articles would do well. People talk about everything from the news to family stuff to technology to celebrity gossip. It is more informal than a wriying site like AC, but you really can post everything.

My articles on Gather are usually 300-400 words, although I think their suggested length is 150-500 words. Istarted out writing book reviews mostly. There is a big group of readers there, also poets and photographers and those who love freebies. I would suggest you look for groups you are interested in.

I am a member of gather but I rearly use it because of the slow process of getting those points but since you say we can get paid for writing on topics we choose then I think I have to go back an upload some of my articles.
But before I do,it's AnythingArt, do you know how much they pay per articles ?
