i have tried both. doing a task gives more cents. yes, i enjoyed it for some time. but i now prefer involving myself in discussions. i feel like i'm enjoying joining different discussions. i can exercise my mind and learn a lot. for one point, i felt like a robot when i was doing one task. did you have any feelings like this? what do you like most doing here. happy mylotting.

I like posting comments and starting discussions, because I can write about whatever I want. It's a lot more fun and I don't have to think much about it.

that's actually too early for me to react when i was new. so i thought i was going very slow at that time. i tried doing tasks. but at some point, i got disinterested for a while. and i was really busy at my regular work. then i found myself again browsing my mylot account. i even forgot my password and everything about how to use it. so i started it over again. and now, i'm more regularly visiting mylot because i'm finding myself relieved from mind stress.

Hello,
Myself, I hate doing tasks, it's something I have to do in my normal 9 to 5 job.
So reponding to discussions and of course starting a few of my own is much more interesting and enjoyable.
To me, that's the whole beauty of myLot, it's entirely up to you what you do, how you do it, and when you do it.
Enjoy your time here always in myLot land.

Since I work full-time, freelance write on the side, participate in other forums AND do mylot, I personally prefer to simply reply to discussions. I subscribe to a certain number of my mylot friends so that I get an email when they start a new discussion. If I have an answer I will reply on mylot.
The money doesn't add up very fast, but it does add up eventually.

Hi Chiumee
I prefer to do discussions only the tasks to me don't really interest me posting and responding to discusssions gives me the opportunity to mix and mingle with fellow Mylotters from around the world and after all this is a social networking site so thats what I tend to use it for . I sometimes navigate around the site and look at where some of the members come from I do that from time to time or even when before I respond to a posted topic just to see where some people are posting from

I also agree I prefer the posting and interacting with many of the members. From time to time I will do and complete a task but it is not my cup of tea.

it's good to have extra things to do anyways. also, sometimes, i feel brain drained reading and extracting what i have in mind and what i want to say in each discussion. so instead of being idle, stay idle in mind while just following few instructions. still earning more.

I always prefer to posting on discussions. But when I joined mylot before 1 year then I like to do task a lot. But I see there is no benefit for doing task on my rating. So then I started posting on discussions and I feel that my ratings are improved now. So now I am happy. Because posting to discussions is a good way for me and I can earn a lot daily.

I enjoy posting on discussions instead of doing tasks. I find that the taska never seem to work out for me there is always some reason or another I wasn't approved, but on discussions as long as you write a good response you will get paid.

I have tried my hands on doing yaks once. I don't really like it. It's easy money but it's boring. Most of the tasks here are either signing up with a new site or writing of articles. There's nothing new. That's the reason I did not ever go back there again. I'm concentrating more on posting because it's more fun. It gives me a sense of fulfilment when I see mylotters respond to my discussions. I like people whom shares their experiences, bringing life into mylot. There's nothing much to compare between posting and doing task as I cast all my vote into posting.

I prefer posting on discussion because it's easier. Doing tasks is harder since you have to research and surf all over the net and many more. And for me, it's not worth your time. So I prefer more posting in discussions.

I have only done 2 task from when i started here in mylot and after i was never able to check again of new tasks available. I agree with you for i also give opinions and comments to almost all discussions here. I check newly posted discussions on my interest,though i don't really answer them all,i do read the responses by our fellow myloters. It's feels free and fun to join discussions because you can speak your mind and let other people know what you think.

as a matter of fact, it looks to me it's always courteous to jump in to any discussions here. unlike when two people are discussing and you join in suddenly, you would be looked at from top to bottom as if they want to tell you, have you ever been taught by your parents how to be polite. haha. just a thought i got in my mind. thanks for joining. enjoy.

I have never done a task before, I looked through it and it looks a bit confusing. I rather post on discussions because I am communicating, using my mind and actually learn.

like i thought so in the beginning. i didn't like the feeling of being forced to follow a lot of instructions just to get few cents. i just wanted to clear my mind of some stress. afterwhich, i am then relaxed and relieved to feed my mind once more. a lot of things to learn on mylot. thanks to you.

you can find the tasks bar like a menu bar on any mylot page. and you just have to follow the instructions correctly so you can get the approval of the task creator. just don't miss any step on what to do and not to do so that you will not get rejected. have fun and welcome.

I have not been doing tasks for quite some time now. I have already did 7 tasks to date. Well, I prefer responding to discussions. Posting discussions are only when I have questions or interesting stories to share.

actually i am not interested in doing task of any kind, here on mylot. i only enjoy the discussion, responds etc. i dont know whats in my mind but i had opened the task page many times, but everytime i find myself not interested in doing them, whatever may be the reason but i am lazy enough to register or signup at various website.

in the end, you just receive a lot of spam or unknown messages on your email because you have registered in a lot of sites by following these tasks. it fills my inbox so fast. i plan to unsubscribe but i wouldn't know. lol. anyways, i also received some cents from finishing few tasks in the beginning.

i prefer to respond in some discussion because i like to listen or read but not as a thread starter because sometime when we get wrong in our thread ,some people will take all mistake to us and said blablabla,,that what i dont want to happen

zmlucky, don't be afraid to post your thread. on mylot, i consider this as my room of improving my english a little bit more. i'm kind of panicking when i came to work in an arab country that is not well versed in english language. i have to talk the way locals talk. i won't be understood by them if i answer them with the right grammar and intonation. really, i also looked like what you thought you would be when you started a wrong thread. we should be open enough to learn, correct someone, and be corrected as well here on mylot. thanks and enjoy it here.

I enjoy adding to discussions rather than completing various tasks.
It's just my nature to help, give advice, and share my tidbits of knowledge with others. I'm not into a lot of this PTP type deals anyway since they always seem kind-of spammy or overall worthless in the long-run.

I am brand spanking new here so I am trying to explore both. I've done a task and it was fun but I think posting in discussions is more so because you're getting your opinion out there, you know? Does anyone know how much you get paid for discussions? I've been wondering that actually.
