Hi MyLotters,
Many of us have spent so many months / years here. And during this period I am sure you would have made many great friends, participated in many great discussions and also got into many exciting arguments on MyLot.
Do you still remember remember your first day at MyLot? What were your expectations before the start and what were your views at the end of the First Day?
I would be happy to know more.... Please share.
Regards,
theSids.

No I do not! It was a while ago but It seems like a lifetime ago! I'm a totally differernt person. When I came here I was a shy and reserved. Now? now I'm open. I have made many friends here. And I got to talk about so many topics I would never get to offline!

Hi Sender,
I must admit from my heart that you are an honest person. You were just like me the first day - unsure and hesitant on what to do... And then when it started, I feel addicted to the family here.
I have tried my best to be around on mylot everyday but has not been possible. But yes, when I am away, my heart yearns to be back soon.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Cheers,

What I remember here in Mylot during my first few weeks, I was not that into pushing myself accomplishing things. I start a discussion and I respond or comment to other members discussion when given the chance to do so. I was then have a full time job in a Law Office which I spare much time doing legal research and studying our client's case. I consider Mylot then as a stress release. When I reached my payout and able to receive it, wow! That changed my impression that this site really pays. I was then more productive and able to achieve my second payout in a lesser time and posts to finish. I was able to discover how to earn faster in a lesser time spent.
Of course, I have made friends and few of those friends are also my friends on different site. It is amazing feeling when you see them because you recall them and made chat with them

Hi maean,
Yes, I understand that being occupied with work that eats your brains on a regular basis doesnt leave you fit for many other things and writing down again for participating in discussions doesnt gel around perfectly. But as you mention, it just takes a small incentive / pat at the back for us to realize that we can do some more.
I wish if many of my friends on MyLot were my friends in real life too. It would have been a great feeling to meet them.
Thank you for sharing your initial experiences with MyLot.
Cheers,

Hi dear,
Exactly speaking, I don’t remember the day I started with myLot. Even I don’t know how I got connected or how I got the chance to register with myLot. No one send any link or anything, but just while surfing on the net, as usual, I got notice and without knowing anything, I just registered and I don’t even know what it was and why I registered also.
Once it got done, the pages appeared and as I didn’t understood what is what, I just typed in the column some ‘wioruoeiuroiewr945809ueoirs’ characters and left the site and moved out of it.
In the next day, I got a notification from myLot saying that ‘if this is the way you are doing, your account will be cancelled. .........these all the way to work on it and if you need more info, check on FAQs etc.
Mean time, just for a trial, I added one person from myLot seeking for friendship, it was jaas88....., and she accepted the friendship. I asked for a briefing about myLot, and as she was online at that time, immediately she send a quick idea about it.
That day I tried few more friend request and commented on few interested queries also. Next day, again I got response from myLot and new others also commented. Slowly I got the track of it and I reached upto here along with you also as one of my best friend from myLot.
As I am not much interested any of the community sites, I was not fully aware that such things all are happening around. But now it is a great time killer and feel nice on this site, as we get responses. Others sites are just running and not so touching like myLot.
Have a nice day (I am not in office for 4 days) and your responses and comments won’t come to me as my accessing mail id is different here at home and office).
Regards,
Thank-s

Hi Thanks,
You know what - I consider myself to be lucky. Yes, if mylot had banned you instead of warning you or even never warned you, it might have been that you never got here the second time. That would have deprived me of a good friend.
And the friends at mylot are better than on most other social sites (This is my personal observation) because we share many personal issues too and that adds to the bondings.
Thank you for your valued response. And you are a great friend - you keep doing good things - As you mention you are not in office and despite this you have responded to my thread.
Thanks again,
Cheers,

Well I've joined mylot 5 months ago and I was so naive always asking questions that seem to be irrelevant specially to the old my lotters. I always makes mistakes like and so many times they correct me. But it become challenges for me to be a better mylotter. And at first I really mind the money that I will get upon making comments and raising discussions. But then as time goes by I really enjoyed it. Though sometimes I'm really so busy but then I try to make some time to drop by and interact and socialize with my friends and responding to very interesting topic to discuss like yours.

Hi czanwell,
Good to find a person who thinks similar to me. Even I too asked a lot of questions and stole ideas wrt the Terms and Conditions from seniors here. I am happy that the seniors never objected to this and have always been supportive and understanding. I feel MyLot a more of a family like thing.
like you, I too was thinking about the money factor as my upline friend did mention that I could make some good amount here but over the period of time, now it is not about the Money part, instead, I feel happy to place my viewpoints and get feedbacks from so many people around from different perspectives.
Thank you for appreciating my discussion and posting your experiences with mylot.
Cheers,
theSids.

I remember it was about 5 years ago when I first came across this site. It was still pretty new and you got paid really well and could the $10 payout super fast. It was great at the time because I was basically new online and to earning online so when I found this site I was happy.
I worked it for only a few months until the changes all started and the earnings dropped drastically because I had found other sites that would pay me more for what I do here. Mylot has been a great place for me to try and perfect my online writing and makes it easier for me to blog.
You can also find some good oppritunties and meet some good people here which is a reason I decided to come back this year. Got to say as nice as the people are, the earnings have gotten weak and harder to earn. Not to mention discussions are starting to repeat themselves only in different formats and words over and over again. That's no one's fault this I understand because the site has been around for 5 years and its starting to get old.
I would like to see more ways to earn bigger dollars like blogging or something along those lines and maybe due something with this layout just to freshin it up a bit.

Hi Krizz,
That was great and honest. I appreciate the way you have summarized the experiences here.
You have been here for a long time and during this, all the changes that have happened on this site had to happen to keep it moving along the changes in the web look and feel. As for the payments part, I do understand your point and I believe that this had to happen when the population increases (it is over 2,000,000 now if I am correct). They have limited adverts and I believe the revenue is fixed so dividing that among the people means everyone now gets a lesser share.
As for the Content, during my short association with MyLot, I too feel that the content is getting repetitive and I am sure the backend people are looking into these.
And yes, I must admit, I find the people - the soul and heart of MyLot - to be great and during this short span of time I have made some good friends - tough they are all virtual but I feel good with them around. And it is great that you have come back... That says a lot about the friends you make here
Thanks for sharing your fist / initial experiences
Cheers,

I do remember the first day in mylot. I got into the site seeing my friends blog. At first I was not at all happy with the site as I was not aware of what this site was doing. Then later I got to found that this is the best site of its kind and will help a lot of people helping each other in all things.

Hi Bittu,
That is so similar to my first experience. I was brought to this site by a friend of mine from another social site. I had completely forgotten about the ID that I had created here. It was only after 3 months after creating the account, that I stumbled upon here once again only to find I already existed here. My friend then explained me that this is a different genre of a website and I would love it. Truely, I love it now and more than any site I know of.
Thanks for sharing your first day experiences here.
Cheers,

I don't really remember the first day I am with myLot, but I do remember the first impression that myLot gave me, it look so normal and not outstanding at all, and I never expect it will really pay me. I have not been active for the 1st four months until I see my earning increasing when I am more familiar with myLot.
I am quite happy with myLot today, myLot became my favorite website ever. I even make it my homepage for my Firefox so that when every time I open Firefox, I can straight away go to myLot homepage.

Hi yspmyl,
That is me or very similar to my experience. I started after more than 2 months of registering myself here. I never cared to get into the site for these 2 months as I too believed that this was some scam site and would have my time wasted. But then, good things started happening with me and then I did start here. I think now, it has become a part of my life - something that is very valuable.
And this is my homepage on the browser. Even, I have neglected my blog for this.
Thanks for sharing your experiences yspmyl.
Cheers,

I am still new to the site, just three day older and I am finding this site very interesting, I came over here accidentally, I was referred from a site which was about earning referral, when I came here I found it interesting and from the first log in I started discussion. I made my first discussion and was really very happy to quick two response from seniors and I added them into my friend list and started interaction on site, I have idea of myLot before but I havenot tried it, and now it is going from interest to habit and addiction, for the first day I was online more than 12 hours and now I am online almost all the time, whether working or laying on my bed.
I love to be here because I am getting more knowledge about day to day life, very nice suggestions from different points of views and most important I found seniors very cooperative with newbie, it is just like a family...
