Is this site worth my time?

I'm pretty new to myLot, and I have a question. If your goal is to make money, is this site worth spending your time on? Sure, it's probably about as good as other sites like it for making money online, but are those worth it in the long run, either?

It is worth my time but I have no idea whether it is worth yours too. If we are active and stay within the Guidelines so that our posts don't get deleted, payout (and more) is absolutely possible every single month.

I think so. I actually use mylot and several other sites that pay for participation. (Check out my profile for banners) I figure not one of them makes me tons of money every day, but each day I make a little on all of them and it will eventually all add up! Plus you get to meet great people from all over the world! Add to that learning a multitude of other customs and cultures PLUS getting paid for it! You've got a win-win situation! Is it worth it - for me it certainly has been!

In my opinion this site is worth my time because its fun reading other peoples discussions and responding to them aswell, but its also worth it because we get paid for posting... which we don't on other sites like forums that we could spend time on if we wasn't on here.

If your goal is to mae money and you are from the US, this is not the site for you. If you like to read discussions and post responses, th money is a nice little extra, enmphasis on little. If you want to do a little better, try survey sites. Thos pay more, however, don't expect to live off the earnings.

It depends if you're here for the money or for the money and it is your hobby. If you do not like posting responses and creating discussions then it may not be for you but if you do, you should stick by it. I have been here for a month or two and I gave up on a few weeks and I'm back on it and I actually like it now then I did before. All the members around this forum are really nice. Good luck with your final choice, see you around if you do stay.

IF your goal is to make money, this site is not worth spending your time on because you have to be active everyday in order to make money, i like responding to questions, so i thought it would be great to earn money while earning money and that is why i joined this site. YOu have to spend lots of time to earn money and in order to make money, make sure your responses are descriptive and detailed Welcome to MYlot and Good luck

Yeah, of course. Ignoring the money aspect, I'd keep to this site because I like forums and discussions like what comes up in this site, anyway. I was just questioning the money aspect of it. Thanks!

I think this site is worth all that you put into it. If you work it every day and post quality postings you will start to see your earnings go up and then you will feel better about it. But you need to work it consistantly to be able to earn the minimum payout every month. Since you only have a (33) by your name I don't think you are active anymore so I guess you answered your own question by not being here much if at all anymore. I think you gave up too quickly and that's too bad because this really is a wonderful site for making friends as well as making money. I think most people who work this site, their goal is to ultimately make money or they wouldn't be here either even if they say they would. I have read many postings that people say they would still be very active in mylot even if they didn't pay us anything but I don't really believe that because almost every member here is trying to make some money online so what would be the point. It would just take time away from them that they could be doing something else online to earn. Too bad you aren't here much anymore and maybe now that you get this email from mylot telling you someone posted a response to your discussion, you will come back my friend. Cheers and Happy mylotting my friend Chris

Yeah, I was right, you haven't been here for 7 months so maybe this email will be a reminder to you about the site and hopefully you will come back and work the site. Hope to see you soon my friend.

I definitely think that it's worth it. It's not a whole lot of money, but it's more than any other websites are paying me to talk about things that I love. I think that it's fun and the money is a bonus. I've made more here on mylot than on any other online money-making venue I've tried. So stick around for awhile! Earning gets easier when you know the ropes and after your first payout the others seems to go by much quicker.

Worth it because it pays the members and you can be sure that it will never scam you. I have been here for a year and I have to say that they are really a stable site and even if I just spend a few hours here, I do earn extra money which is better than nothing.

Welcome aboard, kate. Is this site worth your time? Many seem to think so. The attraction for many is not just the money, but the conversation and community. There are literally a few thousand interest sections to choose from. If you don't happen to find one that interests you, you can also create your own. The users here are great people and many will be glad to help you out when you need it. I would suggest having a good read of the discussion guidelines and FAQs. A lot of information can be found there and I think you will find them very useful. Most important, have fun.

In my own experience this would not be worth of your time if you intend to make this site as a place for you only to make money. But if you would consider this site as your place for you to relax rather than facebook or other social networking sites this would be worth of your time because they give you and incentives for being part of the sites discussions.

Hi dear, You are right. Worth the time and not just waste the time by looking on the regular people over with other social sites. If work with myLot only people would really estimate what is the difference and how good it could be. Regards, Thank-s

I'd say it's well worth your time, even if it's just $10.00, it's still money for something you normally do for free anyway, so it's worth it, and I've found other websites to earn money from because of MyLot.

It is really a nice site for me. Well, it really does not bother me if they pay me less. After all, conversations here are worth well. ;)

I spend a lot of time here and to me it is not a waste. I make a little money and most importantly I get to chat with friends from all over the world! I have a love of writing and this is the best place for me to put that into practice. So to answer your question, as far as MyLot goes it is worth every minute of my time!

I don't think it is, Gather.com is better. I'm leaving this site as soon as I cash out...

It would fairly much depend on how active you will be. You can never earn much if you are not determined and if you don't try.. This place is a very nice place and i earn even if i don;t have any active referrals..

Hi dear, Now you might have got an approximate idea about how myLot would deal with you. One thing is sure that here it pays and no doubt on this matter as of now. Though it feels so slow in generating the income, an active participation and an excellent downline with quality output and maximum utilisation of the site would make you satisfied. There are different methods and all are so friendly and easily manageable. Now you need to self convinced with your time value and effort would match with your income over here. If you calculate an hourly basis and the income generated over here may comparatively so poor. But your constant effort and maximum utilisation prove how good it is. However, welcome to myLot and I hope you will definitely enjoy the sessions here due to its variety and quality standards. It is not just money side, there are some other area are widely accepted like improvement in language, ideas, subject matter, different people contacts etc. I believe that you will get a satisfactory experience in the coming sessions. Best regards, Thank-s

I doubt that you will make a lot of money here. As people say, it is very time dependant. But if you enjoy this type of site it's worth staying for that, and earning a little in the process. MyLot helps fund some of my ebay purchases.
