Mylot as a Hobby, Fun and Side-Line too.....

Hello Lotters,
A lot of people here had been discussion how the user is treating mylot. some believed that, it's just for fun and a way to communicate with other people through out the world. Expressing their views even though they still want to be "not known" some people believe also that it's a short way of earning money online. therefore, Mylot is also a source of online income, via online "working". people who gets ambitious saying that they're not earning in mylot a lot but others reasoned out, it's just the benefits and if you want to earn more, this site isn't for you "remark:"
Well, for one thing I used to say those things. but I admit mylot has been a major source of income to me. but not because i consider this as a job, No. because I enjoy it here, you do things that make you enjoy social networking and this is it for me.All i have to do is write what i think and learned from others who have the "EXPERIENCES and EXPERTISE"
I like how the site pays, maybe it's not big and enough but I enjoy it here. Only wished my own "family would have seriously consider going to mylot too" express their concerns. i don't even have to respond to their topics if their discussions are as sensitive as the others or intellectually too much for mt to handle...
Now, I regret deeply. I should had a job a long time ago. otherwise i could have save the earnings I got since the time i returned to this site a year ago.
PS: it's really nuts that people still go to social networking sites that doesn't pay, I wish they see the light.

I can see by your earnings you have done very well on MyLot. I have never come close to that level of earning. Do you have referrals, or is that all from your fingers on the keyboard?
Keep up the good work.

Congrats on your success. It is a good balance - yes, if you want to make money on MyLot you have to put some effort into it, and as many have said, that effort can be wrapped up in fun. Likewise, if you do put the effort into it, then there are good consequences and you make some money.

hi letran!
mylot may have different meanings and impact to the daily lives of mylotters as you yourself has pointed out. this can be a site for fun, learning, earning and meeting new friends. this site is also for sharing, participating, and becoming part of the lives of many whom we may one day meet... or not.
yes, it's sad that many has not utilized the site for its potential benefits, especially on the extra income side. instead of many wasting time and effort on other sites, and yet kept whining about the economy and financial crisis... they could do something about it and be part of sites that really pay albeit it's only a few dollars a month. but as you have shown... they do add up well
mylot has been many things for me. aside from the ones above, this site has been instrumental to the emotional therapy that i underwent during rocky stages of a relationship. i've met friends who cheered me up and some made me cry so much more because of their own version of misery and loneliness. some made me laugh. some introduced me to games. and some just simply were there for me as i tried to be there for them too.
then there were two mylot guys i met in person and one of them introduced me to a business that i've been doing for about a year now. that part was unexpected. and i didn't realize how the time went.
i may not be as active as i once were. but i always get back to this site every now and then... for what this site has meant for me during my ups and down moments.
you're such an active poster and earner here. keep it up! cheers!

don't think about the some day yet... think about the friday first. hehe it would be great to meet fellow mylotters. i also didn't plan on coming, as yet i have to organize my schedules and would know by this afternoon if i can make it tomorrow. i'm supposed to travel tomorrow. but i will try my best to squeeze in the mylot do.
i did mention to someone else's discussion that i may be one of the very few who doesn't do fb. hehe although most members of my family has one. i just don't feel like having one.

Hello Myles,
It's same goes with facebook, some actually got to know each other deeper through online games, how ever i never heard of such stories.Yeah, i have shared some of my stories too but not the deep deep once, most specially now that the Eye Ball this friday is coming up.
As for this meeting for real, this is probably first time I might attend even though I am still thinking about it. for how am i going to be active? well, i don't know. some day i may have to give this up.

what you say here is very true... i had been here for more than 5 years and had earned quite a lot from this site... i regret that i had not been as active as before here doing useless stuffs that do not earn me any money... but like you say, i'm not here solely for the money reason alone... but also for the fun, enjoyment and knowledge that i can get from here... for me, this is the best online earning site so far... take care and have a nice day...

Hello Lingli,
I think by not thinking of this as a job actually allows me to earn more than what i already have. mylot has always been the best thing here. I remember being obsessed and solely thinking for money but i got depressed by it and realized that being here isn't about money at all.

I think it goes into phases for me. I have been here 4 years ago and been on and off during those days. In terms of payment, I think they are reliable source of paying sites online. But it needs lots of effort on our part to really earn a good money out of this. You need lots of passion to write and efforts to post every day is really needed here. At some point in time, I lost that spark so I focused on other things online and after sometime earning on other sites I always end up going back to this site for unknown reasons at all. I think that is because I see this site as very interesting site that evolves over time. I think that they are doing good during the past years they have been online. I sincerely hope that I could find my way back again to Mylot to post and participate as I used to be. I think no matter what happened I would always return to this site to relax, enjoy and earn a little along the way.

Hello Rsa101,
That's good to know despite you are occupied with other sites, you were still able to be active in this site for relaxation. there are times you know that I also lost my strength and edge to do mylot. well, it does need a lot of thinking just to post more but i have my limits now since i can't be that creative any more.

hello Letran,
I don't know till now what made me addicted to this site.
Maybe because i can express my feelings and emotions here freely and get advices,comments from other people all around the globe.
Or maybe because this site gives me the opportunity to interact with people of different races and to know their cultures,traditions and make friends with them as well.
So many reasons with different views why each of us (active mylotters)stays and keep coming here (not to mention the earning,it's not enough to raise a family).
One thing i am sure of,it's what you feel...you feel comfortable with this site and you are happy mylotting,then,that's the reason that keeps you "Mylotting".
I love mylot,that's what i feel
I found friends...i found comfort in this site

Hello Jaiho,
This is the only site that i get to talk with other users, the sensible way and not with all the crappy introductions at that.even in facebook now, i have added people that are mylotters but every one yet again seem to be minding their own business, not even bother saying hi how are. except for rberon who is insisting that i should come.
I Love mylot. in my experience, some how i feel that am dragging myself away.

mylot is must just be a hobby, side-line and also learn at the same time.
I consider this,as a job for me since i don't have a job. But, as I see my earning i know it's not really enough for me.Since,I am just using our internet and do this thing as a pastime. Sometimes,I forgot that real job is better that extra income.
And now, I know you earn here not so big but it's still money right?
I just realized that, This stuff is should just be my side-line,hobby,pastime and socialization but not a job.
Being here, you learn and earn.But, really don't consider as a job.

Hello krieysel,
Welcome to mylot and really you're gonna like it here since it's different from any other sites.actually, it's alright if you want to consider this a job but i seriously recommend that you don't become obsessive with earnings and jsut have fun. believe me, things are gonna get well from there

Thanks for this very meaningful post.You are definitely correct.Mylot has given us a lot of things.Things that makes us happy and satisfied.Payments is not that big but learnings that we get and new friends that we met here cannot be paid off by any single cent.We will not be a millionaire here.It will increase our electric bill but the happiness is exclusively or absolutely different.Some of my friends are asking me,why are you staying in that site?you just earn a little amount and your tired?I answered them back with "Do you know the word "happiness and satisfaction?"I also wish that we can attract non mylot people to join the site during the mylot first meet up.

Hello Rberon,
The only difference now is that I am not abusing my pc, no more pc games to add to it's frustration. i will turn it off when ever I am very much tired of it. I know payment is not big here, of course, if they were referrals i could have been more happier but am happy enough i guess.
As for this friends of yours, i feel pity to yours and my friends who don't see the little benefit that they may get from this site.. I am not sure if it's gonna attract non mylotters, for now am still a bit pessimistic about it.

Agreed. Hmm...judging from your income, I reckon you must have a lot of active referrals right? Nah...for me, I just have one referral, lol. The funny thing was that I didn't know how I got that referral. I don't remember posting my referral links in any sites. Hmm...anyway, yea. Mylot is one of the best sites in this industry and we can learn from peoples' experiences, life experiences, which we cannot get from anywhere.

Hello JudgeIronfirst,
Unfortunately, THose where mostly done by ME and referrals weren't even that close to earning a DOLLAR per day, except me. let me explain this, if you are super active and spend almost a day in mylot, you get a chance to earn at least one dollar or almost two dollars.
but surprisingly speaking, there is a lotter here that i know who is earning almost 1.50+ to 3 dollars a day. not that she's a fast typer, but maybe she is. the best earning i could have is one dollar a day, that's it i can't push it.but now, am not earnign that much anymore. i try to bring back the hype.

Hello Mspitot,
Too bad not every one is actually into this thing. and finally when the time comes that they will get interested in this, that's the time the site could have become obsolete. meaning, maybe it's still there how ever, it's not probably paying any more. am taking my opportunity in this, while it last of course.

Stongly agreed!
Some people think that their precious time will be wasted when using myLot.
But they dont know that using myLot can also increase social skills and what more? you can earn here:)
myLot is a good website to join because members are active on responding to posts so because of this you will learn different lessons day by day:)
myLot teach us,help us earn,increase our social skills and relationship with others and most of all give us the freedom to post our very own PRECIOUS comments:)
myLot is also a way of telling your daily story to others:)

Hello Zenkeyu,
I wonder who are those "some people" you were referring to? but I do know am disappointed that my very own family is not entirely interested in this site. how ever, maybe it's better this way since i have told this forum something about them, and probably they may not like it.
