I'm interested in starting a few tasks here on myLot. What are some of the tasks that you've started and did you find it an effective way to get things done? Basically I'm asking what are the pros and cons of using the tasks?

I have only done the writing tasks that are offered. They work well for me and I was paid very quickly for them. I am curious about doing more tasks but a lot of them seem to be very low payouts. I look at the options often and try to pick up the writing ones. How about blogging? Do you make money from blogging on here?

While I have just recently started a blog I haven't gotten into the blogging section yet. Would you say that this is a good way to earn some extra cents? I did look into a bit and had my blog pending for a few days so I decided to take it back down. Maybe I did something wrong with the HTML.

I have not started a blog at this point. I am still trying to explore the different ways to earn on this site and have had a hard time understanding if you can make money with one.

Yeah, I'm not positive on how much you will get payed, or what it is based on. Perhaps I will start a discussion for it and see what I can find out.

Hi e_mendo2 and welcome to myLot. I have done several of the Sharon Bucks and I do like those as they are associated with myLot. I have tried some of the easy other ones, and those are created by myLot members. To date I have had no issues with any of them as they all have been approved. I have heard by other members that some of the member tasks sometimes do not get approved. So it may be a chance you take with them. But you can be assured to be compensated by the Sharon Bucks. Also if you search the myLot toolbar, you will find other members discussing the member tasks, from what I understand some of them are violations and there are probability of them being deleted and if you have been compensated for earnings you may end up loosing the earnings. I hope this helps and I wish you a success with myLot.

Hey hardworkinggurl, thanks for the welcome and for the information on the tasks section. So far I've done only one that made a penny. A few others I have looked into but they require you to join a blogsite or another website so that you can comment on the task payers work. I hope to find a few good ones on there and I will definitely try out the Sharon Bucks. Thanks again!

Hello e_mendo2, I have done only 4 very small and simple tasks at myLot when I joined. I stopped to do them when the last, a 5 cents task, got a "pending status" that lasted... 9 months ! All were paid, but waiting 9 months for 5 cents is too much for me. For what I read the Sharon Bucks tasks are coming from myLot and good -- it does not mean that your task can't be rejected --. For the others, you can find a scammer giving a task at myLot : the "pending method" is a very good way to not pay for a job done without rejecting your job. Have a nice day.

Hey topffer, 9 months for 5 cents!! That's a rediculous amount of time to have to wait, but since it was a small task and a small amount of money I wouldn't be to upset over it. Thanks a lot for the information on the task area.

But if the amount had been more important ? What is not good -- I am not saying "ridiculous". 9 months for 5 cents is ridiculous (I hope it is a record ), but many users are complaining about "pending", so : "not good" -- is that there is no maximum delay for a task to be "pending". At microworkers, by example, a task is automatically approved after 7 days if the owner has not approved it before. I forgot to say you "Welcome to myLot !" Task done [em].

Thanks for the welcome! It would be nice for the tasks on here to have a limit on pending, who knows, maybe in future updates.
