A Couple of Dollars Short

Didn't reach minimum payout this month, came up a bit short. The past few days I've been trying hard to reach the minimum payout but I guess the spare time isn't enough anymore. I have been busy the past few days killing pests here, squashing bugs there, basically dealing with scums recently. The best thing I've ever encountered this January is my girl's surprise visit last week.
Everything else can be summed up to one big beating. The interruptions caused me to miss the minimum payout this month but it's not like I haven't missed it before, I can deal with it. It's just that it'd be great to get paid again this February 15.
And now I'm slacking off because I'm sure I'll be reaching the minimum payout next month. Are you also like this? When you don't reach the minimum payout this month, but is sure you are gonna reach it next month, you start to get lazy?

You sure that when earnings update later you will still be below it?
I don't watch my earnings. If I reach it, fine. If I don't, fine just the same - but I ususally do. Except for two months last year and one the year before when I had family problems to deal with offline and couldn't be here, I reached it every month without trying to.
Do you use the search too? That would add extra to your earnings throughout the month.

I wouldn't be able to earn $3.00 overnight by any chance, can I?
I don't use the search bar that much, I guess I'm just not lucky using it. I haven't earned a single cent with it.

'A couple of dollars' is only two - not three 
Then there will be the adjustments that take place from time to time too so it might increase more than you could have possibly ever imagined

Hello Visions,
YOu know that's alright because it happened to me too..teh first time it happened when I was just a newbie here. accidentally changed the pay out setting which set me back to the following month. and then those times where my PC crash, took me months and times where we had that 2010 elections which i believed was very brutal debates end on.
don't worry you will get paid on March 15th. as long as you can get paid that's fine.

@letranknight
I'm not really worrying about not getting paid here. I'm worrying about getting lazy next month. I should be working this out every month but considering I have nearly $10.00 won't give me enough motivation to work it next month. You definitely had a lot of side tracks before. Good thing you're now already back on your feet.
@captAlbertwhisker
Was it $50.00 back then? That's pretty brutal..

The 50 dollar minimum payout is the number reason I deleted my old account T_T
Now I feel much better because i dont need to pressure my self and i can gain payout in few days without effort. I'm just chilled and relaxed now. No more worries of missing a cent or dollar.

Because I had a lot of interruptions at the first of the month, I did not think I would make payout this month at all. I surprised myself. I am being much more social here and it was very helpful. When I do not make payout in a month I usually get busier the next month and try to make double. I do not do tasks either, I feel I can earn more other places and not put a lot of time into tasks. I search at another website and earn, since the search does not pay for me very often.

When I check my earnings history, I earned for the first time on November 13, 2006. There are other people who were here, then left who joined sooner. The first month that statistics show for MyLot is May of 2006.

Oh. It does get boring here, right? Although I've thought of taking a break from here but couldn't get myself to stay away the third day.

Well, at least you reached minimum payout. How long have you been here, though? Seems you're one of the veteran users here looking at your ratings.

I knew I wasn't going to reach the minimum payout this month because I only started posting again this week. Over the last two or three years, I only posted a few times a month so I think I was lucky to be at around $1. I almost doubled my balance since I started posting again almost a week ago. Now I am starting to get into the groove of responding to messages again and hope that I can start making something on a regular basis. Even if it takes two months, I will be happy to see something coming in. The first payout I got took about a month and 500 posts and the second took about 2-3 months and another 300 posts. I hope that this next one will take less than the other two. Have a great day!!!

In one way, I have already done that. I just didn't start back up until about the 26th or so which meant I didn't have much time to get much done last month. I'm sure if I keep up at the rate I have been at for the last three or four days, that I won't have a problem making payout next month. I have been making at least .25 each day and I think it has been as much as .38 yesterday. I started out last month with about $1 and in January I made .92 most of which was in the last three days or so. I think I have done at least 30 responses today and probably much more because I have gone back in and responded to responses. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's pretty mylot-productive. Seeing I earned somewhere near 0.30 and above makes me feel contented already.

There are users here who set goal as to how many posts they'll do in a day. Maybe you should try that and see how it works for you.

You know what is worst. There is a time where I didn't reached payout because i was 1 cent short, yes that freaking happened to me. But at least when i cashed out I received large money. But its frustrating to miss a payout. But there are times I can reached in 4 times in a month. depends on my activity, ever since my promotion I became less active.

I am at the opposite end from you , I have only earned around $2 and would make a real effort this month to reach my first payout in the next month. I am new here but my friend is guiding me and will make something noticeable from this month.

atleast you reach the point where you know you will reach payout hahaha. i myself am far from payout time..lol i have been kinda slacking lately because i am kinda picky with the topics.. :)) unless i go responding all topics i could see plus i am not a starter myself..there were few topics i started... because its either it had been started before or it would be boring and no one would respond..so i just do responding. it gets more fun.

Most of the time when I start a discussion, it's either I'm venting out or I'm just curious as to how everybody would react to a topic that came to mind. Mostly, though, I rather respond to a discussion.

Hi frontvisions,
Lazy?
I think I am not lazy and on the contrary I think I speed up working to reach the payout.
But you did have a (consolation) better one - your gf visited you and that was enough for the month... but on other thoughts... that would have been a high on your pocket
and also I can understand the reason of laziness here - you want the time to pass slow here so that you can feel the time with your gf... hey buddy the Valentines Day is nearing

Good day frontvisions101,
Sorry to hear about you not reaching the minimum payout for this month.As you have said you fell short for the required quota for monthly payout.Well sometimes due to circumstances we can not attain our goals but there's always next time, anyway next month is sure already.

True, FrontVisions, i'm exactly like that.
My boyfriend who i'm referral to, reached his first payment from here without much writing. But my own writing here got me addicted to the website for few months and i reached few minimums to the moment. And now, when he reached his first minimum, i couldn't reach mine. I'm sure that in February i'll finish it, but i was planning to move out of here for a while, because i need more money and have to concentrate somewhere, where i'll be able to do them. Unfortunately, when i reach my minimum i'll keep posting and will start doing some money for my next minimum payment, so that's what i call Mylot circle Even if we move ahead, here always will have some little amount which will motivate us to move on for the next payment.

I know, right? Gets you lazy after being worried about the deadline.
I guess I'll just sleep it off, too much time in my hands now, managed to stretch in a few slack-off days.

If i have to be honest, i have whole PERIOD in my life, when i thought that i have much time for doing something. That didn't worked good for me, the laziness, calmness and so on are not typical for me and i lost so many rewards from the fate and lucky moments to earn much more than now, so soon i reminded myself the thought "Don't stay the work, which has to be done today, for tomorrow".
I better use the time, because it's flying too fast and at the end of February, you can make double than minimum payment with more activity, who knows

I know the feeling, last month being december to get pay out on January 15, I was just short, I mean literally pennies. But I did not push myself in january, in fact there were days that I just did not sign on at all, let alone respond to any posts or topics. I will be paid in February, and I am going to push myself hard this month so I can get paid in March as well. I am already almost $2 in towards that goal. 100 posts a day should do it. I will have the time tomorrow and looking like Thursday as well because of the snow coming down.

I have not been payed out yet and I don't care if I get paid this month or next month just as long as i get paid but if I keep getting lazier and lazier one day I will just post a bunch and I become more active. But you reach minimum payment each month? thats nice, I don't see my self getting payout any time soon because I have a lot of home work and I need to raise my grades.

I have only been paid once through this. But that is because for awhile I thought that how much time you spend on here may not be worth the payouts. But since I figure I have nothing better to do with my time then a payout every once in a while is better than nothing. I have a busy household so I figure I can reach payout about every two months or so. I hope I can keep up with this.

Well, if you think about it, yeah, it doesn't seem to be that worth it. I mean if you're cashing out $10.00 every month, it's like working 2 hours a day, 2 days a week at a Mcdonald's here.

Sometimes if we have a certain thing to reach some situation coming in between that for sure affected our goal. It that case we should be aware and prepare.. Anyway if it is still short no problem still not loss from you... for the next payment. see you around

That only means I'll be slacking off next month because I know I only need so much to reach the minimum payout. I guess I'll just try to schedule myself.
