Do you have an email account set up just for myLot?

I pretty much have mine set up that way. I have my Mylot notificatins sent to my most used email.That way I don't miss an important email while doing Mylot. I have an account set up for my writing and one for business so I don't have everything going to the same one. And I have one for shopping and for my paypal to go to as well. It works nicely for me. I think it just depends on how your head works and what is most convenient for you.

Hi Jen. Yes, this is what I do. When I first got into affiliate marketing online and then started joining traffic exchanges etc a few years back, I set up an inbox.com email address. This I use exclusively for these types of sites and these days it is mostly MyLot notifications. I get some others but mostly they are just from websites that I do not visit anymore and have not gotten around to un-subscribing from. I just delete them. I have a Gmail account which is set up with 4 different email accounts all together in the one inbox. These are for my personal emails, business and my archery club. I also have a yahoo email account but I never access that one. My Gmail account also has some internet marketing stuff go to it as some sites will only let you use a Gmail account when you join them. It is certainly much easier having MyLot emails separated from my personal and work ones. I can get distracted by MyLot notifications coming in, so I do not have that open all the time, just when I have time to do some MyLotting. My Gmail inbox is open all day long though.

like you, i also use my primary email. i find it confusing and complicated to open too many email accounts for different purposes. the down side too about it is forgetting the what email account for what and forgetting the password. so far i'm satisfied with using only one email. in fact, i find it convenient to open only one account and read all my updates there.

Hi JenInTN, I had an account with gmail that I used to keep track of my work on the internet and all income and assignments were easy to manage. I used the same with mylot and it had been good until the day I had 50+ friends... Now it contains more MyLot stuff than anything else.... despite my removing a lot of settings on the preferences page still MyLot keeps that account active... Going by your discussion, I do realize that I have to get myself another soon and either the new goes to MyLot or the older other assignments move to the new one. Thanks for a good discussion as I see it getting implemented soon to allow me easy management

Hi there JenInTN!!! Well I still use my regular email for mylot and other money-making sites.For me it is easier this way coz I don't have to manage multiple email account and I don't have to remember many passwords.I'm just not good in remembering many usernames and passwords and I don't want to login into many accounts when I have to browse my emails. For me it will consume a lot of time if I have many email accounts especially now that I am checking my emails regularly.It is easier for me to have only one email coz for me it is easier to see all my mails.

hi, actually I have separate emails, one personal and the other for all the online work I am doing, those are good thoughts you have because before I joined Mylot, I did not know that we would get a ton of notifications, had I mixed it with my personal email, probably I would find it just a little more difficult to manage.

I have several e mail accounts, but just use my main one for most everything. I do not seem to manage well at all. I am on another site that sends me even more e mail than MyLot and I never get it all read. My husband's primary e mail is linked to mine as well. I have some that I have done some business offers on, but this one bears the brunt of my e mails.

I have 8 , count them 8! email addresses. My Lot is on the one I use most. It is my main one. When I started I wasn't sure I wuld be here This long .Or that I would love being online. But I can see having one Just for My Lot. It makes a lot of sense.

Yes, I do. Or at least I did when I first signed up. I never wanted to use my primary account for mylotting. I share that one with my husband. And as we share it the last thing I wanted was our inbox to be filled with emails from mylot. I didn't want to worry about sifting through emails, especially those from family as I didn't want to miss any accidentally. And I certainly didn't want my husband deleting any of the ones I got from mylot, at least not without me going through them first, as I wanted to be the one to decide what to do with those. So I've always used a separate email account for mylotting. And even though I still use a separate account for mylot, it has also become the email account I use for my other paying and even some of my non paying sites. So I get a lot more stuff than just the usual stuff from mylot (although the majority of it is from mylot). So much so, that it's getting harder and harder to maintain. Guess it's a good thing I've kept a separate email account for such a thing, otherwise I'd really be in trouble! LOL Don't get me wrong, it used to be easy to maintain, but it's not that way anymore! LOL In fact, I have emails from months back that I need to go through...again! I'm half tempted to close my mylot account and start fresh (I don't care much for my username on here anyway), though at the same time I'd hate to start all over as I've been building this one up for the past 4 years. Oh, and before I forget I have a bunch of email addresses too. Most have been forgotten about. Nowadays I only use 4...I think! LOL Happy mylotting!

Dear friend, Not yet, but when I read this I wish to open one exclusively for mylot. Moreover those whole lot of emails from mylot do have to checked and easily sorted out. Thanks for nice idea and nice topic.

i have a different email just for mylot. my friend adviced me to do that before i joined. so i wont get mixed up for mylot do have a lot of notifications. it gives me on the track with personals and sites like mylot and face book. i dont like an email will be packed then ican not read the importats because it was pushed down by friends saying hi on different sites and notifications from mylot. it was a good suggestion and i am glad that i listened.

Good morning, Jen.I do not have a separate e-mail for mylot. U know me i do well to keep up w/just one, lol. I like all my ducks in one row.. Simple is good for me. Have a good one. Did y'all get snow out of the latest storm. So far we haven't , thank heavens.

I have created an email account for topffer when I joined here to exchange mails with other members. I did not knew the PM system here : I prefer to use PMs at myLot and I don't check the "topffer" account every day. The notifications are sent to a regular account : I have created a folder for myLot, and found this solution good since I received two weeks ago the notifications of ten discussions started by a new "friend" in less than one hour. I have now a sub-folder called "Olympics" for my friends marathonians posters at myLot .

i only have 2 different email accounts. I set them both up many years ago but one of them i have not bothered to use in so many years, i dread to think of how many emails i will have in that account by now. I don't think i will check as the emails won't be that important. I never really did think of just creating another email address for things like mylot and other sites to email me, i guess i am happy with them all coming with my other emails, and also it saves me time that way as i am then not having to waste some of my time by signing in and out of different email accounts.

Hi Jen. My partner and I share the business email address which makes it easier for either of us to deal withy what is happening and it is only used for business purposes. My partner does most of the administration stuff anyway even though she discusses it with me first. Both of us have an individual email address for friends and family - what goes to one generally goes to the other anyway,except when one of the children wants to keep something "secret" from one of us ..... like birthday presents or some such thing. Like my partner I also have a separate email address for the survey sites and I also use that oine for myLot. What it means is that when I am really busy like I have been for the past year or so I just check the emails and do what I want to - can read the rest, if I have the time. But when we are extremely busy then it is more important that we deal with the business and personal family/friends stuff than something like a survey or myLot. If I had them all going to the one email address then it could get clogged up very quickly. There have been many times when I have not even had the time to check the email address for surveys or myLot for a month.

Just use one to me thats just easier used to have a couple but was worrysome to me!

No, I don't but I don't have to worry about a flood of notifications as my email will not allow mass emails to come through from any site. In a way it would be nice to get the notifications, but I have to say it is nice not to have my email flooded all the time. I just go in and check what I want to check when I want to check it. If my email was not like it is I think it would be a wise thing to set up another one for mylot.

Well, I use my primary mail for myLot although I have other mails for different businesses. Didn't felt the need to open extra accoutns as I think t's too bothersome. I have a hotmail account which I rarely use unless once in a blue that I sign in Live messenger & an extra gmail account left to rot...erm...collecting spam mails, hahaha!~!~

I have 3 email id`s, one in Yahoo, one in Hotmail and the third in gmail.Yahoo is for my share trading work, hotmail for my friends and gmail for mylot and other things of commercial value.Everyday i access all 3 but spend most of my time in gmail whe i get the mylot discussions.Its better this way and more convenient.

I basically have one email account that I use for all my online business or marketing programs and another separate account for my personal email. I keep them both separate and it's much easier to know what's what. I get far too much email to do it all with one account. My MyLot notifications go to my business email which I sign into every day. I also have a "junk" email account. You know when you want to get something at a site but they want to get your email address in exchange for it? Or you want to sign up for that contest or chance to win a million dollars from the "prize patrol"? You know they are going to send you a million emails, right? So I only give them my junk mail account. I sign in once in a while and just delete most of the junk.
