1 cent tasks - Will you do them?

Yah, I share same opinion as you. When people are getting much better in website like microworkers, why would they bother to do those same job in myLot with much less earning. I think most of mylotters does not do any tasks (0.01). I tried to take a initiative in my discussion http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2540622.aspx And the responses I got, was enormous. Everybody said they did those jobs when earning was good. Even some veteran members took part and shared same opinion. As far as I know mylot admin also started similar kind of discussion. Thanks

I have only done a few tasks. I usually prefer to spend my time on discussions instead. I think that is a lot more interesting because I really enjoy online discussions and I think it is fun to talk to people from around the world. I only earned a few cents from some of the tasks, but I didn't really do them for the money. One of the tasks asked us to write a couple of posts on a new discussion forum and as I like discussion forums I decided to do that task despite the low payment. I wouldn't do a task where I only earned one cent unless I was interested in the task or unless I know the the person who created the task and wanted to help him or her. If I did it for the money I would feel that I wasted my time.

I check the tasks once in a while but I find nothing that is of interest or worth the payment. It's true. Most of the tasks nowadays only pay 1 cent. I would rather join discussions that are interesting and informative. I wish there were more tasks that pay more.

I probably wouldn't do a 1 cent task! And I totally get you. There aren't that many good tasks anymore, and they are mostly little pay! 1 cent for a task is just way too little. I don't know if you're from America, but I could ask tons of people for 1 cent and they would give it to me. And that's be a low energy thing to do! Just find something that's worth it.

I also noticed the 1 cent tasks and I think it's not worth doing them.Even if they only imply a 'like' on Facebook or to digg a site,it's still a ridiculous amount and Mylot should impose a threshold of at least 5 cents to task creators,otherwise I don't see how people will become more interested in doing tasks on Mylot when they can earn much better from tasks on Microworkers or other sites like that.

Hi, qianyun, yes, that is indeed a little, i guess, many people on mylot prefer to post discussion, and at least for me, i like starting or responding on mylot, not only for fun, but to improve my English...well, have a nice time...

I know one cent doesn't mean anything, but at least it may be easier to earn it rather than posting. In fact I like to finish the tasks here. So I don't really mind the low paid. I hope that Mylot will learn from other websites and offer reasonable paid for the tasks. I love China

Yes, indeed, the payment rates of the tasks vary quite a bit. Some of them pay very low rates, and depending on the interests, some may not be worth spending the time. Once in a while , I would check the available task list, and choose the ones I feel comfortable with, category-wise and payment rate-wise.

hi qianyun6 no not me I can make more by posting and i feel they ask to much in their tasks for one c ent thats insulting.I just go on about responding, commenting and making occasional discussions instead of doing one cent tasks. better earnings and way more fun too.the task starters are being really cheesy and insulting and I bet a lot of other people feel the same way too.

Hi qianyun: Actually I think the same and that's the reason why I stop doing this slow earning tasks. I enjoy the most here participating on the site. And at the same time, making a post it's sometimes faster than doing a whole task. ALVARO

To be honest for me in general, the tasks tend to fly right underneath my radar in a lot of ways. I know that they are there but there are just many times where I decline to think about doing the tasks. Well there have been a few times that I have done then, but there are just a lot of times where it has been out of sight and out of mind in many ways. I am sure that there might be a few gems in there, something that I can easily do to gain me some extra money and help me through life. One cent tasks on the other hand, seem to be a bit of a waste. I can fire off a quick three to four line post in perhaps half of the time and gain a cent. It is all about managing my time in many ways. Making sure that my priorities are not completely skewed in many ways. The best way not to skew said priorities is to really get towards making a better productive way. One cent tasks are just not going to be something that I am worthy of doing. Perhaps there might come a time where I will check out the other tasks.

There are quite a bit of low paying tasks and many times it depends on what the task is. I will do a quick and simple like on facebook as I may have facebook already open in another tab. I do enjoy the Sharon tasks as those are specifically from myLot and tend to pay a lot higher. Some members have actually needed one more cent to make payout so I can understand them doing the task to assure they do reach their goal. But if it is a great deal of effort, no I would not do them for such low paying rate, but I will not say it is not worth it for others as I understand that some members only log in just for tasks.

Hi qianyun6, For me, it depends on the task. I've never done a task here at myLot, every time I checked there was nothing to suit me But on MTurk, for example, there are many 1-cent tasks that take 5-10 seconds to complete and require virtually no concentration, which is my favorite part If the task requires signing up to something, receiving a confirmation e-mail, filling in a profile or something like that, then 1 cent is clearly not worth it. Unless, of course, I was already planning to sign up to whatever the requester wants, and then why not make an extra cent with it?

I'm not so interest in complete any task in mylot.The problem is not cause of 1 cent, 2 cents and so on, I'm just not interest about it at all.So far I have complete only one task with reward 0.03$, but true, it's rather waste my time.

If the task is just to like a FB page and if the page is really worth liking then I'd do otherwise I'd ignore the task. Other than liking an FB page for a cent, I don't normally do tasks that pays that small amount only. I noticed there are few good paying tasks but limited only to US citizens. How sad!

I checked it out once and never went back to have a look. Im not interested by the tasks because it really doesnt pay much and I dont have the time as Im on Mylot only when Im working. So if it gets busy, I close off mylot page.
