Woo! I feel like I'm so mentally and physically exhausted. I just wrote four articles for SharonBucks, and it wasn't that easy. I just took whatever I could find so that I could make any amount of money. The topics weren't that interesting, but hey, that's what you do for money sometimes. The ones I had to do were about electronics mostly. They were about different projectors that people use in home theaters or in conference rooms. I had to do a little research beforehand because I had absolutely no clue about these things, but now I know the difference between DLP and LCD technology!
How about you guys? Did you find that it's hard to get approved by her by the way?

I was a fan of Sharon Bucks when her tasks were available during day time. I only see them now which is around 8 p.m. and at this time I am dog tired. She gives only 10 hours actually 9 hours and those hours are for me sleeping hours. I accept them but too tired to do them.

Ugh I totally understand what you mean. I usually find that they're open during the afternoon from where I love, but I just checked about an hour ago for tasks and she updated them, so I took two! It's really weird and random how she does it.

That's right allknowing. For Indians SharonBucks' tasks are somewhat not so convenient. It becomes perpetual night shift working as happens in some software companies or medical transcription business. At times the 10 hours time is short for more than two tasks as we have to do lot of searching for info. I see from your profile that you made quite a good earning from myLot. How is it possible to earn so much without doing tasks? I wonder if you can suggest some other ways which I can adopt too.

Those earnings were from Sharon Buck's tasks which were available then during day time, probably rejects or not attempted ones. But nowadays they just appear when it is night for us. I have requested Sharon Bucks to atleast give us 12 hours so that we can accept them and do them the next morning. No news yet.

True. No one would like to waste time in that fashion. Getting your work rejected will be definitely depressing. Unfortunately, there is no second chance given nor there are any remarks why the submission was rejected. All the time we have to check ourselves whether we are conforming to the guidelines. Well, it is a little hard work. So keep doing good work and hopefully you will not have any rejections. Have a good day.

Haha yeah I get what you mean. Sometimes to get money, you got to put in a little hard work! Which I totally did, so I hope I get approved. The thing I don't like is that you could get rejected. I could have spent all that time researching and writing and get rejected. I wouldn't even receive anything. It would just make you feel that you wasted your time.

I usually do not find that there are many of the tasks that I can do or that I am interested in. I just went to look at them and the only one that I see on there from Sharonbucks now is one that requires a download and I do not like to download anything into my computer,especially from sites that I know nothing about. I will just keep writing on here and slowly earning my money.

Yeah, the download one over there is probably the only one right now. When she posts writing tasks for people, they usually go out quick. You have to be really fast and lucky to catch it and earn the money.

That's wonderful that you can finished the SharonBucks tasks. As they are worthy well. I am unable to finish these tasks since English is not my first language. So writing English tasks are not suitable for me to finish.
I love China

Haha I see. Well, at least you know some basic English. SharonBucks tasks usually help you improve your English and writing skills, so maybe you should go for it next time!

Yeah I seen those tasks. I am just not in the mood to write all that much. And I am sure what I would have to write could not be that interesting. Did you find that task challenging?

I get what you mean. Sometimes after I write them and there's more to do, I don't usually like doing them anymore.
And yes, the task was pretty darn challenging! It was about projectors, which I knew nothing about. So I really had to do a lot of research to figure out what the heck I was writing about. And the topic that she gave was so broad. For example, one of them was to write about 'Epson LCD Projectors'. I mean, that was basically all the direction plus the keywords. So I had to research a lot to find out about one brand. But I think I did pretty well.

Well congratulations! I thought about doing one but I have three kids so I usually do the task then accept the task and post my info or requirements. When I am on the computer I have to constantly tend to the outside computer world so it takes me forever to get something done sometimes.

That is indeed quite tough for you Amanda. Yet you seem to be an active participant in the discussions on myLot. While doing Sharon's tasks may be difficult you must be doing something else on myLot other than participating in discussions. I for one, find even going through the discussions quite interesting and also a lot informative.

I wrote one article for Sharonbuck today. All slots were taken up within 10minutes. It was about foot reflexology. I did alot of research for that article because i had no idea what it was at the beginning. It is still pending so i don't know whether shes gonna approve or not. Im crossing my finger's and hoping she will. Sharonbuck tasks are very hard for me to do. She usually create task that only people in US can do. I was wondering... How offen does she create task? What time does she usally create them?

Hey! You must be new to the whole SharbonBucks thing and probably myLot, judging from your rating. I know! I usually have to research the topic, and it takes up some time. And you're right about how fast it goes. People usually want the topic. I haven't done SharonBucks for too long, but I see at least one task at least each day. And I'm not sure about the time. You just have to be lucky I guess.

Lol! I just realized I spelled it 'SharbonBucks' and not 'SharonBucks'! Sorry about that.

I like SharonBucks tasks too but I really do not have time to do them these days.
I have completed about two or three tasks some time ago and they were all accepted. Best of all the payment is prompt, it comes without you asking for it. We just has to be careful to follow the instructions so that our work gets accepted.
Have a nice day!

Well that sucks! They're really great things to do, and they're really not that hard. And you're right, the payment is usually prompt. When I submit one, the message stating whether it got accepted or rejected comes the next day.
