my Peeves

I have to be honest. I am here for the money, but I find this a great way to spend my time earning the money. I love to read and write, so this works for me. This is why I take the time to read the discussions and reply with valuable answers. It's make it much better in my opinion. I believe in the power of giving. This is way to give and receive. We all can work together here. It's not all about the money. If you add value to the conversation you will make the money anyway. You understand what I mean right?

Isn't that just a thorn in the butt? I had it happen to me again today. Someone posted a response on a topic and it made no sense whatsoever. I was a little pissed to say the least because the topic of discussion was one that meant something to me. I just don't give replies like this much attention. Some people just don't get the my Lot concept I suppose or they don't care. Just something for them to do to make a couple extra pennies.

Yes it is. I too don't bother responding back to those nonsense. I just don't give them a positive rating. It's so sad sometimes that some are just here for money and are not even sensitive to the feelings of the person who started the discussion.

I know that, I noticed that when I got busy and started to make comment on peoples topics my earnings increased form a cent or two a week to several a day. But better yet is the things I am learning by interacting with folks.

Exactly. This is what I am saying. Learning to build meaningful and formidable relationships. Giving each other a chance. Actually reading a topic and giving it a thought process. I too have went from a few cents a week to like almost $1 a day. Well, I have been making more than $.50 each day. I had a few days where it was like .70, but my best day so far has been $1.18 which is good. Today is $2 day for sure. I missed yesterday so there are lots of conversations and responses in my inbox. I love this!!

I have to say, as I read this response I remember this being my life! Yikes! I was totally neglecting my kids, by being so involved in the process. Now, I have learned to take things as I get it. I may not be able to do as much as I would like to some days. I started giving myself a schedule. I have certain days that are all about me and what I want to do. That's it. I don't obsess over not being able to complete a task anymore. As long as I'm alive, I'll get a chance to do it. So I just do what I can and enjoy the ride as I do. You know what I mean?

Ahhh I see. I guess the things that gets me is, you have people that will respond to a post, but they are just merely responding without having read it to know what you are talking about so a beneficial response can be made. To me this kind of defeats the purpose. I suspect its because people are so hurried nowadays. "Oh I have to do this" or "I have to do that"...it's get as much done in as little time as possible. I forgot the art of taking the time to do things. I actually read a post before I respond. I may not read all the responses, but I do read the initial post. I may skim the topic if its something that interests me. I have found in just a few days time that reading the posts and giving a reply that is worthy is far more valuable and actually increases my response rate. This made me start taking even more time to read before I respond. Especially with my posts. I read every comment. I respond with my true hearts answer. I think it is better this way. People can really get to know you when you speak from your heart. Don't you think so?

Alberello, I completely understand. This is very far from those who just read the title or maybe a couple lines and think they understand the conversation enough to respond. Your case is completely different. I am sure there are those who come here to help learn the English language. I mean let's be honest, it is a good way to enhance ones skills and learn new words. It is good that you want to help. Isn't that truly what we are here for?

I'm smiling profusely, lol. I think you are probably missing some very juicy conversations. I have been apart of some topics that got deep. I would say probably a little of the fun of this whole thing as well. To me, it has been good to slow down and take the time to read. You know, there are more topics within the conversations if you take the time to read them thoroughly which increases earnings :)

Shameful I already gave someone best response on this topic. I truly like this answer. It just makes sense. I like how you equaled it to allowing the other person to finish speaking. Brilliant! I have taken the time to slow down and read more, and like you I even go through some of the other posts. I have to say, it has made the my Lot experience a lot more interesting and fun for me. I have totally starting making this like a part time job. I find myself having to force closing out and working on something else. If I could make enough to pay my bills here, I would be here all day, :)
