Do you find this behavior reasonable?

Hi there. I feel every little counts. Money is money whether little or lots. Cause when you start earning from scratch, you get ideas on tapping different sources of income. And that's how people become millionaires. I know cents aren't enough...but if you have numerable or innumerable streams to generate income then that adds up to alot. Take a look at mylots itself...you are paid in cents for every move you make...but just glancing at your earnings at the top left corner makes you feel happy at the fact that "Yes! I have earned it!" Working and earning in cents is "at least" much much better than begging on the streets where people look down upon the begger and give charity as if they are doing oodles of favor on him. You have nothing to feel inferior about when you are working and reaping its reward.

YES! Every cent counts when you are trying to make a little extra income. I definitely got excited when I made my first dollar on various sites. Especially when they were for pageviews on things I wrote. On Triond, I have yet to make payout. In fact, it has only reached 31 cents in the past couple of years (yes, years!) This is why I keep giving up on Triond, the traffic is pitiful in comparison to what I am getting on other sites. BTW, I just reread the terms, and for US it says minimum is 50 dollars - not 50 cents. ugh!

Maybe it's not the money so much as it's simply knowing that work that you have done is being recognized. It can be a thrill to have someone tell you that you've done a good job, so when enough people read your work that you actually get paid for it, that can be a thrill, too. Anyway, it can be a start to something bigger. Anything that encourages writers to continue and work harder is acceptable, in my opinion, even if it's only fifty cents.

Although the way I earn online is by accepting happily every cent, I don´t thing that earning 50 cents would be a reason to make an article of it. The people that write that probably have many friends who will view their article. But I think the subject is of a poor quality. I would be happier to see the rising of the sun on a Spring morning or the smile of a child.

I think the author just wants you to sign up for a triond account. I've also read a few articles about that. Triond is another option for you to earn money online but I find it hard to earn there. You have to first build up a foundation before you can earn big money there.

For me, it is a blessing and I would feel very happy. The happiest people are those who take joy even in the smallest things.

It would seem that they are happy with anything that they earn, and to find a site that really pays them. It may be that they want to convince someone that Triond is not a scam as well. I have known people that I have met at MyLot to whom their earnings are very important. Of course I know a discussion that was written like that, but here at MyLot, would be deleted.

I think most of the site with these article are just trying to get you to used their referal link provided. In term of the article, the author obviously tried to exaggerated it to make it look attractive. I post something similar on mylot 4 years ago, and I started to regret my stupidity of doing such things. I think the comment you found on that article was trying to point this out. In term of your question, I wrote a few crappy game guide 4 years ago and quit triond around the same time. It was completely useless, yet generated me fifty cents per 2 months at minimum. I was actually quite happy with it considering its my "extra" incomes earned off the internet, plus I earn those moneys with my own effort. All the work I wrote 4 years ago might be crappy, but because it is something original I am proud of it. With my improved writting skill, and the joy of writting a game guide of my own way, I went back to using triond to make extra incomes again recently =).

It's actually relative. I consider earning online as a bonus. Nobody gets paid for sending emails, nobody gets paid for casual facebooking, or friendstering, etc. But in some sites, it's a different story. You earn a cent, which grows into a dollar, which would grow into a few more dollars, and when actually converted to your own currency, it could be much bigger. A dollar is equivalent to 40 pesos here and with that you can actually buy a meal. Instead of being non productive as you stay idle infront, paid-to sites actually makes you a bit more productive. Yes, it doesn't guarantee a stable monthly income but it's fun as you earn. And besides, 50 cents is actually good, in paid-to standards.

well, i agree that every cent counts. but to be extra happy over a small thing where you know there are other opportunities that offer a tenfold seem not reasonable. we have to be realistic. i mean, why be content with a small earning when you can have more, with the same effort?

There's actually a few good reasons for writing an article about making even a little money on the site. The object is to get page views and the more you get, the more money you make. Writing an article about getting paid will attract readers, especially people just checking out the site. They will want to read about someone finding success and actually getting paid at the site, so that benefits the writer by getting traffic to his article. It will also possibly get him referrals if someone reads the article and then decides to sign up, so it will also benefit the writer that way. One might think that someone wouldn't be that happy about making a mere 50 cents or a dollar on a site like Triond but I would be happy because I know it would be a start. It proves I can do it and would tell me that the method works and I can increase my income by doing more of what made me the first dollar, which is writing articles. When you think about it, writing an article about being happy about getting paid is pretty smart.

Probably they're not happy about the fact of earning such a small sum of money, but happy about the fact that the website is paying them. In online earning, unfortunately there's an awful lot of scam websites, so being payed by at least one is something to be happy about, in my opinion. It's nice that, if they're happy about it, they want to share it with the world.

That depends on people, some people will be happy for a small success, just like what you said, 50 cents can bring so much joy to some people, while other people rather looking for bigger fish. 50 cents for them just not enough, probably over $20 is their goal. It is base on personal preference.

Why not? I did feel happy when I got my first payout in triond which was just more or less a dollar. It feels good to reap what you sowed, no matter how small. People should be happy for the smallest things. Happy people tend to live longer you know. There's no reason why you shouldn't rejoice over small things. Actually, I don't just find the behavior reasonable, I find it correct. I wish everybody would be happy for just the smallest things. Being happy does wonders to the body and to the world around us

Picking up a small coin on the street can give someone a lift,and has been attributed to bringing luck...maybe earning this small amount would be the internet equivalent of that?

hi scheng1 if the fifty c ents took all day and she could have worked part time and been paid even minimum wages yes its ridiculous as we need money to l ive but this is going to extremes.Fourteen dollars an hour for six hours or fifty cents for six hours? which would you take?its really nonsense settling for crums rather than a pay check.
