So far I am unable to make any money from the 'Tasks' section of Mylot! Though I have tried one or two times, it wouldn't work for me! What is the best way to make money through tasks section!
Can we really make some money put of it or it is just wastage of the time?
Please can any experienced members throw some light on this topic? Thanks !

I have made some extra earnings from time to time from the tasks. Granted I am from the US and do have more chances from those that target US members. I have made few cents from other tasks too, but I haven't done many of them.
I was jipped once by a 1cents task, lol but there really was not much of an effort so I did not mind or worry about it. Some members actually only log in to do tasks so apparently some are doing well with them. So all I can say is that you can earn from them and with time you get a feel for which task creator and or tasks to avoid.

Hello Dear hardworkinggurl! How are you? I am happy to know that you are making some earnings from time to time on this site. Yes, people from US have more tasks and they are bit more remunerative than other general tasks!
Oh I see here also there are chances of getting jipped! OK that was good that the amount was very small!
I am really surprised to know that members are logging Mylot just to attempt he tasks! That means the tasks are good remunerative in nature!Perhaps they are the tasks meant for US people only!
Thanks for encouraging that I can make some money from the tasks! yes it is with the time and experience one can learn whom to avid and which type of tasks are to be avoided! Thanks for responding! All the best!

Hello AKRao,
I remember I earned some money from the Tasks section of myLot. This happened in my first months here.
I completed some of SharonBucks's tasks and she did paid me (well, this happened only a few months later, after I complained to the admin about my tasks not being paid).
I also completed some other simple tasks and I always got my money from it.
So I think you can go for myLot tasks if you find them interesting. Me, I haven't visited this section for months! (Maybe I'll go check the myLot tasks right now)

Hello Dear inu! I am happy to know that you earned some money from completing some asks in the first month itself! I heard that sharon Bucks's tasks are nice and they are remunerative, but I never heard that she also hesitates in paying the members completing the work!I am sorry to know that you had to approach admin to get the payment from her!!!!
OK, you are being paid for other smaller tasks too and you suggest me to complete some tasks if I find the interesting! Yes dear friend if I am really getting paid for completing them then why not give a try to it?!!!
I am not getting one point, in spite of such a positive response from the site about the tasks, why you have not attempted any tasks for lat few months? Well it is always, better late than never, so please go to the tasks section and see if some interesting tasks are available! Thanks for responding!!!!

Hi Dear Inu! That is what I wanted to know if the money earned is worth the time we are spending on the site! What are the types of tasks we get here which can be completed with in some short time! !!!
Since time is the main factor, I think it would be bit difficult for me to accomplish these tasks! Instead I love to write some blogs or respond back some discussions or responses!!!!
No dear in, I am not a member of Microworkers! If I am not wrong I think this site is meant for the people from Europe? Thanks for responding! Have a nice time ! Thanks!!!!

I did! I earned 22 cents the other night from the tasks I completed. Well, the offer wasn't too generous but I had a free evening and I had time to complete some simple tasks.
You asked me why I hadn't visited the task section for months? Because I don't have the time. MyLot tasks are worse paid than Microworkers tasks, for instance. So, whenever I have some spare time, I go for some Microworkers tasks instead.
Are you a member of Microworkers?

Hi Rao,
I never tried task so obviously not made any money from it. I have an impression that tasks is not for us (Indians). But I heard that some Indians also make money from it for that we do keep a close watch on the tasks. I am interested to spend my free time in discussion which is easy for me (that I felt).

Most of my earnings are through tasks. These days only sharon bucks has tasks that pay well. But earlier there were many others who posted good tasks. There is no technique as such but just accept the tasks and work on them as per specifications of the task creator.

Good Morning Dear Madam Hatley! !!!How are you? Thanks for remembering my horse!
I fully agree with you dear Hatley, in fact many a times I get confused and I feel that I would waste a lot of time to earn few cents! Like you said I am also not very comfortable in down loading some new soft wares which may leave my computer infected with some virus! Some times because of these soft wares I find that the speed of our computer gets reduced significantly!!!!
So in conclusion I think these tasks are not for me and I am happy with my writing job on Mylot and Blogging on some other sites! Thanks for responding! Have a nice time!!!!

Yes, I have done a few tasks. I wouldn't say it's a waste of time, because most of them require little effort, and do not take much time. For this reason, they also don't pay much. But, that is okay for me, because I do not feel I should earn a large amount for such a small effort.
Although most tasks are only a few cents, they do add up and can greatly increase your earnings if you do quite a few per day.
Most of the members who create tasks do follow through with paying. However, there are always those few who try to cheat you. But please do not be discouraged by this, as it very seldom happens. Also, your not really losing anything but the small amount of time it took to the task.
I hope my response gave you the information you were looking for.

Dear Angelee! Nice to know that you have completed few tasks and you are really happy about it! Yes that would not proper to ask for a high payment to complete some really easy jobs and I appreciate your views!!!!
Yes, Ocean is after all made up of small droplets of the water. similarly small earnings done on regular basis can become a considerable amount at the end of the month! I appreciate your optimistic attitude dear friend!!!!
Thanks for informing about the possible cheaters who may dupe us! But then I think admin will come to our rescue under such circumstances to settle the things right!Thank you very much for your kind response and wish you all the best! Thanks ! !!!

Hey akrao I am new here so i haven't started doing tasks, i seen the task though and they pay a few cents which it's not that bad. Many people here in mylot i'm pretty sure make tasks but it depends where you live too in order to qualify to do some tasks. I don't think it's a waste of time since it's money (few cents) but it's money still. I think we should all give it a try and see how it goes. We should appreciate mylot for also putting a task bar to make some extra cash. :)

Hello Dear Hazelme! Warm Welcome to Mylot! While extending my sincere thanks to you for responding this discussion of mine, I sincerely appreciate that you have visited the tasks site and have noted that the tasks are paid one and we can make some small amount from them!!!!
Yes, I too don't think it would be a waste of time to try this tasks, other wise they shouldn't have been appeared on this site at the first place! In fact what I wanted to know is is it worth trying these tasks as far as the time spending on them is concerned! Or in other words is the money we get by doing tasks worth the time we are spending in completing them!!!!
Yes, we should definitely give a try to these tasks and Mylot is definitely doing a good job by providing us an opportunity to make some extra cents through this!
Again thanks for responding! All the best!!!!

Most of my earnings here are from tasks and so far my total earnings have been US $ 515 of which may be 20% may have come from participation.

Dear Allknowing! How are you? I am happy to know that you are making your earnings mostly by completing the tasks on this site! You have made a quite a good amount and from this if 80% you have earned from doing the tasks means it is a fairly good amount to earn through the tasks! How many hours you spend for the tasks? I am really impressed! Thanks ! All the best!!!!

I only do tasks that involve article writing. Earlier there were many who posted article writing tasks but these days we only have sharon bucks. She pays well. She normally posts them around 9 - 10 p.m. Indian time and at these times I am mostly asleep and even if I were to accept them I would need the whole night to work on them as she gives only 10 hours to finish them. but I do find some spill overs and rejects the next morning which I grab and work on them. There is no fixed time. It all depends on the number of tasks. This month there quite a few.

Hello Dear Whatrow! I am really pleasantly surprised to know that you have made $5 for a single task? Which was the task? Was it a task targeted for citizens from US or Canada! I think this is a good earning and it would have taken a good time to get earn this much of amount just by postings discussions or earnings!!!!
Yes I can understand when you say that you have spend a lot of time to make $3! that is what I said above! Hearty congratulations , you are approaching near your payout soon!!!!
Thanks for responding! wish you Happy Mylotting and have a nice time!!!!

I think it's a waste of time, except if you are a US member, because if you are from US, you can do the Sharon Bucks tasks. Sometimes, I do a few tasks, but only when I get tired of typing.

Hello Dear Moneywinner! You are absolutely right! These Jobs are good when we get tired of typing or we don't feel to participate in any discussions or responses which some times happens for no reason! under such circumstances we can attempt some tasks!!!!
Yes, I know Sharon Buck is a famous paymaster with her tasks on this site but they as you said they are restricted to the US users! so people like me who are non US users these tasks are of no use and hence I need to satisfy my self withe some small tasks! Thanks for responding!!!!

I have completed 2 tasks already. And I got paid for it. I think you should choose the task that is comfortable for you to do. Some task pay immediately and some are subject for review before granting the payment. But one thing for sure, you'll get paid for every completed task. I think those easy task are those that you just have to comment on one article.

Hello Dear Pepperpopper! I am happy to know that you have been paid twice so far for attempting these tasks! In fact last night only I could manage to get my first payment from doing the tasks! It was a small payment of 5 cents, for a small job containing three different articles to read and type the first four words! It was not an hard task for me!!!!
From this I think as you say the payment varies from the task to task and also the time of payment too! Yes, after getting the payment one time I am now confident that I will be paid for my tasks! More over having initiated this discussion I have come across few responses where they have said that they have received the pending payment once they have requested the admin to look after their pending payment!!!!
Thus payment part is not a botheration now! I too think commenting on the articles should be easy task and I will try to complete them initially! Thanks for the response! All the best!!!!

Yes, I've done several tasks and earn up to $1.3+ from there. Not really bad, right?
I am not from US, so I can't take the high-paying tasks. So I can only take tasks that pays 0.01 - 0.05. It is small amount, but if you can take several tasks, then you may reach a dollar .
Is it just wastage of time?
Depends on your view.
With that low earnings, I think those tasks are reasonable enough to do. Like Digg websites or give comment on articles, I think they are not really wasting your time..

Dear Varier! First of all you have got a cute little Cat in your profile! But what she wants to say? I am happy to know that you have made $1.3 from the tasks and I feel this is a good amount! Yes it is an unfortunate thing for the people from other parts of the world as the people from US have got lot many more opportunities to complete the tasks and make good money as tasks with good remunerations are often seen meant for he people from US, Canada and Australia!!!!
Yes by doing small tasks without wasting lot of time on regular basis we can add some earnings to our account, which may be a few dollars at the end of the month and may help usto reach the payout limit bit earlier!!!!
Yes, Commenting on the articles is a straight task and we can attempt those tasks ! In fact I have got paid for doing such task last night only and I have got 5 cents for completing this task! Thanks for responding dear friend!!!!

I was able to make some money from doing tasks, but I don't usually do much because most of the tasks are restricted to certain countries or the task isn't available for my country. But I tend to check the task section every now and then for any new tasks that I might be able to do. Make sure you read the instructions and check out the actual website you need to access before accepting the task. See if you can complete it and do the actual task. If you were able to do it then accept it and submit your information. It can be a waste of time but choose tasks wisely, not every task is easy.

Hello Dear Triple! I appreciate your tips! You are right many tasks are meant for all. We should make ourselves sure that we can really complete the tasks before accepting them! I have wasted some time on few tasks as I never had this idea! Now having completed one task and getting 5 cents for that I can really appreciate your practical tips and I sincerely my thanks for that! Have a nice time! All the best!

Most of my submitted tasks are approved by the task creator. I actually enjoy some tasks because it cannot consume some of my time.. My only advice for you is that, you choose those tasks that ask you to comment on articles. However, you must really do good in performing the things that the task creator has given. Just be obedient and honest in doing tasks. They will truly give reward if you have done it well.

Hello Dear Karstine! I am happy to know that most of your asks are being approved by he creator and you are happy about it1 Yes, I too feel small tasks like commenting on the articles may no be bog time consumers and we can take a chance with them! There is no point in attempting a task if can't be sincere and obedient, I am always play the game with full ethic and I believe in fair games only! I will try to comment some comments in my next tasks if I feel like doing so! Thanks for responding!!!!

Dear Sishen! I too had the same feeling like what you have had till the time I have not tried the task seriously! Yesterday I have taken up a small task and surprisingly my task was accepted and I have been rewarded with 5 cents as my remuneration! I really had to work for only few minutes and the task was also a straight one without any down loads or surveys! I think you too can have a try and make few cents by undertaking few tasks given on this site! All the best! Thanks !!!!

I haven't tried the tasks section more than once. Some of the tasks seemed pretty involved with a low payout for the amount of time it would take. I try to stick to stuff that is quick and easy. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and concentrate on things.

Hello Dear Ravinskye! I too have a time restraint with me! So I was doubtful about this type of tasks! What I was interested to know was if the payment what we get from completing these tasks worth the time we are putting in? I think I will have to see some tasks for myself and understand them before attempting them to have a fair idea about them!Thanks for responding!Have a nice time!!!!

I had made some money doing tasks, yes. But, a number of times, my submissions were rejected. Quite disappointing ! Successfully completing the tasks, of course, helps enhancing the income. There is the list of available tasks, and I do check it once in a while.

Hello Dear Sydney! I must say that you are quite lucky to make 50 cents with two tasks! Yes may be you have attempted those tasks with high remuneration meant for the members from US or Canada! Such tasks are high yielders and you can make some good money from these tasks!!!!
Yes, I can understand, some times we nay have some tasks which may leave us in the frustrations! well you can try wit some tasks similar to the ones which you have attempted as your first two tasks!!!!
Thanks for responding!!!!

im also new to mylot .. and im also wondering that whether we can earn fast through completing the tasks or not .. but actually the task hosters actually have different prices and i think the us and canadian online users are really lucky because most of the expensive high price tasks are been alloted for themm .. but i think if there is a good task that is ofereing a good price then definately i will do it and love to earn money through tasks
