I have been reading posts from people about the tasks people can do on mylot ot earn some extra money, I have been and looked at the task section and I'm not sure how this actually works.... my friends will know I'm a bit thick on the pc..... I was thinking of trying some sort of task next month and would really like to have some advice from some fellow mylotters on how ot really go about it, whats the best one ot try for a newbee on doing a task etc, how you got on doing a task and really anything else you can think of to help me do a task and not be confused.
Many thanks.
Off to bed now, will catch up with you all tomorrow night (Friday night)

I do task sometimes, when my brain doesn't wants to reasoning more reading discussions and trying to give solutions then I do tasks.
Sometimes I have tried to do the rewrite which pays you $2.00 per that but after expeding 4 hous trying to write a good report they sent me a message telling me that it was rejected.
Maybe I am not as good writing so I prefer to do those whre you only have to write two or three sentences about an article.
Tasks are a good way to make some extra cents.

Maybe the task that you have been accepted have allotted of only 4 hours. I don't accept that kind of task, it will make me pressure to write a bad article. But I always accept a task that will make a comment of 2 to 3 sentences. Usually I get paid the next morning.

Mylot tasks-- most of them pay $0.02,$0.03nlike that only. You do get task like writing articles where they pay for 500 words $2.50 -- they all get announced suitable for us timings.
Some articles - they give $0.70-- not worth it because they want originality and at the same time pay lower than what we normally charge for simple typing in India. awfully low.
Be on the look out. If you come across some task suitable for you take up and do it quickly.

yes. welcome to mylot. That requires a lot of creativity, good language and originality. Once I took seven articles at a time and in tension I used certain parts of some article from net and it was classified as not eligible. Take only one or two per day and enjoy doing it.

you are right, the best tasks are @ 2.5$ an article but they get posted after 9pm but if you can do those you can earn handsomely here.

I tried out the tasks when they first came out, about two years ago. I found that it was not really worth it.
You may get better advice form experienced My lotters.
good Luck with it.

During I'm join at MyLot, I'm only do one task and then I won't do again. The pay do task, for me, is very small and more annoying for me is I have to wait long to get paid as promised by the assignor .... I better work on reviewing tasks offered by the sites of paid review program

Yes. You also feel that the payment for tasks done is very less. also reviewing time lag is more in some cases and after waiting the task may be rejected also.
what is that "reviewing tasks offered by the sites of paid review program".

In my opinion,many tasks on mylot is unnecessary to do.Because many of the tasks pay us so little.Don't like the task website,they can pay us a good amount of money,such as microworkers which i have joined before.And now,i am also a member of the site,you can really earn some extra money from the site

I haven't done the task yet. I am newbie here. I wanted to some task. I think we have to read the instruction first before doing the task and try easy task. I knew it's hard to do task at first but once you used to it, you will like.

Hi Anne
I very seldom do tasks on myLot, but I do check on them once in a while to see if there are any that I can work on. And I only do the tasks that I think I am able to complete.
I remember the first one I did (because I just wanted to try it out), I picked the easiest one that I think I'm able to complete and I got paid instantly.
Be sure to read the instructions and understand them before you proceed to accept the task. Just choose the ones that you are comfortable with in doing or they will be rejected and you won't get paid for them.
Good luck to you!

I have done a few tasks on here and have been rejected once I think haha anyway I don't really do tasks coz the ones I can do will have real low pay and some of the top paying tasks are only allowed for people in the States :(
Anyway there should not be a problem doing tasks coz the task creator would have already mentioned what you need to do and all you have to do is follow the steps.
Hope you have fun time doing tasks here. For me, I rather stick to discussions hehe!

I rather like discussions and commenting as well, good fun trying ot get around to everyone and catching up with friends, I just wish I could have more time here on my lot. Soon I just might have one whole day to spend on mylot if I get my act together and get all the other things done in advance. Boy that would be so much fun, just hope I choose a day when mylot isn't being slow!!

Me too! I wish I had more time like I used to before so i could stay all day on here. But that is too good to be true I guess. I will have more free time starting next year I guess, it's just so overwhelming at the moment!

In fact it is quite easy. You go to the task section in Mylot and see which you can finish. Then submit the task after you finish it. If it is well done, then the task creator will approve it soon and then you will be paid for it immediately. I really enjoy doing the task in Mylot since it is a shortcut to earn faster from here. I will check whether there are new and suitable tasks for me to complete now and then.
I love China

In the early days during very active involvement in here, I did a few task which gave me good income.. but I recently find that the tasks are more meant for ppl staying in the US whilst me in Asia. But if you are able to to some task, indeed it's better!

Hi there! I haven't really tried mylot tasks but I know a site that does online tasks and you get paid for it. Now that you have mentioned it, maybe I should try and see how mylot online tasks work. I'm new at it too. Try find the ones you can do easy. I hope this helps.

I sometimes check the task section sometimes for any new tasks that I can do. It's not all that hard or tricky. It's surprising how you've been here for quite a while and have never checked out and tried the tasks here! I don't actually do the tasks all that much, I'm too busy reading discussions and replying to them. But if I didn't have anything to do like when I run out of discussions to respond to, I simply just pass by the task section and check out some new tasks that I can earn a few extra cents or dollars if you're up for the big ones. There are a few tasks that pay out just to sign up for something. I do those most often. You simply read the instructions, do what the instructions tell you to do. If you could complete the whole task with no trouble, then you accept the task and paste in your name or email in the box.

I look up available tasks once in a while and if something appeals to me as interesting, I do them. Just an incremental addition to earnings without much pain!

Hi Anne18!
Completing a mylot task is an easy way to earn extra cents. Task creator approve your work fast.
First you have to choose a task, read the instructions and then decide if you want to accept them. Look at the amount equivalent to the task and consider if it is worth your time. There are tasks for $0.03 that are very hard to do (sometimes you have to join one account and then complete another task from that account, etc) and personally, I don't want to do those tasks. There are tasks that will ask you to read a blog page and leave a comment. Those are the easy ones.
One mistake that I did was I completed a task before hitting on the Accept button. After I completed what was instructed, I hit accept and it turned out that there are no available slots anymore. :( Waste of time and effort.
I have completed several tasks since I started and so far, I always get approved so I always look at the available tasks every time I log in :)
