I bet that got your attention! actually anyone who has been here awhile knows the best thing about mylot is the relationships we have forged here at mylot. There are still oeople here that believe the main attraction is the money. The money I earn here isn't going to make me or break me. How 'bout y'all?
I'm thankful to all of you who make mylot the great place that it is! my special friends who opened their hearts to me are what keeps me coming back here. My Mylit life would be empty without you!
You all are a blessing to me in your own way. Please give yourselves a big mylot hug! {{{Hugs}}}

I came for the cash, and six years later, I am still here. I get wonderful friendships and information. On MyLot I can travel the world.I learn about new places and sometimes have to look them up. Sometimes I get search rewards in doing so, but I also get rewarded by wonderful pictures of beautiful places. I develop a taste for new and different foods and I learn about other interesting websites. When I was down, being here and being able to help others really helped me. Even if wee are having difficlties with the site, it is well worth the time we spend visiting with one another.

Honestly, when I joined mylot all I had in mind to to earn extra.
My ref is not active so, I had to add vet mylotters to ask how this site works.
Opps...yes, I admit I am one of those newbies that do not read the FAQ's hehehe.
Later I found that the best thing about this site is not all about money- yes-
Friends- I have found them here and had fun while earning...

Well to be fair, I think about half of the people on this website are in fact here for the money. But it is the feeling of the community for the other half, along with the fact you can make some rather decent money on this website. Granted, I do wonder about people who are hear from the money, because unless you work your fingers to the bone every moment that you are awake, responding to every topic with decent length responses, with a big typing speed.
And even then, I doubt very much that if you responded to every single topic on this website, you will be making more than a few dollars and you would get burned out like no one's business after a couple of days. The money, while nice, is just an added bonus on top of the myLot mountain. Without the payment, I don't think I would be around here as much but I would be around. It is about 30/70 or maybe 40/60 about the reasons I am here.

I can't say I'm here for the money. Like I said in my post, the amount of money I get each month isn't going to make me or break me. I work as a content producer for a couple of websites. One I can make near $150 a month and the other one near $50 a month, so when I cone to mylot it is to chill out and relax. Before I found mylot I was on an unpaid forum and I went there to chill. Now that I've been on mylot for so many years I've come to know many if the people here. I'm more up close and personal here than with the other forum.
I'll get paid this month and that's great, but even if I didn't get paid I'd still cone here to chill.

I love mylot I come here to talk about how I feel or things I go through and I'm always going to find someone that has been there at one time or another or going through it. Its not all about the money for me its about communicating with others especially women that might be my age or older. I can't always talk to my husband because he isn't home all day long when I might need another adult to talk too. The money here helps out here and there it doesn't make a huge difference but some times it helps with those little things in between my husband getting paid.

For me its perfect because I'm a stay at home mom with a 15 month and another baby due in 20 weeks. So I need my therapy time every now and then on mylot and if I don't need it someone else do and I like to try to help out if I can or just give my thoughts on things. If I make a couple cent doing so that is fine to but it isn't all about the money at least. I get enjoyment talking to others on my lot and you never know what your going to find out about someone you don't know.

I came here with that exact mentaility. It probably didn't help I had just gotten off of a forum that I had really close friends on and they all screwed me in the end. It was a bad fight, that led to rumors...of course, and I just had to end up leaving...horrible. I decided I would go to something beneficial if I was going to spend hours on the internet and earn some money if I was 'wasting time'.
At first it was real easy to reply, and never go back to the post or care. Now though I notice the people who are here more frequently, and as human beings we tend to go back to the posters we have responded to before to kind of see the updates in their lives. I add friends now and am enjoying reading the responses now. Hopefully I won't be burned a second time.

Friendships are what you make of them. I don't know the scope of the other forum but for friends to have a falling out there must be a reason. It's not the forum's fault if some friends fall out. I have list one friend forever, but it was necessary to make the break. I still live the person from a distance but cannot be friends with her again like before. A person can only take so much I'll treatment and back stabbing.
Soooo...just choose your friends the way you would choose friends in real life. Watch and 'listen' to them and make an informed decision about a person's integrity.

Initially when I came to myLot, almost 6 years ago, my goal was to earn and nothing else. I was skeptical because jumping into a site I knew little about was difficult. Most sites are until I get involved and find out what's happening! I enjoy myLot more than any other site on the internet now and love to learn about other cultures, lifestyles and behaviors. I try to make time at least once a day to to hop on the site, read and respond hopefully with some sort of decent input.

Il be honest. The first reason I came here was for the cash. I learned really fast that this is an enjoyable site with great people. It has been fun to get to know people here and hear stories of their life as it happens. There are people here that can tell a great story like you are right there with them. The people here are definately a blessing.

I am the same with you happythoughts. When I first learned about myLot, I came here for the money, but I find it interesting afterwards, that's why after I deleted my old account, I came back here and start, and this time, I am not here for the money. :-)

Hi Happythoughts and Chicgail! The money draws everyone at first. They just see it as a forum that pays. But we are much more than that. We are a community filled with real live people with hopes and dreams and disappointments. Many if us bear our souls here. It's such a great place.

I joined here for cash also. My cousin introduced mylot and she said you earn money when you join. At first, I got bored. As time went by, I was enjoying reading the respnses and comments. But there are times that I feel a bit disappointed because my earnings is not going up fast. There are times that I run out of topic to talk about so I quit checking the site for awhile and come back when I feel alone and bored. Just like now, I am brokenhearted so I am back and most of my topics are all about pain.LOL!

No I'm your friend and were here for a cash . Kidding aside, At first that's true I don't have idea what about mylot is when I sign up. All I know is I came here just to earn money. That was 6 years ago.
Until I met so many friends here globally and I'm glad the community accepts me even sometimes I'm not good as you in writing because it is not our own language. But in time I learned so much from here, not only I improved my writing skills I do learned from others life's experiences. Until there was a time I left mylot for almost 3 years but still the mails are coming trough my mails and reading them even not logging in. I really missed mylot friends and I regret the times when I was away.
I'm proud to be a mylot member, I don't felt alone when I'm with you. This is the right place for me, I survived because your their for me. I'm alone and lonely but talking to my friends here I'm glad that someone is listening to me.

I think that's true for everyone. When we first sign up we have no knowledge of what mylot is all about. We have no idea about the wonderful people here until we get to know them.

I believe everyone was attracted on mylot for the cash. However, the sooner you realise that mylot cannot make you rich, the better. It is a nice place however, and the topics of the discussions can be practically unlimited. That's good because even if you are here only for the money, you don't have to undergo the same routine every day. It's a nice community and I am guessing a growing one as well.:)

The online friends you acquire here at mylot definitely make it a more pleasurable experience. Even though I've only been here a very short time I find that I look forward to hearing from certain people. People that tend to come up in the discussions I'm interested in, therefore you could say people that I share common interests with. And isn't that what friends are? People who share your interests. I think the prospect of money is what lures us all here in the first place. Those that are only here for the money don't stay as, obviously, you're not gonna make your fortune on mylot. Those that are here for interest sake, to discuss topics, make friends, have some laughs and collect a few pennies along the way are the ones who stay. And oh yeah, then there are those who are fueling their computer addiction, lol

All this time Pointless, you were just here for the money? You just broke my heart is what you did. Did that get your attention! I can see her rolling her eyes now in my mind saying not really. Seriously, everyone wants someone to befriend, that is what life is all about and I think it is very possible people do care for one another, well let us hope so anyway. I do.
Addictions, Suebee?, well fill me up eh! There are worse addictions out there I always say. If all my fingers do is find that one person that shows just one random act of kindness well it was all worth it. On the other hand maybe the old computer can enable me to do the same for them. Sure why not. Oh, enough of this sentimentality goings on, just throw me the money.

So... I just signed up, and I'm not sure exactly how it all works... (but pointers would be great!)
Since I am a stay at home mom, definitely making a little extra is appealing... But since my husband is in the army, it gets really lonely being away from my family... Honestly, I'd like to meet more people (and if you can make a couple extra bucks in doing so... game on!!:):)

Personally I think there are many of us here that might have come here once upon a time, expecting just Cash here like every other type of money making site and may be wanting to do it without any work as well. But I am Glad that in order to keep earning here, you have to be a talker, etc. and that is all good. If it was ran hard like most Online Business people tend to be, than no one would have a chance to succeed in here for sure.

Hi Tina! Great to see you. Hope you have been doing well lately.
Sure enough, there are folks that come here expecting a great payday and are disappointed. They usually start discussions asking if Mylit is a legit site. It gets annoying for sure.

hi pointlessquestions you are the best you know I have read a couple of discussions a month or so ago that was almost titled that. this person maintained she was here for money only so do not request her friendships. i noticed she was only here for maybe three weeks then just
disappeared. so sad as my friendships to me are the very best of my lot and have helped me to adjust to living in a retirement center also I do need the earnings but they are the frosting on m y mylot
cake. I look forward each d ay to discussions from you and Gifts and all my mylot friends it really makes my day. lol

Now Mylot is a great place to be but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was partially here for the money. What keeps me coming back though, are the great people and great topics I can find here. I love it here, and it's a great place to relax and unwind. I only wish that those who used to come regularly, and who made this place shine would come back. It is starting to get a bit dirty around the ages! lol!
