When I was new here......

when I was new, I thought that this is a stranger place. I don't know what to do, but then see others discuss their personal problem too. so I do the same, but then I meet someone whom he is my social network friend, he read that and ask me about that. OMG!! I'm so shy about that!!

It seems a lot of us had trouble getting settled, especially with reading the guidelines and such. When I was new, all I could think about was the money. I tried to calculate how many posts per day it would take me to reach my payout but I was so frustrated because I couldn't find the earning rate! But then, a fellow mylotter and one of the first friends I made on mylot, mysdianait, taught me over time that there was more to mylot than the money. And I'm so glad I listed!

My response got posted as a comment .Sorry for the error.

When I was new I felt out of place, like I wasn't welcomed or belonged to this site. Then again I tend to feel the same way with any site I join. But that all changes once I've been a part of it for a while. Happy mylotting!

i dun remember much the beginning time when i was new in here...I joined mylot 1 year ago but i just left it there and then being active from April...

When I was new here three years before, it is like a world of aliens in mylot . I just got confused what to do and what not to do even after reading the questions. By repeated experience from here, and from other friends I learned a lot about mylot and even the other subjects too.

This is the second of your discussions that HAVE NOT been anywhere in my mail! Running to work now, will check your profile...judy in case notifications have been turned off...I know I did not do it--!!~ Yes....Cranky grandparents, sometimes here...I nearly "packed up my tent and headed for higher ground" in my first year here! Will share more later!! Off to work!

Having been a new person on many websites in the past, many forums, I had a good idea what I could have been getting myself into. When you're new, you're swimming with the sharks. Either you appease them by playing by their rules or you get eaten up by them and become like the never ending stream of individuals who have tried to go against nature and pay. Mistakes, I've made a few...dozen or so. Especially in that first month or so. I think the entire time during my first month where I had no idea of how this website truthfully worked and even after reading the guidelines, it took a while to find my feet. I think that if you can by with the first few months, you're likely in for the long battle more often than not.

i still get guidelines quoted at me when i forget, even though it is a genuine forget lol

When I was new here I felt like a fish that entered into a shark tank! I was worried because I had no idea what I was doing. Once I read everything and got more familiar with it all, I got addicted quick! =) Now you cannot get me to leave, lol.

When I was new here (and I say that loosely as I am still new, lol) I read the guidelines over and over again. This is the first, and so far the only, site that I go on where I make money. I didn't want to be in violation of any of the guidelines and I took them very seriously. As I started to get the hang of it more and more I am much more comfortable on here. I think I figured it out pretty quickly and know how to enjoy it now. I asked some questions of the veterans but I can't say that I felt like they were reprimanding me. In fact, I think they were quite gentle with me, lol. It was all a learning process.

When I was new here 2 months ago, I felt that I am in the middle of a big library with lots of open books around me where I can read all them anytime I want. But of course as a newbie I felt insecure because lots of people here are already established their reputations and has lots of friends while me just starting and trying hard to have friends and earn a reputations. Most of the seniors here give me chance to prove myself that I dont need to be insecure because all of them was also became a newbie before. They served as my inspirations in life that if you work hard you will get anything what you want and you can earn more if you have patient and decidication for what your doing. :)

Well I am still fairly new myself. But i dont think i felt as if i was a freshman. I didnt know what was going on, so i just started out with the MyLot discussion boards and read the post of all the other questions that were answered. And the main import links that i had questions about Ms D had them already posted. So reading is fundemental!

Still a newbie here, same as you, didn't have a chance to read guidelines and faqs since i'am really lazy :) It's like you're new to a place where you don't know any of the rules and how people will respond when you talk to them.

When I was new I started everything in the general category..lol. I also didn't know anyone here so there were many time when my discussions went unanswered. I have just recently got answers to a them I remember being discouraged a couple of times and then I had a few wonderful myLotters take me under their wings. I remember rushing to the computer when I could just to see what they had started or if they had responded to me. Oh...I was reprimanded a few times too
