Stop Thinking about Money to Earn More

Correct me if I am wrong but making money online (no matter what kind of program that is) can be boring sometimes. Doing the same thing over and over again for a compensation that is not even near with the amount of your exerted effort. Time will come that you will get tired and you did not even reach payout. That sucks right?
This has happened to me before. I got tired of everything I do; from paid to click to forums. So I quit for some months and now I am back again with a whole new perspective. I realized that if I stop comparing the effort I exert with the money I get and just enjoy what I am doing, I will not be bored. Hopefully my enthusiasm and positivism would yield a higher return. :)
How bout you, can you share your philosophies or outlook towards making money online?

For me my philosophy will be that the program to make you money faster cannot be free. You have to invest at least a little to make it worth your time in making money online.

Oh I see. I am already a member of that program for a year and sure it is a great way to earn passive income. :) I do not know why other people are so skeptic about this despite of the overwhelming amount of positive reviews (sure there are negative reviews about JBP but like what you said, those are not true and the positive feed backs surpass the negative ones).
I hope there are more websites like JBP.

I found another after JBP. This one costs more, about $40 to start. I have taken out what I put in and now I take out about USD$30 every month. And the amount increases everyday.

Lot of people are interested in making online income and join with various sites and work hard as much as they can to increase their earnings. If they got paid by a site, they will start promoting it and rushing to get referrals. If some of the sites scammed them, then think online earnings are fake. But this kind of attitude is wrong. We must keep patience in online earnings.
Joining with various sites don't increase our earnings, it will increase our stress and give unwanted health issues. If you want a good income, you must concentrate with the good site which is paying a good income for your work. Don't be greed and spend most of your time in front of your system, it will spoil your health. You are in need to spend all your hard earned money to your hospital expenses.
Internet and online earnings is a way to make money in our free time and it will help us to give relaxation and avoid our stress, don't get stress with your online earning activities. It must be a stress reliever and never change as a stress maker. A person who is wise and organize his online activity will earn more while compared with the person who is working with various sites around the clock.
Too much of online activities will give boredom and tiresome. Take proper rest and care about your health, do you online work when you are relaxed, it will help you to earn a good income.

Mylot earnings is based on our reputation, if we get more reputation, we will earn lot. Try your best to give quality replies, don't care about the earnings and give your best in your replies and be active here. Surely you will be surprised with your earnings. Wish you for your mylot journey

Is that so? I did not know that our earnings are based on our reputation. Does that mean that if I have a Mylot reputation of 10, I earn more that you vidhyaprakash?

Everything you said vidhyaprakash_2 is true. I was a member of Mylot way before and I always pressure myself on making money here. I respond on a number of discussions. There are times when I do not even eat lunch because I was so hooked in making money here in Mylot and other sites. Most of the time, I would sleep late because of the same reason.
Despite of all the effort I put here in Mylot before, I always get frustrated with the amount of earnings I get. I thought that since I worked hard on posting to every discussions, I should be compensated accordingly. However, that is not what happened.
Because I pressure myself too much on answering to discussions, I do not consider the quality of my posts that is why I still have low earnings even if I spend almost my whole day in front of my computer.
I have learned that lesson the hard way so now I am just enjoying my stay here in Mylot.

I somewhat agree with you. If we just think of money and money and money then we will go crazy over earning that money online even you can't actually do it that fast. In everything, we need patience and better understanding. Earning online is easy as everybody say but you can't earn what you expected just overnight so don't push yourself too much,. Just enjoy what you are doing and that what matters most.

Hello simplepleasures,
Yes it happened with me when i started online stuffs.And i too like you left all the sites and took a break and now when i am back i am back on few sites.Mylot is my favorite place which i do not to earn i just come here to interact with my friends.May be when we think more about earning money from the sites we come in pressure and over work which leads to fatigue and boredom.

I have heard a lot of members say that interacting with your friends here in Mylot is more important than the money you get. That is really nice. I, too, hope that I can gain some trusted friends here in this site. :)

If we are always dwelling on what we are making we will not get very far. If we don't have fun here we are probably not going to make much. I truly enjoy my time here. It keeps me coming back for more and more. I always think I wonder what people are talking about on MyLot today when I am not here. I love it here, and that is why I do well with it.
If I didn't like being here or kept waiting on my earnings to rise it would feel like an eternity for it to happen! Since I have fun though I don't usually have an issue making payout. =)

Good for you!
I am trying to enjoy my time here as well that is why I am reaching out to other people and trying to make friends. That way I would be looking forward to talking to them whenever i am away from my computer. :)

It's hard for me to consider something either than the money. The money is very important to me therefore I am extremely driven by the earnings but earnings here are often measly so I don't get too crazed. I really do try to enjoy my time here but after some time I feel that I have struck boredom severely. This is why I've attempted to develop a routine where I can still meet my myLot goals and I can be involved with other things away from the computer like watching marathons or simply cleaning my room. Instead of earning every cent like I used to, I try to set daily goals which could likely assist with my cashout in the near future!

Exactly my point. If we pressure ourselves too much in making money online, we would just get tired of it.
You have a good strategy dellessimon45. In that way, you can earn here in mylot and still enjoy things away from your computer. Nice. :)

Making money online can really add to our usual earnings. I have a day job and consider this on online thing as a part time job because my income in my day job is not enough to cover our monthly expenses. Money is hard to find nowadays, in here, even in small amounts, I believe it can accumulate in time with a lot of patience.
I'm easily got bored also sometimes but I always think that I'm still lucky. Count my blessings there. I still have these resources to get me some amount. - the computer, internet access and my friends. That's keep me going.

You are a busy man Mikyung. :) You seem to be enjoying your online work. Well good for you! :) But don't you think your consumption of electricity as well as your internet bill surpass the amount of money you get from online work? So you end up with a deficit?

yah, if you are going to sit and complain, then get a real job. Otherwise, deal with the fact that it is not fun. Except maybe Mylot.

Yes you are right. I was a member of Mylot before and my only motivation when posting is money. So I post as many as I can, not thinking of the quality of my responses and the like. Eventually I got bored. By that time I already reached $6 but I decided to quit! So now I am just enjoying and having fun with my stay here. :D
