Well, not there yet, I now earned $4.35 and I'm really looking forward to my first payout. I'm going to give myself a treat, maybe a shoe or something.
How was your journey of $5 in the past? Were you on the verge of giving up back then? Did it spur you to forge ahead? Any inspirational stories or tips you can tell me?

I remember receiving my first payout here in mylot. I could not believe that it was real! It was so easy and i did not feel pressured working!

Believe me when I say, I hear ya!
MyLot is the first program that paid me more than $10. And I was so surprised and so over joyed.

What makes mylot different from other forums or even other sites like FB is because of valuable user discussions that you can see around. I hope MyLot won't shut down any time soon. Because just like your reason, rajanitishnaik, MyLot is a site to release my stress and a site to learn more from.
Heck, I even wish to build a site similar to MyLot. I want people to learn, earn and enjoy from my site--the things that MyLot already provides. That's one of the reasons why I really go back here too.

Oh no! They can't shut mylot down! Let's drive this thought away, it may happen. Pardon me for being superstitious.

Just curious, is it cheaper to buy things on eBay? All this hype about buying things online just baffles me..

I'm looking at the things on eBay now. Damn I've been eBay-infected already.

When you stop thinking about the money and start enjoying
the interaction with the people here on MyLot the earnings
just seem to multiply faster. That's what brought me back.
I have been gone from here for a while but I missed the people
who are always ready to help in any way they can. I too was
thrilled when I got my first pay but now I forget about it
and just enjoy the site. Now that you are half way there the
rest will be easier.
Have fun and enjoy life

I only started posting at mylot consistently just last month and I earned $3. When I say consistent, I mean like posting comments into discussions for like 10 times or 15 the most. I really thought at first that reaching the minimum is hard but since I am almost there at present, I told myself to set a goal each day so I can reach payout this month. I would be very happy since I knew myself that I worked and exerted my effort for it. Maybe you can also set a goal like the number of posts you have to make each day so you would have an idea how much you can earn everyday and how much effort, time and posts do you need to reach the payout. I am blessed that during this month, there were 3 days that my earnings were quadrupled by mylot so that really helped me a lot.

Yes, those quadruple days were awesome but unfortunately myLot was so down I hardly post anything. Thanks for the tips, I found out that posting discussions has a higher chance of increasing your earnings significantly.

A shoe? Oh Desiree...you should set your dreams a bit higher than that. I would suggest that rather than one shoe, you buy two. I don't even think you can buy one shoe but if you could, it'd be quite useless. Keep plugging away on that keyboard and don't give up until you can buy two of them...one for each foot. It's the only way.

I know. I was just kidding. Hmmm...I think that my first payment stayed on my PayPal for quite a while. I think I actually had several payments before there came I time that I needed money for something or other. I think I probably used it for gas or maybe something my daughter needed? I'm not sure. That was over 5 yrs ago

Hello desiree91,
Wow thanks for this discussion. It really helps me a lot especially I'm new in this site. I wasn't interested from the start but I got overwhelmed when I tried to interact with different ideas and opinions with other mylot friends. Have a great day everyone.

Great to be of service to you. You need any help, just post here. One of the greatest things about Mylot is that its members are always in no hesitation to answer your questions, no matter how odd it is. Cool huh?
Just post away! Especially discussions with high quality content!
