"Not all the time I consider myLot as beneficial. Sometimes, it is waste of time". One of my friend said it to me when I invited him to come back and be active again on myLot. I was keep silent for awhile before I answered him this way "If that's you point of view I respect your opinion".
Yes, he was right. You felt that way when you are here for the sake of you earnings only. If you enjoy alot of things here, you cannot say myLot is a waste of time. Am I right?
How you consider your activity here? Do you consider it for your earnings? Share you ideas guys

I'd say both. I enjoy exchanging ideas and having a conversation here while earning some as well. But I can also understand why to some mylot is just a waste of time. Especially if your only goal is to earn here, you will find it unsatisfactory because you'd realize you can only earn a little with each post and if you're not really interested in having a treat discussion or the topics are not appealing to you and you can only reply with a sentence or two you won't really get much from mylot. The key here is to enjoy talking with other people and be really interested on the topics at hand and you'll find you're not only having fun but earning even more because you just can't stop adding responses and comments to the discussions that held your interest. Not a lot can get to that point and most will just give up will a few cents in their account.

You can really tell that happens because almost if not everyday we see discussions created on whether it is true we can earn from mylot etc. To be honest, I've been here six years and I've only been paid once so far. I'm currently looking good to get my second but a couple of times before, I sufferred having my earnings deleted because I was gone from the site for too long and not logged in and had my earnings forfeited. Yet I still always come back. Because it isn't just the money. I like it here. And to hit two birds with one stone I make sure now that I still get to log in once a month to avoid losing my balance so even if I take a time off from mylot when I get back my earnings will still be there and I'd be ready for that second, third, fourth payments and so on.

It so sad to know about your experience. I am here for almost 6 years already and got almost $200 from the site. I am doing good the past years but this year I consider it as failed. I work abroad and I only have limited time to stay here.
Besides, I have different programs that I need to work also to get some extra income for my future vacation
I am planning to save all my online earnings for a specially occasion after I come back again in the Philippines, that would be after 2 years.

Exactly you are right. Many people think that earning here is good enough that they will satisfied immediately and won't leave the site. After few days while posting here and after the updates they will find out that earnings is not good. They can only earn cents if they don't know how to boost their earnings.
AS you said by continue the conversation, you will not aware that you have a good thread made and you will earn more on it.

A friend of mine once told me "Mylot again!" (with eyes telling me to stop this stupidity I'm doing.) I responded proudly: Yes, Mylot "again". I love to write, I love to share, I love to talk and make discussions and I love Mylot! Not only am I enjoying doing it but I get to learn and earn friends. And the bonus part is, I get to earn real money. He shut up and continue with his online game

I will admit that I was originally drawn to mylot because it was promoted to me as a way of making money online. It did not take me any time at all to realize that my reasons for staying on mylot did not have anything at all to do with the money that I was able to earn.
Now if I was one of those people that was on mylot for money alone, then I would have to say that mylot is a collosal waste of time.
However, for me mylot has filled a social hole in my life and that is the reason that I have kept coming on here each and every day for the last three years. Considering mylot this way, I do not think of mylot as being a waste of time at all.

WOw! It's nice to know you are here for 3 years but your total number of post reaches to more than 20,000. It seems that you are very active. I admire you for being a very good example of a myLotters.
I am here for more than 5 years but still I am far away from your activities

Two things there. First of all, I'm a person that really likes to talk and the second (and probably more important thing) is that I've been a stay-at-home mother with very little social life except for my husband and my best friend. So to me, mylot and the friends that I've made here is very much my social life.

I will rather waste my time in mylot coz i know i will earn here than waste my time playing games online where i can only earn virtual money which i can't even encash I felt bad to my friends and even my brother who spent a lot of times playing games online while me with mylot and earn some extra income which is actually enough to pay my monthly internet if i can only give more time in here though in my case i can only give few hours after work and still manage to be at facebook but not to play games. So mylot might be a waste of time but in a good side not a total waste of time.

Never played online games even in facebook. I have alot of things to do online that is why I cannot find extra time to play. Aside from that, I learn myLot in my early age of online earnings. Instead of wasting it in facebook I prepare to spend it here.

I truly disagree. Games are still worth of our time, if we know how to monetize it as a cost per action (CPA) and internet marketer.
I think there is a possibility that we can make money by playing online games, as long we are "internet marketers". Let me share to you something on what I do when playing online games.
When I played a game called Angels Online, I usually promote a contest where they will win a virtual item from me. In exchange, they need to go to my website with a CPA (cost per action) content locker and complete at least one offer. Once they completed one offer, I make money.
Not only I play games, I also earned money by promoting my own "contest".
The same thing goes to Facebook games. We can make money by being a CPA marketer and promoting various gaming offers to those people who are online in the game.
You can even spend time playing a 3D game and record it using a "game recording software", and publish it on Youtube. Once published, you can boost views and share it to your friends on different social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Everything has an earning opportunity, especially in playing games. We can do both MyLot and monetizing games with CPA offers at the same time (but that really depends how much time you have every day, it's up to you).

Well, if I am not myLotting online, I would definitely be doing other unproductive things online. IT is much better for me to put up my idle time online myLotting and earning rather than doing nothing and having nothing at all. Also, myLotting can be done simultaneously with my other online endeavors. That makes it more suitable for me.

Hey LiviaTao
It's my privilege to welcome you here in myLot. You posted first in my discussion. Hope you will enjoy staying here connecting with different discussions from fellow members.
Please to meet you my friend.
How do you find myLot? Where you find the site? You are referred by one of your friends?

My six years stay in mylot has been rewarding. Not in terms of monetary gained but so much of knowlege earned from the discussions and responses. And ofcourse the friendships bonded over the years with people around the globe is a treasure to keep. Mylot is a place where I find comfort interacting with like minded people who appreciate my views as much as i appreciate theirs. Though there are moments of disagreements but healthy debates are what make us good thinking society.

I consider my time my own to spend as I see fit. There are a lot of things my friends are interested in doing that I see no benefit in. That is fine for them, but if I will not get even minor enjoyment from doing those things, it will be a waste of my time to do them. Posting on myLot as a leisure activity that also has the benefit of making new friends and earning a little money. That is hardly a waste of my time.

True, but I would say once you enjoy earning is an added bonus :-)

To be honest myLot does contribute sometimes to put off other chores that need my attention. That is an indication that myLot is a place where one can spend hours without getting bored!

My friend when I join I was also feeling the same thing. But later once I started commenting on other members post and also started reading the comment I use to get on my post, I really start taking active part in the discussion. Now I find Mylot is more then the earning site. I can say here at Mylot we create a sort of Bonding between the members here whether they are on your friends list or not.

Well, I do not find MyLot a waste of time. I think it is a very enjoyable website. I love coming here, as a matter of fact, I look forward to coming here. I love meeting new members and communicating with my current friends here. It's not all about the money, but that is a perk, a good perk. So MyLot is what we want it to be. I do understand that it is not for everyone.

Yes, you are right. I totally agree with you. If you are here just for the sake of earnings only, then it is really boring after some time and quite a waste of time because the earnings is low and slow. However, if one is here to learn and share new things or even experiences, there are so much to see and enjoy.
I do enjoy myself here if i am here to write and share. But if i am here to check on my number of posts for the sake of earnings, this is really tiring for me. And for sure, after some time i will quit from here. However, good thing this is not my case. I enjoy reading people's discussion, it makes me laugh, smile and wonder. Hence, how a person views myLotting is definitely depending on his/her attitude.

There is no way I would ever consider being a member here in myLot a Waste of Time. It all depends on really what a person considers this site for. If you came here expecting to get rich and only here for the money then it will disappoint but if you are here for the friendship, communication and to just be able to talk and share about things going on in life, then this is the place to be. I personally could never imagine being anywhere else.

Yes, that is the most wonderful thing for sure. Even if you miss it by less than a $1 which many times I have, they just roll it over til the next month until you have enough, and then pay you. Great incentive for anyone really interested in earning a little extra money.

When you are connecting with people. Learning and growing into the person you are going to become because of them... how can that be a waste of time. No you will make a millon dollars here, but you will make real friendships, great business connections, and earn a few bucks in the process. I would never consider that a waste of time

you are 100% right. I have found some of my Herbalife partners on here. I am even meeting a really good friend in person in just a few weeks. We have been friends on here for about 5 years! I have meet other people who have followed me to other free money making sites. I love Mylot and it will never be a waste of time to me

It really depends on why you're here. If you're here to get rich, then it'll never happen. We have to be realistic here. MyLot isn't the place to get rich but if you have nothing better to do, then "wasting" time on myLot is better than "wasting" time on say, Facebook, for instance. At least here at myLot, you'll learn new things, you socialize and you are rewarded for your activities.

Oh, that's so bad to hear.
As much as I enjoy earning here, I enjoy giving suggestions and advices too. Instead of logging in to other social sites that I think is not beneficial to me, I would rather go here. Even though I don't participate, and just read others, I don't consider it as a waste of time.
Don't worry, it's his loss not ours or yours.
@adnileb (5276)

YES. Actually I seldom log in there.
Besides, I have nothing to do there but browse the status of my friends. So it's much better to browse discussions here. Instead of commenting on Facebook, I'd rather participate here. Add to it that I am earning here.

i cannot consider mylot as a waste of my time. henceforth, you are right, that if you're just here because of earning and not enjoying, surely you will be stressful for that because we all knew how much we can earn in a day. but when you are enjoying it like there in facebook or any social sites, you are earning as well as learning and at the same time your scapegoat to boredom for having fun in here...
:) thanks for sharing

hmmm.. earning in the first place for me is your motivator. you will get excited when you see it arising. but nevertheless, it is the fun am after in here. in fact i opened paypal yes, but did not able to open for eon cards in the bank in order for me to claim my earnings. so in short, i am not too adamant into it. oh yes, haha... it is really disappointing but yes, having fun would be the best reward to the efforts you started here.. :) thanks
