I tell myself that I should reach another thousand post before the end of this month.
And wow...before I knew it- I MADE IT
Now I am giving myself another race, to reach the payout before the end of November.
I am not active this month due to offline activities and un-scheduled meetings.
But, I won't give up.
If I was able to reach another thousand post
I am very much POSITIVE that I can REACH PAYOUT too
Ever set a goal this month?
Have a great week dear mylotter

Hi jai
Can't set any goals here anymore. I can be here normally only when there is no one around to see me doing this. And most of the time there is work and there are someone around. At home network connection isn't so good. Most of the sites are not showing up and for some sites it works but takes a lot of time before it loaded. Too bad for my online earning activities.

Jai sis, in my area here, today is the last day of November and i am happy able to passed through the payout level. I had been posting in here for 3 months, to be able to reach for the payout. Seems like, my offline matters really had sucked most of my online time. So far, i didn't set any goal as how many post i should do in a day. But, i do set some time aside for me to online, as long i am at home. But, December would be a month full of functions again, maybe i would to be missing here and there for a few days. So, would need until next year to reach for my next payout. Have a nice weekend again, sis...

My post is to reach $10 at the end of the month; however, that's already on Friday. I don't know if I can reach it. I hope so but if I won't reach it then it's fine. At least, I enjoy participating here. I won't mind my goal anymore. LOL. I wasn't able to participate a lot on the first week of November. I started to be active again last November 9th. Anyway, let's keep on posting and I hope we all will reach our goals. Happy mylotting.

Wow, good for you! Yeah, I will try my best but if I won't make it then it's fine. It will be added to next month's earnings. Thanks for the comment and goodluck to all of us here.

hello angel,
Don't give up, it's still 4 days away (Mylot time is behind our time zone)
Anyway, if you can't make it this month that means bigger earnings on the following month
I was not active this month compared to previous month/s due to priorities and important matters.
But I am trying to give my best- and I am sure I can make it before the month end.
Wish you all the best too.

I haven't tried that before. It's a good motivation! It will give you more power to post here every hour in a day. I am an ex-member here and I think I should try that technique. I don't even reached a thousand post in my last account here.

It depends on what one is looking for here. For me it is interaction, sharing and gaining knowledge and the earnings are a bonus. And as you will see even with my laid back way of working here I have 6497 posts as at this moment to my credit!

Last October , make it to the payout Jaiho. Thus, my earnings for that month was of course carried over for November.
And this day, i saw that i am just 7 cents from the payout, because i really aimed for it this November.
Now i am aiming for 1 few dollars more.

Thank you for saying so my friend. Actually , today i saw my earnings and i was at least assured that I was able already to make it to the cash out on the 30th.
I am only active here if i am not busy on my job. Besides, i get to discuss new topics when suddenly i have some experience to share.

Before, I set my goal to reaching the minimum payout within two months since I am not that active here. But this month, it's like I can reach the payout within a month only but my cough is disturbing me from participating here. I am short by $1.48. And considering that, I can say that I am able to fulfill my goal to reach the minimum within two months because I am only on my first month.

hello adnileb,
$1.48 and we still have 4 days to go (we're ahead compared to Mylot timezone).
I am sure you can still make it by the end of November.
I thought I can't make it too since I am short of $2 since yesterday.
But now I am just cents away after the earnings update last night.
Get well soon

I just hope to reach payout next month again...hopefully

Few cents to go...
I hope I can make it too.
If I could make it this month, my goal now would be - reach payout within 1 month. But since next month is loaded with holidays and I will be out of town for many days, I will resume this goal on January.

hi sis! goal setting is very important... it gives one a purpose and a direction. it separates the driver from a floater or a swimmer from a sinker.
on my early days in mylot, i used to have mylot goals and i'm happy i have achieved most of what i set out to do except for 1. i still haven't achieved a $100 single pay-out... as i'm about $30 short still. it would have been easier if i actively participate here like before when it was easy for me to reach pay-out of $10 or more. i have set my sights on a particular goal and i know in due time, i'll reach it.
wow! you are definitely one of the most active filipino mylotter here.

Hi jai,
Yes but sometimes I don't mind at all specially when your heading to something important outside myLot. And it seems even though I want to reach a goal this month I can't reach a payout but for sure next month I will not surely miss it.

I did tried to set out a goal last month and that was to reach payout, and I did luckily. But with that, I did a lot of mistakes like starting a discussion that was a duplicate of someone else's which wasted a lot of mylotters time and effort. With that I promised to just enjoy my stay here and never try to set goals again. I don't want to make mistakes again because I am trying to either reach payout or reach a thousand posts a month.

I'd rather just enjoy my stay here and to things slowly but surely rather than set goals and waste my time as well as others time here. But of course, if you prefer to have your goals here and I respect that. We all have our own opinions right. Congrats as well with achieving your goals here

I never put myself in that situation. I never thought about setting goals here. I figure I will do what I am able to do. There are some days that I am here posting and responding more then other days. I think if I set a goal for myself I would feel pressured to accomplish it and I would feel bad if I did not make it. So I just keep it simple.

hello inertia,
I don't set goals before too.
But I found it interesting and challenging.
I use to read a lot or scan funny videos when I am infront of my desk and waste my time.
Setting goal inspires me to stay longer here in mylot instead of wandering and doing nothing.
Thanks and have a great day

Good for you! Setting goals keep you focused on the things you want to achieve. It is also a great motivational tool that keeps you going and unsatisfied until the goal is met. I had before goals here in myLot too. When I was starting out in here, I set my goal to finish getting the myLot features like emoticons and copy-paste. Then I set goal on payout. Highest goal that I have achieved is $30+ in a month. And really, setting up a goal really pumped me into doing that.

hello AG,
Exactly and that is the reason why I set my goal.
I use to be idle while on the net, watching youtube, scanning facebook friend's photos, quotes etc..duh.
Now that I challenged myself to reach one goal- it's so rewarding.
Looking forward to reach 20thou post soon....hahaha
Thanks and have a great day

Hi,
I set goals many times but our network system and electricity supply system destroys my goals. we have power cut problem many times. When electricity is going well there is problem of networking. So I have decided to just take part and enjoy and don't set goals.

hello roshigo,
I understand your reason and it's sad to hear that no matter how you want to stay longer there are obstacles that make you stop from doing it.
Anyway, as long you keep active here and do your best whenever you got the chance...that matters most

I haven't set any goals for myself. I just make it a point that I came on mylot every day and just have fun. I think I will be able to come on a lot more due to all the time that I have off from work, it helps me get the day to go by quicker and so I won't be so bored. While I search for jobs and work on other online jobs I have. I do try to make a goal though to make payout each month. Well last month I hit payout, but I don't think I will this month, I've got a long ways to go. But oh well, if not I'll for sure hit it for the next month. Congrats though on hitting your goal. Hopefully you will next time around.

But later I try to give myself a challenge and I am enjoying it.
Thanks for the encouragement and hope to reach another thousand post again...

I do and I don't, if that makes any kind of sense at all. I do make goals so that I can keep the discussions that I've started fresh while also responding to discussions that other people have started. However, the reason that I set these goals has nothing at all to do with the change that I'm making on here, instead, it is because I do like to work with all of my own discussions but I find that my real passion is in responding to discussions that other people have started.

There is a saying and I am sure everyone knows about it _" Setting the Goal in Life is Very Easy but to Complete or accomplished it is very difficult." Why this is so, what I feel is that many time when we set the goal that time we does not consider or think that some or other work will come forwards or any obstacle may come in life to complete the goal what we have set.
But any way what my goal is that try to log in at Mylot daily if not for two to three hours daily but atleast one hours and take part in discussion without fail.

hello roshan,
I know it's easier said than done- but nothing is impossible if we give our best too.
Like in marriages, when couple cite their vows, they don't say "MAYBE, or I will try" - but marrying couples says..."I DO" means...I DO MY BEST.
Thanks and have a great day

Wow, a thousand post just in one month, you are a serious myLotter!
Well, my goal for this month is just to reach the 500th post And I did it after 5 weeks of joining the lot .
My next goal for the month of December is to reach my first payout. Im keeping my fingers crossed despite the fact that I haven't been participating that much these past week.

Thanks and I know this sounds impossible.
But I am sure you can make it too- just give it a try and challenge yourself (thu I am not saying do it- now)
Anyway, I do not set goals before but I find it challenging after I have done it once.
When I was nearly reaching 10k post, I told myself that I should reach 10k and I made it.
Now I am trying to race with my own setting...hoping to reach the 20k post..soon as possible.
Have a great day
