Happy to be on My Lot

I have been on different social media websites.
Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, My Lot, Gather.
The one I use the most is in fact My Lot.
I have Facebook on my phone as well but hardly use it. I have a Twitter account which I have used less than Facebook, I might as well delete it because i diidn't make it for personal use but for a business idea I decided not to do due to me wanting to be more creative and my idea wasn't on my creative skills.
I like My Lot the best probably because I can write and get good responses compared to other social media websites.
I started going on My Lot out of curiousity. I saw an article on Yahoo about social media websites that pay. I thought I'd check out My Lot to see what it was like. I didn't think I would make a lot of money and that it would be a little thing, I was right, I didn't care, I just wanted to try out another social media network. The money is the bonus I guess. I don't come on here every day. Some weeks I sometimes miss.
I didn't realize that I'd somehow become in a way hooked though. Has this happened to anyone else?
I tried to get some people to join but they didn't join. How do you tell people to join? Just tell them about it and give them a link? Do you give any details of what it is like compared to places like Facebook? I've never done it like this just sent an e-mail saying join me on my lot.
When you do it do they join? How many have you manged and how?

Hi shining star: It's nice that you have learnt to love Mylot and I wish that you just keep loving the site more and participate day after day in more subjects and discussions. In my case I think I can love Mylot and Facebook. They are completely different. Mylot lets me interact with people around the world talking about different subjects. I don't know personally someone from the site.
In the case of Facebook, it's the place where I can interact with my family, friends and people I know from my job, my former college, etc. So it's a more personal space for me.
I am not very into Twitter so I don't include it even if I have a personal account on this Social Network.

Hi
Thank you for your reply.
I agree that Facebook is much more personal and is used to talk to your colleagues, friends and people you know. I have used it for this too. This site is more for discussing various topics with everyone around the globe like you said.
I'm not into Twitter myself because I never know what to tweet and see it as a waste of time. I think there is a thing as too much social media you can get involved with. For me, can't be with too many as it is so time consuming.

Hi!
I use some social media sites too but it is facebook and mylot a lot. I became a member here in mylot few months ago but with no serious intention, I just signed up because a friend suggested and after that I just left like that. But lately I was looking for some site who can pay me when I write or comment and there was this blog, which I forgot, that ranked mylot as one of the best sites so I just thought maybe I'll try to get serious about this site(mylot) and see what will happen.
And here I am, I feel good being on the site, meeting new people and friends. Aside from earning, I have the freedom to share my thoughts. One thing I appreciate here is that this site has very strict rules, unlike other social media sites where there is a 'superduper' freedom that can promote sharing of non-sense thoughts.

Hello
Thank you for your reply.
Yes like me I had no serious intention. Just did it for fun. Still do actually because like you say it is really good for sharing your thoughts and getting other people's views as well, which is why I love it too.
Facebook is for more personal contacts I guess such as friends and work colleagues.

It's good to hear that you are happy with mylot. I am too. It is a good social networking site wherein one can participate in discussions and even post topics. Some posts really helps. It is like counselling too wherein one can get good advice to some mylotters. :-)
Have a nice day!
