Mylot and your time

Your friend clearly knows very little about MyLot. By saying "Tf you want to reach the payout in Mylot twice or thrice in a month ..." he shows that he doesn't understand the basic principle of payments - that payments are only EVER made once a month! You cannot, therefore, take ANY notice of whatever else he says about MyLot. The only thing I would tend to agree with is that MyLot CAN BE 'time consuming' (even addictive) and that IF you are good at writing and enjoy it, and ALL that you want to do is to maximise your earnings 'per hour', then MyLot is probably not the best place to do it ... but then MyLot never claims to be competitive in that market. It has other advantages for a writer.

MyLot should be considered as 'a job' or as 'work' by anyone. It is a fun place where we can discuss every topic under the sun and make friends from all over the world. On top of that it pays us! How can having fun and getting paid for it be time consuming?

I agree that it takes a lot of time in mylot for you to earn reasonable amount. but my take on this is, instead of me spending such time in facebook playing games, or in other forums talking about the sames things i am talking about here in mylot, so why not just do it here instead? Besides, here in mylot if i do spend that much time, i would at least earn some cash, so it is not totally a waste of time... :D thank you!

maybe.. i agree with your friend, if our perspective is only about money we agree that from money perspective mylot isn`t good for earning.. but we are still here..because we didn`t only search money right?

For me, no. I know Mylot is addictive but I can get online here while doing other online activities as well. I even can do my other job as this job is also on laptop. It's just about how you can manage your time.

Anything is time consuming if you aren't happy with what you're doing. Take Facebook for example, an ordinary user wont get compensation from Facebook even if they open it regularly but then millions of people open it everyday as if their lives depended on it. Mylot is a good investment of your time though if you want to practice your writing skills and the way you express your thought and you could use that skill to improve the way you write articles. Also, as a discussion site, it is full of unique and original ideas which you can base your articles from. A mylotter works not solely for the purpose of money, they come here because of passion.

Well, since you only get paid once a month if your earnings are over $10 for that month, it is up to you how active you want to be. Personally, it is about quality over quantity so even sometimes when time is limited to be here the more quality responses can earn just as ,much.

If your friend will not spend time here in myLot, he or she won't earn any amount of money. We all spend time here to earn. Your friend should choose between myLot and his or her other earning sites. Mylot isn't forcing him or her to stay here. Right?

Yes i agree with your friend that Mylot can be very time consuming. Tho if you don't think of it as a job or to earn money and just have fun with it then it wont seem as time consuming. It does seem time consuming for me sometimes but not all the time if i'm having a good day and not thinking of the money and being bored. Sometimes Mylot can be fun and you can make friends so that makes it not as time consuming.

I don't find mylot time consuming as it is fun, and i don't think about the money at all. I don't spend all that many hours in here, as I do have other things to do as well, but if this was my only site,I would be here more and I still wouldn't find it all that time consuming. If others would reaize that mylot is more about having fun than the money, they would do better, and wouldn't have to be here all day long to make money. Besides, you won't get rich from mylot anyway. Take care, and have fun.

myLot is certainly time consuming : there are days where I spend more time to respond to my PMs than to the discussions. I think that your friend did not saw the true interests of myLot : I see this site more in terms of friendship/fun/discussing than in terms of earnings, so I am satisfied with them.

A person who enjoys here at Mylot do not think of it as time consuming. People stay around because they have fun in participating with the discussions posted by other members and the earnings that they get from it only becomes secondary. Realistically speaking, if you would be relying on online earning sites as your means of income, then it is really not enough. It is still best to look for a stable offline job or a homebased online job which you can get from sites like Odesk and Freelancer.

I'm guessing the person means by twice or three times a month out of here you would have to make $20 or $30 since the min is $10. I think it can be done depending on what you do want to do to make money on here. I can make $10 in on month just by doing discussions alone and in the past when I didn't have two kids to look out for and take care of I could almost reach $20 in one month and that was doing several things on here to make that amount.

I participate in myLot during my free time and I cans say that I enjoy it here so I didn't notice if the time went by so fast. Well, your friend really want to earn more then he really have to devote more time with the site. As of now I am trying to reach my goal with my other online site so that I can devote more time with myLot. Have a nice day!

I got started a few years ago trying to make money online. I found an article that told of a few legitimate sites where you could make money taking online surveys. It was really geared for high school students, homemakers, and shut ins, but I wanted to try. I joined every one I could find and finally weeded out all the scams. I then learned that you could write articles and reviews online for money also. I will tell you right now that it takes a lot of work to amount to anything. I found Mylot and at first it was one of the sites I hoped to make money with but if that is what you are here for it is hard to make the ten dollar payout in a month. I have grown to like Mylot as a relaxing place to write and get away from all the other distractions in my life. You can also use this site to start topics if you need advice on any subject because you reach so many people that you will always get a good answer. Mylot has become a refuge for me and most of the regulars feel the same way I think. I can't really speak for them. Give it a try and you might find it relaxing and then when you do get the payout it's a nice little bonus.

ok here goes , we all choose to be here , we all choose to lok here and there , and yea alot of time hearing music, watching t.v., and yet we have fun, meet new friends, learn somethings, doing things we enjoy..so I will say if you enjoy , it is good place to be. Just do not get stresssed out and have fun to. if it is consuming it is because that is what we chose to do..yet alot of other places are to..so consider it a welcome place to meet people , enjoy, and make a penny as you do..

yup, i agree with him. no matter how much we can earn here, still mylot pays us just little money. I'm active here but not that active. I write here almost everyday and I write at least three or four comments (i try to write as qualified as I can cos I'm not an English native), still i need about three moths to hit my payment limit. so yes, I agree with your friend that yo must spend a lot of time here, write many many postings to be able to hit payment limit twice or three times a month. but of course I don't agree with his saying that Mylot just wastes our time. no at all. I mean, being here is our choice. if you want to earn much here, you must work hard too. but if you just take this activity for fun not for money merely, you can just spend minutes or an hour here just to write three or four comments. Mylot is really worth doing. I was so happy finding Mylot few years ago. though Mylot doesn't help me paying my credit card, but i always be grateful every time I hit my payment limit. so which one become your choice and need cos everyone has their times, needs and goals..

Yes, mylot can be time consuming but it's also a great pratice ground for quality discussion and reply! Obviously I don't spend as much time to reserve time with other online program! Do remember it based on quality here!

I do agree with this I believe that mylot is a time consuming site and to reach pay out does take a long time so if you a member of mylot purely for the money then you are on the wrong site. I like to earn money online so I prioritize other sites first as I can earn money on there sites much quicker so Im not on mylot as much as I like. I do find mylot very addictive and interesting because you are listening to other people's opinions and having rich discussions so it isn't a waste of time for that reason.

For me, to be able for us to earn in any writing sites , we should invest a lot of time in writing or participating. It needs effort and if we really have a target within months then it is a pressure. I think better to enjoy every moment while logging in such a writing sites than put an effort and set a deadline. I think better to treat writing sites a hobby and not a pressure one.
