Spreading the myLot word

United States
November 15, 2015 7:56am CST
It seems that the myLot word has been spreading at other sites, good for here, not good for there. Folks at one site in particular seem to think that talking up other sites is bad for that site. Come on, we move around, we check what's happening at different sites. We gravitate to where our friends are and what they say is good. People join, they stay or they leave...that's the way it goes. People like to be where it's fun, and this site is fun. The interaction is fast paced...you don't have to wait an hour to get a response or comment on a discussion. The more the merrier - so keep spreading the myLot word!

No site can make its members stay - especially if it lets them down and breaks its promises. We are like butterflies and we flit between the flowers and move on when the nectar is all gone.

MyLot is not a site for everyone but the people who it is most likely to suit will most likely be found on other, similar, writing sites. They will be people who will already be somewhat familiar with the concept of discussion and are more likely to be comfortable with the concept of earning [pin-]money whilst doing something enjoyable. I have tried several times to convince others that the idea of online discussion and/or being paid small amounts for doing it is attractive but even those who already write at length on Facebook, for example, seem not to be interested. Perhaps I'm just not a good salesman or perhaps I have the wrong 'angle' but I think that it's more likely that I'm barking up the wrong tree. Many people, of course, are members of more than one site and find that MyLot complements and even gives them ideas for other styles of writing elsewhere. Any site which feels secure in the relationship it has with its members should have no concerns about a great exodus in favour of another site. There is enough room for everyone, I think, and it's only sites which are already moribund which have any need to be worried.

I agree, people go where they can have fund and where they find people they know.

I don't 'ask' people my real life friends have no use for this type of stuff! They will read mine if I send a link.

I agree. The more the merrier. I think it's alright to check out several different sites.

I agree, more friends on myLot only seems good to me. And who wouldn't want to be a part of this site?

@chance216 I guess some who think they are in a different class maybe? But there is room for all here.
