There is no substitute to hard work not even at myLot

I see posts being written about how to make it big at myLot. Several hours need to be put in here to see results. From my experience I have come to the conclusion that myLot needs to be taken as a place to unwind, relax and enjoy the interaction and not be treated as a place to earn. How has it been with you. How many hours do you spend here each day?

I'm here solely because I enjoy it. The money is so little that it's not worth stressing over in order to reach goals. If I needed money I'd have to find something else to do.

You are so right. I spend more money to be here

Hard to say, because I pop in here around other tasks. For example, today I was participating in discussions between doing surveys on Mturk and some of the household chores like laundry. My participation tends to be very spread out, but I don't spend as much time here as it sometimes seems. You're absolutely right that myLot is better as a place to enjoy the interaction than a place to earn. Several years ago I tried to treat it as a place to earn, and it just wasn't anywhere near as enjoyable as it is when I take it less seriously.

It is same with me. We cannot earn in here that fast. This is only for interaction just like visiting old friends. As of now, I have ample time participating in here but when vacation ends, my presence will not be felt anymore again. I can say that I am.a seasonal mylotter.

Even those who spend all their time here may not be earning more than say 30 dollars and that amount is not going to help anyone survive. So, as you rightly said myLot should be considered to be a place to unwind and in the process earn a little.

@annierose To each their own. That is how it should really be. Just be here to relax as and when time permits.

I try to be on for at least an hour. Sometimes if I really get into posting, commenting, and liking I can be on here for hours

Those who want to earn say a dollar a day need to be here for many hours.

@allknowing I don't find house work bad as we are retired and there is no one here to dirty it. Just the usual laundry and daily picking up makes my day very easy.

I'm probably here 12-18 hours per day. I do not have a job but neither am I on benefits/welfare...I just have savings. Just because I'm here that long I don't post...I'd say 90% of my time is spent reading.

I understand it. Sometimes I just read the discussions but then never comment back. I usually do it whenever I do not know about the topic but is interested on the topic.

Posting would help you earn since you say you spend many hours here - just a thought.

It's a great site. With conversations and interactions the money flows naturally. It takes effort and time but you can't force it.

I am with you. The reason why I came back here on mylot was to unwind from my very hectic schedule. Earning big? Not for me. I'm here to enjoy and have some fun, and to relax.

The struggle some put in here in order to earn is not quite what they should be doing. Just enjoy, relax, unwind.

I pop in and out several times a day. The time I am here depends on what else is going on in my life. I use other sites besides myLot. I work part time and am involved in other things also.

Four to five hours is about my usual @allknowing . I make more doing surveys, so this site for me, is chit-chat time.

I agree with you completely on this. Even if you put in several hours here you still will not make it big lol. I am here for several hours each day and I only earn a few cents a day. It is more for me to come to vent and be entertained then it is to earn money. I wouldn't come if I didn't earn anything but I do earn a little for my efforts and its fun!

Those few cents do give us reason to be here knowing fully well that timewise they are no earnings at all. I too enjoy the interaction here.

I can't exactly count the exact hour of stay because I pop in from time to time within the day. I interact for few minutes then disappear to do some chores, then come back when I am free again, then disappear again to do something else.

Thank you for posting this. I see one after another discussion about this. How do I earn at MyLot? Like they are going to get rich. Or like the answer is: kick your feet up and relax- the money wil come to you! Not.

There are sites where one can earn by submitting articles where there is no interaction but this is a place where we converse with each other on mundane issues. It is understood for such interactions there will not be heavy payments.

There is no fixed time for me to spend here daily. Some time I devote 3-4 hours a day and sometimes I don't even log in here. It all depends on the leisure time I get.
