My worst MyLot month ever?

Well, if you judge success by earnings, this will be my worst MyLot month ever. I blame my third job, working at my friend's preschool. I've never subbed so many days an any given month in the four years I've been working part-time there. But it's been a fun month in terms of meeting new friends, keeping up with old ones, working on songs with Vanny, and sharing a few laughs. What are your thoughts? Is MyLot slowing down a bit? Or have I (and many others) just been "hecka" (as the young people say in Northern California) busy with the start of the new year?

With all the new user discussions I see posted, I don't think the site is slowing down. I'd say you've been busy with real life and spending less time on line.

Probably the case. This morning, I finished my last client progress note before allowing myself to do anything else. You can relate to my final "chore" for the day (it will actually be fun): reading my first batch of in-class assignments from my students at the College. For that, I'll probably put on some Keith Jarrett Trio.

Some days are busier than others. Overall it's been a good month for me....not my best....far from my worst.

@TheHorse I've been know to sing that song whe. I'm feeling neglected. Somehow it never nets me any sympathy. I'll try to make a point of finding your discussions and commenting.

The site has seemed to be slower for quite a while now.

My best earning months were my first ones here. But activity doesn't seem that much less to me, except perhaps for the past couple of weeks.

Perhaps the rate of response on threads that earn for you has been lower than usual.

No clue. I think I've just been a narcissist and not spent enough time on others' posts.

I started in the late January and still made the payout. If I had been here before I guess I would have made more. Maybe double that I have now? The site seems to slow down at times but still enough of posts to respond and if you interact with a group that are always active that also benefits.

I think it's slowed down a little because people have been super busy offline lately. As a stay at home mom I'm able to be here more than most people.

I haven't spent that much time on here this month and have written way fewer posts but your right sometimes real life just is more important.

Eh, life is over-rated. Kidding. I wouldn't trade in the mandolin "lessons" I've given and the hugs I've received over the past month for anything. Except maybe Emma Watson's hand in marriage. If we have stuff to talk about, that is. And she can sing on key. And smells good.

I've only made the $10 mark twice in all the time I've been here @TheHorse ; but then again, I don't post every day either.

@TheHorse Well, if it makes you feel any better I think I'll still fall just short of payout - and that's two months since the last one!

I've had my best month ever but put that down to not having chunks of time away. I guess as long as you're enjoying the journey the money isn't going to make much difference.

Same here. I suppose it is very difficult to keep the same pace every month. Most people would slow down, for various reasons.

I hear you. Making 10 cents a day is kind of fun but I tend to find other things to do and there is a dog drama over here that distracts me.

I guess it is about as busy as usual, but I have been somewhat busy doing other things too, so am not where I usually am on earnings.
