I got paid!

United States
April 1, 2017 10:23am CST
Now don't get excited, it is not myLot money. I know some of you think we might get paid today. Maybe, maybe not. I write for a friend's travel blog. I only write one article a week, which is fine, it's just enough! When she asked me if I wanted to write for her she said she would pay me the 5th of each month. The last few months it was sooner than that. I was happily surprised this morning to get a message from PayPal saying I have money. I enjoy writing for the blog as it gives me a chance to share things that I've learned over the years of traveling with a pet. I write mostly about places or restaurants that I have personally visited. I also do a few product reviews when I feel the item is something great. I love the fact that I can put as many photos as I like! Each article has to be at least 350 words and I usually hit 500-600 depending on the day. So, now I'll ask the big question - do you think myLot will show the green dollar signs today? Photo is mine. Taken at a rest stop on our way home from Maggie Valley, NC. Ruby is waiting for her Pop to get back to the car!

I just received a rather large unexpected check in the mail yesterday, a refund on a deposit I had made years ago and had completely forgotten about! Let's just say it made me quite happy!

@AbbyGreenhill Because it was a deposit I made many, many years ago on an apartment I lived in. Apparently, new owners took over the property and they were auditing the financial records and realized that they owed many people refunds on deposits. I have no idea how they tracked down my current address, but I am happy to receive the money!

I think I would enjoy your articles. I do not get to travel nearly as much as I would like but I do like to hear about other places so that I'd know what attractions and restaurants to visit when I do go. I am glad MrLOT is working out for you!

Congratulations. It doesn't matter to me when myLot shows the green dollar signs this month because I don't have enough in my account to get paid.

You did not get me with your title. We are never paid on Saturdays and Sundays, so I was sure that yesterday we would have not been paid.

@AbbyGreenhill I remember in Bubblews, when someone said he/she was paid, everybody rushed to ask when, how long it took and so on.

@LadyDuck I think many realized the title didn't mean here, since I"ve done the same thing other times.

Probably won't be seeing the dollar sign on mylot today. Have they ever paid the first of the month?

Sweet Ruby. How great that you write a travel blog and get paid, too. We've done quite a bit of traveling with the pups. Leah is just awful about car rides but Sally does well.

@sallypup They said to give it to her an hour before a trip. I took it a few years ago and it did nothing for me at all.

Ruby is not good in the car at all...she paces and pants. I am going to get Melatonin and see if that helps.

@AbbyGreenhill We tried both benadryl and melatonin with Leah. She got sleepy the minute she got out of the car. During the car ride?? Plenty of zip- lots of paw slaps to me the driver. Not at all good.

It's nice when we are able to share our experience through writing and get even paid for it. Payments improve our motivation to write even more.

Since we don't get paid a bunch of money it's still nice and it's even better to chat with so many people from all over.

That's great if it shows green doller sign today for you people but for newbies like me it will take long time as by now my account is about to reach 1$. ?? Desperate for my first earning here.

He is such a cute dog. I loved him. Writing as a guest blogger must be something you enjoy. Even I like to write to blog but I always get blanked out when I start. There are ideas running in mind but unable to put them out on a board. I must be lacking a guide and knowledge of blogging. I will work on it anyways. Keep writing and keep earning.

When I get an idea for an article I start writing it and save it....then 3-4 days prior to the day I post I pick one from the saved ones and refine it and save again. Then I publish on Wednesdays and start over again. I have three started and saved right now.
