Some people consider that mylot is work because we are paid if we use this site. I used to consider mylot as a work until it became a hobby for me. Now it's not work anymore. Before I used PTC sites and they were all work for me. Is mylot a work for you? Or it's a hobby? Or maybe it's a paid hobby.

@lyndakerby As a business student 15 years back, we were always taught about maximizing profit. And in my personal life, I think of time lost as opportunity cost. I dont want that thinking anymore. There are things that make us happy more than money.

It is more like a passion to me because I love writing and love it even more because it opens doors for new friendships

It's more like a habit.

@dya80dya I would say both habit and hobby with a desire to earn a few pennies to buy a treat.

i do say i earn from mylot but not for working. i think even those who are retired and active here don't treat this as work or a job.

@dya80dya mylot is an online hangout for me to see what's up with everyone. sometimes i participate, sometimes i just read, like and observe people.
if this were a job, then i would have been fired a long time ago. a job means you are required to be there at specific times, have specific tasks to do during your shift and your output and performance evaluated. you can't apply all that here.

This site has never been about money for me. I come here to have fun, relax, and interact with the many people I have made friends with on this site. To me, it's about the relationships and interaction. The money I earn is just icing on the cake for me!

I take it like playing a fun game which pays you for participating; definitely not work.

I don’t see it as work, I just enjoy meeting new people what we earn is simply a small bonus for that!
