I joined another site maybe last summer, and during summer break I determinedly got to the payout of 10 dollars. It was a big pain (I don't like surveys, especially when I have to take them all in Japanese, and most of the subjects I'm not interested in) so I just went there a bit during the last year and poked around, getting a few cents every time. I actually forgot about it for several months.
Most people I know who are not from an English-speaking country have said they get less for each task than those in the US, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and NZ. I didn't realize that, but upon comparison with those people I realized this group is not great for people in other countries. Japanese apps for me are working pretty well, and I've honed them down to the few that are easy (i.e. more than .01 yen for a task).
I decided it was a big waste of my time so I would get to payout and then stop doing it. So today, got to 10 dollars, now I can relax and forget it. Yay!
My time is precious. I would much rather spend it talking to people here. I would much rather spend it studying, reading, bicycling, etc. than poking buttons online! My mind is precious too, and I don't want it to be polluted by some places that have questionable ads and interests.
How do you budget your time and energy, online and in the world?

Exactly. I also love learning and I need to spend more time doing that.

@petatonicsca that is why I am choosy with the sites that I join. I have wasted time in surveys already.

Yes, it wasn't all lost. And I learned not to waste my time.

I am only in mylot and neobux (where I play games when I want to). At mylot I am earning around $15 a month. But I´m not really interested in the money (that I save for vacations). The friends are the important part of ot all.

I'm so glad you're here. It's great having a friend in Chile. (Well, actually I have a real-life Japanese friend who lives in Chile with her husband, too.)

Usually there are many days I'm not on much when I'm teaching in real life instead of on line.

You're not missing much. I'm not in the desired group of people so as soon as it asks for my age I am usually disqualified.

@petatonicsca well so many people have privacy concern and they don't like to share personal information like age, family and relationship status

@SHOHANA That too. They ask many things that I think are none of their business.

I do online writing assignments so depending on how many assignments I have my money always goes up or down. I also enjoy getting the money from sites like this but the most fun is interacting with everyone online

I'm always curious about other sites but so far I'm just sticking to this one and a writing site.

I would stick with writing too. At least you are doing something productive.

Thanks. I didn't earn much per hour, that is certain.
