Did you get paid by MyLot today?

Today was one of those days where I DID realize it was the 15th, and that I would probably get paid by MyLot. Even though earnings are down, I was able to make payout last month, and I probably will this month as well, even with my pending trip to Montana. As a former Bubblews member, I am thankful to MyLot for the fact that I never "wonder" if I will get paid, so long as I reach $5.00 in a given month. It's not the money that matters. It's feeling like the world is (at least somewhat) a predictable place. That's psychology right there. People who feel the world is at least somewhat predictable and somewhat controllable experience less stress and better health. This afternoon, I teach at Guitar Center. My students will learn something. I will have fun with them. I will get paid for my efforts. So are things as they should be for you on this sunny and warm afternoon? Are you doing things to keep your stress levels down? And your sense of predictability and controllability up?

I am a creature of habit and I don’t like a lot of change. It is nice to always be able to count on Mylot coming through with their payments to us. Bubblews was such a letdown.

It was a frustrating place to write. I limited myself mostly to drivel for the last few months there.

@TheHorse I hated just writing drivel but I didn't understand that that was a site where most people just seemed to want to write and read drivel. I was trying to establish myself as a freelance writer back then so didn't want to just write a bunch of drivel. Oh well, it's all in the past and I am happy here at myLot.

Our village is having a bus trip tomorrow to a small town near where we're house-sitting so we're thinking we'll join our friends there for an hour or two. We'll pick up some groceries while we're there.

As long as you have reached the minimum amount of $5 before the last day of the month in question, and you have given myLot your PayPal email address, you will automatically receive that amount on or before the 15th of the next month.

Look up "variable reinforcement schedule" if you want to go down a not-too-deep psychology wormhole. Getting paid "most of the time" can lead to a "high rate of responding and resistance to extinction." Think slot machines.

My earnings have been down all year, and instead of making payout every month like I have in the past, I have only been making it every 2 or 3 months. I'd rather have the consistency of cashing out every month, but I also have to accept that I am not on the site as much as I used to be. But I was happy that this month happened to be one in which I had enough to make payout, so no complaints from me!

Yep, thanks to myLot I got my money and it on its way to my bank. I am quite upset with another former paying site Virily. They appear to keep a hold of all my former posts for what reason I don't know. Admin has long stopped anwering people many of which are here on myLot and they stopped paying ages ago. However, the site still exists and appears a few are posting on it and how it remains in existence I don't know but I would be happier to have my account deleted and then I usually refurbish my former posts and can use them as I need them.

I agree, it's nice to have predictability. Depends sometimes, as you also teach music, I do too, and that for me is very unpredictable as they will cancel at last minute sometimes. Sometimes I don't mind the cancelation, but I do mind when they wait till last second and beyond to let me know, since it wastes my time dressing, preparing and waiting, and then change out of clothes again when in home studio. Speaking of which, when you posted this on Tue, that was may teaching day with the cancelation. It definitely is less stressful when knowing what to expect. I teach guitar as well, mostly piano. Nice to run into a fellow music person.

I am lucky (right now) to teach at Guitar Center. If someone "flakes," they are still charged for their lesson, and I still get paid. If I open my own studio upon retirement, I will have to consider how to deal with clients who are not responsible.
