Hey mylotters, it's payday!

I just logged in and noticed that.
Up until last fall? I did make the payout most months--I know I went about a year or so with hitting it monthly. Then we had the whatever it was we had, and it takes a bit longer now for me to do that. Since then, I am averaging a payout every other month, unless I get lucky or work hard at it. My time is often limited due to other obligations, so that's not anyone's fault but my own. I honestly am not here just for the money, but for the interaction and the people, anyway.
At one point a few years ago, I let my earnings build up and saved it all for something I wanted--needed, actually. I haven't done that since then, but I am contemplating doing that again.
Do you move your earnings out when you get them, or do you save them up in the mylot bank for something?

You have to do what you think is best for yourself.

There are days I just don’t have any time to be here for more than a few minutes…my life is not my own! But I agree, the interaction is the most important.

It gives you a chance to post more recipes to irritate Chicca, more chances to give investment advice, and more to tell us about your bargains and your camping trips. See, it's worth it!

I used to get payout every month, but it has been just over a year where that hasn't happened.
It used to be that I could hit payout with spending lots of time on my weekends and a little after my long day at work, but that no longer holds true.
I always let my earnings build in my paypal account and then order my hubby something from the Lions website, as he is a fan, and they take USD which I do not have an account for other than my PP.
Hopefully I will make it for August, I have alot of work to do in the next week or so to make that happen, as the last part of my month will be busy off line.

That's really nice, that you spent it for something he likes so much. He is the lucky recipient when you get paid!

I let the money build up in PayPal and then every so often I transfer some to the checking account. That money goes toward meals out. Have a good day.

I joined mylot three months ago. Yet to earn my maiden payment. I see the journey would atleast take another 3-4 months for tht with the current rate. I do not intend to increase the number of responses or discussions per day. I limit my time in mylot and also do not want to have the quality down. I am impressed by many who state they get paid every month or every other month. I am not sure , if over a time , the mylot reputation would help in getting a better rate . Any case, I am planning to redeem the earnings as they come and not save them in the mylot bank. It may help in covering my small expenses.

I completely understand. I limit my time here as well. I hope you have enjoyed it here so far!

Well, MyLot pays on the 15th of every month, right? But are they now paying on the 12th of the month? Because I have read a couple of discussion here and there discussing if anyone was paid or not. But the 15th of this month is yet to arrive. So I was a bit curious if MyLot has changed the pay day.

@MarieCoyle I'm sorry to ask, but what's the difference between payday and technical payday? Do the calculate and finalize on the 12th and pay on the 15th?
Yeah, I'm aware of where to check our earnings. I do keep checking it often. However, I'm still quite far away from qualifying for a payout. I'm trying to make it. But I don't think I'll reach there even in the next month.
. . . but like you said, I'm not here for the money either. At the moment, I have no choice but to let it build up in the myLot bank @much2say (54916)

@MarieCoyle I wonder if the algorithms changed any more here in recent times . . . I am not kidding that even trying to get a couple pennies is a far stretch for me lately. Not that it really matters, but you know.

I completely understand. Sometimes, it's just not possible to have much time to be here.

Some days it’s kind of strange, yes. And then there are times when it barely moves and I go to sleep or I’m away for several hours, and I made money. Not a bad thing!!

I have my paypal address linked to my account, So I get paid when I make payout. I often need the money, which is why I don't let it build. Those payments help pay for things like monthly subscriptions to streaming programs.

I think most of us here can relate that the money is much appreciated. I know you always make the payout, good for you, Kayla!

It's not always a monthly thing for me, either. The upside of that being, I get it the next month!

It's there, and the second month it's nice to start out with a balance sometimes!

I had to take two weeks off of mylot so I didn't get to make it this month. I'm only on here once a week.

I don't get a payment on purpose as I am competitive with myself to earn more money each month and then that would cause me anxiety.
and I don't feel comfortable having my Paypal address or however, they pay in the system,

I have never heard of one single person's paypal account being compromised in any way through mylot. I think it's very safe.

I am like you, I make payout about every other month. And even though the amount we earn is minimal these days, I still come here daily because I enjoy the interaction.

I have a busy schedule.That's why I can't spend sufficient time here.It takes me three to four months;and sometimes even five or six;to reach the payout.But I love my lot and enjoy interacting here.
