What Would You Do If..

Last time I had crossed the payout mark in just one and a half month.
I was so excited that I resolved to achieve it in a month.
But now it seems it would be possible for me. I got too busy with my offline works and could not be active here as much as I needed to reach the payout.
I have yet to make around three dollars.
What would you do if you are in the same situation?? Is it possible to make 3 dollars in just 15 days here??

You know I don't write a discussion very often. I just don't like writing discussions. But I do make payout every month by about a week, each time. And no, even with discussions, I don't think you can make $3 in half a month.
I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you it was possible.
Just do your best. Even if it takes you every two months to make payout, that's still pretty good, don't you think?
Making payout got a lot more difficult when the owner cut our pay by 58% last year. I used to make $10 to $15 every month. Now, I'm lucky to make over $5 in a month.

@porwest I missed being on myLot several days this month when I couldn't see even pressed against my laptop screen. I just reached $5 yesterday.
Pretty just shakes her head when I tell her I've reached payout. She thinks the $5 is useless... It's what I can add right now.

@DaddyEvil Time for me to write one of my "What's $5 worth" posts so she can read it. lol. $5 a month is $60 a year, of course, and it starts to add up. If you invest it, it's worth $63.60. lol
Ask her if you handed her $60, would she scoff at it or scoop it up?

I am not stressed. It is just a matter of competiting with myself. I'm happy that everyday my earnings are going up; though by just two or three cents. With this pace it would take me months to reach my goal. But I don't worry

I think you just come here and enjoy the discussions and responses.
There is not much use in getting into a despair on falling short of the payout mark.
Technically while making 3 USD in 15 days could be possible but it is much tougher than before and well, it would mean incurring a big cost.
Are yiu ready to manage that?
I think with your day to day busy offline schedule, that would not be practical and you would feel very stressed out.
So better to come here & enjoy !
Just like Sachin Tendulkar left captaincy of the Indian team to scale new heights and perform well!
(Just an analogy!!)

I understand. Actually we don't earn here.We spend more and earn much less.
In 2011-2012 we used to get much mods for recieving each like and each comment.
I'm just competiting with myself. Last time I hit the goal in one and a half month. This time I'm trying to accomplish it in just one month.
I'm not stressed. I'm just playing it like a game.

I think you earn much more than me. Everyday you start at least three discussions. On the other hand; I lack ideas. However I remain active here everyday.

As someone who makes 5 in a month, consistantly. Yes it is. You just have to hope enough people respond, and try to get in on long discussions.

I think one a month is very difficult and takes multiple posts each day

Many users reach the payout everyday. Last time I hit it in one and a half month. This time I'm just trying to reach here in one month.
But I'm happy.After all mg earnings are going up everyday by two to five cents everyday.

@porwest OK; I will. Around a month back I had responded to three or four old posts; but received no comments. I checked their profile. A couple of them were inactive. They did not have any new posts. The rest two also did not comment back.
Still I'll try again.

@Shivram59 Here's a little trick. Go to older posts of people who are active that you haven't responded to or read and just go nuts. Suddenly you have a lot of activity going on and the pennies just roll in behind it all.
There are millions of posts on this site, so it's not like it's hard to find some you haven't read or commented on.

Many here get paid every other month rather than every month. Try not to stress over it if you can, just post what you can, when you can.

@MarieCoyle I want to be determined; but a very tight schedule does not allow me to be. However I'll use every second of my free time to interact with my friends like you.

I am not stressed. Its just a competition with myself and I'm trying to defeat myself. I know if I succeed; I would get only five dollars. This time I want to reach the payout in one month.
