myLot - make friends and money at the same time

Everyone knows the social networking giant that started the whole phenomenon of social networking in the first place - MySpace. I mean who doesn’t have a mySpace account these days. I reckon even my Granny has a mySpace account.

As with everything though, once someone comes up with an idea, there are others out there who can take that idea, re-mould it and produce something that functions in a similar manner, but is 100 times better. I’m referring of course to the new generation of social networking sites that allow you to earn as you use.

One such site is myLot. On myLot you earn for participating in discussions, leaving comments on blogs, or photo’s and leaving comments on you’re friends sites. Unlike some of the other paid to socialise sites you might find in your search for an additional stream of income, you are not paid for people viewing your profile or pages you have designed. In this program, the work you need to be doing is participating - in other words, socialising.

So what does myLot have to offer the travelling individual? Well pretty much the same as you expect to find on any site that centres around social networking. There’s the ability to make new friends. I’ve only been on for a week and I’ve already met a few people. We all seem to read each others discussions and take part.

There’s the ability to link your existing blog into the site for greater exposure. Just be warned though, they are pretty tight on the type’s of blog you can link, so please make sure you read through their TOS on their site. This log for example has not yet been accepted as it is to young and does not yet have enough content. But rest assured it will be there as soon as I can have it linked.

The payment schedule for tasks seems a little ambiguous, I haven’t been able to find a schedule on the site as yet and am still awaiting an email to advise if where I might find such a beast. But I’m just having some fun while I fill in time on their site.

To enable you to earn a little more without the hard yards, they do have a referral program, and you get to earn 25% of whatever your referrals earn.

One last thing that I have say that I do like about this site, you don’t have to wait until the end of the month to discover after all your hard work you have added another 25 cents to your kitty, they actually update the earnings from the last 24 hours on a daily basis, so you can see your balance growing each and every day.

If you want more info on this site, head over and have a look around. This is one social networking site that I think I’ll stick around with for a while. The number of members is low compared to some I know, but to me that just suggests plenty of room to grow.
