Hello everybody! You've probably already noticed some exciting changes to myLot. This is the discussion where we'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about our new earnings program. Pasted below is the myLot Mail announcement being sent to all of our users. To All myLot Members: Notice something different? Today marks the beginning of a new and innovative program at myLot. Each and every myLot member will now be compensated for his or her contribution to our community. That’s right, you will now earn money simply by using myLot! In fact, most myLot members have already earned money for their past contributions. We know that our members are myLot’s most valuable asset. Which is why we are rewarding each and every member for helping us make myLot successful. So how do you make money? It’s very simple. Use myLot as much as possible! Start discussions, respond to discussions and post quality content. Our proprietary compensation algorithm will then determine how much money you have earned on a daily basis. We will pay out earnings monthly, with the first payout occurring on or around September 15. All payments will be made via Paypal, so you will need a valid Paypal Premier account to receive payment. More on this, as the time for that first payment draws near. You will need to earn at least $10 to qualify for a payout. If you’ve earned less than $10, those earnings will carry forward to the next month. So how much money have you already made? Just login to myLot and visit the home page to find out! Some of you have made a little. Others have made a lot. We have also made an exciting change to our referral program. Now, for every myLot member you refer through your myLot referral link, you will earn an amount equal to 25% of his or her earnings as well! Imagine the possibilities. They truly are endless. The more people you refer and the more they contribute, the more money you will make. We encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity. Remember, the more you contribute with quality discussions, the more our community benefits. The more our community benefits, the more money you will make, and the faster we will grow. So we are in this together! Finally, you will notice a new site design and layout. As we continue to develop the myLot product we hope these changes enhance the usability of the site. Thanks to everyone for your wonderful contributions to myLot. Now, tell everybody you know about myLot, and let’s grow this community together! Sincerely, myLot Staff

Hello - The site looks great! It's changed so much - albeit gradually over the past few months, ut it's all good! I had a few questions to ask you, though: 1. How much are the rates for responses? 2. Do the rates vary depending on volume of participation? 3. Do you pay for posting questions as well? 4. In the My Earnings Page, is the amount reflected the total payouts given throughout the whole course of participation, does it only feature the unpaid amount? How does that work? This is really a great development. Good luck to you! Best regards, QnAQueen

hi mylot! thank you so much for the great info i just know. so it means that the more quality discussion you make the more you earn. but i have a question would the discussion to be opened and the rates of it the same compared to the responses? or is it just higher from the rates of responses? or is there no money at all to the discussion opened? only in responses? i really dont get it clearly since i was out 2 years already. sorry. i have another question, how do i know that the amount comes from certain response? where to find it here. i search and just couldnt find it. and what is an rss feed? how to make a blog?

This is really great guys! From now on, I am going to ask all my questions on myLot and tell all of my friends and online buddies to do the same... Think about all the possibilities; discussions on cars, recipes, remedies, home-repair, etc. Wow!

So, you have some algorithms that determine the rate of a response. Thats good to know, but i have a query. Are these algorithms done by the machine or by the staff of mylot ? Well , i beleive quality of posts can only be determined by a human and not by a machine . So does this mean that every post being made on mylot goes under the scanner of a human eye ? If yes, then it really good, because quality posts must be rewarded and appreciated. This can make a differnce between serious posters who contibute to make a social service and the persons who post just to make money... Keep up the good work and from what i infer is from the population of 12k+ with in a couple of months that this site has already been a huge hit in a short period

Hey guys, on the home page underneath my earnings, it says "Last updated 5 hours ago". How often will you update earnings? Thanks

Jihad This!
Hello Mylot. How do I send potential new users to go directly to the signup page? When I use my affiliate URL, it takes the potential new users to the homepage...which is awesome, but I'd also like to send visitors directly to the signup page. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance. EZEdgar

I have only sent one referral to my friend and he used the link I sent him and signed up on myLot. My earnings page still shows 0 in my referrals and he doesn't show up on my earnings page. What could either one of us have done wrong if the referral url doesn't work?

I notice that hundreds of people respond to garbage questions such as "what colour are your eyes, what is your favorite number, ect." And not as many peope respond to quality questions. I sincerely hope that people with quality questions, and posts get more than those stupid questions.

Can you tell us some reasons our earnings go down? Also, Do the reputation(stars) have anything to do with our pay?

Every new member should be asked to visit this site, ater they go through Mylot, privacy, terms, about mylot, earn money,RSS, Toolbar, Disclaimer etc. It is in their own interest should read this so that many of their questions are answered. If not on the first day, they should read this site on 2 day. Secondly, myLot is doing excellent according to me. Day is not very far to watch site being exploded with people's participation from all over the world. It would be interesting if you can make a data presentation on 1. No. of people visited so far 2. No. of discussions started 3. No. of answers to the discussions 4. Who is who (Indians ?, Africans? USA? Only numbers and that will give vague idea as to what countries myLot has not reached and we can do something about it.

My I suggest a chart which shows in detail how people's rating increase. I read the way it works and basically it says all you have to do it post new threads and respond to posts. But I'm just looking for more detail on the way to earn points thanks swolecat

I added my first referral yesterday and was expecting to see him in my referrals list and my earnings page after todays update. I sent him a link to my referral url and he assured me that he signed up through that link. Did we do something wrong? Is it possible to connect him as my referral after he's already active?
