Making Money with myLot

United States
November 26, 2007 10:41am CST
Being here excites me. I love writing posts and commenting on other posts. I read through myLots inforamtion and FAQ but, I am still wanting to know more. What makes you money here? What is the fastest way to make money without sacrificing content? (I won't go around commenting without having anything to say). I like the idea of getting paid for good content and I think I remember reading somewhere that this happens, but how is it determined? I don't have people to refer is that going to make it hard for me to make money? Finally, is making friends important to making money? And if so, how does one go about making friends?

You make money when you post a discussion, a comment or a picture. How much you earn for that is unknown as myLot does not reveal its calculation method. Friends does not directly increase your earning but helps you to get responses to your discussion and discussions for you to comment and make money. Referrals, if they are active, then they will help you earn some.

I'm new to mylot, too. But I know that you get money for discussions you start and responses you make to others' discussions. For each post you get from 1 cent to 5 cents based on your reputation. You won't be able to see your reputation before you reach 100 posts. Once you reached the 100 posts goal, you see a star beside your name and a number in it. The number inside the star is your reputation. The lowest is 1 and the highest 10. Your reputation reflects the quality of your responses. So you have to post detailed and quality responses. The higher your reputation is, the more money you can get for each post. Also, you can get 1 cent for each photo you upload. You can get 25 percent of your referral's earning as a bonus. But I have no idea whether having a lot of friends here helps in getting more money. Good luck!

Thanks, It is great to know that putting effort into a post will get you more money (even if it is really over time as you build a reputation). I belong to another site that has a lot of people posting one liners that aren't really any good, just because of the incentive. Things like, "Great point thanks for sharing!" or "Great article!" It is a little frustrating, especially when you just wrote a whole paragraph or two and got the same reward.

I am one of the oldest member of mylot, since then i have never felt that they are scam, infact i have received so far $55 from mylot and happy with what i have made so far from mylot, I am happy to know that who are excited to be a part of mylot, as you had said about referral, i had really hard time in getting referrals but that did not stop me from posting discussions and replying to my friends discussions, making friends is not at all important in making money, but it would be helpful in only one way, when you have friends and you post a discussion, your friends would reply to your discussions and thats one way of boosting your money.

Thank you for sharing how much you have earned. I enjoy doing this, commenting, participating, writing, so it is likely that I would do it even if there wasn't a monetary reward. But since there is, I have been very curious about it. It is nice knowing how long you have been here, what your score is, and how much you have made. Thanks!

You are paying just for responding to other people discussions. Also you can add some image to discussions you make and if you will reach 500 posts, you can add image to others people discussion. The earning depepnds on how long is your response and probably how origimal it is. But how much it is, noone find out yet. Also i read here you can comments other people blogging, but I didn't try yet.

I am also new here, but I think only huge posts and discussions each with some more lines will bring for you more money. One line response will not give you much earning. Try to response at least 5 to 6 lines and if can more lines then it is best for you. I read until we reach to 500 point will not allowed to cut or copy and paste. Until we earn 100 point cannot see star marks in beginning of ourID. We cannot post photos until earn more point. So try to respose elaborately and try to post question and select best response that solve your posting then you can earn much money here.

I can't seem to help but write more then a single line. It seems that I write more and more. Do you know if you can make money by posting pictures? I don't think I have seen very many yet.

I guess it all depends what you are looking for. I have been a member at mylot for a long time now, and I guess I never was really that active. Now I really want the pocket money so I am doing my best. I really enjoy the discussions here because they can be imformative and you can talk to other people. I am trying to get atleast 25 posts a day starting today and I hope to make it. Its hard for me to fit it all in with my busy schedule, but everyone has to make time right? Remember, myLot isn't only about the money but the friends and discussions you have. Soon you will realize that.

I realize that it is about the discussions and the friends (I joined Gather too, which is much the same way). I am just looking for things I enjoy that will also bring in a little money! Thanks for the comment and good luck with the points.

Yes, I think so. If you have more friends here, at least your post will be likely to be responsed. As long as your new discussions get more responses, that means to say you will earn more.

You earn money from starting discussions, posting pictures and responding to other's discussions. How much you earn (or if you earn) depends on the quality of what you post. I would think that one-line responses won't earn much, if anything. But a quality response that shares info that hasn't yet been posted will earn you more money. I do have to say that much of the info posted here is worth reading. I have read a lot of threads which I didn't have anything to share, but the info was worth reading. Good Luck and enjoy!

I glad to hear that you are excited to be part of Mylot, but I don't think you're going to like the fact that you have to work mighty hard to make that $10.00 deadline that they give you. I believe you only get a penny for your post and comments only. I have been trying so hard and I only have made $.28 cent for everything! My husband thinks this is a scam! Better luck to you!
