Trying to reach my payout.

Pot of Gold - My pot of gold

I am trying to reach my payout of $10 here at Mylot. I can not for the life of me see how some people can do this every month. I have spent as much time here as I could and It still takes me almost 3 months to make a measly $10. That's about 33 1/3 cents per month. I get so absorbed in reading the comments that the time flies by and I don't like to repeat what everyone else has already said. Maybe I spend too much time reading? Oh well, I still enjoy this place and talking with everyone. I just would like to know how everyone else does this? Are you making it to payout every month or are you just happy to be here, like me?

I just broke $3 last week myself. I doubt I will ever make it to where I reach payout every month. I have been trying to be more active and I am making more but it is still only like 6-8 cents a day. On the weekends I don't always make it on at all and if I do it's only for a few minutes. It is harder to post when my husband is off work because we are usually out and about. I find myself reading the comments too. I have been having a hard time finding discussions to post on lately. So I end up reading a bunch of discussions but not posting. I am not going to answer if I don't really have something to add.

God evening Kowgirl, It took me 6 months to reach my payout. I did not spend to much time though, but now at this moment I have already made about $1 since my payout of $10 was made on 15 November. It is possible to make however, you must be effective while you here and do some participation in discussions or start them your self. I have noticed the more interesting discussion you start the better responds you get and your earnings seems to be added up. Here is what I do once a day. I log in every morning and start one discussion, answer some old once, respond to a few of my friends discussions and that´s it. I login every evening and respond to my started discussions response. Every day I do the same. Ok, it may not be much of payment if you calculate, but I just don't do this for the money, I do this because of the fun. Have a great evening.

I dont worry about the payout anymore I am just here to have fun make a few friends and promote a few programs mentioned on my profile page. when I make payout it will be paid. I wish I had the time and referrals here to make 100 a month but I don't. If your interisted in some of the other programs I am promoting check my profile Have a good day

Yeah, I'm with you. I've been on here forever and I haven't even earned $2 yet! I come on every day and comment on one or two things, but I feel like you'd have to spend all day every day on here to ever make any serious cash. Meanwhile, I joined SendEarnings.com a couple of days again and am already up to a little over $6. So I'm not looking at MyLot as a big earner anymore, just something to do to pass the time. After all, I used to spend a lot of time on Yahoo Answers, commenting for free. So at least here my two cents are actually worth two cents. :)

Do people actually make that per month? I have been here since July and just now made it to my second payout, so unless they have very awesome discussion starters and do a lot of replying to theirs and others discussions, I can't see it happening. But I love it here, for I learn and teach others every day. If it wasn't for mylot friends I wouldn't have the info that I have today..

my first month here I made just over 10 dollars, and my second month I made 20 dollars for the month. I know it can be done if you have the time and patients.

on Yuwie you need active referrals otherwise you wont make a lot. ON Rotatrix referrals are nice but not needed. I cant say yet what you will or can make yet on a monthly basis but I do know that will depend on how active you are

I have a question for you, do you have active referrals? That may be why because the only referral I have is not active at all, so when I get my payout is from myself only..

It took me 6 or 7 weeks to make the $10 payout. Seems my discussions aren't real popular therefore I don't get many responses. Makes it harder to earn the payout amount. Am beginning to think either my life is boring or my discussions are boring and on the dumb side...lol I am happy to be here and find the site to be very interesting. I also spend alot of time reading discussions and responses.

Yes... I am like you. I come here a couple of hours a day for the fun of it... not for the money. I only get a pay out every three months. In fact... I am about to get my fourth payment in 11 months. And I have made a total of $56.00 in that time. Not very exciting... is it?

What PomPom says is absolutely true. People who "try" to make money here are barking up the wrong tree, but if you enjoy myLot and like to read and learn and share information with others, then earnings will sneak up on you when you are least looking. It has to be enjoyable or it doesn't work.

I sure like that pot of gold on your picture, but that is not going to happen here on myLot. I am not able to make payout every month either. I wish I would, cause I like getting paid. But I am here for the fun and I like meeting new people here too. I think that is also the whole reason behind mylot

Yeas I am doing my payout every month, but jsut those $10. I think I can make more, if I will just make more responses, but how you said, the time fly and I like to read other people responses and till I go through all of them, i find out it is late at night. But i think till you enjoy it , there is nothing wrong about how you earn or not, but also I am sure every little extra money help.

HI, Kowgirl^_^ It took me two months to reached payout here but then I raised it to $20:P It may sound weird but people who earn the most in here (exept those who have many refs who work for them;)) are those who think very little about making money with myLot. For real. I'm enjoing my time here and I hope there and I hope I'll stay here for long:P

Hi Kowgirl, I have WAY too much time on my hands, so yeah I make payout each month. I read a lot too, and Im off and on here throughout the day. I just try to go through the comments with no responses, then my friends then I do the follow up comments. I try to get new discussions taken care of first. I have a system with my picky self. lol Bay Lay Gray xx

Your not on your own doll.reaching payout i hear works better if you get lots of referals.if you enjoy being ere forget the money,just enjoy the site.my advice would be to stick all your junk onto ebay.com,people put all kinds of junk on there amd get some mad prices for it.my cousin just brought an old picture of a dancing girl from a charity shop and put it on auction for 99pence and got £75pound for it.ebay is also having a massive 10pence sale on,wich is a good chance for you to get rid of all your junk,bits n pieces,nick nacks,you know what i mean? take care doll.lee.

Maybe if you post more. I think that I am going to try to post at least 5o times a day. That should get me somewhere. I really want to make payout at least once by the end of the year. I know its a tight chance, but I want to make it. If I can't make it at the end of the year I guess I will just have to give up on the site all together. Thats not something I want to do.

It took me three to four months to reach my first payout. I do not achieve payout every month. It takes me around three to five months for me to reach my payout. I do not spend time on myLot everyday. I had been member of myLot for the past one year. I am looking forward to spend more time in the myLot in the future. I would be happy if I reach payout every month.

you thats a tough job. you need to have a lot of patience and a lot of time to reach the payout..lol!...moreover whenever you resolve to reply to a lot of discussions and spend less time in reading the comments, i am sorry to say your resolve fails..and thats very irritating. but nevermind, keep on trying and one day u'll reach ur payout unless you get so impatient that you leave mylot for good.hehe

Yes, i agree with you as it takes a hell lot of time to reach our pay out here in mylot. For me i am very busy and i hardly get time to log in and do mylotting even though i really enjoy doing it. What i really like in mylot is clearing our doubts regarding anything and also helping others in their doubts. For me the earning is so slow as i got very little idea to start discussion. Anyway happy earning here in mylot.

I haven't yet. I've only done it once but that's been because of me for a while not being active. I mainly was focusing on freelance work and that's about it. It's not easy to do so. I don't have many referrals and just got one and that's about it. It does take a while. I don't think people are saying it's easy. Some either really have a lot to create discussions and such. Me, I just try to do as much as I can. I've never made $1 a day on that. That would take an extensive amount of time but I can't guarantee I can do that. That's what I think anyway. I just try to be on whenever I can and if I have ideas, I'll post some.
