I have been on myLot for a few months now. I have seen alot of discussions regarding earnings. I have no idea what I am NOT doing. How is it that I have only earned almost $4? What can I do to change this? If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I want you to SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!

Well, you need to type and type a lot by sending more responses to the discussion. You need to add photos to your topic and also get as many friends to join under you. Then you will see money roll into your account.

Thanks for your response. I didnt think there were so many different ways to earn. I am new at this so any and all information that you share is greatly appreciated. I would be on myLot without earnnings. Is it true that other sites are similar in this aspect? I wonder why they offer pay outs? You would think they would lose money that way. Do you know what the incentive is? If not, dont worry about it. Just like to get different peoples views on the issues. Thanks again.DL

dloveli, I wonder if it isn't because they have contests going on with other sites like them? (I have no idea of another one though.) They want to be the best maybe? What better idea, than to pay your users. Maybe they get something for being the best, besides self satisfaction. Kind of like us! :) B

goldwin, I still have not seen where it is you add the pics to a discussion... :( I really have been looking too. Maybe my problem is that I don't have it on full page most of the time. My email always is but not this. Can you post photos here in a reply also? Thank you for your help. I have sent a friend request. B

Consistency is the biggest thing. You get paid around 1 cent a post. So, posting as many times a day as possible will help. At my best, I was making $30 a month and I would literally have to post over 100 posts a day to make that. Right now, I am lucky if I make my $10 payout every month. I just haven't been on here as often. Essentially that's how you do it. What I do is I start off with posting a discussion. As people respond, I answer their posts. Then I start responding to my friends posts. When I am done there, I then go to the discussions with no responses and begin posting there. That is my strategy.

I have a question for you. Do you lose the $ if you don't make it to your $10 payout at the end of the month? That would not be good. Pls. let me know. B

I have a question. I am notified through my email when friends have started discussions or responded to a discussion I have started. ALot of times I will select "view entire discussion through the email and answer it from there. Am I getting credit for it even though I contacted myLot through email notification?

Thanks for your help. Its funny when I first came on to this site, I was looking for a discussion group for my pet.lol When I aske the question thru ask.com this is where they sent me. Boy was I glad. I really loved myLot from the beginning. I wasnt even aware that they paid you for anything. I still dont really understand why they pay us. When I find out, I pm you and let you know. You could also start a discuaaion and ask the questions you want answered. Hope I helped. d

tanurarneja, I have no idea how to pronounce, wow, a mouthful. (I read aloud as I type) I have a question... You said you have to give best reply... You mean give or GET? I haven't gotten a best reply yet. Even when I'm the only one who's answered! So that means I really have to choose which of my friends have the best reply? That is SOOO hard. I don't like to be put on the spot like that, or to hurt other's feelings. Please let me know. B

Thanks for your comment. However, it has come to my attention that you yourself are not aware of what the whole thing is about as well. Listen and learn my friend. Thanks again for you help. NOT. I think you need to start sharing some of your funds. Mothers are forever. Lunches are not.lol

Hi, Sorry I am so late getting back to you. I am off on a different subject... You have seen Jasmine's website? I just can't believe how much artwork she has, and some are just beautiful. I don't know how she can put so much expression in their eyes. Sooooo Talented! If you don't know it, I will look it up for you and post it. So let me know if you would like it. The only thing I wish she wouldn't put her name embedded all over the pictures... I like to put them in books like scrapbooks. I will have to try to find where I found that pic. Or I'm sure you can just save it from my photos. If your daughter would like it. Have a great day! B

well, you only have 138 posts, and with the $4, i think that is already a lot of money. you have already earned more than 1 cent for each post. so you should consider yourself lucky. just keep on doing what you are doing, just start discussions and answer others. and don't use 1-liners, they don't matter. i am on my way to a 50$ payout. and i am excited. just a few more days, i hope. take care and God bless! :-)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! and I truly mean it. I never thought of it like that. How do you do it? Any thing you want to share? What can I do to be a better myLotter? When I found this site, I wasnt even aware of payout or anything like that. This is all new to me. Is length a big issue? I noticed you warned against 1-liners. Whats up with that? Thank you soooo much for helping me understand things a little better.

hi friend, I earned my first pay on 14th this month which reached on january........I have been here 5 months now and have been responding to discussion and also starting new ones of which I can see you are doing. May I ask you one thing.....Do you also upload photos or images? try adding images to your discussion and also upload photos to different categories and not to your photos: there is a difference between the two. when you upload pics to your photos you dont earn anything but when you add photos to discussion and interests you get $0.01. Good luck friend.

$4 is not that bad , i made $1.05 in 4 weeks so you are way up there,it is tough to come up with fresh new topics, the most weirdest I noticed get the most responses and the most serious ones (like the economy,or the war in Iraq or Afghanistan Or national healthcare,just general issues at stake)people just don't care about!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I feel so stupid! This whole internet thing is new to me. I cant even understand why they give us cash in the first place. I just like meeting new people and talking about different things. THe earnnings are just a bonus.

yesterday someone answered this perfectly. Let me go back thru my responses and I will let you know which post. They had a lot of helpful advice. I think getting referrals would probably help a lot too. It hasn't worked for me yet. Good luck! B p.s. I like your icon. I really like Jasmine-Breckett-Griffith (sp?) 's work.

Hi dloveli...in my opinion,just keep doing on mylot...if you take the earning so serious...maybe you can get nothing...take it easy...at least,I got less than you .
