Hi. I have been with Mylot for over a year and it is so hard to keep track of our progress here daily because of the 24 hour wait period. Don't get me wrong. I am not here just for the money but it sure does help since I work from home. I would love to be able to track my earnings more often here and I think it would get alot more people motivated here. Would you like to see your earnings increase throughout the day? I sure would.

I would like to see the earnings in real time but doubt it will happen. If you get a chance, I recently posted a discussion about real time and had some very interesting responses that you might want to read. There was some concern, by myLotters, about accurate earnings by making the site in real time. MyLot might have to make changes and remove earnings because of a deleted discussion. I am all for it though if myLot agrees to go this direction.

Twice a day to update the earnings would work. They could post earnings in the morning and adjust and update later in the evening. If a discussion has been deleted, adjustments could be made within the later update. Would be a great incentive, I think. Where's Crash when we need him..lol

Yes. they could always reverse the earnings but at least we could track progress as we go. I know some of it depends on the revenue the site earns also, but I think they could at least update twice a day. that would be better than nothing ro the 24 hour thing.

Same ehere with me. They could adjust the earnings later for the posts that got deleted etcetera. If they would update twice a day, that would help out alot also.

I agree. It is rather hard to track what you are earning for which action on this site. I have been keeping track for a few days now. Big pain in the butt.

Yes. It is time consuming. If our points were added for posting and responding then it really would be a big issue. We could track better that way. It wouldn't be precise as to how much we will make, but we could get a rough estimate.

Yes. I know what you mean. I would like the challenge also. I think we lose alot of our referrals because they do not see any earnings for the work they do for the day. I think alot of them think they are not earning anything at all because most do not know to check it in 24 hours.

I definitely would love to see my earnings change throughout the day rather than once a day. I agree I think it would help motivate more people to keep posting and stay here at mylot rather than going and finding a forum or site that will do this.

Amen to that. i think they should at least be able to di it once every 12 hours. That should not be a problem. they can make adjustments at the end of the day on the second 12 hour update.

It doesn't matter to me I guess. It would be nice for those that like to keep track diligently.,,,not me.. I think that it is most likely a program that they run once at midnight..central time I think. I doubt they will change it but it would be a nice treat.

I like that idea of every 12 hours. That sounds pretty good. Now if I could get my fingers used to typing on my laptop maybe I can earn some money...it's been so long I have been stuck at 1.47 for almost a year..lol But now I am back.

Oh wow. i am glad to see that you are back with us. you will definitely earn alot more if you are able to be more active here. I think we would all get more motivated if we didn't have to wait until the next day to see some of our earnings. I hope this discussion makes it to the Mylot digest so they can see what we all want here.

Yes. It would be a very nice treat for all of us. I would be satisfied if they could update it twice a day. Maybe once every 12 hours or so.

I see what you mean. It really isn't a priority for me either but it would be very helpful. We could track our progress so much better. I work evenings and nights through to the next day so it is very hard for me to track anything at all. I work one day and work through to the next day, go to bed and then do it again.

I think it would be a good incentive also and also give us more motivation if we can see how well we are doing as we go. they would see alot more quality here also. We would strive to do better if we could see the difference in earnings for each post or the amount of work or typing we do.

well, i agree with you my dear friend. but i just notice one thing in here. there is delay one day about my earning up dates in here. well, how to explain this? hm, on 2 days ago i just posting a little, very little but i got cents same as like i post many as usually. but yesterday, i post twice more than usually, i just got cents as like i got cents when i just post a little. i think there is delay 1 day in here. i really hoping in next on, mylot able to give updating of our earning at last really 24 hours if mylot could not give in each hours. as another example, when we were newbie in here, we would have our earning in two days next on. did you remember that?
• Indonesia
4 Mar 08
thats exactly i noticed in here. many new members getting disappointed when they could not see their earning on the next day. they should wait about two days to know how much they earn. do you think mylot using delay one day caused they want to assure how legit each posting that the members submit in here? if thats so, i just wish mylot has another way to check out each posting of each member rather than made delay of earning up dating. what do you think, my friend?

I think they should check new member posts alot quicker also. New members get discouraged quickly and they think the site is a scam so they leave and never return. they need to see some earnings quicker.

I think there is a one day delay here recently with our earnings also. Mine has had the same problem. My earnings usually update every day here for the work I did the day before but in the last couple of days, I have noticed a one day delay. My referrals are leaving because they do not see any earnings throughout the day and they get discouraged and they think Mylot is a scam site.

I would love it too because I try to reach a goal here daily and I would not give up until I reached it. I have done alot of work here recently and thought I did really well, but when the earnings updated the next day, it wasn't so well. I wish we could see as we go so we know in advance. I would settle for twice a day to update. that is better than nothing.

I know sites like Gather updates through out the day, so you would think that MyLot would be able to do the same thing. I'm just glad they update every 24 hours and not once a week or something like that. Probably if they did that though, we would see them decrease throughout the day too!

I think so too. I am glad they update once every 24 hours also. It is better than nothing. I wouldn't mind seeing the ups and downs really. I think it would make us all be more productive and more cautious as to what kind of discussions we respond to. I think my referrals are getting discouraged not seeing any earnings at the time of posting also. Most do not know they updat one time every 24 hours. I cannot contact some of them either because they did not accept the friend request yet. They joined and left.

LOL. that sounds like my luck. I have 21 referrals here and only two of them do anything with Mylot. 99% of them joined and left the same day and never came back. Most didn't accept my frienship either so there is no way to contact them. I have contacted some of the other ones but they do not contact me back.

I was going to say that they probably can't do that because of some discussions that get deleted, but I guess they could and if they find a bad discussion, just take away what that person earned on it.. Good idea, steph, you should suggest it..:)
@stephcjh (38473)

Yes. Exactly. Even if they updated once every 12 hours, they could always make adjustments in between that time if a discussion gets deleted etc. I hope they will do this for us. some don't want it done, but it makes no sense as to why not. I think some are just stubborn and do not see the benefit of it.

Hello Step, I am already fine with 24 hours earnings update. For me it would be more convenient and less discouraging to us. I know it could be a motivating factor to some to notice their earnings increase every after a few hours. But what if they would have lots of infractions during the day, we can just tell. So on the other side, it would also lead to discouragement. Another thing is if we do it on an hourly basis on real time, chances are mylotters will just spend their day configuring out how we get earnings, and there would be lots of complains as to why I receive high pay for and why I suddenly loss a cents, so there would be many issues and I believe it will be difficult to the administration to serve the best for us by then. They will not be able to answer lots of complains.
@stephcjh (38473)

Thanks. I think twice a day would be satisfactory also. It will give alot of us more motivation as we spend alot of time here each day as it is. I hope you have a great day also.
@stephcjh (38473)

Very true but it could actually let someone know sooner when they are doing good or bad. they would have time to make a change before the next day arrives or ends. I know Mylot is busy to do what they have to do for us daily, but I still think they should be able to at least update twice in a day for us.

Well person do varies, some people do easily get disappointed when got infractions especially those who only come here for money. I would agree if done twice a day, but not every after a few hour or every after response or discussion we post, I do think mylot do analyze carefully each of our discussions and responses that is why sometimes we get infractions. So it would not be best to be in real time report, but twice a day will not be bad. Have a good day!

I don't really mind it the way it is now. I kind of think that if people could track their earnings throughout the day, then somehow people might figure out how to take advantage of that.

I guess it would be kind of nice to be able to see what we earn updated more often. I think like a few other people mentioned, every 12 hours would be good.
@KKKBsmom (1092)

This would be nice wouldn't it. lol But I have learned that when I get on in the am... just a couple hours before is when my earnings were updated! SO basically when I log on in the am, I get the earnings from the day before when I went to bed! I have been watching it for times the last two days and both times have been my time at 6:30am!
@stephcjh (38473)

4 Mar 08
Yes. It sure would. I am always in bed when mine updates. I usually work online from about 4 or 5 p.m. until about 8 a.m. the next day, plus get things done offline of course, but I never get to see my earnings actually update until I get up to work again and some of my earnings I earned for those hours are carried over to the next day so it is very hard for me to keep track of since they cut the earnings off at a certain time.

i would love it if they updated at least every few hours. lets face it the people that come here and stay here aren't here for the money. i think the money is nice and it goes to my paypal witch is great cuz i love ebay but we don't make enough to come here just for the money. i do how ever think it woudl help a ton to see it updated. i know in the morning when i see it has been updated i think oh i did better then i thought or i didn't think i did that much. i think it would really help and the new users i think would learn faster as far as the one word answers or one line discussions.

I think so too aretha. sometimes I feel like I am not racking up the points, credits or the small change for my input here and it would be nice to at least be able to track it every 12 hours instead of having to wait until the very next day and then it leaves us wandering what we did or didn't do to earn the amount or lose points, etc.

I work from home too. I can see your point. May be a good idea for some. Especially since it seems like quite a few people ask alot of money questions. We earn one way or the other. We earn some money. I don't have a preference how it shows up to be honest. As long as it does. That's the important thing.

Yes. That is very true. My issue is that I start working online one day and work through the night to the next day and the earnings have not updated for me during that time...When I get up I see earnings updated but it is a new day for me and some of my earnings I earned from working prior to getting started again, have not been added yet because they carried over to the next days update because I worked past Mylot earning cutoff time.
