Mylot earning rate changes later in the month?

United States
August 22, 2008 8:33am CST
Does anyone seem to think that as the month end comes closer, mylot pays less for your activity? I ask this because i have had days where i did 15-20 posts and made over 30 cents..then the last cpl days i have done the same amoutn and made less than 20 cents. I have checked and none of them are deleted, all have more than a sentence or two and most are on topics with lots of replies so i would think all of them would constitue earnable posts. I just think its odd that after the 15th or so of the month, u seem to earn less each day for the same amount of work.... Does anyone else see this and feel the same way, or am i just nuts?

Hi there faln_angel1205! I don't really think that that is how it goes here at myLot. Well, at least that is what I believe in. I have been here for more than a year and there are days when I get more and days when I get less. I practically earn a certain average here daily and I haven't seen any difference between ordinary days and that when the month's end comes closer. Well, I guess nobody can really tell how we are earning here. Only the admin knows..

I am slowly starting to see that, but there are ppl here that claim to hit payout every month or even as much as 40 dollars in a month, its not enough to quit your job but would be nice to have a steady amount of any kind coming in from doing something i enjoy. I think this is why mylot doesnt give a specific rate per post so they can change it at their own leisure...not exactly a good trait for a site of any sort...yet here i am still posting away..lol

I notice that when before I got paid a bit for making three or four lines, now I have to make five or six or more to get the same results. So I figure it has gone down a bit. It may also because of the confusion as what myLot pays. I have been told that they do not pay for comments, they do pay for comments, it does not matter how long the discussion is, it does, and all the other rumors, so when one decides that maybe just rate, we do not know that the reason for the low pay that day was because we only wrote a four line post, only responded, or did not comment. And unless you are only here for fun and really do not need the money (even for snacks) you do not want to take a test to find out. And since I find it hard to make discussions longer than five lines, it is hard for me.

Because I just posted 1-3 posts per day in the past few days, I know myLot does not change its paying method. I still get 0.01-0.03 per post as the previous everyday in myLot. I think it is no need to worry about that. Just keep on myLotting.

I just joined MyLot so I don't have anything to add right now. I am looking for something to just "add" a bit of income. I am an Avon Lady and I make a fairly decent amount of money, but if I can type and make extra that will be great! I'll let you know how I do!

Mylot will also look at the quality of the post, someone can ramble on for a full page without actually saying something usefull or make a very good post with only 2 or 3 lines. It could be that some of the replies you posted where rated lower because mylot didn't find them as good as your previous responses. Perhaps people start making more short responses towards the end of the month because they want to make ends meet and reach payout, and the quality of the responses goes down because of that? It would be akward if mylot actually decreases earnings by the end of the month; I personally can't find any evidence but thanks for pointing it out.

Great point made, most likely my view on it is just my habit of doubting online sites...yet i get so addicted to some of them, makes no sense..lol

It's a good thing that you don't trust any site just blindly, there are a lot of scams out there and questioning and discussins is what mylot is all about . If you need payout proof you can check out my discussion, I've posted a screenshot of my paypal in one of my discussions. Have a great day!

Well i still dont know if they decrease or not, but i can say this for sure, the discussions that someone starts that get lots of replies is where the money is..lol. I started 3 discussions yesterday and one (this one) had loads of replies and i made over 60 cents, thats double almost triple my usualy daily rate, and i didnt do anything extra from my usual days it was just that i had a topic that got replies..so now i know what really brings in the money..thanks all for your awesome replies.

You may be right as you have observed it. I dont know much about it but I think it does not change as it was like that many of other users could also have detected it and it could have brought down the reputation of mylot. They are genuine, they pays, I am ot paid so I think if they are genuine they should not do it intentionally, may be content of your post did not attracted them as much as earlier so they paid less. Also they paying scheme is not known to anybody.

I have just had a look at my account to look at my daily earnings in previous months, and I can see no evidence that they are any less later in the month. Each day is different at myLot and I have high days and low days, it's no use trying to figure it out. MyLot usually makes adjustments near the end of the month, and before payout, and I have had as much as one dollar added to my earnings between updates. Daily earnings are shown just as an estimate and are not fixed until we are paid. I don't mind if I earn 12 cents or 72 cents in a day, because it averages out over the month, and I still make enough to get paid every month.

i don't think it is, i am sure it doesn't change on certain days. i know mylot have their own system on how we members are going to be paid. i know that what we earn will only depend on how we work, so let's work, let's post and post and post and wait till we get paid (neildc @ red/89/1690)

Yes I think it is true. A few days back I got 1.12 for my activities at my lot. Yesterday I have done more with a view to cross the pay out limit but it was hardly it was .82 against my expectation of more than 1.5. I think their might be some criteria to slow down as more more people would try to achieve their targets of pay out. I can not say it can happen in a system or the system has been prepared like this. Any body if have any idea please explore and tell us.

Sometimes I feel this way, but it may also be due to some technical problems. There are days when the level of my activity isn't that great yet myLot pays me a lot. SO I think that the rate is still the same as before. But there might be some delays so the adjustment of payments is also delayed. That's just my optimism speaking though because I'd hate it if the rate is now lower!

The amount of my earnings changes according to the time I spent here. If I am free I will be here for long hours, if I am busy I can't come here often. I am content because it is the only websit I know can earn money, and I only earned forum money before I came here. It also bring happiness and knowledge to me.

I'm a newbie around here, so I actually didn't realize that. Well, I supposed because we dont know how my lot calculate our response (no regular basic so we can count our self), it's normal for you to feel that way :D
