Welcome to mylot! That is not bad for a newbie. Keep on posting good/long discussions and responses so that you get higher points. Once you reach 100 or 200 you will be able to use emoticons and upload images which can increase your earnings as well. But you should not only concentrate on earning. Learn to enjoy your stay in mylot and make friends.

First of all welcome to Mylot, and I hope your experience will be a good one. Second thing is what a nice photo of the dog, is it yours? To have 20 posts and .29 in the beginning of joining Mylot is good. What you need to do, is start great discussions which are descriptive and interesting to readers. Every time someone responds to your discussion, you will be compensated. Give quality responses to discussions that interest you. One liners or one word answers or discussions will earn you probably nothing. Just like this discussion, you have one line, thanks makes a second line, you probably will not receive anything for it. If you have pictures to upload, do so, as long as they are related to your discussion. I am sure there is more, other Mylotters, will probably fill you in more. Good luck

Welcome to Mylot fasttalker, it is just a case of posting posting posting, the more you post of course the more you earn, you are doing ok for a newbie, if you are prepared to put in some time, but the most important thing is have fun with it and you will be able to post more...

Hello there new friend. Welcome to mylot and fist of all, let me say that mylot is a very fabulous site filled with great interests and networking with friends. In this site, you can find out just about anything at all from awesome sites to just about any news at all. Feel free to ask any questions and any member would definitely be more than happy to reply. A good tip would be to stay away from too controversial topics because you might not know when the discussion's going to get deleted and it would be a bit of a waste of a time in that sense. But other than that, I find all mylot members truly helpful and it's awesome to be a part of their lives like finding out about their latest developments and stuff like that. Keep your answers long and descriptive so that more people would love to get to know you more as a friend. Happy mylotting and take care.

It's pretty good on your second day being here. You will be able to make it to the payout if you chose $10 within this month or next month, depending on how much work you do on here. But the longer responses you give by answering to what people posts, the better. Another thing I read on here from someone who have been doing this more than I did was put up some new discussions everyday like 4 at least and each time someone respond to you, respond back but don't make it short. For example, depending on what the topic is, ask them about themselves like for example, what they want out of this. What do they really want to do with their life, etc. I hope you get the idea here. There are endless ideas on here and I recommend writing them down in a notebook where you would be able to see them when you can to get some ideas on making more on here. I am almost close to the middle of the amount to reach payout this month. If you do this everyday and do what you have to do of what I told you, you would be able to reach payout sooner than you think but also do other stuff to make even more income. Don't just do one site like here but work on others to make even more money. I hope this help you somewhat. Let me know if you wanted some more idea coming from me. Oh yeah. One other thing. Since you might like to write on here, I have some other places that you can get paid for free of writing. Let me know if you are interested in that and I would be able to help you from there. Later.

Your welcome. I'm more than happy to help. I now have $5.11 and I would be able to make the cashout payment thing. There are some sites I can refer you to and join it if you can. I can't post links on here when it comes for me to get referrals to join under me so there are places I know of where it's no need to get referrals. First one is ehow. Ehow.com is a nice site to join. This one lets you reuse your articles to post it at other places. I am less than $2 away from reaching the $10 payout with them. There are so many that I know of, it's funny. If you want, email me at lauriehomebusiness@gmail.com and I can give you the links to join me doing. It is free to do and such. Oh yeah. Yesterday, I got accepted to be a writer for examiner.com email me to get the other links.

Great ideas! I will definately be using some of your ideas and would be very interested in the other sites. Any other ideas you have are taken with gratitude. I'm looking forward to any other ideas you hae. On day three I am at $0.63. I know you all probably don't want to hear my earnings but I'm having a blast with this thing! LOL Have a great day all!

Good day! You can post as much "quality posts" as you can :D That's it and have fun. Try to aim for 50 posts a day. And make sure you use your referral links ;)

LOL So go to "earning" on your myLot page then go to "referrals" tab. You'd see a link there, mine is http://www.mylot.com/?ref=oyenkai or something... yours would be something similar. For how you can utilize your referral links, look at my blog. It's not the first article you'll see (I just wrote about Free Text Search in SQL Server earlier today for my own reference haha) so Find (hit ctrl+f then just type) "fund raising". Then when you're there there's a How you can earn part. or Find again (hit ctrl+f then just type) "referral link". You'll get a good a idea at how to do it. Have fun!

Hi There. Ok here goes the real newbie signs showing but I'm not sure what you mean about the referral links. Please explain?

sounds pretty decent with your number of post at present yet you can do more with such posts alone, specially when you don't have any referrals. i could make no less than 0.50 cents with the same post you have (i.e. 20 posts). the technique lies in making quality and relevant posts and stretch it that you could reach at least 5 or 6 lines in each of your post or response. stick with the rules and read the TOS so you won't be deducted of your earnings. avoid posting with just thank you alone and with single or two lines response so you can maximize your earnings with one effort. the highest that i was able to achieve was $1.29 when i posted about 30-40. good luck and happy myLotting.!!

Welcome to mylot. Earning that amount of money especially from a beginner like you is indeed very good. I have a few tips though that i hope might increase your earnings more. Post relevant discussions that contain four to five lines, or even more lines. The more the responses in your discussions, the higher the earnings. Invite more friends because they might respond to your discussions. Also try to join more discussions and again try to make your responses long. Mark the best response in the discussions you posted and tag your discussions.
