Are you earning more now than you did when you were just starting?

When I started with myLot more than a year ago, I barely earned $.20 a day. Yes, barely $.20 a day. Considering that I was very active then. Plus, my first few referrals were also active then. When I made a comeback late last year after being away from myLot for three months, I have noticed that I was earning more. To date, I am very happy that I am actually earning more than I did when I was just starting. Did I have to post more than I did? No, not necessarily. I practically have the same number of posts daily but I am definitely earning more now than I did several months ago.

Well, these days I make around .50 each day, sometimes less or more, it depends. I only joined late August but I am earning the same I earned last month, just about. I've been less active this week, but if I had been more active less week, I think I would have made more.

I dont reach .50 here these days, but way way back and i was very active then these days im no longer that active. I used to earn more than a dollar a day, my referrals are also no longer that active here on mylot.

well when I first started I was making 40 cents to 1$ a day... that has seriously slowed...but considering I have been here less than 2 weeks, thats not bad, but hopefully I can step it back up to 1.00 a day again :P lorl

I don't think so. I'm earning less because I do not have the time to spend here. And, I feel like when I first started, I was earning a lot more daily, regardless of how many posts I made than I am now. However, that's fine with me. I'm not looking to get rich here, I'm just looking for a bit of extra cash that I can use.

Yes, I am earning more than before. I have already mastered the way to earning more here. It is not just posting and posting new topics. That is not the only way to earn. There are a lot more. I also have learned it is the quality that matters more than the quantity. It also pays to be supportive to friends because by doing so you will earn supportive friends as well and they are the ones who will also help you get better earnings.

The quality really matters more and that is also one thing that I consider now. I would rather post few but with quality than more but without much quality.

Hi dolce! I don't know. I think that I am actually earning about the same amounts that I did when I started out. I have to always put in alot of time and do alot of long hours and lots of responding to make decent money here. I like what I'm doing so it doesn't feel like I'm really trying to make money. But, to be honest I am trying to make some extra money because I am not working right not. I am temporarily disabled so I need to use mylot money to help pay some bills. But, when I'm here I just have fun and I don't think about the money. I just let myself have a good time with my friends. And since I love to type it is just something to keep my mind occupied too.

I just joined a month ago and I am earning more than I earned today, anyway, I have never been so much active here than before. I have many referrals but none of them are active though.

Yes mine also improved a lot in here. i also did stop in here for sometime about three months ago. When a friend of mine reminded me to check on Mylot again and she claimed that her earnings did increase. At first I was adamant and slowly I crept back in and realized that my average earnings did get higher than what I usually earn before. But I haven't hit the $1 for one day of posting, I just could not fit my schedule in it. My highest foir one day though was 0.97 but I have not reached it for sometime already.

i think i can say that i earn more now on mylot than when i was starting for i reached my first payout (maybe) three or four months after i joined. i didnt bother that much that the earning was slow as long as i am having fun and i have someone to talk to when i am all alone at home while my children are all at school. but when i got my first 10 dollars i even dont know how to open money bookers or egold. paypal was not yet available by then. luckily a friend of mine told me that paypal is now open for the philippines and i joined paypal and got my 60 dollars earning in one transfer..... sweet. now that i know what to do and i have a lot of friends already i can always reach the payout every month. if not i make sure i get 20 dollars on the next payout so it feels like i reach the payout last month

I also got my first payment several months after I started out with myLot. I think that was how small I was earning back then...

I think everybody experiences such phenomenon, being new one needs to find their way here and in the process you don't see good money but once you've strike the gold mine, it will be the beginning of many unexpected returns. Though I earn much better elsewhere in the net but the magnetic effect is too powerful to make me glued to mylot everyday. I dare say that mylot gives me great satisfaction in terms of friendships and the exercising of the brain. At least it makes my brain work especially in this spontaneous responding of posts.

I actually got my first payout after like 9 months of being a member here... and that was how low the payrate was... but early this year the mylot admin increased the pay rate... and i was able to reach payout every month... without having any referrals... so i am definitely earning more... with less the effort...

When I started to join mylot, I only earned single cent and then I stopped because I told myself I can't earn that much here. So I left mylot. After 5months being away from mylot, I came back and so far the highest earning that I had was .80$. I got lot of referrals but I felt bad because they're not that active at all. The money I earn here in mylot is all by myself and no referrals. But hoping that one of these days my referrals will get active so that it will help with my daily earnings.

I think I'm earning at the same rate, because sometimes I only make $0.15 a day. Haha! But my earnings are more consistent in a sense that I don't get $0 days, which means that as long as I earn a little everyday, I can make it to payout. I used to receive payment every other month, but now I've made it to payout for the 3rd straight month! Yay!

yes i do earn a lot now compared when i started here in my lot. i earned almost 6$ i guess just for this month and i am very happy with it. its like some achievement for me. plus i only have one referral which is not active because she is busy. i am planning to make my sister my referral so i will earn double next month. i think my lot is helpful not just financially, but it broadens my knowledge on things that i don't have any idea about.

For me i think its still same. Maybe i will feel it if i was here in mylot more longer. I was now 2 months only in mylot. I don't have fix post or response a day so my earning is not fix.

It all depends. I am earning more than I did when I just started, but I am earning less than I did a few months ago. I am earning more because of the friends notifications that are coming to my mailbox, allowing me more time to read and respond, and making me need not look so hard for new discussions, but I'm earning less than a few months ago, because I don't have the free time that i used to have.

I'm quite despondent lately...several months ago, I was earning 4 times what I'm earning now per post. I was also able to earn from posting photos, now, this is not the case. Being on dial-up means I need to put in a lot of effort to get anywhere...friends who have joined after me have double the number of posts I have in spite of the fact that I spend several hours a day here. I'm glad that you are happy with the way things are going....oh, my one sort of active referral might bring me 5 cents a month, if I'm lucky.

No I haven't experienced the same, mostly because I am just really busy with life and can't spend much time here on mylot. I miss it from time to time and hopefully I could be spending time here again *laughs*. I am delighted to know that you have been earning more. That's really encouraging!

In my first two months here, I started to earn small amount. The earnings continue for the following months but remains to be small, but I was able to reach payout for three consecutive months. But when my services with the courier company where I was having my part-time job terminated last October, my earnings here became so small. I can barely get to the internet to log-in and post some with the connection in the office is so intermittent. Now, for two consecutive months now, I failed to reach the payout, too sad...

It is similar for me. When I started with myLot I have to be here for whole day posting to earn about $0.3. Now I have less time or maybe also less inspiration to write, so I make much less comments then I used to, but in spite of that my earnings did not decrease from the times I was here much more. So generally I earn almost the same like before but spend here much less time than before. I got also some referrals now who help me a bit but most of them are 100% inactive, so this is not big support.

The first day I started doing discussions, I earned $.02 only but on my second day because I was enjoying the topics posted by my fellow mylotters, I was able to reach $1.00 a day and until now I'm gaining that amount sometimes higher.^^,
