Earning updates not making sense at all...

September 9, 2009 2:10pm CST
Within the last few days of trying to be a little more active on here I noticed something a little off about my earnings. For example, Saturday night I worked on here for a couple of hours. Sunday night, I didn't work at all on here. My earnings show up that I worked sunday. Also I worked tuesday night but maybe for about 20 minutes. I should of atleast earned maybe a couple of cents and it shows absolutely zero earnings for that day. Is it me or has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Actually I have no idea how much mylot pays per post. I do know they pay with participation and tasks. I did notice the same like one day i was more active but the stats were lower than the previous day when I had not been as active. I don't know - it is weird but mylot doesnt have a payment structure so I guess we won't know.

Yeah, I kind of liked it when I knew how much I was getting per post and response but I also like the whole participation thing now. I don't like though when I feel like I've worked forever and some days am paid less. Thanks for responding:)

I think the payment structure depends on how active you are as a member. It's kinda like one of those things where they pay you more per post if you participate daily. Well, that's just what I think. It would be nicer to know whats the cost per post but then since they stopped paying a fixed amount per post then we can only guess. Some say it's .0001, some say .01...i just keep writing either way hehe.

ive noticed that to I dont get what mylot is doing latley with there earnings why do they have to keep things a secret from us I think we have a right to know exactly how much we make here. Is it that hard for them to tell us I think it would help everyone out if they told us exactly how much we were making per each post.

By keeping it secret, it kinda helps stop people from exploiting the system. I mean, if everyone knew exactly how they calculated it, people are bound to find loopholes which could lead in MyLot simply shutting down. And we wouldn't want that, now would we? They have a right to keep it secret because, after all, they're the ones paying us for enjoying ourselves!

I have noticed quite a bit of strangeness myself. Not quite like yours, but strange nonetheless. I guess the most important thing for me right now is that I qualify for my payout. I'm not really worrying about the "AMOUNT" anymore, as long as the amount that I end up with before the end of the month is over the minimum payout amount of $10. If I don't reach that, then there's always next month. Mylot, I've been primarily using as the site where I socialize and cool my jets for a while. Occassionally though I might recommend some of my sites to newbies or others that simply ask. I enjoy helping people and so if I know, then I prefer for them to know.

I recently started, and have realized that there is just no way to tell how much you can make here. It's kind of up in the air. I know most sites that pay for participation actually go off the amount of views your content gets. So it could be that your views were higher on Sunday than on Saturday. It is weird though because I've noticed that if I do absolutely nothing one day then I get nothing....so that would account for the no participation. You could check the FAQ section I remember reading something about "why aren't my earnings updating" I hope that helps!

sorry to hear that..but for me i have not even gone to details from many days...actually i am too busy to check all the things, trying some new sites of earning...and also busy in the forex again...so even i get very little time to respond here, though i am trying to reach 10 this month, i come whenever i have time...i am on 8.88...so as soon as i come here...mostly i come through my mailbox...and start responding...so i dont have to add anything what is going on in earnings section...but after reading and responding to your discussion i will surely go once to check

hello happymommy3, maybe because their cut-off time is different from what we know, that's why you are having your earnings even you did not work or do anything for that day. anyway, what's important is that every post you make is earning. not paying attention to that. just keep on posting and trying to make better earning this month. happy mylotting.

Hi, I think you earnings for the previous day is shown , like when they say Fridays earnings it is actually Thursdays which is shown on Friday. I too have seen that some days my earnings are not what I had expected it to be and some other days I see an increase in my earning. So it is alright as long as we get our dues its o;k. I dont think that any body is sure as to how much we get paid per post nor the criteria for the payment..

I have not noticed that but sometimes my earnings are paid after three days especially at the weekend.I really think you have to put longer discussions on otherwise it does not add up to much.Thats if you only do a few.

I have noticed that now that I have earned my first payout I do not seem to get paid as high as I was. Also there are days I am not payed at all. I like to come on and see what others think though so I am here, for now.

This happens to me many times as well. I think its probably due their updatings, they can be slow sometimes, so don't worry over such issues as you'll soon be paid what you should be paid. If lets say you're not paid for a certain day in which you post, its common that you get paid on the day after next in which you did not post at all, its just like bring forward your payment. So you actually need not worry so much as long as you're paid eventually.

I myself have noticed some fluctuations in the earnings on here from time to time but nothing that has had a major affect on it. I don't know if maybe the system itself isn't quite right or what but I do monitor my time and the earnings I attain.
