We Get Additional Cents For Best Response?? What Do You Think?

Philippines
October 31, 2009 7:04am CST
This is actually a newbie question, I am smiling while making this discussion. I am just being curious if we get additional earnings if in case, the discussion starter mark our response as the best response? I became curious became just today, I received two best responses from members whom I responded and upon checking my earnings, from 8 cents, it increases to 12 cents, an increase of 4 cents. So two cents for every best response. I actually do not have activity for the last day but ny earnings increase.As far as I know, when we are marked as best response, are ranking or our star increases,but I am still not sure, i'm still trying to discover it or experiment on it.What about you?What is your insight about this?

Hi rberson, Your conclusion is right, today I got one BR and increased my earnings by 2 cents. In the morning my earnings were already uploaded and after getting the BR it increased by two cents. I heard it earlier that a BR is earning one cent but today only I came to know that it is two cents which is good for us. I hope you are happy and I too happy. Have a great weekend.

Let us make a good response all the time so that we will earn more. The happiness for getting a BR is an extra bonus.

Wow! that's great to hear. So we can now conclude that when we are marked as best response, we get additional earnings for that. It is really great. I think I would prefer responding to discussion now rather than making my own discussion, lolI will make it sure that the starter of the discussion will choose me as the best response in his/her discussion. Just imagine, if you will be getting 10 best response in a day, you will get an additional earnings of 20 cents,on top of your earnings for all the activities you had in the site.

Happened with you too Sreekala! Wow, i must do something to get more best responses, this sounds like fun, probably the admin won't tell us what is going in their heads... hehe... but it is making it a lot more interesting, though i think many of us would not want to find out what is going on but would definitely like to have some fun earning a little mysterious way, making mylot all the more interesting.

Hi,i too understood from discussions of seniors like you is the best response mark is useful for increasing our rating.There are many up and downs in our payments,because while mylot administration filtering our participation standards,this is happening. Any how if Mysdianait,one of mylot member is on line,he will definitely attend this discussion and clear our doubt.Wait and see,i too come back after some time. All the best and have a nice time.

Most of the time they have maintainance during weekends. I have seen two discussions and they are complaining that they're earnings our going down. One possible reason in that situation is that some of their discussions and responses were deleted. Mine has increase, maybe in few hours, the earnings will go back to normal rate.But i will try to observe, if my earnings did not change till tomorrow evening, this only means to say or I therefore comclude that we can get additional earnings when we are marked by other members of best response. I think Mysdiamit is online now and maybe she is just busy responding to other discussions, I know when she saw this discussion, she will clarify to us. thanks for your input. happy mylotting!

Mysdiamait is online i think , i saw she responded in some of the discussions, 30 minutes ago. Maybe she is just busy in doing something now. I am also not familiar on what time is it in Italy now.I hope she can help us with this concern, i know she is the only one who can make it clear.

Good question! I really don't know. I've never paid much attention to that and I'm on here posting so randomly that I don't know how I could possibly figure that one out. I guess if I went for a while without posting and then got a best response and the earnings went up...then I'd know. I don't keep track so I don't know. Sorry rberon...not much help from here for you.

lolI have been here for quite sometime but I do not know about it. I hope someone will clarify this to us. You know why i am confuse? i do not have an activity yesterday and my earnings increase. Even it is just four cents, you will still wonder where it came from,that is why i came to realize that the earnings came from that activity.

Hi rberon. Well, if you don't really sure about then me neither. But, based on my past experience when I got best response and rating my star ranking is increase. A few weeks ago my star ranking is 8. But now its increase to 9. I glad its become 9 now and I hope it become 10 after this. Well, about earnings I don't sure as our activities affects our earnings and as mylot said in their FAQ that only they now the algorithm to calculate the earnings for mylotters.

rebron, I doubt that the star ranking increases when you get a BR. I have added many feathers to my cap but no changes in my ranking. Or maybe I have bad records that my star ranking is frozen.

Oh its that really happened. I don't about that before this. So, we get additional cents from best response which you said 2cents right. If that so, I think I also agreed that response to other discussions is better.
• Philippines
31 Oct 09
That is also what i know before, when someone has rated you as best response, you get your star increase in a few days, but i have discovered new things right now, we can earn when someone has marked us as best response. Actually,I have no activity for the last day, but my earnings has increase, and I checked on my best response and I got two today, and then i therefore conclude that we get two cents for every best response that we get. So I now, I prefer responding discussion rather than making my own discussion.lol

Hi rberon Well as far as i know seeing other more experienced mylotter's posts, i don't think the best response accounts for any kind of increment in the earnings... i am just saying as they said and i believe that is true, but i honestly don't know that much myself... well sometimes i have noticed something... my earning changed with 2 cents, it somehow increases without the earnings update, well sometimes i does happen that way in the middle i don't know why, small fluctuations with 1 or 2 cents... 1 cent at a time and it does not go beyond 2 cents in total, a little weird but funny though.

I also experience fluctations and increase even it is not the time to update earnings.But with me,its different, i have an increase not the same as it happened before just like 1 to two cents only, This time i got 4 cents and i do not have an activity yesterday. So i do not know where this earnings came. I tried to check everything. I did not even make mylot task, the only possible thing that the earnings came is from the best response that i got. But still i cannot conclude it is from that activity. I still have to discover it.

So far I don't think BR increases your earnings. It surely didn't when I was a newbie. Anyhow, today my earning increased by few cents too, but no BR was awarded to me. Maybe it was just a 'recalculation'. I hope someone will back me up..

Hmmmm...maybe you have a point, it might be a "recalculation"?But as far I know, they don't do it. what i am really wondering is that i don't have an activity yesterday, and the only thing that i have notice is I got 2 best responses today, that is why I came to conclude that the earnings came from those two activies.

This is news to me. I did not notice the increase. This week alone I got 5 BR. I am not that observant enough. Must check that out. I think my star ranking is doomed as it had been static for so long. Let it be..I enjoy the fun here.
• Philippines
31 Oct 09
Just like you, i am not that observant as well. It just came to a point that I did not go online and I happen to remember my earnings on the last two days, When I log in today it has an increase of 2 cents and then I decided to respond in one discussion, after few hours my response was chosen as best response and then additional two cents was added to my earnings. That is why, I came to realize that we get additional earnings in best response. But still i am not so sure of it, i still have to monitor my earnings until tomorrow and find out if there will be changes.

Well you know what, that'll sure be a great news if it were true (having more earning with best responses), I'd surely be happy if that's the case because I'd be rich for a month! hehee.. Kidding aside, I've always seen getting the best response mark as a compliment and a good motivation to do mylot, and I've been getting a lot of those and it would sure help if it did have a corresponding earning. But sadly, there isn't really. It's just a way for people to complement the responder who responded pretty well. But don't stop doing your best though, it's nice to get the best response mark anytime!

lolI became more confuse now. There is one responder in this discussion who has the same experience with me. She also get additional earnings when someone has marked her as best response. What I am curious of is that i do not have an acivity for the last day and i got an increase of four cents and which I do not know where the increase came from. And then I tried to check all my activities and then I saw two best responses, and then I assumed that it migh came in that activity, it is really hard to conclude, i will try to respond to other discussions and if i will be chosen as best response, i will monitor if my earnings will increase.lol

hi rberon You surprised me as your discussions never seem like newbies. I am an oldie I guess but I have always wondered'myself as I have seen nothing in mylot rules and how tos as to whether or not we are paid bor best responses so I have just left it up to the powers that be. I enjoy mylotting so much I just do not worry my head about that and go on doing mything.I sort of think this is something mylot admins just doesnt bother telling us so we discover fot ourselves.

lolI am not also so sure if the earnings that i got is really from best response activity or not.lol

I do not notice it as i think the earning of me today have changes for almost 3x, maybe it is just a recalculation too. I observe when i am making a new discussion my star rating changes but on the next day it would decrease again, then my rank in other interest also decrease even though i just made a new discussion.

You have the same response with the last responder of the discussion. He said that it might be a recalculation. Mine has also changed thrice this day, most of the time, the admin update the site during the weekends. I will still try to discover it, i will respond to some discussions and when i was marked as best response, i will try to check if there will be changes in my earnings.lol

I don't know whether earnings increase when receiving a best response but I can imagine it does. What other purpose would it have beside being an indicator of quality? As we all know the more quality comments we make the more compensation we receive. Quality goes above quantity in myLot. And rightly so!

Actually,we have one responder in this discussion, the second responder I think, conclude that she has also the same experience with me, her earnings also increase when she receive the best response today. With my experience, I do not have activity for the past one day, but my earnings has increase. It means to say that earnings came from the best response,but i will try to monitor my earnings till tomorrow and find out if this earnings is really for best response.

That's actually what I tried to say. There are strong indications that best responses are compensated as well.

i too think that that we will get an extra earning when we are selected as best responds. but this actually seems unfair as there might be more than one best respond but the user can select only one. so only that person gets the credit. there should be some provision for the user to rank each of the answers

Actually there are still other option aside from the best response,you can still give postive response,how will you do it? after the response of the member,at the bottom of it, you will see the + and - sign, you can choose the + rating if you really like the response of that member. I used it most of the time to appreciate the effort of the responder,as what I did to your response. You really have to think to whom are you going to give the best response.

hi rberon, I saw most of the responses, and most are unsure, I think one person responded saying it really increases by 2 cents.... I have not got many BR's so I dont really know...... I will try to get and check it..... heheee

I don't really know if you do or not but that would really be awesome if mylot did give us two cents for getting the best response. I've gotten a few of them and maybe they've been helping me out.

I always received such a kind of praise from mylot. But I can't notice if there is such an increase of earnings but whatever it is. This is a kind of gratitude to make us inspired for what we are doing here. It is a great honor if you received such congratulatory message because you know that your efforts is making success... Most of the time I am not aware about ratings and ranking. What I did was to participate in any discussion that I feel good...No matter to me if my response is rated high or low because I'm here is participate, learn, share and earn...
