Maybe you just need some hardwork. I actually want to earn more in this site. I just earned 0.51 in my 4 days of stay here and I actually find that money already reasonable. I think we have to put a lot of effort in this site so that we will earn more cash! :)

I became a member just 5 days ago and currently i already have $1.20. Usually i have 8-10 responses every time i log-in to myLot. How many comments or discussion do you make each day? Usually the computation on every discussions made or comments is $0.02 each, so if you have 8 a day then you'll probably earn $0.2 then in just 5 days you can earn $1 already. But of course this patterns does not goes to everyone, myLot looks after the content of your response, comments or discussions. They check if there are any responses on the discussions you've started. They can give you $0.02 each or maybe higher, it really depends on them. But for my experience you don't have to worry about the numbers of words or sentence you make in every discussions or responses you had 'coz they really don't look at it.

My earning hasn't updated yet but i assume i already earn $1.6 or above since I've made few comments last night and early this morning. Right now i'm joining few discussions again so i assume to get the $2 earning by tomorrow. You just have to be patient and try joining discussions that is inline with your interest so you won't get bored by giving comments. Good luck!

You can't really make money here if you post 2 to 3 a day. You need to do to earn some here is not increase your activity like posting more comments and discussions. I posted 30 to 40 comments a day spending 1 to hour day. Within three weeks of posting comments and discussions I am now reach the minimum payout and sure to receive payout on the 14th of November. I suggest you to increase your posting. I'm sure you earn more here if follow my technique... Have a great day!

Just be patience. It take all the hard work to earn money here. My tips for you. 1. Make a quality discussion. This will bring a lot of response from my lot user. And something like "Is this site legit or scam" won't help much in your earning. I see you had a good discussion so just be patience. 2. Respond back to all the people respond to your discussion. It won't make your number going up but it will help in your earning. I see you reply some of the respond which it is good, but it will be better if you respond to as many comment as you can. 3. Use the search bar. But just don't over do it. Your reward will be credited when a pop up appear saying you receive a reward. 4. Do some task. Just do a simple task. Not much but it does help in your earning. That is all I can help you. Happy earning at my lot.

You cannot make much money in mylot.I am making maximum of 5$ a month which i think is small. If you work u can make more than 10$ a month. but it requires hard work.If you are ready to work that much you can earn more. If you earn fast it is better to work in some other sites too. Also you need to add more referals

HAHA , :D you don't really have to do 50-60 response. just select on things you're interested at and focus. the more you're well informed about the subject , the better .so you can respond to the discussions. :)

You've done 59 posts and made 84 cents. I'm wondering how much you expected to make for that amount of work. You're still new here. You'll soon get the hang of how things work.

When I was newbie to mylot I experience similar to what you have now. You need to know more how mylot works if you want to earn more here while participating to other discussions. First, you should know that we are not here mostly to earned but to make friends all over the world. Second, the number of your post is the basis of your big earnings. It means even you post a huge number of post there's a tendency that you earn less. Third, never post any referral links because it will fluctuate your mylot reputation. What should you can do to boost your earnings? Be sure that your post has a minimum of 4-5 sentences. Your post must have a quality, meaning you have an idea on the discussions you are going to participate. Never post or response to a discussions that you think you don't have enough ideas to share. Never count on the quantity of your post instead count the quality of your post. Never violate the guideliness of mylot.

MyLot is a slow earner, but it doesn't pretend to be a get rich quick scheme. It takes me months to reach payout, but that doesn't worry me - in fact the less I worry about it, the quicker I earn, for some reason. MyLot's a fun place to debate ideas, learn things and find out about other money making sites (both the genuine ones and the scams). I treat the occasional $10 dropping into my PayPal account as a useful bonus, but I don't depend on it.

Furst off I suggest you read the Mylot Guidelines. That will help you understand why you aren't making money and how to make money here. It also helps if you spend more time on Mylot,if time permits. these are my best suggestions and you are probaly going to get the same responses from other Mylotters! Happy Mylotting!

I did 64 posts the other day and got a mere 10 cents. It's ridiculous. It used to be better here.

Hi melanierg! I would say just a little patience since you are quite new here. You can upload photos, use the search bar too because all these activities pay you as well. And just continue to post more and obviously to comment more. Your earnings would grow steadily. Otherwise, you may wish to familarize the faqs and see where to maximize your earnings. Good luck!

You will make money if you keep responding to others discussions. Don't simply answer with one or two sentences. Make sure your responses are several sentences and they answer the questions that are asked in the original post. I spend more time answering discussions than posting my own. That seems to work better for me. When someone does respond to your discussions or your answers on a post try to take time to converse back with them. I have noticed that keeping the conversations going on the discussions seems to help me make more money. Don't give up. You can make money on Mylot. You just have to learn the ropes and keep at it. You can also make more money by completing tasks and by adding a pertinent photo to your discusssion.

you need to really get on here and be active. 50 is not a lot for a month. once you start making some friend and even better inviting your friends to join. which you will then make 25% of what they make then you will see that you are making some real money.

It is rough to make money on here. I don't recommend breaking your back to do so. Don't sweat it, you will make money in time, but this is a penny time money making deal and you have to put A LOT of effort into it for it to be overly productive. And I do feel if you did reach that kind of pay on here mylot would cease to pay for using it.

When you first start out, you won't make all that much, as it does take time to make anything at all. Really though, we aren't supposed to talk about our earnings in here as that is a violation of the terms of use. I have been here since last year, and I haven't made a lot but it has added up in the end. When it comes to discussions and such in here, they should be quality, be descriptive and have substance. Also, anytime you start a discussion, it is in your best interest to comment back to any responses you receive, as you don't get paid for the responses, as the ones who responded do. You only get paid for what yo9u do. I have seen some that will just let discussions go and not follow up and they wonder why they don't earn. As far as our earnings are concerned, we don't know what myolot pays us as it is a secret. I can tell you this though that yyou need to be active and participate in order to earn. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

By looking at your number there-you've only made 50 responses. Just give it a little more time and effort, and it'll go up.

I think the mainly function of mylot is making friends and communicating here.The money we can make by it cannot be very much.If we only think of making money online,we will lose a lot of fun here.I enjoy myself on mylot.So,enjoy yourself.Having fun is more important than making money.:-)
