Well people have differant tactics as we all know but i have to say the easiest tactics i find here on mylot to make mon ey is to make your response long as mylot have already said they dont pay for tiny little responses only big ones like i type.I also try and get a few refferals under my belt although i dont have any i think it is a really good way to make some extra money with you earning 25% of what they earn.That would be really good if you imagine you had 4 active ones you would be earning double if not more as much as you normally do.I still have to use the mylot toolbar so i will make sure that i check that out later on my travels around this site as the site is quite new to me still although i do have a lot of posts as you can see.To get more resposes to your discussions then try and make interesting ones that everyone will like or find funny and make them to the point so short and snappy but always remember to type about 6 lines or more so that you get paid for it. Good luck with your earning here on mylot and i hope you enjoy it i know that i do.

Thanks alot for the comment, you just taught me some new facts about myLot that I didn't know about yet! The referral thing is a really cool thing, but I don't have any referrals yet though, probably because it's kind of hard to get any because the only ones I know on here are already myLot members! I'll talk to some of my friends and ask them if they want to earn some extra money, maybe I can refer them! I try to make my discussions as good/fun as possible, and also try to respond to anyone commenting on it, like this I just get alot more posts! Thanks for you comment & happy holidays!

The tactics I use turn a bit of money on myLot basically just consist of responding to discussions. I have only been on myLot for two days but I have been aiming to respond to at least 10 discussions a day. This is the easy for me because I use a voice to text program that lets me talk to a microphone and my words will be translated into text. Everything that I have written in this post has been written using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. I find this program very useful for myLot since it lets me type around 120 - 150 words a minute depending on how fast I talk. In my settings, I have also set my notifications to notify me whenever someone comments on my discussions, my replies, etc. I check my e-mail very often so I am able to continue to participate in discussions after I have posted my reply in them. Without these e-mail notifications, I would just be commenting on discussions and never looking at them again. Using Dragon naturally speaking 10, I have been able to write up this response in about a minute and 30 seconds. If I were to type this, it would probably take me 5 to 10 minutes depending on how awake my fingers are.

Thanks for the product review; I've been wondering about that software but I hadn't known of anyone who had tried it before. Annie

Whoa, that's actually a great way to write fast and comment on alot of discussions, I might try that sometime, so I'll even train my english speaking ability :) Thanks for the tip, if I may ask, is this software free, or does it have to be bought? Thanks for the comment, and happy holidays!

I believe that the software is somewhere around $100ish price tag. Amazon is selling it for like $40 (GOOD DEAL)! One of my friends lent me the CD so I installed on my computer and left it there. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 actually helped learn how to enunciate words more because you have to speak pretty clearly. The thing that I like about this program is that the more you use it, the less mistakes it makes because it adjusts to your voice. When I first got the software, it made so many mistakes that I just wanted to uninstall it but then I read abut how it makes less mistakes as you correct it. You can also add new words to the vocabulary (today, I added the words OnBux, NeoBux, and Triond) if the software does not recognize it. I found it extremely useful for myLot, homework, and doing anything. It increases productivity by 3-5 times.

I have friends, that's my primary method of getting people to respond to my discussions. That, and starting fun or interesting, but not really controversial discussion. I also respond to friends discussions and plus people that respond to my discussions and my responses.

Interests do work, if I see "cats" up in the interests I will check it out. I might not check out more broad interests, but "cats" is one I'm pretty likely to respond to

Yeah, the friends thing really works I believe. I guess having some connections is good. Your interests might be an important thing aswell, but I'm not really sure as I'm quite new to all of this. I really enjoy being on here & talking bout things that interest me though! Thanks for the commetn & happy holidays!

Quality posting and responding does it for me. I also tend to only respond to discussions that truly interest me this way I have plenty I can respond with. Same with starting discussions, I tend not to do so many but when I do I find that I only do so with discussions that make room for furthering commenting on my behalf.

Great, I guess interests are actually quite important then! Yeah, it's just fun to talk about things that you like and actually get paid for doing that don't you think! It's also a good thing for expanding my english writing haha ^^. I try to only start discussions that I hope/think people will comment on, like when something pops in my head i try to immediately post it, so I don't forget it! Thanks alot for the comment & happy holidays!

Great idea, I will remember to do that from now on, to post right away, as sometimes I think I will do it later or tomorrow, then my brain forgets. Happy holidays to you and all your loved ones.

I try to earn with mylot indirectly, through referral systems. I usually try to focus on responding to money making posts, specifically about writings sites like Triond, hoping one person may wander to my profile and go on from there. Works pretty well for the amount of work I put in, I must say....

Nice. If I may ask you, how do you get your referrals? I don't have any, and I really wouldn't know where to begin to get referrals on here.. That's quite a good one, I also have a Triond account, though it's quite new, like my myLot account, so it's not really earning much. It's always nice to get new comments or views on your articles & on myLot discussions! Thanks for the comment & happy holidays!

I just comment on anything I find interesting, and if it gives me a lot of participation earning the next day.. Then that's a bonus.

I don't do tactics when it comes to MyLot. I found early on that I earn quicker when I'm not thinking about the money - I know that sounds paradoxical, but that's the way it is for me. I just take part in whatever discussions interest me and I try to make interesting, relevant posts. Nothing else, and the money just gradually accumulates.

Sounds good. This way I guess it's also alot more fun to just read about things that interest you and posting comments on it to start a nice discussion. Especially when you earn some extra money for doing it! I too try to respond to articles that really grab my attention, but also to the ones that I just think sound fun or nice to read something new about. Thanks for the comment & happy holidays!

I don't know. Whatever I do - long responses or discussions, it gets me few cents only, sometimes on 2-4 cents. If mylot wasn't addictive, I would have left, but money is nice but not the thing for which I write here. I like discussions here, people often asks things that I would like to know too or i have something to say about. And my questions get answered too. I guess i just like the friendly atmosphere here. Still it would be nice to get the payout level even once. ^_^ I hope we will manage that))) Good luck and have a nice day)))

Nice, yeah I guess that's the best thing to do, just enjoy being on here and talking about things that interest you! It's just lovely to talk about things you liek and actually earn some extra money for doing it. It's good that everyone is so kind on here and always ready to try and help you out when you have something to ask! Thanks for the comment & happy holidays!

i normally try and respond to all the discussions that interest me and start my own discussions. I also have started using the search bar which sometimes gives a few rewards.

When I post my topics, I tend to respond to the other people who respond to me. That gets me more earnings. Also, don't forget about the news and blogs. If you can comment on them, then you get some money as well. There are a lot of earnings that people do in fact overlooked. I think that all you need to do is look around and figure out what works for you. And good luck.

That's about the same as I do, just responding to everyone that comments is also a great way to keep the discussion alive and have a nice talk with people in my opinion! I never really respond on the blogs, I didn't actually know that you can earn money by responding to them, thanks for telling! Also I try to do some tasks every once in a while, if they're easy to do or just give you a nice amount of money. Thanks for you comment & happy holidays!
