April 6, 2011 12:24am CST
Hey everyone. How long have you been in mylot? Have you earned money from mylot? Have you received it? I know people can get paid here by starting discussions and responsing to others. And i am new here, i am not too active so i havent received money from mylot. But i hope it can happen later. How much do you earn from mylot every month? Do you have any tips to earn more money? How much time do you spend on mylot everyday? Would you like to share your experience?

Hello Hongqistreet and welcome to myLot, Nobody can tell you about the earning system of myLot as it isn't known by the users. All I can tell you is that if you are active here, myLot will pay you when you reach the $10 limit. You may not earn too much as a newbie, but if you like to discuss and come here often to discuss with friends (and friends to be), you'll see the change in your earnings. I can tell you that I've reached payout every month since my second month here (you can see the payment proofs in my profile). I can't spend too much time here and I never counted the time spent on myLot but I like to be here and I always come back gladly. The best advice I can give you is to be active. Make some friends among the users that share the same interests with you and discuss with them whatever you want. Always come back to the discussions and responses where you participated to forward a discussion as much as you can. You can also earn some more if you refer friends (you can earn 25% of their daily earnings) or if you use the myLot search box. Uploading photos can also bring you a few cents more and if you like to, you can complete some paid tasks. I wish you good luck!

Thanks for your response. I agree with you. Being active is an important factor to earn more money. I think you are really good that you can reached your payout on your second month. I have to go to work everyday, so i cant spend much time on mylot. But i really like here.

does the start stand for the rating? what should i do if i want to get a start? For these two days, many older mylotters were very nice to help me in this discussion. Well i still have some things confused, such as how can i know which rate am i in? how to improve my rate? and how to get a start?

Me, too, I work everyday. I have a full time job but I spend some of my free time here. I've told you, as a newbie, the earnings are not too good but once you get a star (and hopefully you'll get a high star) you'll see the difference. Another advice that I can give you is to follow some of the older myLotters here and see their activity, to learn from their experience. See how they respond to others discussions, how they comment each response they receive into their discussions, how they comment the same response over and over, forwarding the discussion as much as they can and having a good time in the same time. Follow their example and you'll become a good myLotter and also a successful earner.

I joined six weeks ago for the purpose of reaching my payout amount each month. How hard can it be to earn $10? Well, after all this time, I have earned .54. But, I still think it is possible. I heard one mylotter say she has a goal of 25 posts each day. That is how she gets money. But, it is harder than it sounds. Even after working 3 or 4 hours, I only manage to supmit 5 posts. But, I can do better.

It is difficult to reach payout that very first month, no matter how much you post. When you get your first star, it will affect your earnings and if it is blue, for instance, you will earn the maximum for what you do. If you want to earn on here, you have to be active. I am earning right now, for what I am posting to you. You are not earning for it, though. Now, if you skim around, even in just this discussion, and respond to everything I have posted, your earnings will go up. The more you participate, the more you will earn.

Sorry for the late response, but I have been busy trying to finish up school work for a class that just ended yesterday. I have been with mylot for about four years, but most of that time I was inactive. When I was actively involved, I would make payout in one to two months. That is what happened for my first two payouts. I became active again in late January and I made payout for the last two months. Sometimes, I only spend a few minutes a day responding to responses or making a single post but other times I am in here for hours. Today I have been going through the emails I had received since April 2 (when I had to lay off to catch up with homework) and I am up to this point. Instead of having over 100 emails (mostly from mylot) I am down to about 60. I'm sure that I will make over $1 today. In order to earn more, you need to respond to a lot of discussions, start some, and respond to anyone who responds to you. There are other things you can do as well, but I don't often do those. Just become more active. After you reach 100 posts, you get a rating star and the higher your rating is, I think you make more. I won't swear to it, but I earn faster now than I did early on. Good luck with that!!!

After you reach 100 rating, you get a star rating that helps you earn faster. My first hundred posts were probably too short because I didn't earn much, but then I started I didn't make much but then I went for both quality and quantity. I'm sure if you make more responses, things will start looking a lot better!

hey, daeckardt. i know that a high quality discussion or response can make you earn more. but what does a star for? how can a star help you to earn more? is that mean that if your rating is higher, you can earn more from the same discussion or response compared with the money you get when your rating is lower ?

You don't need to start a lot of discussion or make a lot of responses to earn more. To earn more here, you need to make a good quality discussion. One older mylotter mentioned that a member with just one rating can earn $10. For example, say a new member start a discussion, and gets responses. The member then comment back on all the responses and have a discussion going on for that topic. Without responding to another discussion, that discussion alone can get the member $10. That is theoretically, that's the idea anyway. To get a discussion going. Not just answering or asking questions.

Wow, i know. Thanks for your suggestion.I didnt know that before. So the point is being active,start a high quality discussion and make the discussion going, right? It's like we communicate and discuss here, if the topic is attractive and make many mylotter in it, it worth more. Thank you again, it really help me.

It depends on you on how you work and how creative your imagination and updated in the day to day situation of your surroundings with that you can easily start as many discussions as you want,you can even comment more than you want. Even if you are not in front of your computer you can put in mind what you have seen around so that when you start again in mylotting the flow of your idea keeps on going and never absent in your desire to earn. As many have proven that they can reach the 10$ cash out in a month is possible for I am almost there and like you I am also new here.

Hey macayadann, thanks for your advise, it is a great idea. My time in mylot is not long beacuse i have to work everyday. and sometimes when i am free, i want to be in mylot and have a nice communicate with my friends here. but my enlish is not that good so i have to waste much time on considering how to express myself. now i can think about what i want to talk and how to express that when i am not in front of my computer. and when i am starting in mylot, my idea will keep on going.
• China
9 Apr 11
Hehe, yes, that's right. i do need a dictionary nearby when i am typing in mylot. i think the most important is that you can express yourself clear and make others understand you instead of perfect grammer and huge vocabulary. It is morning in my place now. i am going to cook breakfast now, hehe. have a good day.

9 Apr 11
that is right,do not worry you will perfect your english as you keep on trying. Re-construct your sentence to get away from grammatical error. I do not speak english well too because I am a filipino. welcome friend. Your english is just fine and it is clearly understood.

Of couse, there is noting to be shamed that you want to earn some extra money on mylot. i think it is one of the resones to be here for a lot of people. For me, i am here for 3 resones: 1. practise my english. i have to say it is the most importnant one. beacuse enlish is important for job hunting in my place. i have learned english for many years but i am lack of practising. so i am glad i have the opportunity now. 2. earn some extra money. hehe, i also want to earn some extra moeny . 3. make more friends and learn from them. mylotters here are all over the world. so you could know more stuff about other countries' culture and custom.
9 Apr 11
thank you Generally speaking ,people always find something interesting on line .If I said not only fun but some chance to earn money , i will not think embarrassed . Even mylot . :) So what are you looking for .
11 Apr 11
Sure I agree .my English not very well too , so here 's good place to learn ,I am here not for some penny ,Just find something . Maybe I can learn more from others . good luck

Hi Dear Hongqistreet! First of all Warm Welcome to Mylot! I am one of the oldest member on this site! I am there on this right from the time of its inception! I have seen the progress and growth of this site! It has grown in leaps and bounds! I was not active for two years or more because of some family problems and I rejoined this site and I am presently active on this site! Now coming to earnings part, frankly speaking this is not a very good site to make money. This I am saying that there were some very good sites in the past and still are there for people from other countries where one can make some real good money! But here the money what we make is just peanuts! But then participating on this site is some thing very addictive, many people they join this site to make money but as the time passes on they realise that they have got addicted to this site and money becomes secondary to them and I am one of them! Well by initiating good discussions and by responding good discussions you can make money here. Mylot people are interested in descriptive, quality responses! Copy and pasteing is not allowed here! You can use search engine to have some extra income which you can get as a bonus! You can upload pictures along with your discussions and responses once you get the eligibility which can improve your earnings! Active participation on this site is the Key factor in making the money! More the participation or in puts the more are the out puts. Here we are paid as per the efforts we take to participate! All the best and happy mylottng dear friend! Have a nice time on this forum!

I am not that active but I will tell you how much I have earned overall.somewhere 50 dollars since I am not active member but there are active members who already posted almost 15 thousand comments and 3000 discussions.I estimated they earned somewhere 700 dollars or so on.This community is actually great and if you just post quality discussion and can gain comments and really a good conversation which is informative and useful then you will surely earn something.
• China
6 Apr 11
Wow, it is quite a lot discussions. They are very active. But I am afraid i couldnt posted that much comments. beacuse i cant spend too much time on mylot. I think maybe one hour or two is ok in my free time. How many responses and discussions do you posted averagely everyday? Does it cost you too much time?
• China
18 Apr 11
hey mallu30. welcome to mylot. that is good for you. post response to other's discuusion and when you get a comment, comment back, keep this communication going on, that is a good way to earn more money. hoep you can have a good time here and make many good friends here.

It depends on how active I am on mylot, if I work hard everyday, I can make it the minimum payout 10 dollars each month but when I don't get to do mylot everyday, it sometimes take more 2 months or 3 months to get to the minimum payout. I think if I am able to make 1 dollar on mylot each day, I think it is pretty good., if not, I try to make it up the next day. Mostly I log on to mylot everyday, just the matter of whether I keep mylotting or not, depends on if there is anything going on with me the day.

You will earn more if you post high quality responses or discussions. But how to define a comments's quality,i think it is hard to say. If your discussion is useful for others and interesting, it will get many responses. Then you response to your comments, keep this discussion going on. I think that can make your discussion get high quality.

Like I said, it depends on how active I am. If I am creative enough and think of a couple of discussions on that day then I focus on replying mylotters' responses + I keep searching discussions to respond. There is not a certain amount of post or words in order to earn how much. I hope it helps Welcome to mylot!

Welcome you two. It is a nice place. The longer you stay here, the more you will like here. My suggestion is reading the FAQ first, that would help you know more about mylot. Make friends here. if you have any problems, feel free to ask other mylotters for help. They are really nice and will be glad to help new mylotter.Have a good time here.

hi zipingpier! same with you, one of the reason i like myLot is because i can practice my english here, and it do help when i meet foreigners in real life, i can speak more fluently with them! :) but sometimes when i get too nervous to speak, i lost my word.. XD but surely, it is a nice place, a good site to meet new people, talk to others, share our opinions, and get paid for doing those things..i love this! welcome to everyone!

• China
6 Apr 11
Wow, good for you.Although it is not much, yet i think it's a good start. The worth of your discussion depends on it's quality. The more responses you get, the more people participate in your discussion, the more money you make. I think the process is more important then the outcome. When you are making money, you also make new friends and learn some new stuff from them. It's a nice experience. And for me, communicate with mylotter here is a good way to practise my english. English is not my mother language, but it is important all over the world.So i need to learn english.

Hey binggaling, i agree with you that comment back on the response in your discussion is a good way to make your discussion having a high quality. but at first i always forgot this. thanks those older mylotters who advice me to do that.

hi everyone.. can somebody explain to me how the "referral" thing works..i mean, i know mylot will pay me for each of my friends who will join the community..but how? i mean what am i going to do..?
• China
14 Apr 11
everyone has a referral link. you can find yours in "earnings"--"referral". i think your referral link is http://www.mylot.com/?ef=anjiel052707 you should send this link to your friends. if your friend register in this link, he or she will be your "referral". when she or he earns money, you will get 25 percent of that.

try to make more responses. i have heard from an older mylotter that posting responses is a better to earn than posting discussions. and when someone add a comment to your response, remerber to comment back and keep this communication going on. that can make you earn more. anyway, best wishes and have fun here.

I have never added up how much I have earned on MyLot, can you believe that? I do know I have earned a fortune in good friends, however, and the chance to learn about the whole world is priceless. I have been on MyLot since November of 2006. When I check my earnings history, I earned my first money from MyLot on November 14. I did not make payout my first month. I do not think MyLot has been late except maybe one time on payout. If they were it was because of some computer problems, but otherwise, as regularly as clock work, if I have earned $10 by midnight in MyLot time on the last day of the month, I have received those funds in my PayPal on or before the 15th of the next month, without requesting it. I spend the time I have to spare among a number of earning sites. Most of them are not international, and that is sad to me as I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I make payout or a little more almost every month. When I was working two jobs it sometimes took me two months and I would have about fifteen dollars. I used to plan on twenty five posts daily as a way of keeping track, but the problem is that every post earns differently. So I check my earnings and try to make 30-35 cents daily, however I can. My advice would be to observe the more active members and respond in their discussions so they know you, then request them as friends. I would also suggest that you post quality discussions so that when your star appears at 100 it will be blue or at least red because that earns slightly more. It is so much easier to improve your reputation when you are a new user than when you are old like me. People marking you + or - affects what color your star is. You need to rate others as well when you feel they are having a positive effect or a negative effect on the site. You do not need to rate all participation, but be honest and rate things that are helpful. In one of your other responses you questioned what makes a quality post. If there is something to talk about in your post, and if others will keep giving input, then you know it is a quality post. This one is obviously a quality post. If you had just said,"Has MyLot ever paid you?" it would not have been of such great quality. I am sure you see the difference. So, welcome to MyLot, have fun.

Thank you very much.You give me a expatiation. How is the feel that stay in mylot for so long time? It seems you really like mylot. When you said you earned a fortune in good friends and learn from others, i quite agree with you. I have to admit i was attracted by mylot's payment at the first time. I hope i could earn some extra money. But after i spent some days here, i found it is a great place. As you said, the chance to learn about the whole world is priceless. We know friends all over the world here. It is more important.
