Hi Everyone, I am new to myLot and have been enjoying it so far. I just wanted to know if anyone makes enough money to survive doing this? Is there a way to turn it into a full-time income? If there is I would really appreciate you sharing the secret. I love coming in here and having discussions with people and will continue to it either way. But if there is a way to make decent money while doing it I would like to know. Thanks for all your help!!!!!

Earn hundred dollars a month is impossible really. Now, i will make it shorter. Aside from working here in mylot 24 hours a day if you want decent earnings, try to have many very active referrals so that they can help you to increase your earnings.

Yup, it is hard to get referrals and much harder to make them active. :)

I understand what you are saying about the referrals. It will hard to get referrals that stick around for a while. Thanks for the information.

There is no way that you should ever consider MyLot (or any similar site) to be able to give you a living wage. There are several people here who do make somewhat more than the minimum payout of $10 every month (and there are people who claim to make $100 or $500 from MyLot every month but I have never yet seen any proof!!!)

Yes, it seems like this is more just for the conversation. That is fine with me, but I will have to continue to look for a money making opportunity as well.

This site is not a site so much for gaining income as it is for gaining insight and having conversations with people while learning about what the world has to offer and make a few extra dollars along the way. Most of the time, unless one is into referrals or does a lot of tasks, it will be difficult to make more than a few dollars per month.

If someone was really good in recruiting active referrals and they were all posting regularly, then they might be earning a decent amount from myLot, even enough to survive on. Probably some of these users are already doing just that: http://www.mylot.com/w/community/refer.aspx The number under each username there is the amount of referrals that they have, but whether they are active is another matter. Some of those users don't even log in here anymore so they are not earning at all. However if we just participate in the discussions, use the myLot search and complete tasks then our earnings are not going to be enough to survive on - unless we are content to live a very simple life

Thanks for the information. I didn't think that there was much chance of making a full-time income. I do enjoy the conversations, so I will continue on with Mylot and just enjoy the few extra bucks.

Please don't think of it as a job but more of a paying hobby. You can learn while earnings and meet friends from all over the world too. Welcome aboard!

Hi there chans, you can certainly have discussions around making money from home or topics on surviving on various income sources. I read here that some people have many sources of online incomes. Not just one but many I would think the challenge there would be time management. Sure you can make a little money while having discussions here but it takes time. If you had other places to discover as well online obviously you would make more money but then be very busy as well. Good luck though. Don’t be like me, I’ve given up and thinking of eating ant’s.

Maybe decent money are the little dimes and quarter dollar coins that we pass to each other as tokens of good will and the big money is the devils exchange anyway. just a thought!

dear, I am also new to mylot.I do not think you could make a living on it but you could make a little extra money and make new friends,and engage in conversations.I have not reviceced a payment from mylot so far but i am working on it.I come here almost every day and spend a couple minutes to an hour on mylot.I think that getting paid for fun is really cool!I mean i searced many other sites to get a little extra spending cash ,but all the sites i found weren't very fun and i wasn't having a good time while earning.Then i came across mylot and i get paid for having fun!

Mylot is more for learning than earning, so to make a living from it would be difficult unless you put a lot of time into it and possibly have lots of active referrals, as them being active is what helps anyone to make money. The thing of it is, referrals will start in mylot, and then come to the realization after a time that they probably won't make all that much, so they just give up. I don't have any referrals here in mylot, and I am able to make the minimum when I am active, and sometimes even more, but not enough to live on that is for sure. I do other things besides mylot, and yet I still don't make a lot of money, but in the end it all adds u, and that is the main thing. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

It's practically impossible to earn decent money for living from myLot, unless you have tons of active referrals. Practically impossible for members, but perhaps it's possible for myLot staffs and admin :p
