In my first post in mylot I've earned $0.10 for getting 4 replys with the post and I was happy and post 3 other and replied to 5 discussions but next day when I checked my account I have only earned $0.06. I don't understand a bit of work going in this site. If any one knows how to increase earnings in mylot, Please reply and share.

Hi, perhaps I can help. First, you do not earn when other people reply to your discussions. You only earn for the work that you yourself do. Second, there is no set rate per post or a set rate for any particular activity. It is based on your accumulated activity and is recalculated regularly. Even I am not privy to the specific algorithm used to calculate the earnings here. Want to increase your earnings? Increase your activity and engage in quality discussion. I would also frequently review the guidelines and FAQ's as they can be very helpful guides. Most importantly, have fun. People seem to earn more when they stop worrying about how much they earn and concentrate on what the site is for, discussion and interaction. Hope this helps

You have to keep discussing and responding on mylot. If you read the faq's it is all explained. The only way to earn is to be very productive on mylot.

Sorry didn't understand but now I see. They probably deducted for a discussion you responded to that was deleted.

"I've earned $0.10 for getting 4 replys" You DON'T earn anything at all for 'getting replies'! People who respond to your discussions will earn (according to the quality of their responses) but you don't earn a CENT more! The simple rule is: "YOU type, YOU earn; I type I earn!" Also, your earnings are NOT calculated on how many posts you make or anything like that. They are calculated by a very complex algorithm (which we are not allowed to discuss) which takes MANY things into account and works out your earnings based on the QUALITY of your PARTICIPATION as a whole over 24 HOURS. Increasing your earnings in MyLot is very simple: Make sure that you participate as much as possible with good quality, original and relevant responses and comments and that means, especially, in discussions that YOU have started ... it is NO use posting discussions and then not coming back to DISCUSS!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation and u must be puzzled and confused like me regarding such matters. I know we all are unaware of the payment and earnings scheme over here and i think u should keep working hard and keep faith on this site as it rightly honors and pays each of our efforts. We just have to keep patience and may be u have to wait till the payments is updated again. Happy Mylotting! What say?
