February 13, 2013 11:34pm CST
i did try it to spend 4-5 hours a day on mylot to add value comment, open some discussion but why somehow i not sure why i did only manage to earn just a few cents. i saw some of them earn more than 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 cents a day, don't tell me they open 5-10 discuss and comment more than 100-150 in a day, spend 24 hours a day. i did take some task, I just wonder the reward how do get it? how to earn 20-50 cents? is that possible to get $10 a month?

Here's from myLot FAQ "What can I do to increase my earnings?": http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14 You see, quality is much more weighted than quantity. And commenting back to all responders of your discussion with quality content will certainly help. The rewards are given randomly when we perform searches using myLot search engine. Yes, it is possible to make $10 a month here.

Yes we do meet up often in alot of topics. Mine I have no plans for. I don't necessarily celebrate the holiday. We will likely celebrate this weekend with the nieces. Morning time will be mine, and, i am kind of sleepy too. Time for bed I think.

We always seem to meet up one after the other in these topics like this. We must have that spidey sense about it and so we jump right in on the same topics. Happy valentine's day, hope yours will be well for you.

As always, my advice for mylot members like you who wonders why they are earning below the amount they have expected them to earn is this - Mylot always go for quality posts. Mylot is a place to enjoy and share your thoughts, but if you want to make money from it, you should contribute wisely. Create articles that will attract traffic from other members. That is how mylot works. Quantity of time or posts is not the things you should focus on but the value of the things you share in this site.

"Create articles that will attract traffic from other members" We do not earn for the responses that other users post, they do. This topic has already two pages of responses but the user who started has only earnt for the topicitself. Unless they come and comment back to the responses it is not a discussion and they will earn nothing more for it.

JOIEMARVIC - creating article is not mine skill at all. mysdianait - do you mean I need to come back often to respond to the comment that I received? some time I have the time but I do login out, later come back see not respond. so I never know the discussion I come with is a hot topic here. that all

I now can only make several cents everyday. But this month I have a day with 30 cents, I think I have made more than 20 posts here to get that. Though I spend a lot of time here, at least 1 hour a day, I can only make several posts meaningful here, usually I can get only one cent for each post. From my own experience here, if I can get a best response, I can earn more by that post.

MyLot do not pay us for 'each post'. We earn for our overall quality activity in each 24 hour period.

Hi Koon999tan, I dont know how mylot pays.. it used to pay 1 cent per discussion or response when I joined few years back. Then when got bored here and now I came back here after 2 years and found they are paying even lesser. So only way to earn 10$ a month is get few if not lot active referrals. It is easier said than done.

Here's one myth we were discussing elsewhere. Did your upline tell you that or did you read it somewhere within myLot? Cause either way its fabricated nonsense! We're paid in a 24 hr. period for all of our activity. If a post has no quality to add to the discussion we will likely get $0 for it.

Koon i earn around 20cents to 40 cents. When you start discussion make sure you try to comment responses you receive. That what i do. It is not impossible to earn $10 per month.

I am new here. So far i am enjoying my experience her in Mylot, though yeah you're right it is not really paying much, but if you will just enjoy the experience you will definitely not feel the pressure of earning more.. My first day i earned 0.14 cents.. and its only 3 hours , not straight.. Because i have a daughter that i take care at the same time. But i do enjoy posting and commenting here, and i'm learning a lot..

Do you realise that YOU only earn for what YOU do here? You started this topic for discussion hours ago but you have disappeared. You earn nothing at all for the responses and comments that other users have posted. They earn for those. YOU earn when YOU come back and add comments to the responses here. If your commentes further the topic and make this into a discussion then you will see your earnings increase too. I saw on another topic where a user stated that we earn 1 cent for each post here. that is NOT true. We earn for our overall quality participation. Therefore if you participate and DISCUSS then you will earn. If you just randomly post here and there then you will be disappointed with your earnings.

sorry I did not disappeared, I just take bath and walking outside to cheer up myself after long hours facing the laptop. I never thought about it will become so much response at just a fews hour gone. so is that mean I need to focus on one subject that I have the passion and interest to discuss, some so add value to other. sorry I just not really understand yet about mylot, just I have the thought that the more I post or create discussion and the more I earn. so I got myself wrong, I will get it fix up and later ready to go. thank mysdianait to point it out.

From what I can see, you need to work more on responding back to people who leave comments on your discussions and not just any response, but something of value. I'd suggest going back through all your started topics and get back to whoever you can.

Whenever you start any discussions, you need to comment back to the responses you receive, as you only earn for what you do and not what others do. I think a lot of users thing that they will earn just for starting a discussion, without realizing that they don't earn for what others do, but what they themselves do. You need to be active and participate in discussions. Mylot isn't about the money anyway, as itg is about having fun and gaining knowledge. once you come in here with that mindset, then you will do better earning wise. i just have fun, and I find that my earnings go up faster, then when I worry about what I am making. We don't really make all that much in here anyway. Just sit back, rrelax, and enjoy your time in here, and don't wporry about your earnings. Take care!

people with the mind of enjoy and have passion will find that mylot will be a great place to share opinion and in the meantime the earning will go up more than never put expectation to earn anything at all. Now at all the discussion that I have with friend here mylot, i decide to put down the expectation on the earning and just enjoy it.

I am here for years and have already replied to over 400 discussions but yet to get to my first pay out. I am very close so I hope to get this month but lets see. I would love to see how someone can get 10 dollars a month. If you think of earning some good money then mylot is not the site.

If you spend your time just responding to discussions then your earnings will be slow because myLot is a discussion site and we earn for discussing - exchanging opinions in back and forth comments with other users.

Hello there ! One Mylot member here always telling us this line , " you type , you earn ". What earning you are receiving is the output on how you work here . If you work too hard here , serious , diligent , religious and strictly following rules then that $10 is not impossible every month. Actually it really depends in you ! I am not so sure if someone is giving here 10 discussions and more , i guess 10 is too much , but if one can do it then why not ? It would be much better but as i am doing and what others doing, if we can't post a discussion , we tried to join a quality discussion as many as we can. The truth is our earnings is just in our hands and not to Mylot .

It is possible to earn that much in a month as long as you are determined to do so and if you allot most of your time into responding rather than focusing on your earnings.

I guess it is every once in a while. I use the earnings as a motivation. I look at it up top the page but i rarely open the detailed description of my participation. I get surprised as to how much i am able to respond to in a day.

hi koon, It is possible to achieve $10 minimum a month. with the participation i make, i spend about 4 hours in mylot too (combined) usually i am here a few minutes, answer some discussions and be back after an hour or so. You see when you are not in the mood to respond and your response would only be about 2 sentences, it won't earn you as much as it would when you answer discussions with the best quality possible. Some days when I am not feeling really good and is not concentrated on the topics i respond to, i get about 30 cents and yes it is sad, i would feel its not enough for the work and time i am here, but i think that is just about fair, as some of our fellow members here have said, mylot gives rewards from 15 to 25 cents for some of the search you do using the mylot search bar. Based on my experience, about 20 discussions with a quality reply will give you 30-45 cents each day, double that and you almost have a dollar a day. =) Good luck and hope you won't feel discouraged with mylot. There's still an opportunity here and just keep on sharing :D Have a blessed day.

Well, I guess it is possible if you are very active. What you experience is also an experience of mine when I was new. Until such time I forget about the earning. I just enjoy reading post and giving comments, communicating with friends online until I realize my earning grows up.

If you are looking for bigger money, this site doesn't offer that high. You get to spend so much time and earn very little. The best way to earn hear is just enjoy and don't mind the money. Be open and always make your comments as informative as you can. If you have friends here it is easier to enjoy and share information here. It is possible to earn 10 dollars per month. That depends on your activity here. If you are tired mylotting, just stop and continue another day.

Hi Koon! Please review your work and the discussions you started. One of the most important factor that we should achieve whenever we started or replied to a discussion is the quality of our post. I could say that yes, earning 10 per month is an easy thing. Review you work and try to find where you think you need to improve. This way, you can avoid committing the same mistake if any. We should learn how to evaluate ourselves so that we can make necessary changes if needed. Good luck, i know you can make it. Have a nice day!

It is possible to get $10 in a month here. If you want to get more earnings in mylot, you have to create quality discussions in a lot of quantity. Quality is very important, but to earn more, you need a lot of quality posts here. There was in my account in one day I got $0.36 from posting only 7 posts. However, the posts I created are good in quality and contain keywords that related to the topic and category. It seems that keywords are important to earn more, because the mylot's calculates our earning per post is using software, but not reviewed by human.
