Earning without posting

This is my first post today, but I have already made 9 cents today. Now, that doesn't seem like a lot, but it's not bad considering that I didn't write any posts yet. All I have done is go around and read some posts and interact with them and my myLot friends.
There are many places that only pay you for your posts and comments on your posts. Sure, I think I picked up a comment or two today, but I have written many more comments and comment responses than I have garnered on my own posts.
That's why myLot is better, I think. It pays for interaction, which is how a community gets built.
I don't post a lot of discussions. I am busy on a lot of sites. I appreciate being rewarded for my contributions, no matter what form they take.
Do you post a lot or interact with others more here?

I will reapnd or comment more, than I will start my own discussions. Mostly because it is hard to think of a topic of interest, and if it isn't interesting, I would be wasting my time, so I would rather just respond or comment to other discussions. At least I am interacting, and that is what mylot wants.

I interact a lot more than I start discussions. I simply prefer it that way, it means I don't have to think as much.

@Lushlala Very true, there are rules but of a different kind because you see that discussions that do nt come within the guidelines get deleted and if you have posted on one of them your earning too gets deleted..Thats how sometimes we see our earnings come down by a few cents..

I completely appreciate that the bank rises for all the interacting that we do here! I think it motivates everyone to interact everywhere - not just on our own posts. I guess I tend to interact here more than I post - I'd love to do more posting but this is all I have time for now.

Our older posts still work for us. Something you write today could attract readers, likes and comments in months or years to come, if found through links, tags and search engines. Even if you stop writing or visiting mylot for months (please don't) the chances are you'll gain some cents in your absence though nothing like what you'll get from on-going interaction.

A lot depends on what you write here, and of course, there's the option of writing something topical or newsy that will gain some interest outside of the site. Many just want to write about personal things - rants, raves, daily life occurrences. I do see that activity on the site when I am away does earn me a few cents and that's really encouraging.

Do things we write here get seen by non-members? That was essential on Epinions, and it was "supposed" to be relevant on "that other site," though it's hard to tell how much we were paid for non-member reads and how much was pocketed by...others.

That is good AnjaP.
It depends on how busy I am that day if I make discussions or just respond.

Welcome to MyLot, AnjaP :) I'm also new here, but I'having a lot of fun, so i hope you do too. I have yet to do some posts for discussion, but i will do soon. I've been focusing mainly on reading other people's stuff and responding to them and also interacting with fellow members.

Oh you earn when you post if people interact with your post, but you don't have to post if you don't want to. We do need active posters in order to function, of course. But in the old myLot you got a specific amount just to write a post and that has changed. It stops the serial posters who have nothing to say.

@Rollo1 I haven't read that many "drivel" posts here. It's good when people are less motivated to post just for the sake of posting (here's a picture of the spaghetti I had tonight), and more motivated to get involved in discussions, regardless of where that discussion is occurring.

Considering it's my first few hours I just comment and interact with others. There are already topics, so I don't really need to create my own to get going, especially since interaction helps generate revenue as well.

Obviously, we do need people to post discussions in order to keep going, but there's no pressure to write because you can contribute to the community in other ways - and you will get paid for those contributions. So, it's a little less stressful than other sites.

@Rollo1 Truthfully it's better than the other models because it encourages interaction and does the same thing without chasing people away. Some people are happy to comment and others are happy to post. A little of both is the best place to be in.

Yeah that's what I love about myLot too. It's definitely better than the rest. I'm not sure but I think this is the first and original site that started paying for what you post? Not sure though but it's definitely the first for me.

Interaction is the key to earn more from Mylot.It is the beauty of this excellent site too.

I tend to respond more than I do post. But I haven't seen earnings go up at all yet

That's really good! Better than interest in a bank. I don't even earn a penny but I haven't been here long yet.

I just joined here and trying to get the lay of the land. It's nice to see some familiar faces and happy to hear that posting isn't necessary. Sometimes I just like to read and comment
