Making the myLot 'Hot List' makes a difference

United States
January 6, 2016 6:40am CST
The first four days in January I averaged 55 cents a day. One of the discussions I started was asking where people were since it was so quiet in here. That discussion made to the "Hot List" #1 spot and yesterday's daily total was 89 cents. That's a nice increase thanks to more exposure. Making it to the "Hot", "Top" or "Interesting" lists definitely gets you more exposure and the benefits are more than just a bigger bank total. You garner more 'friends' and that means more fun. You never know what will or won't make it to those lists. When we start discussions our goal isn't to make a certain list. But it is nice when it happens, even if by accident!

hi@Abb yGreenhill and it gets one noticed by ones friends and potential friends too which makes it fun and makes yu earn better too. I find so many mylotters here are so friendly and that gives a homey atmosphere to mylot. On the old bubblews there was a bt f snobbisbness there that I really did not enjoy

There were a lot of 'groups' there ,but I have to say until they made the changes I did very well there. But this is now and myLot is home!

This reminds me very much of the Featured posts on bubblews and the endless discussions on how to get one's post featured and if staff had its darlings etc.

@HanVanMeegerin at one time I found four plagiarists o n that featured list who got paid using other peoples writings I told the admins who did nothing.

@MALUSE - no, totally different, those on Bubbs were chosen at random by the powers that be - they never could explain how that worked. I have to agree with Han on that.

@MALUSE not quite like Bubblews. Their featured and front page exposure system was a total sham, though they claimed it was based on some sort of specific criteria.

That is good. If you can make an average of 80 cents a day, I think that is enough to take care of your internet bill for the month.

That would only be $24 a month - my bill will be $70 plus taxes and fees.

I have recently discovered that, too, thanks to one particular user who took the trouble to comment liberally in one fairly old discussion of mine. It must have appeared in the "Hot" list as a result and I got several more responses on that discussion!

@AbbyGreenhill It's possible, though not likely, I think.

It's possible that person 'shared' your discussion and that's why you got more action later @owlwings

I don't believe I have ever made such lists. However, I have a steadily growing list of people who follow me.

You are doing great, congrats. I am not sure what I have done since the new year started, but I am sure that it is more than what I was making last month. I also think the traffic has picked up some too. I am really happy for you, as I am so happy that someone is doing it, even if I am not.

The hot list is decided just on it's figures, which is fair because it means that we, the members, decide who is there. If we don't read or comment on them it won't make it - a much better way than an individual behind the scenes deciding what should be there.

I think my post with most comments and responses was one that I didn't think would do well at all. There seems no way of guessing what will encourage people to interact.

@AbbyGreenhill Sometimes it's not the post itself that attracts readers but a pertinent comment by someone and everyone jumps on the bandwagon to have their say.
