Do people make a living on mylot?? Is it possible??

February 4, 2007 1:38pm CST
to me.... mylot is just a community and the fact that i can earn a few extra cents is just a bonus. but do people actually make a living on their earnings on here?? is it even possible?? i think it might be, but not for me. i live in the UK and the money you earn on here in a month, you can earn doing a job for like 1 hour easily! but i guess in less developed countries where a single dollar is worth a lot more, then the money earnt on here is ok. is this true??? do you or anyone else you know make a living on mylot?? what can your mylot earnings buy you, where your from??

I think it would be possible if you had enough referals to make around 30k a year. If you refered like crazy and you had enough real life friends you would have a chance I think. Idk it would be diffucult but if you put enough effort into it you might have a chance to.

that seems a bit far fetched to be honest, but i guess if you did refer like crazy, you might get enough active refferrals.

good for others who have active referrals. i had been in here for 6 months and i only have 12 referrals and only 2 active ones. so, mostly, i work for myself. i am an independent person anyway, so it's better not to depend much on others.

I think you would have to do it by referrals. Probably thousands of them. I can't seem to get referrals though it seems. I have 3 and 1 of those has never posted. My friends aren't into spare change I guess.

I know some guy with 700 odd referals earning like 300$ a day from mylot without a single post.It might me an income for them considering 300$/day is huge money and you dont need to look for job if ur earning like abt 10K a month .But for me its just a time pass , I get about 30 cents a day, regardless of how many Q's or A's I give. It's a joke considering most of the people are able to earn 1$ minimum a day. Because people make $ (allegedly) for participating, you get the dummest Q's and A's that I've seen not hiding the fact that most of the users here are quality users.Like you said the earning from here is just an extra bonus for myself aswell . If i want to make quick money I wuld rather have some money invested in some HYIP/LYIP website other than working here .

Wow... seven hundred referrals is really huge, i did not know that there is such member here who has that many referrals. Wow... the said member will still be earning here even with out posting a single discussionor answer specially if those referrals are that active also. greetings. : )

yep. my boyfriend told me how high the prices are in the UK and in other european countries as well. i am from the philippines and funny at it may be, my earnings here in mylot is more or less the same with what i earn when working as a pharmacist. the good thing is, i only spend atleast 3 hours per day in mylot while i work more than 8 hours at my work in the pharmacy. so, mylot helps a lot for me.

not really the largest part of my income. but what i've earned from mylot was the first i invested in that certain program where i am earning a lot now. so, i still stick to mylot since i owe my starting investment from them.

I can not live off of the money that I make here on mylot as I live in the US and the money earned here is really like having extra pocket change. I can however reinvest what I make here and make money off of that too so if I were to count that in it can become pretty good. I am sure that some countries would consider this pretty good money but not here in the US.

I come from India, so dollar is really worth more since around 1 dollar=approx 5o rupess in the our currency...although we wont still making since equal amount of it would be spend in the internet charges and electricity bill..but still its good as an additional income ...but making living is highly impossible...u need to have a job for it...

I don't think one can actually make living on the mylot earning, why eg If one respond to posts every 3mins, one can respond 20 in 1hrs. So in 8hr max one can post is 160 post. This is indiviuals, but with refferal the things will be different.

Well for me i have tried to do that but i find it very hard to earn here. May be if one has a lot of active members then i say that one can be or possible to make a living in here at mylot. Say around fifty active or very active referrals under one member will do. greetings. : )

i do not think anyone can make a living out of mylot. it can be taken as a hobby which pays or as a temporary/part time job.

woow nice higlhy appreciated for a good post. i strt 2 reply from ur last Question. i am from pakistan,here $1=60 Rupees. your core purpose is if we can mylot a only way of earning ,upto some extent you can make it.if i would say upto 50-50 it would be better thn. As my lot gives u approx $2.5(150 ruppes) for about 100 good post and it requied a time of round about 4-6 hours. so a daily working hour is 8hrs so if will be half of a working day and a daily wage or salry minimum is 250 ruppes. humm now its sound interesting well now i m seriously thinking of tht way. all depends on one own ,but yes in third world countries it may be a good option ... thankks for a good post
5 Feb 07
hmm yeah it seems it can be a good option for some poeple. thanks for complimenting the discussion.

The purpose of mylot perhaps is not to provide the living to any body but it is a forum for sharing the experiences of each other and get helped by those,The small money adds to the encouragement we all get for putting up good points.

yep your right, thats why mylot is what it is :D

I was Working until a few months ago..have just recently quitted my job.I started surfing to kill time and I was also a little insecure about my financial independence,tats when I reached mylot,but after spending a week here I have not even sumed upto 1$...because neither can I do around 100 post in aday...neither do I feel interested in responding to discussion which do not appeal me,so I am very much confused but still devote some time...lets see if these extra bucks make any difference

ok, well if you try to produce long interesting discussions that get alot of replies, you will earn more. and always try to rate discussions positive and hope they return the favour. and also try to reply with a full bodied response, as you earn more if your answer is elected the best. good luck!

yes..this is just a sort of community and that you are making a little money in this process is just a bonus..... but i dont think its practical and proper to entirely depend on mylot for your earning!

alrough my country-china is still a developing country, but I think anybody can hardly make a living by posting on mylot. now, the rate of US dollar to RMB is about 1dollar= 7.7RMB, suppose one could make 100 quality post everyday., thats at most worth twwo dollars, so one month income = 60 dollars = 462 RMB, that's below the minimum wage in my city. have a good day.

I think you can earn a living if you have a biiiig downline so to increase your profits, just promote or tell your friends and give them your link. It could take some time but it it works, that would be great. For 1 dollar I can buy a liter of milk, which is not so much here in Sweden.
5 Feb 07
no thats not alot, pretty much same here in uk. i agree for us a huge downline is the only way.

I don't think the average person could make a living on mylot! They would have to spend the entire 24 hours on mylot and/or answer every discussion. But I don't think someone is willing to do that... LOL This site can get tiring, or at least it does for me. Yesterday I spent the majority of the day on here and I only made $1.06! That is the best I have ever made too!

I think some people do. I prefer mylot as my hobby because the amount I earn is not that really big and I am amazed with the people who earn at least a $100 a month. I don't even get to earn $10 a month. Well, I just love posting comments on discussions here.

Well I think its possiable to make a descent amout of money in a month, But make a living out of it? I don`t think so.. I have had an account here about 2 months ago , I lost the details and therefore had to start over again. But I remember once I made 25$ in a month, I was online 24/7 :D Regards :P
