Do I need a positive rating to my comment to earn ?

You don't need a postive rating to earn. You just need to post alot and do more than just a sentence or two in a response. Rating a discussion helps I believe to form your reputation rating (ie the Star) by your handle. I've noticed also if you get alot of responses to a discussion you have started you are also paid a bit better for that day as well. Don't get discouraged, I was too at first and then once I really sunk my teeth into it I really like it. But don't expect to be making dollars everday usually it's change.... though every lil bit helps. Happy MyLotting :)

The positive ratings are used only for calculating the reputation. If you want to know what reputation is, it is the star next to the username. People who provide correct response to the discussions are rated positive. People who poke fun or make a laugh or place irrelevant things are rated negative. To earn from comments, you have to write quality content. There are some rules too: - you shouldn't use the word 'thank you' -you should write 4-5 at least. -the comment should stick to the topic and should not be an attempt to deviate from the discussion For more details, check the blog at my profile.
