So help me get this straight?

If you are confused, the guidelines and the f.a.q's would help you understand many things about mylot. It is best to take time and read everything there is in the guidelines and f.a.q. This way, you will have a clear picture of how mylot works. When I joined, I took time to do that and now, I think that I am in the right direction. Good day.

Yeah, basically the more you type on here, the more you'll get paid. They don't really have a set amount that they pay per word, that would be awesome if they did, but they don't. I've just noticed that when I give really long responses or even comments to other people, I get paid a lot more the next day

Firstly there is no set payment per post and trying to explain the exact system is against the rules and nobody knows it anyway

When you start a discussion you get paid for the first response that you receive.
After that you are only paid for responses when you comment on them.
The comment has to be a good quality one and not JUST saying thanks and not a one liner.
The generally accepted length is over three or four lines but anything is better than nothing in my opinion.
You have to make the comment relevant to the discussion and avoid repeating yourself.

You get paid for whatever you post as long as it is within the guidelines and of a good enough quality.
