How do you earn $1.00 per day from My Lot?

When I first started mY LOt my earnings were low, but they gradually started increasing as I got the hang of things. Not long before Easter, I was able to get up to over $1.00 per day, sometimes up to $1.30. Then I went away for Easter. When I returned, I resumed My Lot work, & I assumed that I would be able to get up to at least $1.00 per day. But I haven't, not since before Easter, which was 6 weeks ago. So my question is this? If you usually earn at least $1.00 per day, how many discussions do you start? How many responses do you give to other My Lotters? How many responses, on average, do you receive to your discussions? I'm hoping a few people can respond to this question, as sometimes my earnings perplex me? Thank you in advance.

Do you have any referrals? I find that my one referral is not posting on here very much at all. Because of that I am not getting the extra earnings in referrals. I have only gone over $1.00 in a day once since I've been here the beginning of December. A lot more discussions are being deleted, which doesn't help. But I am also having trouble finding discussions of interest to respond to. That is frustrating and makes me walk away and I don't earn as much.

the time from when i have joined mylot, it was only once when i had earned 0.96 dollars a day, now i think its a dream for me earn that much as i have reduced my time that i used to spend on mylot, and further still mylot has decreased the earnings from quite a few week, really tough i guess.

I use to have great earnings, but not anymore. Many of the changes have caused me to go backwards in post count and earnings. Several people have posted on the board that they are turning in large numbers of posts each day.

People turning others in for posting referrals, badly worded posts, slang, "bad language", off topic and the list goes on. I was selected as the best post twice and a fight broke out about 15 posts later and mylot deleted all of the posts. The topic police have taken all the fun out of mylot for me.

i think that if you just spend a couple of hours answering and posting discussions here on mylot, you will earn a dollar and up a day. dont be so conscious or mindful about how many posts you have. just enjoy what you are doing and you will be earning in no time. :)

It has been longer than that for me. I just earn pennies now. I am much busier, and the average of what I earn per post is down. I see people explaining this saying that with all the new users the money has to be divided further. I know my earnings went down right after I posted a discussion about how to earn a dollar a day.

If I made that seem like "they" were out to get me for that discussion, I did not mean it that way. I believe that that discussion coincided with the sudden growth here at myLot. When I started, there were fewer than 50 thousand users. My earnings still vary day to day. Sometimes it seems that I earn about 1.8 cents per post, others it is closer to 4 cents. I have seen people claim 6 to 8 cents, but I think that is hooey. In my experience, as soon as one person responds to a discussion, it is credited one point. My experiment is going to be to see if I make more money by being active in more areas, like news, discussions, responses, blogs, etc. I am just glad that myLot pays.

Thanks. This has been an interesting learning experience for me. A lot of responses are full of info, but it is obvious that sometimes people don't read my discussion properly.

For the past two weeks I have been making between $1.34 and $2.12 a day, my secret is pictures, this adds to your earnings and you can upload up to 29 photos a day, so I go to interests and pick an interest I want to upload photos, the first couple of days I did cat pictures (I have tons) and I was making anywhere from $0.25 to $0.43 a day on photos so the extra added monies always helps put me over the $1.00 earnings. I am not one to start discussions, I am more of a responder, I have found that you can open more than one window or browser in an effort to answer more discussions, I answer between 35 to 60 (on a very good day) discussions everyday, I only post one, maybe two discussions every other day. I have been fortunate in responses to my discussions, sure I have a few no response ones, but not many, mostly my discussions get at least 9 responses (mostly from friends) and on an average up to 20 responses, sometimes more if I am REAL lucky. I have written to the earnigns dept of myLot since I keep a record of how many discussions or responses I post everyday and the response I got back was the I am getting paid $0.03 per discussion and I needed to be quiet ...

I have broken down the earnings to a science, even noting how often you can upload photos and in a 24 hour period I was only able to load 29 photos at a time, in fact I had a discussions about this not too long ago, I wrote to myLot about it but it fell on blind eyes and a response was never given. The $0.3 a discussion is for quality discussions and yes, I heard that at least 10 people need to respond to your discussion but when you try to confirm this with myLot not response is given and it is not in the facts and answer page. But I will admit adding photos is a great enhancer to you already well established earning capacity. And if we can make over $1.00 everyday here, well it makes coming here even better. Take care, my friend.

That's what I've been saying about photos. You add some quality photos with great descriptions into INTEREST categories you make good money. Not as much is earned for in discussions but they still pay. I like seeing photos in the discussions a lot though myself. I've even been able to upload 35 once. Some days only 20. So it's a sticky situation on how many also. HAPPY POSTIMNGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I had read Bob's cooments before about earning from uploaded photos in the interest section. I have tried this a few times. I misunderstood, & thought I could only upload one photo per catergory, & i was running out of catergories. Like you, I have plenty of photos cats, dogs & birds. Now I wonder why you needed top keep quiet about being paid 3c per discussion?? Interesting! I always open up more than one window, with firefox this is easy. But is it true that one needs at least 10 responses before earning from a discussion? Someone told me two the other day.

Let me think for a second. OWWWWW! This hurts. Momma always said don't think too hard. The earnings calculations are hard to figure out. But I found that if you start quality discussions and give quality responses the income increases greatly as opposed to not doing quality work here. I start an average of maybe 5 discussions a day getting around a dozen or so responses. I respond to maybe 50 discussions a day. I add comments to most my respondees also. I try and add a quality photo when it's called for. Not clip art as they don't get any earnings usually. I also try to asdd 20 photos a day to interest groups as well. Once again quality photos I take myself and I write a good description of the photo. On a good day I make around $2.50. Now if I could double the responses I get I could almost double my income. I am on myLot an average of 10 hours daily also. So that's my earning process in a nutshell. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Jenny, it is not that you have to start discussions, it is that you respond to the discussions or start them, but responding to them is just as good as starting them, I only start about 1 or 2 discussions and sometimes I don't start any. But they do have to be quality discussions you start (your own) and I heard they are deleting jokes these days, and you also have to give quality responses, along with marking Best Response on your discussions and commenting on your responses to your discussions (which takes up alot of time). Hope this helps.

Well as you know I am dads caregiver so I'm home ALL day long. So I sit here earning cash. There's been a few days where I've made over $3. As far as the earnings per responses I've heard both 2 and 10 before you earn so I can't clarify this one at all. I feel it doesn't matter as I'm here for the fun and not so much the cash. I'd ask admin if you are wondering this much. Tee hee. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Wow! Ten hours each day? Some weekdays I spend 4 hours or so, on weekends less. I try to post photos every now & then. It takes a while on my computer being dialup. I probably don't start enough discussions. Today I have only started one so far. Most days it is two or three. I will make an effort to increase this. What I really want to know is, is it true that we need two or ten responses to a discussion before we start earning from it?

Hi jenny, until now, I still can't comprehend the mylot algorithm. From what I can decipher, you will not earn anything from posting a discussion. You will start earning from it if it has at least 10 responses. I'm not sure about this though. I normally post one thread a day sometimes within 3 or 4 days. Yet my earnings wasn't affected. It kept going up. I used to earn close to $2 a day. I made about 60 long liners responses. Presently, I spent less time here and my earnings will be a little over $1 or less. Take the instance of my earnings yesterday. I received $1 but I only respond to about 30 discussions and didn't post anything at all. I'm also confused how I got that earnings, LOL!

I hear that one only needed two responses to a discussion we start, before we earn from it. But I had one response yesterday that said the same as you, that one had to get 10 responses before we earnt anything fdrom a discussion. I wonder which is correct?

I learned about this 10 responses from the many discussions I read. Why not try on some experimenting of your own, jenny. I'm starting to do that myself today. I will post one discussion later. Than respond to about 50 posts. Make sure to give 10 or more lines responses. This seems to work better on my earnings too.

though i am really newbie but wat i have found is that ur discussion does not get counted until u get ur first response and this i have verified .I started a discussion and then the number in my bracket remained the same as it was earlier .And then when i got my first reaply to that discussion the number in bracket was increased by one That is it is only after that my discussion was counted and not before that. So i dont think it is 2 or 10 ,Once it is counted i shld get atleast say minimum of 2 cents (as most of us think that minimum is 2 cents )

I have heard many mylotters are complaining that they their earnings here are not as good as before eventhough they have increased participation. I can't assess myself since I never receive more than $1.00. How they rate is another question. I am not very clear on this . The other day my star rating went down and come back to see a few hours later its back again. They are full of surprises.

I start about one to two discussions a day if I have some nice idea to share. On responding, whenever I feel the will to have many responses, i can make about 30-40 responses in a day. I remember one time, I have not started a discussion and just concentrated on answering discussions, I managed to have a dollar earning the next day! effort really pays off. ;)

For me, it's really difficult to earn $1.00 per day from MyLot. Glad to hear your achievement. Every day, I only start not more than three discussions since I've been here. What's more, I reply to the discussions of others and send some images . I'll continue to try my best to start an interesting topic. Have a good day! ^_^

Hello,jennybianca,i think it is normal to have fluctuations in earnings,i also notice that the earnings had been dropped a bit after April, may be mylot had lowered the payment per post due to the large number of members. I will be able to earn 1 dollar a day if i have 30-40 replies,but i do not think starting discussions or getting replies from other members will help much in earnings,that is all based on my statistics,so i cannot make a conclusion. Work hard and hope you will earn 1 dollar per day.

A number of people have said that earnings dropped sometime in April, which would explain my decrease at about that time.
@Zmugzy (773)

I have a feeling that earnings have gone down for everyone. The most I have earned in a day is about 30 cents but that was a long time ago. Now I am lucky if I make more than 5 cents.
18 May 07
i think you have to start a lot of discussions a day about 10 and then answer 20 - 30 discussions but not just 2 lines maybe about 6-8 lines and hope others reply. mostly i dont make $1 infact i only made $1 once but i usually do ok im trying to get more referrals as i think with referrals its easier to earn more with mylot. if the referrals earn then you earn more. i try to think of good discussions to write but sometimes its hard. posting pics is a good idea if youve got a lot to post for example if you posted a pic every time you start a discussions and started 100 then youd make an extra dollar but i think you can make more than $0.01 for each pic depending on the quality and notes you add

My best so far is 56 cents in a day, maybe I did more than 30 responses and uploaded about 5 pics. Can't tell how many responses to my discussions but I ever got many replies to my discussions anyway. Usually I'am doing 35 to 40 cents per day and pics help a lot.
