myLot

Well, I'm a newbie to myLot and I'm not entirely certain how this works. I've been on here only for the last three days or so and I noticed today that no matter what my level of activity was I receive only 4 cents a day. The first day I was here, I responded to one discussion and I received 4 cents. The next day I did a lot more, commenting on a bunch of discussions and responses and responding to quite a few too. I still received only 4 cents the next day. At the rate this is going, I'll have to wait 100 days to get $4 and then I'll have to wait again for about 250 days to get to where i can cash out on myLot. I've seen ppl here saying that they've earned a dollar or more in a day and I jus wanted to ask the veterans here how they do that? What's your secret guys? I'd really love to know.

all i know is i enjoy joining discussions here in mylot and it really takes time if you want to make money in here. Just enjoy posting and answering discussions and sooner before you know it you'll get the minimum pay-out. Good luck and God Bless!

Welcome to mylot. Just hang in there. Give mylot a few weeks and respond to at least 25 discussions a day. You will at least make the minimum $10 payout if you do that....

I'm not planning on giving up anytime soon cos I think this is a really good concept. I've spent hours upon hours at Yahoo Answers replying to questions. It was really gratifying to see my points go up but it was kinda irritating that i couldnt really do anything with those points. This is much better.

It is possible to do but it takes alot of work, and I think it was easier to do so about 6 months ago than it is now. The easiest way to earn 1 dollar a day would be to start 100-200 new fresh posts or discussions.. unless the rates have dropped more since the last time I had... The rates very like the stock market... One time I did a little over 300 posts starting and responding, and earned 5 dollars in one day.. but I have never been able to do work up to that amount again as it took 12 hrs to do.. on my slow dial up. I thought for sure when I got a faster connection to work up to this much would be easy.. but it seems the more people that mylot got as members the more the rates dropped.. so I have no idea anymore... Other than to just experiementing by posting and responding as much as you can, and do a search for mylot tips and hints, as there is alot of discussions people started that can help out newbies too.

I am not a big earner either Galateagoddess, I cashed out once and now I am on the road again... One thing you sould know though, that if you respond to a thread more than once, you won't earn more than once. You can have a discussion on the net which is nice, and perhaps sometimes gives you more insight in things. If you are here for the money, then I feel you are in the wrong place. If you are here for the fun of meeting people, you are in the right place! At any rate, enjoy myLot.... be welcome!!

Thank you for your response. I can't really say it was very helpful cos even a noob like me knows enough not to post over n over again to the same discussion. But thanks anyway.

Hello & Welcome - thanks for finding one of my discussions worthy of a response =D I made payout in my first 2 weeks, which really surprised me. I'm aiming for the big $25 by the end of September, but I don't know if I'll get there - it's good to have dreams though =P I found that the best way for me to make money was to add a lot of interests - as many things as I can possibly think to be interested in, and I was responding to at least 50 threads a day. I actually think that you continue to earn money if you respond more than once to a thread, as I have held up several conversations and they have been my biggest earners, because we had such long, detailed and entertaining conversations - I think mylot got the gist. Lol. I start as many decent discussions as I can think of, and respond to everything that interests me, even though I'm actually not here just for the money. I'm up to $17 in four weeks, and I only spend a few hours on a day, and not necessarily every day. I'm sure you've worked out that it's quality more than quantity as well, even though you're a mylot noob, you don't seem stupid =] Also, adding pictures to discussions you start earns a little more, and the more people who respond to your discussions, the more you earn, which is handy =] They do half the work for you. lol Good luck with your mylotting 'career', I hope you learn to love it like I have =D Malyck.

While I am not a veteran here ( only been a member a week lol) I've earned $2.20. I think mostly it's because of the types of answers I give as well as the responses to discussions I've posted. I havent posted any pictures with my discussions yet, mainly because I dont know how, so im guessing that apart from repsonding thoughtfully and with more than one line is helping me a lot. Maybe that will help you too?

Well, I'd like to think that the responses I've been giving have also been appropriate and not just one liners. I see that even though u've been here just a week u seem to have responded to lots of discussions. How do u pick which threads to respond to? I don't seem to find too many that interest me... And the ones I do find have already been responded to by a million ppl who hav already said everything I wanted to say :)
