I have noticed that they are changing their payment here on mylot again. I have opened a couple of discussions here a few days ago, and not posted any reply to others discussions. I have not made any money for opening my discussion even tough I did have replies. Is this new, I tought you got paid for opening a discussion too

I don't know what is going on with all the new changes, but I am not very happy because I've not made payout in 2 months. It does seem that I've been working hard and getting little satisfaction from my efforts. It is nearly impossible to make $1 for a day's work now. On a GOOD day I am averaging only about $.60 I think you should be paid for opening discussions to which you receive replies, but I doubt they would agree with me on that.

I know what you mean. It used to be really easy to make $1 per day but not anymore. I usually don't have much time here so if I make 50 cents I'm happy, although since I'm not working right now I've been able to make between 70 cents to 1 dollar something.

Is it so? Then why we are to start discussion? Did you get any response to those discussions that you started? If so, then those were counted as each 1 post for you, isn't it? So why it was such that you were not paid at all?Its very bad I think.

subha12 as far as I understand we do get paid for discussions starte only after we have a response.Which I suppose is fair enough. Sommetimes what happens is that the person starts the discussion late at night and it doesn't show on the next day's payment, just the day after.

Hi I think the discussion with yuwie link is deleted. This person is new here and making false claim about mylot. I am paid twice in mylot. I also understand your point arkaf.

I'm just starting out (obviously!), and have no idea how payouts work. I looked everywhere and can't find anything that explains it, am I missing something? I just figured I'll just keep posting and see what happens.

I couldn't figure out how much and for what we get paid either. But I'm sure that the guys on myLot are having good fun reading us trying to figure out their system.

I'm a little bit confused about the payment, too. Where I can find the very clear answer?

Being a member of mylot for a year now. I had noticed that long before but dont worry because they will credited it to you, you just need to rate who responded to you and reply to them if you can time to time and resolved your unresolved discussion so they will credit it to you. For me i think they dont really credit it daily or every update i think the bases for that are the responders. You will really earn through participating others discussion and in the end of the month thats when they will add your earnings from your discussion.

Did you reply to any of the responses to your discussion? I use new discussions to get things started; and then I reply to most of the people who reply to me and I do make money. Some days I am so busy responding to the replies to a discussion that I started that I do not have any time to reply to other people's discussions; but, I still earn money for that day.

mistissa I would check again if it was still missing I would check with myLot administration because I have been paid from posting new discussions as usual. I know that sometimes I have to wait an extra day because I posted late at night, but when I add things up it still makes sense and yes I was paid for those discussions.

I too try to reply to lots of discussions. I have noticed that is is more worth my while to reply then to open a new discussion. I make more, not much but some.

They seem to separate the categories between participation and referrals; but the way earnings are concentrated between posting new discussions and/or responding to current discussions is a bit confusing. Do we or don't we earn on starting discussions of popular interest with an added image? Ok, if we earn that way how about starting discussions not popular with no image? Ok, and then finally if all we do is bring in referrals who post an awful lot and start 5-10 new posts a day, then myLot has three solid eraning-income venues, right ? No wonder so many like this place . . .

Hello dear mistissa. Now I seem to be confused about this problem as I have read and responded a few of the similar discussions. Still I think that we are paid for posting new discussions, though we don't get paid for responses to our discussions. Is that true? I am really puzzled and confused now since your case shows the case of it. I hope that we will get the correct answer from some other mylotters here. Thanks for your discussion.

I do not know how the payments are figured. I make a whole bunch one day and then hardly any the next. But I have to say that starting the discussions are probably more important, so the compensation ought to go that way. If we didn't start new discussions everyone would just post to old posts and it will get boring fast.

For me, the best to have a lot of earning here is to reply to a discussion rather that posting a discussion. If your discussion you made are not having a lot of response, maybe the chance of your earning is too low. But if you concentrate to post a reply and make it a quality reply, I guess you have a good earning in the next updated earning schedules. Good Luck.
