I've been here at MyLot for 3 weeks now, and my goal was to reach the $10 payout before the month was up. I succeeded in doing that, and then some! I'm so excited. I can't wait to see that money in my paypal account, so I can buy myself some new books to read. Have you reached the payout this month, and does it exceed the $10 minimum? What will you do with that money?

Congrats on making payout! I can not seem to make payout. I have another 4 dollars to go until I can reach payout. You must have some really good referrals who post. I have three who have posted and none have posted recently, at least not since referrals have increased to 50%. I would like to reach payout befor emarch is over but I really can not see that happening. -sigh- Well maybe if I work alot tonight I can make a dollar that would be ideal. A dollar a day. But that so it not going to happen.

Perhaps if I debated less I would get more best responses :p I tend to speak my mind alot and because some people do not know what debating is it results in alot of negative ratings on my part. I find that many people will not let you state your opinion without rating you negativley if it differs from theirs. Maybe if I was more easy going then I would get more higher rating. However, that is just not me.

It is possible. There were a couple of days that I made a dollar a day. Just yesterday I made a little over 75 cents. I post a lot here though, usually anywhere from 20-100 posts a day, depending on the amount of time I have. I've also gotten a lot of best responses, so I think that may be part of the reason my earnings have increased. I have no referrals, but am trying to get some, but it is not easy when you don't have proof of payment. As soon as I get my payment through paypal I will be posting pictures on my site, in hopes that I will get more referrals. Good luck on making this month's payout, I'm sure you can do it, just have some faith in yourself!

I personally do the same thing. I always forget about the rating, but when I go through my unresolved discussions I try to rate users then.

Hey congrats mate for reaching your goal but 353 posts in 3 weeks is something. You would have spent hell lot of time on my lot. And 10 dollars is very good as well that to just for 350 odd posts you must have many referals. I have only got 64 cents for 86 posts you won't believe but i am on mylot for a year now

I've become quite addicted to MyLot. The first day I was here I was quite addicted! lol. I have no referrals, I am just here a lot throughout the day.
26 Mar 08
same here! I've been a member for a year now. I've only earned $1.51 for all my posts. Though I wasn't obviously an active member for a year. But I'm back now, and I'm enjoying mylot more than I did a year ago. So hopefully, if I set my goals right then it won't be long and impossible to reach them.

That's really nice jenni, Congratulations. You are going at full speed. I have also got some best responses but my earnings have not increased at the way yours seems to have. You have been running at hare's speed. I don't know when I'll reach my payout??? I do hope soon. All the best to you

Thats awesome Jenni. Good for you! I set my payout for $50.00, I'll be halfway there before too long, so it'll be another month or so for me if I can keep going and have the time to spend on here. If you love to read you might want to check out a paperback swapping site. I've been a member of one for a year and have been able to get my massive collection down greatly while getting new books to read.. then reading them and swapping them with other readers. I can send an email from there if you'd happen to be interested. Just an idea.

To tell you the truth, I become quite attached to my books. I know, it's silly, but if I liked a book that I read, I keep it on the shelf just in case I want to read it in the future. The books that I don't ever intend on reading again I usually sell, or give to friends. I know of a website that someone showed me that I can sell my books to them, no cost for shipping or anything, so I may begin doing that with the books I've read. Thanks for the advice though, greatly appreciated.

Congratulations on reaching the payout jenni. I'm sure it has to feel good, to reach such an accomplishment. I myself have been here close to 3 months now, and am now at $9.82. I anticipate I will reach payout by the end of the month, if nothing goes wrong. Once I reach payout, the money will be sent from my paypal account to my savings acount. That is what I do with all my online earnings.

The only other earnings I made on the internet, were through Epinions.com, and I spent that on dinner for my boyfriend and I one evening. Do you have any recommendations for earning online? I am trying to make a considerable amount each month, to help with bills, so we can cut them back so it will be easier for us when we go into buying a new home. I would love any advice you can offer.

I have the same goal before the month ends too. but it looks so hard for me, I am currently at about 7,6 and I still have 2,4 to go and there are no free days in front of me to stay here for a long time to make more posts. I have been here in myLot for a few months. The first few weeks were not good at all. I didn't stay very active here because the earnings were not very good for the posts you send. I used to make a few posts but earned so little and that caused a long time of inactivity of me. but I like to chat and communicate with other people and thought this would still be a nice place for some information, and having fun. By having fun I can reach payout oneday, but it will take so long (this was what I thought those days) After a few weeks, I checked here again and found a discussion that I was really interested in. I posted a very long and detailed response and then very long comments. When I checked my earnings the next day, I made 34 cents and this was a record for me. this improved my activity on mylot again. I have been trying to be active here since that day and have earned some money. I am already getting close to payout here,didn't really expect that in the first days but it is nice to see that now. If only I could reach the payout before the month ends... There is something special with you :) Your post count is only about 300 and you have reached payout. It looks you are doing a very good job here. I would like to cangrulate you for that. and also, it is not easy to post that many in just 3 weeks. In addition, there is something I strongly wish (or hope) about mylot. I hope they will never decrease the earnings again, just like when I started. Because the current tune for the earnings is looking great. At least I am feeling that I am getting closer to the payout limit as I stay more active... Happy earnings jenni! and congrats again!

I'm glad you are trying to be more active. MyLot is great, as I've learned in the past couple of weeks. Just keep your head up high and don't even think about the earnings, and that is when they will start coming in.

I personally try to do about 20-100 posts a day, and so far, I've been able to do that. I aim high on my posts, and use good quality I believe. Just keep up the good work!

Wow that is awesome, hopefully I will be able to reach 10 dollars before the month is out. I'm so close to the 10 dollar mark. But I'm so excited for you. You worked hard for you earnings and you deserve it. When you just let go and chill you will be suprise how much you will earn. So to make this short congratulations on this accomplishment, and I hope to see you making more in the future.

Wow thats great Jenni. I sure guess you put in a lot of effort and time here in myLot as I am also just about a month old and Im only to my 150+ post and only about $4 earned. But still there are days left for March. Well I have to try to reach that goal of $10 before end of april or mid April and would save it for my son review class as he is about to take exams in University this year. All my earnings are mostly for my son. Glad to know you will enjoy the fruits of yoru labor and you earned it girl!

I will definitely make payout and then some next month, hopefully over $15. I will put the money into my savings account, just as I do with all the extra little payouts I receive from online "work." CONGRATS on reaching your goal and making payout! Kepp up the great work. :)

Ohh, thats even cool jenni, i didn't even get right now, as i have 600+posts and i am still stuggling to reach minimum payout for this month. And the reason might be that you comment all the responses you get in your discussion...huh,,, i also started this and maybe its a lil bit easier to comment out your own discussions rather than fidning some good discussions here in mylot. And also congrats for your success... Happy earnings!!!

No,,no,, i also experiment that thing, that mylot pays us for comment or not. And i find that its the same amount mylot pay us for commenting as well as posting response. The difference is the only one that commenting doesn't increase our number of post. That's the only reason that you reached this months payout for only 360 posts... and mine is 614 and i am still struggling a little bit to reach my first payout...lol Keep posting...

From what I hear, you don't get any extra money for commenting in your own discussions. I could be wrong though.

No, it may be less for you. It all depends on the quality of your posts and the length. If you just post a few one liners a day you will get nowhere. There are people here that just respond to a couple discussions a day and make nearly a dollar, but they answer with long quality responses.

Ah okey... i'll take your advice... after all i just respond few lines if there questions are too specific... i also post interesting topic and sometimes if i had to know something about mylot... i don't hesitat to ask it... like the star above my name and how do we add credit to the number beside my name... By the way do you know how it goes??? because even though there are replies... i don't see any credits to the number beside my names... thanks by the way...

Is there any expression error in this response?

Its nice that at last you have reached your goal. yes i think this month most of the users are reaching payout. it is due to new income boost and off course due to the effort here. i have also reached it.

I did a very clever thing with my money, I use my free money per say, and used it to get a website that pays me a monthly income. But, now I just let my free money sit in paypal and draw more free money from the interest.

Congrats! I have reached payout twice so far since I have been here. My payment will be over the ten dollar minimum as well. I am saving all the money I earn on the internet for the summer. I want to be able to take the kids to some fun places when the weather warms up.

I'm probably going to buy some new books with my first time earnings, and then after that all of my earnings will be going into my savings account. I want to buy a new computer, and I know I will have to earn a lot, but I'm willing to make the commitment.

Just post post post. And don't post one liners, because your never going to get anywhere that way. Try to post 4-8 lines per post, and make sure you use good punctuation and grammar. Refer your friends too! Another thing, don't think about the money, just think about all the discussions you can respond too, because if you just think about the money, you will just get annoyed by it at first. I've been here for a month, and it's taken me that long to make my $10, so remember that.

Well first off congratulations. I love hearing about people that make some extra money on Mylot. I plan on saving up my money until i have 50 dollars plus and buying some stocks. I have plenty of money ready to put in but i want to see how far my time can go. I want to see how much my time is worth so i am averaging everything out to see how much money i can make an hour and from the stocks. Pretty much the general think i am doing is making the money investing it and then send all the other income to reinvest. It sounds pretty good but i dont know how well it will do off paper. =]
