Earnings Changing Amounts

I normally wouldn't post this question, but wish to know how often it happens. Have you ever had your earnings change 3 times in one day? Yesterday I needed .15 when I logged in to make payout and by the end of the day it was changed to only .11. This morning I have another update and now have enough for payout. In other words, they were all good changes, so I'm quite happy. If just making replies to all the people that answered my question makes my earnings change in the evening, then you can be sure I will keep posting a detailed reply to as many responses, as I have something new to say about the topic. I did post 2 very long posts in reply to my discussion.

I never pay that much attention to my earnings. When it gets close to payout I will usually check out how much ive made but mostly I just dont worry about it.

yes today it keeps changing, I think it is just the computer system adjusting as posts are deleted or added, nothing is final until payout anyway.

Your right nothing is final until payout. This is the first time I have had two days in a row my earnings went up several times that day. I hope this continues, as my daughter is in college. She needs help paying expenses.

As of a few months ago myLot updates the earnings here quite often so there is the possibility of fluctuactions a few times a day. Also realize that some earning loss or gains can be gained etc from a post you made or responded to months ago as well as recently. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I think this happens when people comment in old discussions where you have responded, or even started the discussion. Since the post that is drawing the attention happened in the past, MyLot has to go back and re-allocate the funds accordingly, just as if you had responded to a discussion that you earned from in the past, but today it became deleted. I hope this isn't speaking too much on the algorithm

I think that must be why the earnings increase, as several of my discussions have been answered by my new friends. I don't usually go out recruiting for friends, but these 3 people have made excellent posts on my discussions. Thanks for the reply.

I notice mine going up or down a few cents almost every day but usually only once, soon after the update. Today it's happened several times. The amount for March payout has changed too. No doubt it's because they're working on final calculations to do payout in the next few days.

Its been good news for me and hope this is just the first month that payout will be amazing. I use to go down a little each month.

it happened to me here also. i got my earning fluctuating throughout the day.i think it may be due to mylot adjustments. still it feels bad when that is reduced a lot.

Good for you. I'm so happy for you. It happened to me too before. I had an update of my earning at around 8 pm my local time. The next day was the last day before payout and I noticed I got more than $1.00 raise. I was so happy and excited of course. Even now, I sometimes see a cent or two being added to my earnings during the day and it just feels great! Long live MyLot!
