This is my 2000th post! I remember when I was waiting to make 500 posts just so I could cut and paste without being suspected of being a scammer. In my over a year and a half at MyLot, I've answered discussions on everything from TV shows to serious religious debate. I've enjoyed meeting the many varied people here, even if I don't agree with some of you and think you're crazy or bigoted.
I plan to be on MyLot for a long time, and I must admit to being in awe of people who have over 10,000 posts. I don't know how you can arrange to spend that much time here. I certainly can't, although I try to come every day. One of my new goals is to figure out how much I have to post to earn $1 a day here. The highest I've earned so far is 64 cents. I think I'll just have to start in the morning and keep posting all day until midnight mountain time when MyLot switches over to a new day.
I can't believe I made it here. I usually have trouble sticking with something, especially something as slow to build as MyLot payouts, but I'm glad I stayed, even if I did only earn a little over $23 in a year and a half.
What do you all think? Are you near some big MyLot goal such at 2000 posts? How do you plan to reach it?

Really happy to share with your great success. Most of the time,it extremly makes all of us inspired. Compared to you, I am pretty new to mylot.I have been here for almost 3 months.It is a good time.Not only my english has been improved greatly,but also I learned a lot of new things.That is,even one items,you could know different opinions from people of different cultures.
I am not in the position to know when my post will be up to 1,000.It is amazing undoutedly.No wonder my payout will exceed $10 at that time.Pitiful,I don't have sufficient time on mylot.I hope more time will be squeezed out for mylot.
Have a nice day.

Congratulations first, for posting the 2000th post. I think I can easily achieve this target in less than a year. most probably within next 6 month. Wish me all the best.

Congratulations then. that's an achievement here in mylot.
I actually reached my 3000th post just recently and was very happy about it. I posted a blog entry of that in fact.
Reagarding my earnings, I guess my highest was more than a dollar -- $1.something.
Now I'm waiting to reach 4000th post.

Congratulations on reaching 2000!
I have been here for the past 14 months and I too am in awe of those that have over 10,000 posts. I just don't know how they manage to spend so much time on here. I think my arms would just about fall off if I were to try! LOL
The most I've ever made on here was 48 cents, I believe. I couldn't imagine making a dollar or more here a day, especially without any active referrals. But that's okay, because I'm not looking to get rich from this site anyway. LOL

I just reached 100 posts today. My next goal is 200. I think my goal after that will be 500. I am having a lot of fun so far. It did take me WAY too long to get to 100, but I don't think it will take as long to reach 200 and up, now that I have the hang of it.
As for earning $1/day (or more), I have learned in other programs that the secret is ACTIVE referrals! That will save you a lot of time to enjoy the money that is actually coming in! I need to work on getting active referrals over here myself. Maybe my goal should be 10 active referrals, not just the number of my own posts...hmmmm

Congratulation to you for reaching the 2000th post.
As you have rightly said,the main reason for people to be on mylot is because of its enjoyment.Although,money is definitely an additional factor.
I think,now a days you can earn more,than your earlier days.
And as for your new goal:
One of my new goals is to figure out how much I have to post to earn $1 a day here. The highest I've earned so far is 64 cents.
I think how much you post is what really matters,and not the number of posts.
If you post atleast 10 sentences,the rumor says that you can earn upto 5-7cents for a post.But,its only a rumor.
Well,if you post responses like the one now[This is my 2000th post! I remember...............reach it?],I think 25-30 posts itself is sufficient.
All the best
Cheers! Have a great day
Happy mylotting and happy earnings.

Congratulations on reaching the 2000! I'm near 3000 posts I think. Can't remember how close I am but will find out when I post this. I never have a plan on here, I'm just entirely random with my approach to myLotting as I am with most things I'm afraid lol!
I've been on myLot for more than two years now and I can't believe I'm still here either. I never usually stick at anything online for that long but I like it here. It gets on my nerves sometimes and I disappear for a couple of weeks but I keep coming back. I very rarely make payout in a month, I will this month although that will be the first time in three months that I have. I don't know how people can manage more than 10000 posts either. I can't imagine how much time that must take. I don't have that much time to spend on here anyway, but even if I did I think it would maybe drive me crazy after a while!

Congratulations on reaching 2000 posts, and Glad you have decided to keep an active member in here when you can. It has been a long time since I reached 2000. I reached 6000 the end of last month, and was just as happy as you. I have a very busy life at times, so somedays I am on here more than others.
Good Luck with making over $1 in a day. It is actually not that hard to do if you keep at it. I have done so a couple of times lately, and it does feel Good. I also have my days where I am lucky to make much at all, but I continue to enjoy coming here, and will be here for a long long time I am sure.

Wow!!! Two Thousand posts is quite a milesone!!! Good for you. I remember when I first joined MyLot, and wondered if this site was really going to pay off for me. Well, it did, and I love it!! I have made enough extra money on here, to keep me drinking good coffee for a long long time.

Congratulations to you. I answer and post discussion when I can. I try my best to get this site open at work and at home but I have other business to attend to so I don't earn that big here. But I did get my second payout. I am hoping to get $10 at least every month. It is real hard though because I have a full time work and I have a family...really busy. Good luck to us both though on opur targets.

I understand. I'm very busy too. I have two real writing jobs that pay actual money instead of the pennies I earn here. Plus, I am active in the Green Party of Mass. Still, I enjoy hanging out here for a little bit of every day just to see what everyone has to say.

Congrats to you! You're doing just wonderful here on myLot! The 2,000 points you have is quite an accomplishment. I really look up to all myLotters who have more points than I do because I know they're successful, and they're obviously doing something right! I'm kind of curious as to why you earned only $23 in a year and a half because I've been on myLot since October 2007 (almost 7 months) and have already earned almost $28. That's very strange, but perhaps it depends on the quality of posts. I guess "bigger is better" maybe. I have a tendency toward long discussions and responses, so maybe that's it. I'm certainly not here to brag! My deepest apologies. You're doing great, and you have triple the points I have! I try to get on here at least once a day like you do, even if it's just to respond to three discussions or to start a couple of my own. The most I've made in a day was probably around 70 cents or something, so I haven't reached the dollar-a-day mark yet either. When I find out how, I'll let you know! I have an easy time making money fairly quickly because I can type about 80 or 90 words per minute. That really helps save time. I don't know how fast you type, but of course, you're only going to type as fast as the ideas come to your head! I'd love to share more with you. Between the two of us, I'm sure we could figure out what works in earning at least a dollar a day. I know it's possible! I'm also in awe of people with over 10,000 points! I just stare at their points in disbelief. Many of them are my friends as well. I just need to get with them and figure out their secrets! I know a lot of our earnings are based on our star rating as well. I hope some of these things helped! I'd love to hear from you, though, since you should be the one telling me how to be successful on this site. You're the one with all the points! Great job, friend. Keep up the good work too!

Hello there and thanks so much for best response! I'm still very excited about this discussion because you've clearly encouraged all of us to keep on posting! I see you're coming upon your 2,500th post already! Good for you. Keep up the good work. You're such a great example and role model for all of us. Before you know it, your points will have added up to over 10,000! You're a quarter of the way there. I know I need to do the same! Thanks again and have a very productive day, my friend.

Wow!!! Congrats! That is very impressive! I'm barely at 200 posts! 500 posts seems so far away... I can't even comprehend how far away 2000 posts are!
MyLot is a great site! Now whenever I have a question about anything, this is the first place I go! I also really love to give other people advice and help them out whenever I can!
A lot of people complain that you don't make a lot of money for the time and effort you put into MyLot, but that doesn't bother me. Talking to people about topics I enjoy, making new friends, getting answers for questions I have... that's really why I'm here! It's not for the money. I can spend my time posting here on MyLot and make 10 cents... or I can go on another internet forum and talk about the exact same things and not make any money!

I totally agree. Mylot is a cool social networking site that happens to earn you a few cents. It's better than Yuwie, which really markets it's social networking and money making capacity.

I have made 2 payouts so far and I'm likely to make it this month for the third.

Great first discussion for me to be involved in as a new register to MyLot. The object is to write of topics of interest and I guess you can reach 10,000.

I am still trying to reach the one dollar a day post. I think unless I am on all day, that is impossible. I have so much going on with my life that I cannot do more than what I am doing right now. I have not looked at how many posts I reached, but I noticed one day I could copy and paste (the stuff I wrote and links, not whole articles -sort of do not want to be arrested for copyright violations.)
I do get angry at those who do not not agree and instead of saying nicely, "I do not agree but I respect you for your view, this is a free country, etc," they go in a rant and then bring out things because they have this relative who is the exception to the rule, etc, and then talk about me with someone else.
I am trying to get to the 10,000th post. Oh and trying to get $1.00 plus a day.

Hi cripfemme! Congratulations on your 2000th post. I could see now that you are over 2000! Good job! I, too am awed with the mylotters who have reached the top users position and I am not quite sure how I can get to that. I guess, I have to spend more time her, type fast and think fast. Just my thoughts dear friend! Take care and have a nice day!

i'm near to my 2000 post, it is one of my goal to reached 2000 this month, hope i can make it. i am here for almost 3 months and have paid already last april 11 of $12.04 and now i'm on the way to $25. My goal this month is to reached 2000 post and $25 dollars payout for may 15. last february and march i am not active here because i need to priorities my studies than myLot. i am lucky for 2 months i made the payout even lesser time spent here. this month and next month would be my highest earnings here because summer time no class so i can spend more time here posting comments and discussions.
Congrats my friend.
