$1...18 posts...all by the end of May?

Can I make my goals? - My goal for the May is to have 850 posts, and to earn payout again. I currently only need 18 posts and $1.00--I'm really hoping to make it again this month! I'd better get back to posting!

Can I do it? I saw another myLotter's post about how he earned nearly $5 in one day...but he did say he was on for about 14 hours straight (yikes!) I took a couple of days to have a yard sale (I still gotta get rid of a LOT of stuff!) and to work (I didn't really earn anything that day YET) but I think I can do this! Whenever I get this close to payout, myLot earnings tend to go real slow...and I get frustrated! But if I get it, I'll have made my goal of reaching payout this month as well as my posting goal of 850! Can I do it?

Hey...YOU CAN DO IT! I am assuming from the title of your post you only need a buck right? Well, hey, yesterday i had a ton f spare time on my hands so I spent it on mylot, enjoying myself no less...and I made over a dollar today and I am well over my goal of payout! As for the posting goal, 18 posts should be a piece of cake once it has topics that interest you. so Good luck!

One way to get to that number of posts is to respond to discussions. We earn one point for each response providing it soesn't get deleted. Then a trick here, you can earn a second point in that same discussion you respond to by adding a comment to someone elses response. So if you do that in 9 discussions you get that 18 points in about 5 or 10 minutes time. Hope this helped a few here. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thanks Roxanne! I believe I've been posting all over the place today...and having a ton of fun doing it! I'm well on my way to making the 850-post mark now; we shall see how tomorrow goes...I can't wait! (Ideally I'd like to make even MORE for payout, but hey, I'm not greedy!). And topics are much better now--maybe everyone's back from their vacations!

Thanks for the tip! I never really thought about it, but if it works, I'll be commenting on EVERYBODY'S discussion responses!

Sure you can do it!! You just have to grab yourself a cup of something chocked full of caffine and let those fingers dance across the keyboard! I'm pretty close, too, so I'm pretty hopeful that I'll make payout this month myself.

Good luck to you too! I don't think it'll be too much of a problem, as long as I can keep typing up a storm! I can't imagine spending HOURS on here--even with DSL, the most I can really take is about 4 to 6 hours! Thanks!

Sure you can do it. Relax and don't worry about doing it though! Just find subjects you like to talk about, open your mind and let the words flow. I actually don't look at my earnings very often and just keep typing. It is surprising how quickly those notices of payout start popping up in my inbox. Good luck and happy chatting on mylot!

I just happened to on early this morning, and only saw yesterday's earnings...I must have missed when it rolled over, because I was in the middle of a response and once it went through, my earnings rolled over! I guess I'm now on some sort of quest to try to make payout each month--I'm so close to payout I can taste it!

Tee hee. That is great. I would love to be on when it rolls over. Neat! Good luck. Each month, huh? I reach it about every other month currently

Yes, though Grandpa Bob provided us all with some valuable information about increasing our earnings. Perhaps we'll all start getting paid even more!

You can do it!!! Don't get frustrated, just do it. I will respond to everyone of you discussions before the end of the months. Sometimes we have to just be there for our friends. Get working.

Thanks! I've been trying to go through my friends' discussions and responding to those, as well as just checking the bottom of the page to see what sorts of other discussions are being posted. I'm still in shock--some claimed yesterday they earned nearly $5 and he already had 183 posts!

That person has a better myLot work ethic than I do. More power to them.

Yep, well remember sometimes, it is not just the amount of posts that add up. It is the quality content and the links and pictures added as well that can really help out out your earnings...

Why not? If you really want to achieve this, than by all means, go for it. Start with the easiest part: posting your 18 posts. After that calculate how much that made you and then start working on the rest of that dollar you need. I know you'll make it, just give it your best

Thank you....I can't figure out the earnings though , since I'm inconsistent on what I do each day (starting new discussions, responding to discussions, myLot code or adding pictures). I guess we'll have to wait for the final tally when they update the earnings!

Yes, I have been quite busy since last night! I'm still posting away, waiting for earnings to be updated (we're now at the earnings updated 1 day ago, so it may be a little bit longer!). I'm going to continue for the money now; it won't be much, but I'm going to try to get what I can!

What I suggest is put the earning thoughts in the back of your head and just write and respond and add comments to your respopnses. What you want to do can be done in about 6 hours at one sitting if you worked hard. But it can be easily achieved by the end of the month. Just don't think too hard about it and work away. Good luck as well, I am sure you;ll make it. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thanks Grandpa Bob! Your uber successful discussion (how I earned nearly $5 in one day!) was inspiring to say the least, and the tip you provided earlier will definitely help me to get some more money for this payout! Good luck in your endeavours!

dang my butt would be so numb if I sat here that long I would not be able to stand up. You have 4 days and what is left of tonight to make that 850th post yeah You can do it. I have a hard time setting goals in mylot, partly it takes away form my enjoyment when I do that. I spend alot of time reading and going back to discussions that I am in with friends we are all enjoying. Then there are days I am just to busy to even get on my lot more then just long enough to poke around a few minutes. I want to savor and enjoy. But if I do not have work to do, making 20 25 posts a day is easy, and is about my norm.

angel, 20 to 25 posts a day is quite good! I've had problems lately finding some good discussions, heck, even starting new ones! I have so much other stuff going on right now that I can't keep my head on straight! My butt goes numb that long too, but I have to get up frequently enough for a quick ciggie poo!

I'm sure you can do it! I see that you've already reached your posting goal of 850! I don't know if I'm going to make payout this month or not. I currently have over $8, but I'm just not sure how much more time I'm going to have this month. The last few days of the month are always the busiest for me, because I have so many things that have deadlines that fall at the end of the month. Mylot isn't one that I've ever really pushed to reach, but I just might find myself pushing for it this month! I guess that just depends on how close I am when the earnings update again!

Read grandpa bob's tips (previous page of the discussion)--quite a few of us are now utilizing his suggestions to earn more money. I can't wait to see what my earnings look like in about 2 hours!

Thanks foxy! I'm trying--the numbers are starting to creep up, slowly but surely, and I still have about 8 to 10 hours left to post! I'll definitely be on the prowl this week!

If you really want it and have the time,then I am sure that you can do this and reach payout and your goal. I know I won't reach goal or payout this month as my computer won't come on after I shut it down last friday and I am using the laptop which I don't like so I won't be doing as much and I was sure hoping to make the money. Good luck with your goal and I hope you make it!!

Thank you! Before this post, I was up to 839 posts (11 to go!) and it's only 10:22 PM! Grandpa Bob was kind enough to share a secret (or two) about how he gets those high earnings with all of us, so I'm more confident than ever! Thanks for responding and sorry to hear about your computer!

You can do it girl if you put your mind to it. respond to as many discussions as you can in a certain length of time and then go and post some of your own for another length of time. You will be surprised at how quickly you will get there! :-)

I'm trying to find some good discussions now (I HAD to go answer my cell phone to talk business, so I lost about 15 minutes). I posted a couple so far today (like two or three), plus I've been all over the place answering discussions--I kind of lost track! The true test will be tomorrow, when the earnings are updated! Thanks for the well wishes!
