Hot diggity damn!!! Many of you might know I was trying for 91 cents last night. I felt pretty good, actually, that I'd make it, but I didn't realize by how much!! I did $1.69 yesterday!!! They were a bit late in posting results this morning, but after I finished responding to someone's discussion, there it was!!! $15.78!!! OK - that doesn't even give me a half-tank of gas, but still!! WOOHOO again!!! Thank you everyone for wishing me well in that relatively minor quest! To succeed in even a small thing feels pretty darned good!!! Now - on to June!!!

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel good to reach goals we've set for ourselves? I'm that way too, I stray too much. Fortunately, I love myLot so much that I can't seem to get enough. I have a tough time leaving it to do my housework! LOL I didn't make as much as you, but I managed $14.59 for May. I joined here on May 13, so I think I did pretty well, too. Isn't this a great place? Make friends AND money!

I am MORE than impressed!!! It took me THREE months and you've been here just over a half-month and have earned nearly as much!! WOW!!! Congratulations!! I have the same problem pulling myself away. I'm supposed to make dinner for my mother and get her meds ready, etc, but sometimes we eat "pot luck" - whatever is there or we order out. I"m a bad daughter, some days!! But, thank you and best of luck to you in June!!

I believe, iceman, that you have to have many posts with good content and quality. That is what I've been told so far. I spend a lot of time here, answering many posts and starting a few of my own discussions. Do that every day and it will add up. Good luck to you!

Well done on that one... I actually managed to earn $20.45 for may so I'm very happy... but then, I have a VERY active referral who actually earned me more than I earned for myself... LOL... that's the kind of referral you want.

LOL... well, I have six referrals total... but only two are active. One really good one and the other who only makes a couple of posts per day. I'd give you the inactives if I could... I keep hoping they'll become active one day.

I'm chuckling because not only is that the kind of referral I need, I'll take ANY referral you have!!! I'm flying this plane solo. Can't get anyone to sign up!! No one I know likes to write anything. They'll barely read, and write as little as possible. I don't know - my two greatest pleasures are reading and writing. So, for now, I am a sole proprietor on this.

Thank you! It did take me a little while to catch on to what was and what could be. Once I got comfortable and found my "legs", it was a bit easier. But, thinking of topics can be rough!! Trying to make that gray matter do what it hasn't done in a while - WHEW! But, it may be a minor accomplishment, but it is STILL an accomplishment, and I'm happy about it!

hi jerzgirl. great job you did there. $15 is something else in mylot. one question though, did you do this through your own efforts or were you able to hit $15 with the help of a couple of active referrals? hope to hear from you jerz. congratualtions and enjoy the cash from mylot!!!

I haven't gotten one single referral. Not even people who are desperate for money want to be bothered writing. I like to write, so this works for me. But, thank you very much! I appreciate it!

Awesome job well done! You must be proud to have done it and saw the results. I know it's a great feeling when you put all your power behind what your trying to accomplish and you see the results for I have done it myself and I was excited. I wish you the best of luck in the months to come and may you keep that positive attitude up and strive for more. Good luck take care.

Thank you very much. Yes, it feels good to have set a goal and to have met it - even if it seems minor to most, it still feels good and I won't beat myself up over it. If I could do cartwheels, I'd have done more than one!!

Yey!! Congrats and well under 400 posts too. Welcome to the Club of Mylot Members Who Got Paid Again. I've been paid nearly every month for 18 months at Mylot. One of the best sites on the Net!

I apparently hit 400 just a bit ago. But, thanks!! It took me three months, though. It's not a repeat. But, I plan on future repeats. I just don't know if I can set specific $ goals at this point.

That's awesome! Great job! I was feeling bad about getting you a little discouraged...I thought you were just starting for the day at 11pm last night! Anyway, I thought I worked pretty hard here yesterday but yo beat me by quite a bit, I did make my goal though, so that's all that really matters.

You go girl whoop whoop. Takes me months to make payout. I guess I could spend more time here but I have other places I can go to make more quicker. But I still love Mylot and will probably never leave. I dont mind getting 10 bucks every few months.

No problem hon check out www.mturk.com that is not a referral link. You can do alot of writing assignments there if ya want it's kind of come & go as you please. Some days there will be stuff to do somedays nothing you want to do. Check it often. I have made 70.00 since March. I love it there. And you dont have to worry about getting referrels either they dont take em.

If money were the only draw (although it is what got me here initially), I wouldn't be here. I love being able to write like this - I wish I could make a living wage doing this. But, thanks!! I appreciate the kind words!! If you don't mind sharing where I could also make more quicker, I wouldn't mind knowing about them. But, if you'd rather keep them close to your heart, that's OK, too. Thanks again!

Great news jerzgirl, and congratulations. I was aiming for 40 cents yesterday, which would have brought mine up to $14. What do you know, I actually earned a whole dollar! A few cents came from referrals but mainly it was from my responses. Now we can focus on a new month. I know I can reach payout again this month but I would be happy to beat what I earned in May.

congrates to all the paid members...i have been first time trying this site. i dont know how does it pays? can you please tell me what the payrate for each and every activity at mylot.com so that i can also get the maximum out of my time
2 Jun 08
Hi msinha1999, if you read the myLot guidelines you will see that there is no set rate and you can't work out how earnings are calculated. You need to write good responses and start interesting discussions. The more you write and the more responses you get to your discussions, the more you will earn.
@jerzgirl (9232)
• United States
1 Jun 08
I know what you mean. I think starting discussions pays more, but we need to respond as well. If all we did was start discussions, who'd answer them??? LOL Thanks for the kind words, though. And congrats on making your goal as well!! (Exceeding it, even!) Now - on to June!!
@ZephyrSun (7381)

Great job! Maybe June will bring double the amount. Depending on what you drive that could almost be a half of tank of gas. Not for me though. Good luck on June earnings!!

I know - I put gas in by the $20 worth. That's a little over 5 gallons. I'm assuming I have a 12-14 gallon tank, so that's maybe a touch over 1/3 tank. Any help is better than none. Thanks! Time to push into June!!

I was a slow starter - it took me 3 months to get there. But, one of my responders to this discussion just started this month on the 13th. She almost reached $15 herself!! That's some dedicated typing!!! LOL But, if someone uses dial-up and gets one of the discounted ones, you can pay for your Internet service with MyLot. That's nothing to sneeze at. One less bill - especially one that's considered a luxury - is ALWAYS a good thing!!
@venticius (156)

That's awesome. I made 44 cents yesterday. I didn't really have a goal because it was my first day, but now I understand how it works. Congrats! And that's so true about the tank of gas. 15 dollars doesn't even pay for a quarter of my tank!

I never had a goal either until I tried for that last $.91, mostly to see if I could. My days are very irregular, so I'm not on, say, today nearly as much as tomorrow and maybe hardly at all the day after. So, as the month goes on, I'll know better if I can try for a target. Good luck and have fun! That's the most important thing.

Congratulations! I hope you reach your June goal, too. I haven't decided whether I'm going to actively try to reach payout in June or not. I reached it from May, but a few dollars were from several months combined, when I wasn't very active at all! I would go for weeks and weeks without ever signing in. But I've been back pretty active for the last two weeks or so.
@jerzgirl (9232)

I kept my payout at the lowest, so it won't seem so hard to reach. This was my first time to reach it, so I'm hoping I can at least reach it in June as well. I sign in every day, but I don't feel like writing much every day.

Hey that is great! congratulations. I just started this. so we will see how June goes. 15.78 is money, no matter how little it is. It adds up. Yes even small successes count.

Wow! Congratulations! I am wondering how many post you made for that $1.69 earnings. My highest so far is i think 1 dollar only and it has participation of my referrals. If I get 15 dollars every month that would be pretty cool, its about 12 liters of gas already in our country.

I don't know, really, but I know I did start more discussions than I usually do and the other day that I did that, I also made more than $1.00, so I think they might pay more. We shall see how this month turns out. And, thanks!!

Hey - welcome to our little world!! I know it seems weird to be so happy about what is otherwise a very small amount, but still....it's a recognition of accomplishment and that has meant something to me. I lost my job in February and have had a hard time just feeling worthy of anything. This has helped so much!! Good luck to you!!
