Mylot : The Fluctuating Money

United States
June 5, 2008 5:40am CST
I have heard people say that they have lost money from their earnings,has this happened to you?If so, how much money have you lost off of your earnings?If not do you know any of your mylotting friends who have lost money from their earnings?Has anyone else gained money on their earnings?If so, how much did you gain?I have been on Mylot for about two months now,and my fiance is also on mylot,and there has been like twice that we have notice that we have mysteriously gained a few cents on our earnings,usually she gains like two to three cent,and I gain one to two cent,and I have no idea why it does that,and I was wondering if anyone out there has any explanation to the mysterious gain of money on mylot,or if anyone has a guess that they would like to share,and I would appreciate anyone who decides to respond to my discussion. Also, by gain I mean before mylot updates the earnings.

i have experienced the gain in my earnings like some 6 hours ago. maybe $0.03. i was not sure earlier that there have been an increase but after reading this discussion, i thought about it again. mow i'm sure. i think it is because of some post having deleted. when posts are deleted for violating some mylot guidelines, the earnings that have been deducted to them are added to the earnings of other mylotters depending on their ranking. this link would refer you to what i am saying: http:/www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx it's in the 3rd to the last part.

Thats cool that you have experienced a gain,and yeah it makes sense that it would happen because posts get deleted,and that also makes sense that when mylotters have earnings deducted because of a violation of the mylot guidelines that it would be added to other mylotters depending on how they are ranked,and thanks my friend for the link,because I never noticed that the faqs had a section about earnings fluctuation,and it helped me out alot,have a good day,I hope to respond to you soon,and Happy Posting.

I had to said that the gain ofmoney or decrease of it, was not mysterious at all. we gain money cause maybe myLot miscaculate our earning at daily adding earning for us. Maybe we should get 40 cents and they give us 37 cents. So they gave us 3 cents after that. The same way also explained the lost of earnings. Some of our old post got deleted or our referrals old post got deleted , so we lost a little of our earnings. But of course, this all could happen if a glitch happenwith myLot earnings programs so we can lost some cents and add some cents.

That makes sense my friend,that the mysterious gain or loss could have something to do with mylot miscalculating our earnings,or old posts getting deleted,and I guess it could even have something to do with a glitch too,have a good day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting my friend.

Hie Hcpoirot, what you have said does make sense but it's just that Mylot snatched away our feeling of natural high when we have earned it...lol. And as being the referral, we sort of being punished for it when the others are penalized. Whatever it is, I am going to continue to have fun in here and Happy posting to you!

I seem to gain and lose cents or from my posting count. I've given up bothering about it as there is nothing you can do to change it. What I'd like is an explanation from mylot when they delete responses as then it would help not to make the same mistake again.

There are some days, especially near the start and the end of each month, when my earnings are adjusted. I have often noticed it. Today my earnings are 4 cents lower, before the update, than they were at the last update. Some days my earnings go down and then go back up again and I finished with much more than I had at the start of the day. I can't remember how much but sometimes it is around 10 cents or more. Our earnings are never fixed until we get paid. None of us knows how our earnings are calculated but myLot does seem to need to make these adjustments from time to time. I think this means the system is very fair and we are all individually rewarded for how we use myLot

Thanks for your response it was very helpful, I never thought about it like that,and I am glad to hear that you ended up with more money,and that makes sense that are earnings are never fixed until payout,and I agree it sounds like the system is fair,and we dont know how mylot calculates the earnings,and I guess that mylot rewards those who do a good job,and punishes those that abuse mylot.

I never notice if my earnings fluctuate or not, which means that if it does do so then it must be only by a cent or two, which is quite insignificant to me. I just look at my earnings and round it to the nearest round numbers and say I have nearly $5 or I have just over $3.50 rather then being specific.

I think that is due to the fact that you need $10 for payout and $0.01 is very insignificant in comparison, especially since I am english and I mentally translate the amount into pound sterling, so $0.01 is actually only £0.005 which is not even 1p so it is even more insignificant when I think of it like that.

Thats cool that you never notice if they fluctuate or not,and that you dont care about a couple cent,and it makes sense to look at your earnings and round them to the nearest round number,and sometimes thats better than being specific,because if you get to specific,it makes things more difficult.

Hie Hellcowboy, this is my fourth day in Mylot and I had $1.16 yesterday and today the earnings is down to $ 1.14. It's a couple of cents but I think I had been penalized as one of my posted topics has been deleted. Guessed I got carried away and posted my other link to gain more incentives. As for the gain, I have not experience that yet but some of the Mylotters claim that for 'best responses' will get you to earn extra. So far after the three days of Mylot earning updates, I did notice the earnings are slighty more even when the number of postings I submitted were the same. I had 3 marked best responses then. It's interesting to study this and I would love to hear from anyone else of their encounters :)

Thanks for your response you have been very helpful,and I am sorry to hear that you got penalized,and I had never considered that best responses will get you extra money,but it would be cool if it did,and it would be very interesting to hear from people who had best responses and a mysterious earnings gain at the same time,and I wish you a lot of luck in your progress on mylot.

This is interesting, cause I never know that arning best response can boost our earning a little. Anyway, its not a big deal for me cause I hardly get any best response. But I havent check that section for a long time. But I do regularly mark my topics for a best response to resolve my discussion. And yes youhad to be careful here not to post any links to promote your site or to gain referrals here. I had a couple of post deleted just for that.

This did happen to me just once, and it was only a few pennies, so it was not that big of a deal. I am sorry I do not have any explanation as to why this happens.
