I've been here for a couple of months. I made $4 with over 200 posts, i began to think about this which one bring you more money, referrals,best responses or other things? I know a guy who reached 7 payments with around 600 posts, i asked him but he is unwilling to share his secret, i guess it might be his referrals. When i was reading that guy's blog i found he said a secrete of earning more here is to get best response, i don't know if it is true. I don't if there's other factor that affect your earning. So would you tell me, which one will bring us more money, referrals, best responses or other things? Thank you so much for sharing!

I don't know which things add more to my earnings. If someone claims to know the secret of earning more it is pure guesswork, because the system is secret. Discussions about it are not allowed and will be deleted. People who don't focus on earnings and just enjoy taking part in all myLot has to offer often make more money than people who think they know what they are paid for. When you read the guidelines you can see what does not pay, like poor quality short responses, discussions with no responses and violations of guidelines. Avoiding those thing is one way to ensure you get maximum earnings. Having active referrals does help, but they are not necessary. Adding images is another thing you can do as myLot tells us we will be rewarded for doing it.

Yes, we are all guessing here, but i'll try to make it more reliable by conducting an experiment in the coming days. I hope this post won't be deleted that soon and hoping people who know something can share their ideas with us. It's really nice of you for reminding me that. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with me. Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

I too hope this discussion won't be deleted. I don't think it breaks any rules as it is about hints and tips for earning more, and there is nothing wrong in giving each other advice and encouragement at myLot. I hope you can learn something from your experiment. It does no harm to try different activities and see if it makes a difference.

There really is no secret and there's no way to know what pays the most. I have three referrals and I make more money doing the work on my own. Your referrals have to be very active to make you really good money. I've hit over $4 with less than 150 posts. I respond to a lot of discussions and comment to any one who responds to my discussions or responses. I also try to upload a picture or two each each day. From what I read, the people who make really good money do over 100 posts a day. I don't think I'll every be able to do that, but I try. So far, I'm getting the hang of it. For two days straight, I've made over $1 each day. Just work hard, have fun, post quality responses, and make sure they are good lengths.

I just hit 200 posts today and hope to see $8 tomorrow for all my efforts. I'm not sure what makes one person get more per post than another person. I haven't uploaded many photos or started many new discussions, but I make sure my posts are nice and lengthy. I try my best not to do one word or just one sentence, and I try not to say the same things over and over again. Good luck!

Gone are the days in mylot when scores of referrals used to bring couple of dollars a day. Best responses bring in couple of cents and for me it is my discussions and my responses which bring in the money.

You can take the horse to pond but you cannot make it drink the water. Similarly your referrals may join mylot but what is the guarantee that they participate actively. Of late, referrals' contribution is negligible. Hence, better rely on once own efforts.

Indeed there is no secret established till now which gives the better payout. But still responding to lot of discussions helps making me bucks. Just starting a new discussion is also in no point proven that it pays more. More you respond and that too in quality will fetch you more. Afterall what is this place all about? Its source of knowledge to many people across the globe. So it has to be a good quality which pays off. And indeed referrals help.

It would be from your referrals definitely, that is if you have many active referrals posting here in mylot. Because you earn a percentage from their earnings too. In that case, you are earning some amount even if you are not actively posting responses. I am not aware that getting a 'best response' will give you better earnings since nobody among the members of mylot know how our earnings are computed. It's not written in the FAQs that getting 'best response' will enhance earnings. I guess actively posting discussions and quality responses, coupled with active referrals will give you more earnings. I'm quite unlucky with referrals though so my earnings now totally depends on my posts only. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for sharing. I think i can't agree more, that guys who get 7 payment with 600 posts has a considerable active referrals. I,now only have 55 referrals most of which are silent only a few are active. This summer i'll try to promote my referral not only quantity but also quality. Just mark your response as"Best Response" see if it gives you extra money~~ Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

whoa, thanks! I really hope this will help me earn more... It's really hard to get referrals. I hope you could encourage your 55 referrals to become active so that you won't have to work hard posting. Joining discussions and sharing your thoughts as well as learning from the opinion of others is a very nice experience we get from mylot and I hope your referrals will realize that soon. Thanks again and I appreciate it choosing mine the best response. Have a great day!

I think having several active referrals will do the trick cos you'll get a percentage of what they earn. Maybe if you can get 10 really active referrals plus you posting quality discussions and responses, you'll earn a lot more. I have 8 referrals of my own but they are not active, so I do all of the work here. But what I think the real secret here is to enjoy your stay and posting. If you enjoy what you are doing then you get to post more, respond with quality and you get to stay longer than usual. That would totally boost up your earnings especially if you're doing it solo.

Yes, i agree. When i referred somebody to mylot i'll receive an email in which i am told i can earn 25% of the money they earn. Thank you for sharing the very secret with me, and i'll enjoy myself here. Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

If you have active referrals, I think you can earn more because of it. As to best responses, you can earn a very little bit more from it. One day I got several best responses, but I couldn't see the big difference from my earning. I love China

I think getting a lot of active referrals is the key for us to earn money. I'm sad to say I'm only have one referral and only have one best response. But I'm hoping it will improve.

A year ago, I would have said that you would make more money by starting your own discussions and getting lots of people to respond to it. I used to do that. And it worked. But then I went away for six months and things changed. Now I don't make so much from starting discussions and they have to be updated often. So, not so much money per discussion. But my own responses to other member discussions does pay nicely. Key is to post many, many, many responses. Not sure how much you are looking to make on MyLot. If your goals were $100 daily then I am not sure that is possible. But if you don't mind $5.00 or $10 then this is the place to be. Referrals are really the way to go. Get some, nurture them along, help them out. Post tips to your blog to help your MyLot referrals. Just normal stuff you would do to help any referral. Hope those tips help.

Well i think this will help! In a word can i sum up like this just be active in responding others starting interesting discussions and trying to get more active referrals! Thank you so much for sharing. Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

Hi, I think that pure hard work in myLot can help us make more money. We can make more money by starting discussions, responses and comments. Personally, I think that making money from referrals is very hard to do because we need a lot of referrals that are active to help us make money. I think if we have 100 active referrals that are making $1.00 per day, we will be able to make $25.00 per day without doing anything in myLot but to get 100 active referrals is truly harder than we can imagine. So, I just work harder to reach my payout from myLot.

I think that active referrals are the secret, if you have loads of referrals that don't post then they are no use, but if you have lots of referrals that post a lot then you will make money very quickly. I don't think best responses make that much difference, I have received a handful of best responses in a day and see no huge increase in my earnings in comparison to other days.

Well, i think that's what i'll focus on next a few days hope i'll be able to encourage my referrals to be active. At least respond some posts. Thank you for sharing that secret with us. Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

Earning the best response does give you a few cents more than a regular response, but no one really knows how much money you get from certain things. I'm guessing the amount of money you earn depends on how long your response is, but that's just my guess. Having tags always help, along with making yours responses QUALITY ones, rather than lengthy ones. 7 payments with 600 posts is just crazy. I made just over a dollar in 2 months because I'm not exactly the most active person here, although I think I will be here more often, now that school's over. I'm going to get bored over the days and being on here I can talk to people and discuss things. Of course, I'm hoping to make it to my goal of $25 for July.

First i would like to thank you for responding and sharing your experience here. Before this post my biggest earning of a day is $0.1, this one breaks that record. Maybe a well responded discussion will also bring us much! Just have a nice day and enjoy mylotting.

For me what I think I have learned is responding to other people s' post brings in the most.You must type in more then A few lines.I think the content matters to,you can't just randomly type off anything just to say there I responded to 10 discussions.The idea here I think is to get people discussing things.Some of the topics on here are so meaningless though.I try to use this site as a form of therapy for me.I never really talk about my past,and my feelings ,which has always been a downfall for me because I stay all bottled up.I swear if I wrote a book about my past and growing up in a very small town I could have a good seller. So I respond when a topic hits me and my mind starts answering it,then I figure I have something to say and I go with it.Then I tend to get long winded but hey its a discussion,and it is all good. Good luck to oyu,hope you have fun here,it doesn't all have to be about the earnings. Jas

Hi,Jas! I have the same feeling as you. When you found a post that hits your mind there's no wonder that you'll answer the post in details.When you finished, you'll find out you had almost wrote a short story or something like that. But sometimes when you can't find a post like that it's really hard for you to write many lines. Maybe you could just write a few lines and when you finished you would find you actually didn't say anything at all. Thank you so much for your response. Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting!

well good response will sure hold the key but also if we have a good network of referrals then i think it can do good and the thing is if we can have such a network then we can collectively do the same and earn quite a bit.

i think you will get more money here if you have a lot of referrals and if you post a lot too...

I will say it differs.. U may have referrals but if they are not active, u wun get to earn as much too.. SO i will say it's faster to earn thru your own efforts and aim for best response and have quality responses.. Whether how much your referral can earn for u, it all depends on your luck, there's no absolute things for earning..

hi kianli. responses bring in the money in mylot. if you want passive income, then get lots of active referrals and you can earn here without posting a single word. however, i believe in the leading by example so even though i have referrals already i still post at mylot. in fact, i can say that the bulk of what i've earned came from my own posts. i think as soon as your referrals see taht you've been paid they will be more active and then you can slowly start psotign less and let yoru referrals work for you. hope this helps. cheers!!!
