Does making lots of different discussions seem to help increase your mylots pay?

In other words if you make lots of discussions have you seen you increase faster or does just responding to others seem to make your pay increase faster, or is it a combination of both. And finally do you really think anyone makes very much over time here, or is it always just a little dab here and a little dab there as far as how much you can really make. I have been trying really hard to see how fast I can increase my pay rate. I'd like to see if it is possible to make a twenty five dollar pay out in one month. If you know if this is possible would you let me know, also does making comments on the news and the blogs help or does it really not matter? What are your thoughts on these matters?

I can make more than the minimum $10 payout every month just from my responses to discussions at myLot. The few discussions I start adds something to my earnings but I think everything I do at myLot can help me to earn more. MyLot pays for participation and not just for the number of posts we make. I think quality and length of responses can make a big difference and will increase your earnings, this applies both to the responses you make and the responses you get to your discussions. Discussions with no responses will earn nothing at all. A few good quality responses can earn you more than a lot of short ones.

So I need to think up some really interesting discussions that people will like to responde to, I have some discussions with no replies and some with several replies, I think it would be neat to have a lot of replies. I wonder how many on here have had over a hundred replies.

There is one discussion which has been around for nearly two years and now has more than 850 responses! Some of my old discussions are still getting new responses. One has reached 100 and another now has more than that. Discussions with more than 100 responses are not uncommon at myLot.

That is a lot of responses, do you know which one that is that has so many responses? I wonder if that one is the one with the most responses or if someone else has even more. It is neat that you are still getting responses to your old discussions, I guess words really never die, and if you like to talk eventually someone will say something back to you.

Hi Anna, yes it is possible and most months I earn over $30 and that is without having any active referrals. I think it is a combination of the two really like I have said before, keep posting, keep responding and have fun with it and you will find it naturally occurs. I never concentrate on the money factor. Ellie :D

Thanks for the encouragement I would like to earn thirty dollars this month that would be great, then next month I could try for sixty, maybe I could double it each time. Anyway, thanks for your reply it was helpful and encouraging to me.

Hi Anna, I am glad I gave extra encouragement, I see you are posting more discussions, keep that up and try to respond to as many of the responses as you can like you have me and it will gradually build. I really hope you achieve your goal this month. Let me know when you do yeah! Ellie :D

Without referrals, you'd have to work very, very hard to make that much on your own, but it can be done. Be prepared to spend several hours a day here, and post non-stop, though. If you are going to make discussions, you need to make sure they are interesting and draw lots of responses. If you make a discussion and no one answers, you won't get paid much (if anything). I've got some tips on how to navigate myLot in some articles that I wrote. If you'd like to read them, the link is on my profile page here.

I am regular with starting discussions. I will start discussions whenever i get something special or some info to share with mylot. The most i earn is from the responses i make . In mylot, we get paid for each participation so we also get paid when we upload photos and also responding to news and blogs.

So I should respond to many discussions and participate even more I wonder what is the most someone can earn if they do everything possible on here to make money. I wonder if anyone has ever earned a hundred dollars in one month. I don't know how to upload pictures so maybe I need to look into that. sometime,.

starting unique and good discussions also earns you money. about uploading photos, the photos in your profile will not be counted for earnings. you will be able to add photos to discussions you start and also in interests with the option ADD PHOTO on every interest. best of luck

Everyday, I spend around 3 hours in Mylot. Most of the time, I post discussions and give responses to others discussions. I always do combination of both. From my experience, I think we need to post at least 10 posts and give around 30 responses to others in order to get more $0.50 in a day. This is provided there are more than 30 responses for your discussions that you have posted on that particular day.

That takes a lot of time or some very fast typing, most likely a little of both. Maybe sites like this are good places to practice typying speed. I wonder how many discussions and post per day that someone should try and post. Maybe I should try to ten of everything, lol

I have only just started but from how things look I think you do get more for starting a discussion. $25 a month I would be thrilled with $10 a month as I don't want to spend all day on the computer. Although the money would be very nice to have. I will be curious to see what everyone else has to say to you on this matter.

I'm exactly like you. This is my first post to be more exactly! But myLot seems to me an amazing place, not only to earn money but also to have a good time and funny discussions! I'm also curious about this. There is nothing on the FAQ's.

maybe I will make it if I can speed up my typing. I have been spending way too much time on the computer any way, it would be really neat if I could make enough here to pay the rent but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. But maybe one of these days I will figure out a way to pay all the bills with money I have earned online. I would be happy if I could just pay off all the bills period.

Seen some on here say they make 50-60 dollars in a month, they are here 24/7, I'm sorry I have a life and can't just sit here all day and type. I understand that when you start a discussion that it depends on how many responses you get to it as to how much you are paid for it. If 30 people respond you get a lot if only a couple you dont' get much. They say responding to posts with at least 4-5 lines gets you paid but it seems you have to do at least 25 or more a day to get any money, now this is what has been told to me. I guess if you stay here all day you could probably make payout of $25. I go good to make payout at $10. I have been paid twice for payout at $10. they say you are not here for the money but to have fun. I just want to be paid fairly and I don't believe MYLOT does that, but then that is only my opinion. I have seen people who made $4. in one day they say how they did it and I do same thing still get less than a dollar, so don't know how they figure the payout. I have never paid any attention to the blogs don't know what they for. Good luck with how ever much you want to make

You are lucky you earned more than a dollar. I have not! and am wondering if there is any place out there with free access that you could make good money with? The good thing about mylot is that I enjoy doing the responses and discussions.

I have been a member in myLot with lot of postings and earned up to $5, two times. But suddenly I could not post or respond discussions, due to some reason, I donno. I do not think even $10 per month would be possible. The TOS are very tough here. I do not mean to discourage you, at present I am just enjoying without much earning interest here.

That is very discouraging, maybe you will be able to reach pay out one of these days, I have heard a lot of others say they have been paid, maybe you will also be paid one day soon. I know you worked really hard to reach the five dollar mark as it takes a long time to even earn one dollar.

I'm still kinda new here but it seems to me, to make $25 in a month your discussions would have to get alot of replys and you'd have to do alot of replying yourself.

You are most likely right, I don't know if my hands will hold out to type so much I have typed all day and so far I have not done enough to reach the payout min. Maybe I will earn the min by the end of the next month you never can tell.

last night was my first time to register here and i stayed up till 3.30 this morning. when came back at night, i hurried to my pc to see if i earn even 3cents. but there is none. however, i didn't give up ,now after maybe 2 hours later and a couple of discussions i suddenly find 5cents already appears on my account which convinces me. but ,yes ,i hold the same question as you, is it the more discussion or messages i send, the more i earned suppose i didn't recommend anyone to join in? from what you've written,it seems very hard to earn 25 bucks. hope to share experience from you,pal.
