I think the longer you are a member the easier it gets to make a little more. This site will in no way make you rich and if you are here only for the money you will soon be disappointed and quit. I got very discouraged early on and almost gave up. I then decided that I would try to just enjoy mylot for what it is and that is a social site with a perk of a small payment for your efforts. I now spend more time just enjoying the conversations on here and have made over a dollar a day on good days. Some claim more than that. I have never made what some of them claim to have made. Usually I make around 30-60 cents a day. I am making friends and enjoying the time I spend here. Don't let the money discourage you it does get easier at least it seemed so for me. The response part is hard. I have lots that never received a response at all, some only my true friends answered and only a couple ever got big amounts of responses. Make lots of friends try to word the subject line in a way to attract attention. If people think it is controversial or a hot topic it will get more responses. Talk about and ask things that allows people to give a true opinion. Ask specific questions so that people will give more detailed answers. It is always good when you can keep them posting by replying to their responses and getting them to answer more questions about that topic or them giving a more in depth answer. Best of luck to you, relax and just have fun and your mylot experience will be a lot better.

oh and turn on your notify option on your friends in your list. That way you know when they have posted something new and it makes it easier to go and respond to those.

i think that 57 cents for only 89 post is a good earnings, you can increase you earning if you get a lot of best response and upload images in all or your discussion. when you reached 500 , you can upload images in your responses and you earn 0,01 for each image. i think that this can help you.

Don't lose hope yet. This place is very informative. You get to learn a lot of information from many sources. Be active in all fields here like posting, responding etc. A small amount everyday will soon add up and soon you will reach payout.

First of all, if you are worrying about not getting many responses for your discussions, I'm here to help. Make sure to make friends as you post in others discussions as well as your own, this will really help your discussions because more than 80% of MyLots users post in their friends discussions before posting anywhere else. Also, get interests because it will help identify what your discussion is about(for example dreaming or sleeping). Also create tags in your discussion because it will help posters search for your discussion easier and most likely to get more posts. Just post discussions about 2-5 paragraphs(be creative and descriptive). Also, even though you do not receive earnings for participating in your own discussions, comment on others responses to keep the flow going. Also, don't give up, because I know it may seem like earnings are so low, but as you receive more earnings and spend time on myLot, you will notice that your earnings will pile up and pile up and you'll reach your payout in no time.

Don't worry so much about the number of posts, but think about the quality of posting you have, and also keep in mind to make your responses more lengthy. You want good content because other mylot users can rate you with the (+) and (-) rating system. Just be yourself, but still put good effort in all of your posts at the same time. Don't worry too much about the earnings right now, they tend to increase over time, I used to not make very much here, but it is slowly increases as the days go by. Now it takes less effort for me to make money, or I am just getting the hang of it all and I am learning not to really think about the money behind it. Just let it become really fun, and you will earn more .

hey its not about how much you post its about quality too. also if you respond try to write more than a few lines. try to do like four or something so more chance of earning. yeah i dont always get a lot of responses when i first started but now i get more just keep on going.
