Hi! My name is Nikki aka Bizzimommiofboyz. I just joined Mylot today, and I was wondering what kind of advice anyone out there might have for getting the most out of this site. In the few hours I have been a member I have done a little exploring on my own, but it is all kind of overwhelming at first! Mylot seems to have all kinds of people from everywhere and lots of great information to read! I think that is great! So I guess what I am asking is what do you find most enjoyable about Mylot? What should I be sure to check out? How can I build my friends list? I know that this information would be really helpful to me as well as any other new members starting out on the Mylot. Everyone is the "new kid in town" at one point or another. I would love to hear your take on this site, and any responses will be greatly apprieciated! Thanks!

There are alot of really enjoyable stuff here in mylot. For one, you get to meet all kinds of people from all over the world. Im from the philippines. You can certainly build friendships here. If you have a problem and you wish to get advice, you can always post a discussion and sure enough people with respond. If that isnt enough, you're earning while your having fun posting and replying to discussions. You can build your friends list by inviting more people here. The more friends you have, the more chances of your posts getting responses. More responses means more earnings.

Thanks for your response! So far I am really impressed with my whole mylot experience. I have earned more in just a few days than I would have guessed that I could! Mylot is so cool! People really make up great subjects for their discussions and they are fun to reply to. I am still trying to build my friend list but I am sure that will come with time. Have a great day!

first off let me give you a warm welcome...welcome to mylot, where you can earn not only money online but friends as well... well if you wanna earn more in here the advice that i can give you is, try responding with at least 5-8 lines long with each discussion you respond to...create few quality discussions everyday say minimum of 5 discussions started by you... respond to the discussion that interest you and keep responding to people, you can ask a friendship request from them..please take note that if you request friendship make sure you responded to one of their discussion and tell them why you wanna be friends with them..some people had learned how to be snob because of trolls having fun around here.... goodluck to you...happy mylotting and hapy earnings

Welcome. Best advice I can give is have a good time. There are alot of neat people here. Send friend requests and accept them too. I like reading the different points of view here. I have been here almost a year. One warning: mylOT IS ADDICTING

MyLot is addicting??? I am starting to see how this could happen, lol!!! People are so friendly, it would be hard not to come back again and again. Thats cool though, as I am trying to break my addiction from another site! Thanks for your response, I hope to be here for a long time to come!

Hi! Welcome to mylot :) I'm glad you liked it. I still remember that time when I first joined and the mylotters were so helpful. They didn't treat me like an outcast, but even told me about how mylot works, and stuff like that. I like the best response award. It makes me happy to know somebody liked what I posted. If you're looking for a particular discussion to respond to, you can use the searchbar at the top right hand corner. It works awesomely! Here's how you maximize your earnings 1) Post quality and longer posts. Take time to improve on your posts. Make sure they are at least 3 or 4 lines long. A few good, long posts will get you more money than tons of one lined posts. 2) Take time to think of interesting discussions to start. You can also jot down your mylot discussion ideas on a piece of paper if you think you may forget. Remember, starting boring discussions like :( Do you like apples? ) is not good. You're not going to get lots of responses. FYI : To start a discussion, go to the top left hand corner of the page and look beside your name. " new discussion " ( I didn't realise this when I first joined ) 3) You have a blog or website? You can put your mylot referral link somewhere on your blog or website and people will join. The more referrals you get, the more eanrings you generate, because you get 25% of each referral's earnings. Cool huh? Good luck to you and happy mylotting!

Welcome aboard. My advice would be that as you're exploring, you start making comments and contributing to conversations. That's how you'll get to be known. I was surprised when I arrived here that many people don't like to respond to the discussions of newbies. And lots of folks don't like to accept friendships from newbies as well. Strange to me, but that's how some fee. Not me. I look forward to finding out more about you. And seeing you around.

Hi Dreamweaverjan! Thanks for your response! I am very busy with my boys, actually I have 3, but I didn't have any of them all together to upload to my computer. Everyone has been super nice and welcoming so far on Mylot and this seems like a community that I will really enjoy being a part of. There seems to be such a wide variety of topics, I don't think a person could ever get bored of this place. You will probably see me talk about my boys often, they are my life. Thanks for your warm welcome, hope to talk to you again soon!

Hi! I'm new here also and really like it! It's nice to hear other people's opinions, and views on different things, especially from other countries. There is a noticable difference in cultures and traditions in some of the discussions. It gives me a lot to think about and helps to open my eyes to different ideas. p.s. I also have 2 boys, what a handful they can be! :)

Boys are always quite a handful, aren't they?? Never a dull moment. Welcome to you as well! I noticed that there are MANY people from other countries on MyLot and I think that is really cool as well. Being a small town girl myself, I don't get to meet many people from other parts of the world so this site provides me with a great opportunity that I intend to take full advantage of! Thanks for your response and I look forward to seeing you around on the site!

Hi there welcome to Mylot! I'm lilyoungfella and obviously i'm no longer new here. lol Why don't you try to create discussions of your own? So you could get to enjoy Mylot's features and meet new friends. Feel free to pm me if you have any inquiries with regards to the How-To's here in Mylot. Good day!

I dont know the actual reason for you being in MyLot. But my advice to you is start adding friends as much as possible. Dont start new discussion till you are very friendly with MyLOt, unless only if you actually require to start one. Start responding to your friends discussions, so that tomorrow your friends will reply to your discussion. Do not write One line response or discussion or comments. Make it discriptive and quality one. Make sure atleast you will write 4 to 5 sentance or lines of discussion. Also make sure you will address each response to your discussion by giving comments. And start discussions in right interest section. Also if you start a discussion and do not forget to give the best response to the response you feel as a best response. Make sure you respond atleast 20 discussion. Also you can give reputation points to responses and discussion (+ or - sign will be there in every response.) By doing all these you will definately earn good bugs in MyLot.

Hello. Welcome to mylot. Are you here for earning or to have friends??? If you are here for friends, then no problem. Everyone here are friendly(as far as I have seen). So just add them. If you are here for money also, then you should know something about mylot. Mylot will pay good for descriptive responses and descriptive discussions(not too big to bore others). Yours seem to be little too descriptive. Just make it in a way that attracts others. If you have written with some spaces it will be in a readable form. So everyone will read that with interest. Just take care of it and enjoy your stay in mylot. All the best.
