Why not to submit something as a article than submitting as a mylot post?

Many times there are long posts in discussions reaching upto 150 words and mylot pays not more than a cent for it. But on the other hand articles are generally of 300-500 words. The same post if researched and written creatively can fetch you more money say around 3-5 dollars and extra page views money are a bonus although agreed that not every post can be a article but many of them can be. Thats why i don't agree when people say 'mylot is good way to earn money'. Its a good way to know new things but not that big money. What do you think?(now see even this para reached around 100 words)

well do you think will you really get 3-5 dollars for 300 words.think again.
if suppose i assume that some one is giving you that much money then do you really think you will get it as it is in your hand in time.
i know there are many sites which pay for writing articles but they don't pay you in time and the sies which promise you for paying a high amount are all scams
whereas mylot is the trusted and the best way.you are assured that you will get money here and the other most important thing that they are encouraging you to write more quality words and think out of the box.this improves your thinking level ,which will be helful in your real life.
happy mylotting

Oh man associated content pays that much for around 500 words. Writing a article for even 3 dollars its equivalen on mylot would need around 300 responses or around 100 discussions. At this point you need to be clear that this is for people seeing mylot as earning source (only). And my not agreeing do you mean to say mylot is a good earning platform?

Thinking different topics.... That any forum would fulfill. Even there are better forums than mylot in that case(by no way i mean to say mylot is not good).but if earning is only concern than in that case ,Articles are more helpful than mylot is. Actually full researched article is far better than no researched and only primarily thought 'mylot post'. Ofcourse both of them expands the horizons of our thoughts. One (writing a article) does it to the core while other(a mylot post) just clears up what we think. nothing is added. As far as your childish argument about associated agencies scam is concerned, for your kind information its(associatedcontent.com) ranked at 900 on internet(ahead of mylot). I am again clearing myself, i just feel mylot is a good forum where you get paid for sharing information and at the same time get loads of information and know new people. But if only earning is concerned,articles along with clearing your views and stats on a subject would also help you get more money

well dude how can you depend on internet for living.........atleast now its impossible.thier is no assurance of getting paid at so call associated agencies or whatever you said.and yes i mean to say mylot is the best way to earn money.
i think you did't read my comment completely.
read it again, i said typing at mylot takes a bit time but it improves your thinking.didn't you think so.you have to think different different topics to write here.....actually its benefitting.

For me, mylot is a way to make new friends and make a little bit of money. Frankly, if I'm looking to be paid for writing, I'm not interested in $3 or $5. Real writing jobs pay at least $25 or more. The most I've been paid for writing was $500. Most of the articles I've written over the years have been in the $100 range. Places on the internet that pay for "writing" and give out the little amount you mentioned are an insult to real writers. Sorry.
Mylot, by the way, is not a place for serious writers to write. That doesn't mean that serious writers don't come here. But they know that the serious writing jobs are with magazines and newspapers. And that mylot is a great networking and friendship too. The two are very different.

You didn't get my point. Even i do myloting for the same reason. But still i feel mylot is not a good paying platform if only money is considered. And you are seeing everything from a writer who's getting big money for it and not from someone who's not having such skills and exposure. And if someone is posting only ,repeat only to earn money. writing articles(come on they aren't real writers) would be a better option. By the way i have just started writing. only 1 article till now published. It would be nice of you if you express your views http://www.informativepost.com/2008/08/02/Relating-RAMROM-and-us-1637.htm

Mylot is an excellent platform for what it is - a site to make connections, make friendships, share, discuss, and have conversations. To be paid for what most of us love doing is fantastic. And it costs us nothing but our time.

If you're looking for feedback about your writing ability, I suggest that you try a local writer's group or an online writer's group designed for that reason. I'm a moderator at one writing site and have been since 2001. Besides offering real critiques and feedback, they offer writing classes as well.
