Okay, I have to admit I thought it would be easy, but.........

It turned out a little more difficult than I thought. You see I was working on mylot attempting to reach the minimum payout before the 12th but no later than the 15th of the month. I posted away, I started discussions. I rated the responses to my discussions, I replied to most of them, and today is the 15th of the month, so today's earnings haven't been calculated yet, but I'm not too far off from my original goal, but I know I have at least another 10 days worth of work left to solidify.
So what about you, today, I am sitting at $7.12, and tomorrow I expect to be sitting just over $8 or close to it. Where did I go wrong. I did miss an entire day of posting or responding. Do you think if I had not miss that day that I could have reached my goal?
Do you when you see your goal in sight (I mean right before your eyes) dig deep within you to ensure the goal is met, or do you lose hope, give up and say to yourself, oh I'll do it next time?

We always have that kind of perception when we see it looks easy we are to confident, but the real thing is its not that simple. I think you can reach the minimum payouts just try to burn some fingers, in every hardships their is always a fruit of labor you will get. Just do it no matter what just don't give up. Just like me I'm doing the best I can to reach the minimum payouts even though I still got a long way to go.

You seem to give a pretty good effort into your response to this discussion though, I would advise to make your responses at least between 7 to 9 lines worth of text. That should yield you between 50-75 words.
Start some discussions, respond to everyone that replies to your discussions, give them the appropriate plus rating or minus rating or even report abuse and keep moving.
I reached my first payout around 250 posts, so I have about 225 more or so to go as long as you keep them lengthy and interesting.

I think you will be able to reach your payout before the the cut off date. I have been in similar situation such as you before. I only had 4 days left and have at lest $7 on my earnings. So I posted and replied to the post of others and eventually ended up reaching the payout. I am sure you will make it for as long as you put an effort here. Best to you and goodluck!

I have no doubt that I'll reach way over payout for this month. I think I might challenge myself to earn more than that in a given day. We shall see.

Hi There! How's it going?
Yeah, it is never easy to earn a lot of money here in few days but I must admit, you are doing good this month already, I mean, you already have more than seven dollars! You are close to your payout for next month. I only got four dollars right now as I was not able to log in everyday to respond to atleast 10 discussions that I like.
With regards to your question, I do not lose hope easily especially if I know that it is normal that sometimes we may not reach our goal here in mylot or in any other way... I just got to be more active and there will always be tomorrow. Don't worry, you are doing really good this month, you might earn more than 10 dollars because you already have 7 dollars in your mylot account! hehehe
Thank you for the discussion! Have a great day and happy mylotting! Cheers!

CHEERS jesbellaine
At least you know that you will reach the minimum payout, even if it isn't until next month. That is still just fine! I think the peace of mind starts with the fact that I know as long as I cross the finish minimum payout line, that I will get paid. That is sooooo cool, if you ask me.

Oh yes, me too I thought it would be easy meeting the payout but there are situations beyond control, that sometimes you can not touch the computer in a day or two. There are some important things to attend to that you just feel sorry for not meeting the required earnings. Oh yes we will just say we'll do it next time and for sure we will do.

As long as you keep up the good work and posting away, as well as starting good lengthy discussion, you'll get there.

I think if I was that close to reaching payment I would try to post as much as possible, Maybe if you had posted on that lost day you could have made it.

Payout is the last day of the each month: I was just trying to see if I could make it before the middle of the month.
And you are paid the 15th of the following month that you make the minimum payout for whatever your minimum choice is, the default is $10 minimum, but you can raise it up to $25, $50, and $100.
I think I can do it, if I really focus hard and apply.

You can start by writing a longer response. At least 7-9 lines worth of text. That should give you about 50-65 words of text per response. And start some discussions, respond to everyone that replies to your discussions and you'll be well on your way to getting there. That's for sure!

You are doing better than me this month. I only have $5 and some change for the month so far, but I did not cash out last month because I upped my payout to $25. I am at $17.51, so I still have a ways to go to make it to $25 this month which is what I wanted to do. I will have to really start upping my myLot participation for this month if I am going to manage that.

Wow, I'm sure you're make it if you put your mind to it. I started out January with a Bang, as I had some days off, so I could type more. Just press it and reach for the stars. Even if you make it to only $24.99 on January 31, at least you know for sure that with a few more posts, you'll be set for February's payout.

I already had 2 payouts and i'm still not sure when is the deadline to reach the minimum payout. I'm not sure if it's 15th or 30th. So you have $7.12. If you keep on myLotting regularly until the 30th, i'm pretty you'll reach $10. I have $6 right now. That's what is left after myLot sent my earnings to Paypal yesterday. I'm positive i'll reach $10 at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure you can do it too!

Hey,
Yea I know what you mean. Firstly I still am aiming for $1 per day but right now only earn a couple of cents even though most days I posted 100 posts per day with 4 lines of writing. It is TOTALLY not fair, I only got $0.14 for it. Happy Lotting anyway!
