The trick to earning money on this site

United States
November 20, 2009 1:45pm CST
I don't want to make thousands a month off of this site, just a few hundred before Christmas. My husband has been unemployed for the past year due to this lovely economy so I feel as though it is my job to figure out something to ensure we have a Christmas. I just want to know the tricks of the trait. I assume we are getting paid $0.01 for every posting we do, but if there are any tricks on how to make even $100 week, that would be amazing. Thanks everyone!!!

There is NO set amount per post in MyLot. You are paid according to the quality of your participation (and, of course, according to how much time you spend doing it). Many people who have been here a while say that they manage to make at least the $10 minimum payout every month or nearly every month. You will NOT make anything approaching $100 a week this way! There are really no tricks or secrets about earning on MyLot. 1) Read, understand and follow the Guidelines, both when making your own discussions and when responding to others' discussions. Don't bother to respond to discussions that are bound to be deleted. It's a waste of your time because you will earn nothing, however good your response was, when it is deleted. 2) Choose topics on which you know that you can type several sentences - maybe two paragraphs or so - and make sure that what you have to say is a 'quality' response that will answer the question or have something worthwhile saying on the topic. 3) Practice thinking as you type. I think that the way I do it is to reply as if I were talking to the person ... and try to keep up with my own dictation, as it were. 4) When you come to create your own discussions, try to word them so that they engage people and encourage good responses. Make sure you avoid topics that just require a 'yes' or 'no' answer! You will need to write comments to people's responses, so choose topics on which you yourself have something to say. 5) The other way of earning on this site is to undertake some of the tasks. Most of them (most of the worthwhile ones, at least) require some writing skill and a good command of English. If you can write four or five hundred of your own words (after doing some research, if necessary) in good English, then this can be a quick and effective way of earning.

Oh that is hard, I been here for a month already and I can say a $100 is not possible. This site is good, but this can never be the your main source of income. Mylot is for extra eanings only. You get paid while meeting new friends,learning and enjoying time. You can only increase your earnings aside from posting and commeting quality discussions, by doing task and completing task.

hi there jinbrown, well as far as i know i havnt been to this site for some time now. Well to make one hundred dollars in a week is really going to take sometime. i dont think you will make that much in a week, unless u start posting and posting non stop for hours or also starting posting pictures as well. you really need to work really hard i would say. again nothing is impossible just keep posting and uploading good quality concept based pictures.. all the best.. have a great day ahead. Best regards, alvingb

I'm not sure how much I get for every question I ask, and I only started using Mylot a couple of weeks ago. I think the best thing you can do is try to comment to as many discussions as possible and try to be as specific as possible. I'm not sure how they pay us or what exactly they're looking for, so it's hard to be able to know what to do to make the most amount of money for every comment you leave. I wish I could make $100 a week!! I think it's possible but only if you spend every single day on mylot, writing comments or posts or doing tasks, and there's still the chance that after all that work you might only be able to make a few dollars..

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could make $100 per week on myLot. I find it quite difficult to reach my target of $10 per month and I don't think there are any tricks that would help me to earn $100 per month let alone a week. However, with your husband out of work and Christmas just around the corner I can understand why you would like to earn $100 per week. If you don't mind me making a suggestion, I think you should try to get as many referrals as possible because the more they earn, then the more you will earn. Even if you don't reach your target, well, every little helps and you could also try some more PTP sites as well as myLot. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

really, you only have a month so you better get busy! payout is on the 15th of the next month and while i dont make a ton of money on here what i would suggest is for you to have a couple of mylot windows open just so you can keep going between the two of them.

Hello jnmbrown this is checkmail and am really surprised by your earning requirement that too with such a short notice, before chritmas.Well according to me you can earn at Mylot through more participation and improving the quality of its contents, and may be its possible for you to earn $ 100 before chritmas.Post as many discussion and responses as you can increase your referals, do some tasks, might get your targeted Payout.Wish you luck after all anthing is possible in this virtual world of Internet.

I hate to break it to you, but your payout target seems completely over-ambitious. Unless you spend every waking hour of every day of every single week, there is absolutely no chance (or a very, very slim one) that you will be able to scrape $100 in a month, let alone in a week! My opinion? Just remain active and enjoy the various discussions on offer. Try to contribute as much as you possibly can with multi-paragraph posts and check the tasks page regularly for all the "big" earners. And ultimately, I know this may be hard for you given your current situation, just try to have fun. Happy MyLotting now;)

I think there is no any trick to earn money on mylot, if you want to earn $100 per week, it is not easy. Maybe someone can do it, but most of us can not do it. And i think it is hard to earn on mylot, but you can enjoy it. It is a good site for us to communicate, to learn more...
