Does Rewards Help you Earn More Compared to Posts you make

I came accross some of my friends discussions last month----What if you had $9.99 or $9.90 in your earnings on the last day of the month Though many try to calm themselves saying---"we can make a big payout the coming month"---they do feel bad for not making it to the minimum payout but they never show it. Mylot have come up with Rewards option which would help us to make it to the minimum payout if we're short of few cents----so no more missing of payouts It does help a lot to make extra money for those actives searchers( we can stop our posting for a while and use the search column lol) who investigate the discussions in here for various oppurtunities. What do you think about it---does it help you to make some extra money---would you rely on the rewards coz its comparitively easier than to make posts

The earnings from the 'rewards' are certainly a huge help towards reaching payout but I would not use them to bump up the amount and reach payout. I know that by adding a few comments or responses here and there I will earn a few cents and if I spent the same amount of time using the search function, I could not be certain that a reward would appear as they are random. If I win one then it seems to be luck on my side while posting is due to effort. I didn't use the tasks so I am really happy that there are now rewards for searching because I have alwqays used searches a lot!

I agree :) If payout is the target, then tasks will help more than the search. :) Search rewards make you feel great - like - hey - today is my lucky day - kind of thing. :)

winning rewards does depend on the luck factor---oh yeah these are good replacement to those sign up tasks lol. I have a doubt who can change our discussion tags----Admin is the only one who can remove those existing tags and add new ones?---coz i have come accross this kinda situation in this one and my previous discussion about cricket.

I have used the search function quite a few times, and I have now earned a reward for it. There have been many times that I did not receive anything other than information from the search, which really is what I was looking for anyway, so it was not a wasted effort. On the other hand, I have only earned one reward for that many searches, so it really is not worth the effort to try to use it to help me reach payout, in my opinion. If I need to search something and happen to get a reward from it, then that is fantastic. Otherwise, I think that my time would much better be spent starting and responding to discussions and comments to try to earn and reach payout, because I am guaranteed to earn from those efforts as long as I follow the guidelines.

Thank you for making it till here---hope you're feeling better now try to make room for other activities which keeps you much busy.Its always good to depend on some thing which pays off well that too on our efforts---the rewards would come handy to make few extra cents each day.they must have rpogrammed in such a way that a reward pops out after every fifty searches---so it would be coincidence to have won rewards multiple times in a day.

I think that the rewards system is nice, but it's random so we really don't know if we'll get money for searching or not. We could search all day and not get rewarded, so it's best to try to discuss and leave the rewards grabbing for when we're going to start a discussion and need to know if it's already been made.

hi cowgirl---i have seen some getting rewards upto 14 cents which is quite higher compared to a post we make in here its just that we should get the timing right and use a correct keyword to get rewards---the admin has strictly mentioned about abusing it else mylotters would spend their entire day searching .Thank you for responding.great day.

No I would not rely only on the rewards program to earn here.I love to post my responses,that is what I am here for.I learn so many new things,there are so many people from around the world sharing their views,ideas and opinions out here.I love to interact with everyone.It broadens my horizons.But yes of course,the rewards is a huge addition to the community and a great one indeed.However I am trying to use the search function only when needed and not abuse the system to gain more money.I am happy with a reward of 14 cents that I won recently and I am pleased that I got it for using the search function in a constructive manner.In any case the rewards are not guaranteed so it is better to rely on posting and uploading for the greater part of your earnings,and then if the reward does come to you for using the search function properly,then nothing like it!

wooow congrats on our latest reward---you're the fourth one of all i came accross who claimed that they won 14 cents which is really a good amount.this kinda amount each day would help all of us to reach the payout in advance.you're right coz mylot is kwown for its discussions so why not use it to the best to make money rather than start abusing the search bar day and night .great day.

I would be a hypocrate if i said that earning an extra buck or two, won't help. But either you make it or you don't. So if not this month, maybe next month, you will be lucky. If i missed one payout and don't use the awards option, i will just kick myself.

Using the search engine is much easier than trying to make a post that is long enough to count! lol. I rely on both. I do tend to use the search engines alot so doing the searches is not a problem for me and I am tending at this time to get a handsome award every other day. Thank you Mylot!

thats really great man but try to see that you do not end up abusing it---earning a reward is good comparatively making a post hence they have limited it.but interacting with our others in discussons is always good rather than making searches lol.great day.

True, and I have been on kind of a strike against Yahoo by not using the search engine, because whenever I download that chat thingy they automatically install the toolbar. Even when I get rid of it, the toolbar will reappear when I use the chat. I got very mad about this so I refuse to help them get any money by using their search engine. lol Now I just have their toolbar hidden, I cannot get rid of it for some reason.

Thank you. It is not showing up anymore, so somehow I got rid of it. *scratches head* O, well. I did go to the add remove files and did not see it listed for some oddball reason, and did not think to go to the program files to try to remove it. Hopefully if this happens again I will remember. Thank you for your help!

Personally I am not really sure yet how this works, and was actually wondering how it all works myself. Even though I have been a member here for over 3 yrs. since due to other issues in life, like Health, etc. I am not here like I used too. But so far I have not really earned anything extra in the Rewards column yet, but interested to see how this all works in here as well.

we stand a chance to earn few cents(rewards) each time we make use of the search column in here---you may search the web,discussions,tasks,messages or any other option provided in here.you would see a message on your page when you have won a reward it gets credited to your earnings instantly---which might range from 1-14 cents.beware of abusing it coz it might flag you to be suspicious if you abuse it and you also stand to loose your account if it is repeated.Thank you for responding.great day.

To be honest I prefer participating in discussion rather than enrolling in a site that I know that I am never going to make us of. Though the tasks system is a good idea, I prefer discussions. The reward system might serve your purpose yes and I do udnerstand that it very easy to earn afew cents when you are near the minimum payout. That would help definitely

its quiet impossible to make it to the payout depending on the search rewards---it only bores us so searching while responding would be better---great day.

Bro, knowing what you mean; especially when short of a few cents for payout. If ever I do that, knowing that I'll short of a few before I hit the minimum, I will try my best to utilize the search function, but taking note not to 'abuse' it. I think by meaning of abusing the system is to keep on putting the same searches over and over again.. something like that. Otherwise, should be fine. The way I look at the rewards, it's in conjunction with discussion answering and commenting. They need to both go hand in hand instead of just using rewards to earn. 2 is better than 1..

Haha, I like the way you said how you are going to abuse it.. that's really funny, bro.. the search function can certainly be our good friend..

Not so good bro as it still flags as suspicious when we cross the limit
@sunnycool (12714)

yeah rather than using it in the end of the month we can make some limited searching each day which might fetch us some extra cents which adds up to a big amount which also helps us to reach the minimum.I normally use it only when i start a new discussion so i'm way out to abuse it lol.great day.

i think it would be a help but not too much. besides there is a notice by the admin that there is a way to see if members will be abusing the search feature. so we better take precautions in using the search. though i already earned some cents in the rewards system, i will really not rely on it to earn more.
@sunnycool (12714)

few cents each day would turn out to be good amount by the end of the month---there by increasing our earnings too apart from our regular earnings---without abusing it.great day.

Hi sunny, I am yet to receive any reward.I have used the new search when I have to look for something, but so far no luck....And anyway we are supposed to use it naturally, and I never have used it before so, now I have to make an effort to do so...If one gets a reward every now and then, of course it does help...BTW have you got a reward? if so how much was it? All the best and happy mylotting

yeah it can help to earn more than the tasks we were asked to complete for few cents---this is always good than joining sites using others referral links.Till now i earned four cents---when i searched for discussions thats it.hope fully i might make it big in the coming days.great day

Hi Sunny, i need to figure out how i can maximize the use of mylot web search to earn points or rewards hehehehe. i am happy to say that since i first received my payout i am consistent on reaching or even exceeding it every month. i make it a point to reach it on the 15th of the month to the 20th so that the rest of the month i can be more relax because i made it already. thanks for the tip my dear friend!

It's okay friend. as long as both of us reach our goal for the payout is what matters and how we do it is a great challenge on our part. we may have different strategies and schedules but we have one thing in common reaching our goal for payout with quality discussions and responses right?! i am happy for seeing your posts number---wow 1202 posts!

hi winky,i do quiet opposite to your strategy---all i do is relax for the first 10-15 days and then try to gather the remaining amount by the end of the month---luckily i never fell short of few cents---its quiet evident though if we can make it to the minimum or not.These rewards do make our earnings easier than earlier but we cant make the most of it coz beauty of this site lies within our discussions not a search bar lol we getto make few extra cents.great day.

IF we search related to our field of interest or related to any discussions, then we get rewards, i have got it in two time after the launch of the new version of mylot. Sometimes it gives good result. THe mylot search tool is really a great apart from earning rewards

which means you're earning rewards when you do search in particular interests right----i got one when i searched for a discussion and thats it finger crossed to recieve more in the coming days .Thank you for responding.great day.

I do not think that I would depend on the search rewards to meet my payout. Since I have searched several times and still not been rewarded. I think I would stick to what I know definitely earns and for me that is making discussions and posting responses to discussions. I will not give up on the searching though, hopefully I will get rewarded soon.

it like when we try to make a search for rewards in mind we never get one---the same happened to me---and it was a surprise when a message popped out saying that i won few cents.so doing some search while responding and starting discussions would pay of well rather than depending on it.great day.

As the upgrade is still in its infancy, I have yet to feel the impact of it towards my earnings. The search engine is definitely an advantage as the income adds up fast with the help of the rewards. It makes reaching the minimum payout faster.
@sunnycool (12714)

I think there is nothing wrong with the search bar Zandi---so we can use it not beyond the limit though.if we can take an average of ten cents per day it just adds upto $3 at the end of the month which is quiet good.great day.

Well, I have received rewards few weeks from now, they were bigger than what I have receive now... But it really never come into my mind to rely on the search box for earning... as I have read the guidelines of rewards system, I am afraid to abuse the system... I I really never wanted to lose my account here...
@sunnycool (12714)

That was a clever move---we can always use it as a source to make few extra cents rather than relying on it completely which only leads to deletion our account.What was the highest amount you earned so far as a reward---coc until now it was 14---i think that is the maximum we can get using it.Thank you for responding.great day.

I really don't need the rewards to make payout as I make ie every month just by posting, so I will continue doing just that. We really aren't supposed to use the search featire as of we are. amd mylot finds out, our accounts will be suspended withotu warning. I would just prefer not to bother with the rewards part of it and keep my account safe. I would rather do it without any help anyway, as it gives me something to strive for. I would be afraid that I might get suspended, and I am not willing to take that chance as I like it here to much, and I hope to stay for years to come. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

hi Rosekiss---Admin has warned of deleting those members who abuse it---to the moment until it flags you red.so rest of them would be safe coz they do search but to a certain limit.Rather than completely avoiding it we can atleast make few cents from that new feature.you seem to be die hard fan of mylot .keep going and enjoy mylotting Rose.

At times making posts can be boring---i just skip over to another site and return later and i do not have any limit in responding though.The rewards can outplay posts--hence they came up with a restriction following by a threat to delete accounts if we abuse it.Thank you for responding.great day.

I wouldn't be relying on it Sunny. It's a game of chance and there is rule not to abuse the said thing. If you rely on it too much then I can defnitely say you wouldn't get the minimum payout every month. As you said it really helps when one is short of some cents to reach payout, other than that you wouldn't find me using the search bar just waiting for a chance to be rewarded. So far I got two rewards coming from it and the total reward so far is $.13
