The number by your username is your 'user rating'. It show your activity but doe not include everything that you post (and is therefore not a post count). It is explained here by myLot: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx You shouod write as much, or as little, as is required in the particular topic/response/comment that you are preparing. There is no minimum but quality, descriptive posts (in English and not text language) will be worth more. You can use the search and the tasks to add to your earnings too. If you read the FAQs you will find everything explained there. Realise that myLot is a discussion site and that you only earn for your own activity. If you start a discussion, you will not earn for the responses that others post. They will earn for those. You earn by commenting on them and furthering the topic. http://www.mylot.com/o/faq.aspx Welcome to myLot!

Tell me about it! I still have to stop and think so as not to confuse it with 'reputation'

I am new to mylot and still learning, mostly though trial and error. Participation is the key. Begin discussions, reply to your responders and respond to other discussions. It is important that everything you write or post has content and quality. I think this is how the majority of mylotters earn. But you can also complete tasks, play games and take surveys. My earning were disappointingly low in the beginning but they have improved as I have learned how to mylot. You can earn money by downloading and using the toolbar and by searching. And in fact, I just got a reward from mylot for searching using mylot search bar which is a really good one. Welcome to mylot. It's a lot of fun and more.

The search does not require you to download it in order to receive rewards. You can set it as your default search but without downloading anything. The games are not paid directly from myLot but from another site and the surveys are for fun with no earnings involved.

Thank you for your input and information, I am still new and still learning. However, isn't there a tool bar which is separate from the search engine? I have not downloaded the tool bar because I have so many already. I do not have that much space on my page. As for the games, I do not play games. As for the surveys, I have not attempted them because I work in market research and that usually disqualifies me. I also have only limitted time. Question: how do I edit my postings / writings?

Ni Rachaellee, Welcome to MYLOT!!!! Earnings on MYLOT totally depends on how active are you here. There are lot of methods of earning like posting quality responses,starting you own discussion,using search engine,tasks,referrals,blogs,photo uploading but all these requires your involvement. People do make much more that 5 cents its just depends on yourself but you won't get rich by MYLOT earnings as you should not think of earnings only as earning through MYLOT is less than the fun we find here. The number besides your name is user rating which goes up when you respond for unique discussion. It won't increase if you have replied on a discussion more that once. It doesn't matter how much you write but it is suggested by MYLOT to write as descriptive as possible.

Hey there and welcome to myLot. Your best bet would be to post quality comments and if you want a little extra money yu can try completing the tasks. Tasks are a great way of getting money on here. The numbers beside yur username is the number of posts you've made. The number will rise as you post.

That number does not include all of your posts. When you comment on the responses on your own topics, for example, it does not increase. It is not related to your eanings. Everything that you post (if it is within the Guidelines) will earn for you, even if the number does not increase.

Many think like that too You probably didn't notice but it didn't increase with the comment that you just posted here. If you go and post to me or HWG it will becuse it increases when you: - start a new topic and it receives 2 responses (or 1 response + 1 comment) - respond for the first time on a discussion started by others. - comment for the first time on a response on a discussion started by others. It decreases when you lose posts due to deletions.

Oh, thanks, mysd! I had always thought the number meant how many posts you had made. :D
