Do you still earn money by starting a discussion?

June 28, 2011 4:07am CST
I've started a discussion here on mylot and it got quite a number of responses. The problem is none of them got credited and I didn't get any cent from them. I thought they said that if one would start a discussion, 1 cent will be credited for every response other mylotters post. Can anybody tell me what is going on? I still get credited for every response I post on other user's discussions though.

"I thought they said that if one would start a discussion, 1 cent will be credited for every response other mylotters post." Who are "they"? Where ever you found this information, it is COMPLETELY WRONG! 1) There is NO fixed price 'per post'. MyLot pays according to the quality of your participation and that takes into account many things besides just 'posting'. 2) You are ONLY paid for YOUR participation. You earn NOTHING for what other people do! If you post a discussion and get a hundred responses but don't reply to any of them with good quality, descriptive and relevant comments which further the discussion, you will earn NOTHING more. NEVER assume things or take what others say to be true. Always read the official information, rules and Terms of a site.

Hi owlwings, Good day my friend.I guess what you have posted is very clear for those who still have doubts on how this site works.Where did they get that idea.It is a must for us to read first the rules of a certain site and if we are amenable to it then that's the the time to decide if we want to join or not.Don't believe on what others are saying.

That is just incorrect and you got mylot very wrong. Mylot is a activity site where you get paid for your activity. They Nowhere state in their FAQs that you get awarded if others respond to your discussions. You only get paid for your own activity, Not for others responses on your discussion. try reading this http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#15 You got credited for the responses you made because it was your activity and mylot only pays you for your activity. And I you want to increase your earnings I will just recommend you comment on almost each response which you get on the discussion. You also get paid for commenting on responses. And when you comment they comment back and then comment back again that way you will really increase your earnings by a great extent.

Hello I think that is not enought to create a discussion It is necessary to govern it.That can be when you make responses and discuss about things in different sides as you put your point and explore the point of other users of Mylot.

No, I don't think so that you will paid a cent or received your response on a discussion. It's depend on the quality of your discussion, Remember you must re response on a discussion.

I agree. That's why you see on the left side of the comment box the instruction stating that you should be as descriptive as possible with your comment. You should avoid posting one-liner comments, that's one, and also you would have to avoid senseless and/or pointless discussions. How long have you waited?

I also started a discussion here, not quite sure how the scoring is. I think you will earn extra from starting discussions other than posting. It usually updates after 24 hrs so you may want to check your earnings daily for the updates. All of the posts can be tracked with your account. So keep the discussions coming.

I think you better read all the responses up there and you will find, a clear answer to the question asked by the user and you will have a better idea about mylot and its earning methods on mylot. Before responding to a discussion you should read the responses before you so that you might have a good idea on what the discussion is about.

You do not earn for people responding to your discussions you only earn for your responses and comments that you your self if post. If you get a lot of responses on one of your discussions you wont be earning for them, the users who posted will be earning for them selves. read it here they dont say that they pay for other people responding to your discussions. http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#15
