I have been a member of mylot for years but haven't logged on for a couple of years and have I have forgotten how it works. I had a lot of friends and made some decent money but now I forget how everything goes. Do we still get paid for images? Is it better to start discussions or respond? I looked over the site and can't find the information! Can anyone tell me how it works now? Thanks in advance!

Posting relevant, non-copyright images to illustrate a discussion can constitute part of your earnings. There is NO specific payment 'per post'. Your earnings are calculated by a very complex algorithm which rewards the QUALITY of your participation. Some people find it easier to respond to and comment on other people's discussions; others find it more rewarding to start their own discussion topics and to maintain the discussion by commenting on the responses (which is the meaning of 'discussion', after all!). The information you were probably looking for is in the FAQs under "Earnings and Payment Information": http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14 You would be WELL advised to read the Guidelines several times because moderation is strict here and much time (and earnings) can be lost by responding to discussions which are bound to be removed (as well as starting discussions which violate the Guidelines, of course!)

I have learned my lesson as far as moderation is concerned. I keep away from discussions such as politics, religion and a few others. I've been a mylot member for years but just came back. Thanks for the warning :)

oh welcome back. just keep participating either way by starting discussions or responding. I guess I do most of the responding cos I sometimes have nothing to start a discussion with. So just keep responding. it is better I guess. by being active everything you forgot will be refreshed. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I think I am more for starting discussions. I am very inquisitive and like to hear other peoples thoughts on a subject.

Waahh, that was a very long period of absence, anyway, I'm glad you decided to come back. Well, myLot pays you for every post you make, from your referrals, for using the search engine feature, and yes, I believe, also from uploading photos, but we can only upload photo in discussions, once we reach the 500 posts mark. Starting a discussion and responding to other member's discussion have their own advantages and it will be depends on you where you will feel more comfortable. I can say responding to other member's discussion is easier since the topic is already present, you will save the time of thinking and formulating a topic and it's content, and all you have to do is share what's on your mind about the topic. While others prefer to start a discussion because it has I can say a slight advantage because if you will receive responses on your topic, you will then have the opportunity to comment on each of them, which will be good because every comment you will give, it will also adds up to your earnings. Remember, we earn here from our own posts and activities and not from others' activities unless they are your referrals. So what important here is to get active and enjoy reading and participating in discussions. Good luck and good day! Happy myLotting!

Thanks for all the good information! I like both starting and responding to discussions. I also like to use my personal images such as my cats and grandson. I always feel I should say something when someone responds to my discusion.

Hello, If you would carefully read all the guidelines and guides you would understand. but i will try to explain. You still earn for images, But NO ONE can say if it's better to create or respond to discussions as we don't know the rates of how we get paid. Just do the things you like most whether it is creating or responding. Happy myLotting!

I like doing both responding and creating. I especially like to add personal images that I have of my cats and new grandson.

welcome back. I would say just keep participating and all will be refreshed what you forgot. many people I have seen respond more and start less. for me also the same. I respond to more discussion that to start because I do not have anything to start a discussion at times. just be active by quality writing i guess and that is the main trick to earn good. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
