Are MyLot earnings slow today? Or am I just having a rough one?

I was all excited a couple of days ago because my earnings here had actually passed the $3.00 mark as I slept. I was making more than $00.30 a day, mostly for interacting on others' posts, and I thought that was pretty cool. But today, my earnings have hardly moved, in spite of the fact that I did a post this morning (it even has a pretty picture in it) and did a lot of visiting before my 8 AM class. Is today a slow day in general? Or am I just having a rough one after a few good ones?

It would be difficult for me to assess because I have been preoccupied reformatting my main computer today and have not been here very much myself.

@Susan2015 It is fine for me because I like computers and do not mind an occasional challenge.

@wiLLmaH You are not alone in that because nobody will have seen me online at the time, although I did have a few brief visits with my laptop.

Oh, that is the reason @asylum that I do not see any interactions from you this past few hours.

mercy, jest aint no makin' ya happy these days, eh? i'm figurin' e'en 10 cent/day's better 'n what'cha got fer yer efforts 't the other place, correct? does seem to fluctuate here 'n i dunno why. ya made me feel the need to go check that dang bank myself to see what the heck's goin' on. i'll tell ya though, the more ya interact with others seems to be key here versus how many discussions ya can start yerself. sure takes the stress o'er what to dribble off the table. 'course i've been in a funk 'n ought not be on this dang thingy 't all this past month. big , recall to breathe 'n be thankful fer a $10 payout,

@TheHorse i shudder 't such a thought! yer gonna get there, my friend. heck, when i looked 't mine i nearly fainted! only took me 34 days to reach $10, lol. 'course, its taken me o'er 5 months to do such 't the other place. i dunno if'n its e'en worth the effort to redeem there when i finally make that $2.97 to be able to do such. e'en the moderator dunno when/'f if folks're e'er gonna get paid there. she's kinda wishy-washy with her responses i fear. first mr. tyler's gone (from last week) 'n then today she says that him, avi 'n jason 're still there. not true 'less jason's runnin' his end from new jersey 'r wheree'er the heck he's from. jest sayin'...

@crazyhorseladycx I reckon you know I was kiddin', but I do look forward to my first payout here, if only for the feeling of validation. That poor moderator gal is doin' the best she can under the circumstances.

I'm still scared that that fella Avi is going to take his Bubblews money and buy this site and none of us will get paid and then I'll be frustrated again. I wanna get to $10 before the end of November so I can tell myself I was paid for writing on the internet, just like the old days,when I used to write for Epinions.

I had the feeling that they were slower to update the earnings, I found that my earnings grew more than usual during the night.

@TheHorse Does it move now? I have noticed that some days the amount is updated less frequently.

That could be a part of it. There were comments on my comments, but the "bank" wasn't moving.

I found that when I first started here everyone rushed to welcome me, and I earned really well with all the interaction on my posts, and also my own interaction of course. But then it did drop off, and it didn't start really climbing again till I had established myself here and people got to know me. So don't get discouraged, just keep on plugging away and your earnings should start to climb again. I've actually had a really good day here today.

@TheHorse All you can do is just keep plodding on. I am running ever so slowly behind you and have just gotten over $2. However I cannot get on here ever day so I think if I find a way to pop in every day I will start seeing better results. Good for you to have gotten so far.

@RasmaSandra I think I've managed at least a post day since I came over here. And I've found the time to do a lot of visiting. But it will vary day to day.

@TheHorse Hey, don't look at me for witty material. I wrote a funny (in my mind) post about the plight of being an evil genius and only one person commented on it. Mainly it's me jumping on the band wagon of others.

Well, dang it, send some visitors over here. Or maybe I'll just leave some highly intelligent or amusing or provocative comments on your discussions from today and ride you like a cowboy on a dependable Morgan.

Each day is different.. the traffic ebbs and flows at will. Someday I make quite a bit while on others I make very little. It also depends on your time zone.. I am sure you are free from such issues.

Some have suggested that the "bank" is lagging behind actual responses to our posts and comments. I'm not sure.

@else34 Did it pick back up? My "moving average" is still stable to up slightly overall, but there are some really quiet times.

I think it's much like @jaboUK said. After your initial post, it takes a little time to establish yourself and for people to get to know you and you to get to know them.

Some days are rougher than others, I guess. I did have a few days when I didn't post anything or interact that much but the bank still increased pretty good. Some days are not as good.

I've had a couple of pleasant "overnight surprises." I'm hoping for one tonight. Today was kind of slow, though I was able to write two posts.

There's always some "random fluctuation." Maybe that's all it is. Are your earnings going up overall?

Here, the main thing is to comment on others' posts a lot. We're rewarded for responses to our comments (on others' posts) as much as for others' comments on our own posts. In theory, you could never do a post of your own (I think they're called "discussions" here) and still do well here. It stimulates conversations, which makes things more fun.

I noticed also that earnings were slow in adding up. I also did a lot of activities yesterday but the cents moved so slow. Well, it is okay, maybe today, the earnings will be better.

Even slower for me today. But I'm sure things will pick up.

I'm still experiencing the "random fluctuation" thing. I had a good day after my "whinin', and then a couple of slow ones.
