You have to make sure the Image has something to do with the Discussion and that it was not the same Image as you will only get paid once for one Image I hope this helps

i got 24cents for all the photos i uploaded yesterday including that in my interests. i think you get up to a cent per photo. not clear still. there were times when i uploaded many pictures and yet i get only 13 cents. yesterday was a lucky day, i got 24 cents. just keep uploading GOOD photos that are related to the discussion.

really. i've never got any money for the pictures in my interests. how many photos did you upload yesterday? i guess i'll give it another try but if i still only get a penny then i'll have to stop uploading because it does take a long time to do for that little of money. thanks for sharing.

I emailed myLot with that question and the answer was you get paid onve for each new photo you don't get paid using the same photo again. They also said it could affect your account. I'm not quite clear what that meant.

i think they meant if you use the picture more than once it could make you earn less. it just takes too long to do all that for a penny. thanks for responding.

i've uploaded many to my profile but another user said they don't pay for that anymore. so that may be what's going on in your situation. thanks for responding.

i also feel the same way. i'm not going to post anymore either unless i really like it. thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I think I can vaguely answer this question... Firstly, the picture has to be relevant to the discussion in which you upload it. Secondly, you only get paid for each different picture.. i.e. you can't use the same one two or three times and get paid each time for it. You get paid $0.01 for each different, relevant pic you upload into discussions. That's the way it's worked with me. Good luck on your future postings and uploads. Brightest Blessings.

i dont think i used the same picture more than once. i am pretty sure i uploaded all different pics. i'll have to check it out. i dont think they were relevant to the discussion though. one of them was but i dont remember the other 2. thanks for helping and i'll try it your way and see if it works with me too.

i usually get a penny a picture but i havn't posted more than one picture in a day so i'm not sure. Maybe you should just post one picture a day, than you'll get paid the penny. Also make sure that your picture is relevant to the conversation/topic. The way your photos are rated will also affect how much you make. Good luck!!

i posted 3 the other day and got 1 penny. i think i will just post one picture and see if it makes any difference. thank you for the advice.

REALLY??? My rating just turned 500 a few hours ago, so i think i might try this myself. Didn't they say it's much much more than that for photo upload? :S

yap, i got 2 cents for 3 photos i uploaded. there was one time when i didn't get any payment for the photos. i really don't understand the criteria for getting good pay.

that's no good. no payment for photos. that would've made me a bit mad since it takes so long to post the photos. thanks for responding

When I first started on here you used to get paid for all the pictures you put on even those in your profile page but they have since changed the rules. I posted one the other day and didn't get paid at all and then yesterday I posted one and got paid 1 cent. I think they are getting pretty particular with ensuring it has something to do with the topic. Personally I don't think I'll bother with pics now, they take time to download and you could be responding to three discussions in that time.

sounds like they're becoming more strict. must have been nice for getting money for the pictures on your profile page. i probably won't bother with pics now either. takes way too long for so little. i'd rather be posting responses and know i'm getting what it's worth. thanks for responding.

it is a lot of work and i only got 1 penny. i know i didnt explain it that great. but the other day i only got 1 penny for a few pictures and i thought that was wrong. but the same thing happened again. so i guess it's right. thanks for answering.

initially i used to post pictures.i was also paid 1 penny for each of them. after some days i'm not paid for posting pics and so i have stopped that.

i don't post very many pictures but it just takes too long to go through all that for 1 penny. thanks for responding.

well u will get paid only if u upload pictures in interest categories, not in new topics u start, but its a good idea to put a picture on ur newly created discussion topic

wow, that seems like a lot of work for a penny. Also, you have to leave that picture stored on your computer indefinitely do you not? If you took it off, the link would be broken. Too much work for a penny! Thanks pebbles for asking this, I had been wondering too! I used 2 pictures on the first day I hit 500...and I got 3 cents?

it's a ton of work for a penny. seriously i dont think i'll be posting many pictures anymore. i don't think you have to have the picture stored onto your hardrive indefinitely. i've erased some on my hardrive and not had a problem. but it could be too since the link would be broken. thanks for responding.
