I have been without a computer for a couple days, but i have been working my butt off this past week to get caught up so i figured that i would earn alot of money in this past week because last month i posted like 100 posts in one day and made over 2 bucks. so on monday i posted 53 responses, so i figured i would get about 1.00 well i was wrong i got only like 69 cents. So is it just me or are you realizing that mylot is giving out less money?

This is very true missyd. Mylot don't pay us like they did before. I think it's only because of growing members. As you can see now Mylot has more than 70000 members, so they have to pay all of them for their posts and they also have to pay for referrals. Referrals takes out lots of money without any work. So, they are now cutting those money from our work. For me sad thing is I don't have referral, so very less money for me:(.

I do think they're paying less. Maybe they think that some members won't mind as they've been here for so long and like the features of the site. I've been spending less time on mylot since they've started paying less as I'm a member of better paying sites, but I still like to pop in for a while as I am one of those members who like the site!

The amount you earn is not just dependent on the number of posts. It is not consistent. Just try posting quality posts and best of luck!

It is a quality post. A quality post that is worthy of people giving you a positive rating. Positive ratings earn you more.

I'm still trying to figure out the pay schedule around here. On the one hand, we are probably all idiots to sit and stare at the computer writing 100 posts and only make 2 bucks. That's probably the lowest pay for the most effort on the planet. My gripe is when I see I have a certain number of posts so I decide to write 5 more before taking a break. I write 5 and then see only 4 of them added to my total. I think they are being wiped out somewhere else as fast as I can write them. I'm thinking strongly of taking my money and running next time I get paid. Enough of being a slave.

well i dont know, just try to imagine, they have 70,000+ members, though not all are really active, i think its just too much to pay that many people. but im not against mylot for i just received my 20$ payout, im so happy, perhaps we should all be more patient and just try to enjoy, be money your second priority so to avoid frustrations :) thanks and goodluck!!

You can go round and round in circles trying to figure out the payment system here. Only MyLot knows for sure what is going on. I just keep responding to the discussions I find interesting and posting some of my own. What happens from there happens.

I had not noticed particularly, as I have not had the time to post more than about thirty five posts tops in any day for the last five days. I do okay. I do not understand how they calculate. I don't reven try. I just have a general goal for the month. At the end of last payout, my payout bumped up quite a bit.

I have noticed that I have been getting paid less. I wonder what the pay scale is anyway?

Yes, I noticed this too.Two days ago, I earned 45 cents (finishing school took priority). Yesterday's earnings? FOUR CENTS! Yikes, I don't think I've earned that little, except for the day I couldn't post anything. I really couldn't find anything new to post about, so I responded to posts as well as rated mine. For that, I should've gone back to bed for some much needed ZZZZZZs!

I have not been nearly as dedecated as you so difficult to say. However it does seem like they have made it more difficult to make that little money. I have seen other people questioning this too. So there must be something to it. The worst part of it all is you really have no way of knowing how that money is earned or lost. Just a simple indication of what transpired would be great. Of course that would put them on the hot seat. So i won't be looking for anything like that son. Just the daily indication of money made I guess.

Those kind of days happen. I have posted only 10 posts on one day and got an amazing 30 cents before. While other days I have made 50 posts and only got 30 cents. Just hang in there and things will be great in the end.

Seriously! How do you people get some much money!? I post over 30 post and only got about 20 cents! I am really confused about this earnings thing. I know that the quality counts and everything, so I worked hard to keep the quality of the post good. I think I made it good enough! But, last night, I posted around 80 post and I only recieved 30 cents! Can someone help me out and see how many post or discussions I need to write and how long I have to make them to get 1.00$!?

From the start of February until the other day, I believe myLot lowered the rates by 50%. But I guess they returned the rates already because when I checked my earnings for my posts yesterday, I got about the same earnings I got before for the same number of posts.

I have not logged on for a few days but this seems to be the topic of conversation. I will find out tomorrow I guess. I have been pounding the keyboard for a few hours now. I hope it is worth it.

Truly, I am here to have fun and if make a buck or two in the process so be it. I believe it is not the amount of posts but being consistent. Each day will be different in what you earn but clearly it does no good to dwell on what you get as I don't think they have a set payout like most think they do.

well, if you posts have no real value, it speaks for itself
