ive made 255 posts for only $1.26.

That doesn't seem to be much money either. I am not doing very well either. At first I was making quite good money but now I have made an average of just under 2c per reply. I do try to write at least 4 lines in my reply and make sure it is relevent to the question so maybe that is why I am doing a bit better than you.

Oh dear! I made more than that before I hit 100 posts, I had no idea that earnings would be so varied. However I think it has a lot to do with what you are trying to get from the site. Earnings are not a priority for me because I get decent money from my job. I post for fun and to engage people in conversation. Can I suggest one thing? Try not to focus on quanity of posts - obviously it's not helping. Spend 'more' time on 'less' posts and only discuss things that genuinely interest you. I think you will have more fun and the earnings will start happening all of their own. Best of luck to you. Note: it sometimes takes more than a day for some posts to carry over, you might find on the next update you get a big surge in earnings.

When I first joined mylot it was no problem reaching payout every month and some extra! Last month I didnt even reach payout in time and so far this month Ive only made about $2! It's starting to seem like Mylot is becoming a waste of time as they keep paying less and less!
