I know that it isn't necessarily the number of posts you have, but the content of those posts and how you're rated. It's also the type of discussions you post and how many responses you get. If you're only putting one line responses, or one line discussions, that would be why your earning's are lower. quality vs. quantity. You might try and see if that helps! good luck!

Well there could be many reasons why you got so little pay for what you did so heres a few: maybe your post where to short, did you spam at all? or maybe they just didnt contribute to the conversation. That is really bad if thats the case but I have never been paid so little from here for that many post. There is something you must be doing wrong so check out the rules again in the FAQ.

First of all you should choose quality discussions and then try to respond as long as you can and thengive qulaity answers. Try to start few discussions of your own in a day, and then comment the responses which you have got for your discussions and also rate it. Mark the best response. Rate the other people discussions if you like it. In this manner your earning will increase.

hmmm, if you did it on your valuable time, than the answer definately yes it is waste your time, but if you did it on your free time, just like me, I'm replying on mylot just on my free time, and just because my free time is pretty a lot, than I could post pretty a lot too, and one more thing, your post should be quality enough, and also if you get a best response it will makes your earn boosting a little than usual, imho.

yeah, i come here on my free time also. Quality is much better than quantity like stated above. If you are just posting one liners, you will not be getting very far. Post some thoughtful responses to questions, or start good thoughtful discussions and you will get much farther faster.

Earning don't depends from the number of posts, but from the number and quality of words that you write. I made a try. In a day 40 posts with a few word each one. 0.20 Another day 7 posts with much words and quality words. 0.20 So from that moment i write a lot of words tring to write discussion which are of a good quality

the earning system in mylot is very complicated. there is no hard and fast rule on how we are paid. one thing is sure, we get paid about a cent or more for every post we make. some users get very lucky by posting quality and long discussions and responses and they get paid 3cents or more for every post. one time i made 7cents per every post i made, but those posts were really long, at least 300words. but it was very time consuming that i ended up just responding without thinking of the number of words per response i make. i suggest you make more quality discussions and responses, and make them lengthy ones too. don't forget to rate people, mark the best response. Choose your topic well, choose the discussion you will respond to. do not respond to one line discussions. am sure you will not be paid for doing so. aim at least 30 good posts everyday, and i mean really good ones. you earn close to a dollar or a dollar if you do this. wish you luck. take care.

Yeah, I agree about it being complicated. The OP of this discussion had made .61 after over 200 responses; i've made 1.71 with well under 100 responses. But of course I have uploaded images too, and I have one active referral. I'll try to get some more refers though, soon. But also good advice about posting to good discussions and with good in depth responses.

The earnings we get in mylot is really a very small sum. This is the reason why it will not be rewarding at all if one will treat this forum as a good source of income by simply participating in it. It will be more rewarding if you will treat your participation here as getting into a forum where you can chat with people you don't even have any idea as to who that one really is. Quite an opportunity which one may grab, depending on the decision taken. Stay away from the silly questions. Those which arouse your interest and curiosity will surely feel not crazy enough for you to get into. Just keep on posting discussions whenever you have the time for it and you will see that your earnings will accumulate until it reaches a sizeable amount. It may take sometime just as mine did. I am here because I find it amusing to be sharing my ideas and experiences with others.

I've been here 3 weeks. I also get frustrated and gave up responding to all I used to. I was sick of the fact one day I responded to almost 20 comments but gave a negative to someone a first and last. I got $.02 that whole day for like 3 hrs of posting. The other night I posted 32 great posts and got paid $1.02 my most ever in a single day. The next day also 32 same kind. I got $.52. I know I am only on here in part for the time and part on the money. Once I get a real job I will come of course but not as often or not as many posts. I dont have a job so its pretty much just to earn like an extra few dollars this month. NEEDED badly I might add! I know sometimes I have gotten LESS that $.01 a posts seeing I would posts like 20 and get $.20 and then posts 25 and get like $.20 or something like that... dont get it. Its okay. I am having fun for now at least :)

Hi jacton, i've just joined mylot too (slightly over a wekk i think). And as you can see, my accumulated discussion is only 41 compared to your number of responses/discussions 210. However, my earnings is more than $1.00 I'm not sure how posts are rated, but i do think that if you have good quality postings, the earnings will be more. Just like what the other users have said. Try and put in a little more thought to the posts you are commenting about. Hopefully your earnings will go up. Good Luck!!

I will give some tips for you increase your earnings: 1- Take a look of Guideline. 2- Make sure that you are making a quality responses. 3- Make long reponses with 3 lines at least. 4- Post the maximum pictures that you can. 5- Create new discussion with high quality for you have a lot of member's responses. 6- comment in some responese of members Thats it... I think that you are making wrong, making for quantity and not quality. If you make a response with 2 words, I bet that you will not receive anything for it or very very few. Ex: "I agree" , "ok", "I like". Good earnings for you and good luck.

The main thing is if your here to make a living then you will be highly dissapointed. This website isnt made to pay everyone as if this were their job. This website should be used in your free time whether you need the few extra dollars or you just like all the interesting discussions. But if you really want the advice then try to make you responses really thick and juicy. If you throw in those little one liners than you wont even get a penny for your thoughts. Actually take the time and think about what you are going to put into your responses instead of just throwing out a stupid idea. So, in the end if your in just for the money then you will be very dissapointed. You could always try other well paying websites.

you have to give quality answers, and at least three to four sentences long, i think mylot admins are the ones who gives credit to our replies and posts. good day and happy posting..

You and I both are new member of mylot. I think that I joined a week before you but your number of posts are higher than my but you said that you have only $0.61 in your earnings. That is less compared to the number of posts that you have which is 200+ . The number of your post is high but your earning is less. This means that you are not paid at mylot for your number of posts but are paid for the quality of your posts. The quality of your post is determined by different factors and I am guessing that our ratings play a very important role in determining the quality of our post. What I suggest is for you to continue posting in the same rate but you should try to post high quality posts. Instead of posting one liners don't post at all. Be respectful to everyone and make lots of friends over here. That way you will be able to increase the amount that you are getting paid.

I don't think, payment is rated by the number of responses you give. I tihkn you should concentrate on discussions that are reasonable and make valueble responses, thats how the earnings are calculated, i think, so don't give up yet, just improve your responses.

what i see from your post is you are losing faith in this from the beginning .remember its just the beginning.Slowly u will gain momentum.and then you will be able to make much more than what you are presently earning.and love whatever you do.that way you will never feel that you are wasting your time.Goood luck to you..

I agree with the public. You really have to put some effort into your responses and discussions etc. You can just post nice and then get something out of that quality beats quantity. Otherwise this whole Mylot thing would be ....umm....weird.. in a cosmic kind of way.. I cant explain it.

My advice to you is not to worry about the money and just continue on posting, as the reward will be a pleasant surprise at the end!
