I am new to Mylot and do not have a clue on what I am supposed to do. I have read the FAQ and still am lost. Can somebody give me some guideance and suggestions on how mo be sucessfull as well as meet some new people. How do you get paid and what do you get paid to do on this website? Is it just your discussions or others that you may reply to? What does the number in parentheses mean and some people have stars next to their name. How do you get these? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hello houdini16409....... Welcome to mylot....Ask questions, remember to add tag words to help other members find your discussions, add your thoughts and opinions to other discussions, adding pictures to your discussions helps earnings, if they are on topic. Keep in mind that quality counts, responses of just a few words will not count towards your earnings. There are a number of types of topics that are considered less than "quality" , such as.....what color is ???anything. How old are You??? Anything that could really be considered pointless. Do not respond to discussions like this, they will eventually be deleted. Rate positive and negative when appropriate and report the things that need to be removed. There are thousands of topics and about 80,000 members, mylot requests our help locating the garbage. You'll get your star when you reach 100 discussions & responses....rating is determined by how others rate your discussions. Enjoy, have fun, be careful about giving out your personal info. Tom

Good advice I really appreciate it. I write for another website and I know what quality is all about. I will be sure not to give out any personal info as you never know who you will encounter on the internet... Thanks and have a great day!

Firstly... welcome to mylot... secondly down to business... you can get paid by pretty much anything you do on here: posting replies are 1-3 cents each depending on how explaintory and in depth they are... and a bit more if they get selected as best response... posting pictures in your discussion interests get you a cent a picture starting a discussion... you get 1 cent for every 10 repplies to your discussions so if you get 100 responses you will get 10 cents you get paid through paypal or egold and is put straight into your account on or just before the 15th of each month if you reach your minimum payout target the number next to people's names is how many posts they have made during their time here on mylot the stars are peoples ratings here on mylot... if you put your cursor over the star it will have a number over 100 come up... that number can go up or down depending on ratings and how well you respond to peoples discussions... you get one when you reach 100 posts and the rating will all depend on your past 100 posts whether you get a 1 (which is pretty bad) or a 10 which is pretty outstanding... most people are around 7-9 though. hope this helps you... happy mylotting!

Can you tell me where you found that every 10 replies earns 10 cents. Mylot is very secretive about how they pay and I do not think that would be available knowledge unless you are Admin. or a moderator.

Hi Houdini and a warm welcome to MyLot. As far as I am concerned, this is a place where you can really be yourself. There are a lot of caring people here who are always ready to help. Unfortunately, there are also a few here who only care about making money and don't give a flip who gets hurt. I am glad to say I have met some very fine folks and also some with great need for help. I am glad to meet both. I believe we only have one life to live here and the greatest joy we can receive is helping others. The best suggestion I can give you is "truly be yourself" Houdini, I would consider it an honor to be your friend. If I can help, "count on me!" Welcome,

Welcome to MyLot dude, here you just have to respond to the eisting discussions or you may even start a new thread. And you get paid for doing this, you can get paid if you have a PayPal account your money will be transferred there or you may buy something online through EBay. And the stars next to a persons name are his overall ratings based on what he does and the quality of his posts.

Well here it is in a nut shell. The more you post and the better the quailty of your post seems to earn you more here and the same go's with responding to them. Try not to use one liners and keep them as quailty and useful as possible. I know it doesnt explain much but thats really all there is to it. Also upload pictures with our discussions.

the no. denotes the no of responses you give and posted discussions no exact amount is being applied here..it depends on the admin upon evaluation,,no copy pasting of discussion and responses and etc

you said a very important thing! NEVER cut and paste discussions, or you will get banned because it's against the rules. Don't cheat or mylot moderators will catch you ;-). If you post something offensive or not allowed, your message will be deleted and you will loose your earnings. Try to not post in discussions that you think not allowed ones, because if those discussions get deleted, you will loose your earnings too! If you see not-allowed discussions, you can tell to myLot moderators hitting the "!" button explaining the reason of your signaling

I've been in this forum for close to 5 days now. At first it was confusing, but then again it isn't. I've noticed that we get paid as they said, by writing your own discussions, putting images according to your topic discussions, replying to other discussions, rating people who replied to yours and on other people's discussions. You also get paid be referring your friends and other people. You get paid every 24 hours depending how many you've post or referred daily. You can even add people as your friends, read up their discussions and reply from there. There are a lot of advantages with this site. Hope this helps!!

As a senior myLotter I am here to help you all only :) The only thing you have to do here is to post quality content. Your answer should contain atleast three or four lines and must be known in a good vocabulary helps you to earn much as compare to you are earning right now. Try to create your own discussions daily, who contains quality content and ability to attract fellow myLotter towards it, much post you got in your discussion much money you will earn. Upload pictures in interest as much as you can and as much myLot allows you to do by this way you can even earn few pennies in start but after hitting hundred discussions a star occurs infront of your name and then it will allow how much pictures you can post. I am having star number nine and I am allowed to post twenty six pictures daily. And the last way is to get referrals under your link, you will get paid 25% of what your referral will earn. So simple and easy :) Now have a nice day! And happy earnings.

In Mylot you earn while you take part in discussions. You can choose your categories of interest and start posting respnonses to the discussios others have started. Now, for each discussion you respond to, you get a point, shown in the braces. Also, you can start your own discussions and you will get 1 point for that as well, if someone responds to your discussions. Once you get 100 points, you get a star rating based on how many best responses you got and how many +/- you got. Both of these are given when you respond to others post. Always mark a response as best, when you start a discussion. When you post, always use good language and spelling, also make your posts as long as possible, at least 4 lines.
