Earnings question! (Now I feel like a newbie)..

I have noticed the same thing over the past month. I always post at least 30 responses a day some days I make real good , others I make half. I think I have found the reason, just by checking this all out. This is not written in stone, but I did find I make at least .01 per post when I am posting to those with an 8 or above on their star. The way I found this out was one day I posted 30 to all 8,9, and 10's, I received .56. The next day I posted to only newbies or those with a very low star and I only made .27. So now I am thinking the stars do have a significance.

Well, your not alone - my profile says it was updated 44 minutes ago and I earned nothing. I counted and I did 25 responses, all quality ones, started a discussion (10 responses already), and uploaded a photo - I got nothing at all. Going to give them a couple hours, maybe it's just a glitch but if that's the case, that I didn't earn anything for all that work I don't think I'll be on mylot much.

This can happen sometimes for no apparent reason, the next day may compensate you with higher than usual earnings, it happened to me before, I wouldn't worry unless it continues for several days, but generally speaking mylot rewards quality and I'm sure that your posting never lost any quality so it might be just fluctuations in mylot system and your earnings rate will be back to normal soon :)

Hi raijin, I earned just about 32 cents as well and i've made more responses for march 25. Which i made last night and this morning. I even had I think about 3 discussions or I think I made 5 as the topics just come as they please. Is that your usual pay for a set of 30 discussions + your started topics? Because sometimes I think the do cleanups over the weekends. You know, delete some discussions here and there. That's why no matter how much the effort you put in responding to discussions, it wont matter. No matter how many have you responded too- it still won't matter, because they delete some topics and the responses that went along with it. And if you responded to some deleted discussion- then your earnings are also deducted. Sad to say but thats how they work here. Maybe just try to choose the topics you respond to- don't bother replying to celebration posts like "yay i reached 100!, i earned a lot! im new here welcome me..." stuffs like that because they are eventually deleted. Try not responding to jokes as well as they may get deleted- unless the joke has something substantial to talk about and there is a discussion topic in it. That is why sometimes, I'm careful in making or starting topics because im afraid they just might get deleted. Are you sure none of the discussions you responded to got deleted? if so- may i suggest you- monitor the number of posts you make before logging out. Then upon your next login- like the next day for example- check your post numbers if they decreased in some way- if they did, then some got deleted. Don't worry ok? maybe tommorow your uncredited efforts will be carried over. have a nice day...

Actually I'm a newbie here and been having this kind of questions and also seeing it every where, what i learned is if you respond to discussions a few hours before the earnings update time (4 -5 hours or more) they don't get counted and the roll up to the next day, so maybe your next day earnings will see a raise for posts that was not counted yet. Other than that it doesn't seem to be any fixed rules for how we get credited for our posts, what works for some is not working for others, maybe mylot admin have a very complected and variable system to reward earnings so no one will learn how to cheat it. Anyway, i hope your earnings will be back to normal tomorrow :)

I have been here for 3 days, and yesterday I had a total of 200 posts, which means 100 each day, and I got about 1.00$ each day. Today I did 150 posts ( im addicted ) so we shall see...im sure you will get your earnings soon, I hear that they have been busy with upgrades!! Cant wait to see what that is!

All the money you get depends on the value of discussions responses you make and not on the number of the ones you respond ao dont panic try to do it the smarter way than the harder way

I also have seen the same difference in mylot payouts. I have recentely returned to mylot and have noticed that they are paying way less than what they used to pay before.

The money on Mylot is less these days. It's not you. they just are not paying us so much as they used to and it seems to get less every month.

i think it happens also to other members here including me.i exeperience that one also i responded to many discussion but i got only .06 cents.i think mylot change their rating styles.hope mylot would answer us because its unusual.all i am doing right now is to work hard..

Ohh! that was very low raijin! I really advice you to send inquiry about it on mylot admin if you really have serious question on your earnings that was not so good. Hope you resolved it soon my friend.

hi! a quick question... when you made your usual 30 posts, did you make it around your usual time with mylot? if not, then the cut-off time is probably the cause. another thing is probably because of the time difference, there would seem like a delay sort of in the update of the earnings. i also heard from one mylotter that posts made 4-5 hours before the scheduled update might be credited to the next day's earnings. that would seem like a double delay somewhat coz that would mean update 2 days after. in view of the significance of responding to discussion of mylotters with 8-10 star ratings to their name compared to newbies or lower star ratings... i think, it's probably because mylotters with higher star ratings tend to really give ratings to responses in their discussions compared to newbies. so in effect, we probably get more (+) ratings from them too. star ratings reflect the quality of responses, i think they also have bearings on the earnings too, because as many have said, we earn from the quality posts we make. i haven't experienced yet a decrease in earnings. sometimes i get more than what i'm expecting because i only average about 10 posts (sometimes between 3-12 only) a day on good days, and i haven't really uploaded pictures, only once. but i get around 25-65 cents on the average. i couldn't track the difference because i sign in at mylot at different times too. some also say that if your discussion has more than 10 responses, it can increase your earnings too. hope this helps. :)

i am also new to this site. how could we earn to this one?... the more posts??? the more pix??? the more referrals?? would mean a good earning???

Hi rajin!! thanks for the info. I'm just a 2 hour old MyLot member and what an impression it is for me to hear about your case. If this would be the case and My Lot has no response as to why those earnings are low, i won't even bother logging to this community again, ever. If what they've offered is untrue.

Dont worry, you'll probably get it in a few days. I remember awhile back I made about 100 posts. I only got about 5 cents. I was so angry. A few days later I got like $2. You'll get it! Hang in there.

i have observed this already before.. my photos ranges at .03/photo.. lately it ranges at .01/photo.. my post also did the same.. i cant say that why is that happening.. maybe they are changing their ways in rating posts and photos..

This is not new to me. I have experience that too, only cents for many post but afte noticing that i took mylot slowly. i post maybe five or seven post and i get maybe 20-30 cents. I think im ok with it.

Sometimes I also notice that there are days that I earn less than I expected because I replied a lot and started discussions too. But there are also days that I earn a bit more than I expected. When I look at the dates that I earned more, it's usually the day after I got earnings less than I expected. So I'm thinking that maybe it's the time difference. Just a guess on my part.

its been quite a time for my signing up on mylt...bt the earingns here r not tht gud as compared to other sites....u continue working nd making refferals nd earn big bucks..try ur luck..

welli will try anbd see if this happens to me as well
