How many posts/how long does it take before I start seeing earnings?

enzichan @enzichan (5) • United States 6 Feb 13

Does posting new discussions and replying to discussions earn the same amount?

6 responses •

marquisdesade No one, and I mean no one can really tell you that posting this and this number can earn you this and this amount of money. No, mylot doesn't pay per post, it pays per quality of your discussions, whatever that means, I don't know myself.

marquisdesade What I can do for mylot is what mylot wants. As an individual, I can take part in conversations, leave back words of wisdom, "be descriptive" as much as possible. I don't know what else I can give.

We all wait. Waiting is a perpetual phenomena.It could last for a minute, an hour, a day, may be months, years or for some who do not know when to stop waiting, it could be forever. How significant is waiting for you and what...
