I have just reached the $5 dollar mark and I am happy about it. I know it's far from having a payout but it is sort of an achievement for me because I only get to log here for 3-4 hours per day only. And my time to log here is not really fully dedicated because I am doing other things. I just reply to discussions because sometimes my mind just goes blank as to what discussion to start. Anyway, I don't need to explain, do I? I am just sharing my happiness. May your day be filled with all things good!

Way to Go!! $5 is a nice start for sure, and if you did it in 220 posts, that is not too bad. And boy do I know what you mean by not posting. There are days and times I come on here, and can answer away, start a New discussion, etc. with no problem, and other times have to leave this site due to my Brain not wanting to function like it should. It is nice when the words can flow on here as it makes it easier to be here.
Wishing you the best towards payout. MyLot Rocks!!

I guess you're making another $5 since this topic was started 4 weeks ago. Way to go girl. I hope we can get our minimum payout so we could get it by next month's payout. As for me, I think I couldn't make it since I'm still struggling my first $5. LOL

You're doing so well! Congrats! And, it's good that you're keeping the My Lot habit in check. When I first started, I would log in everyday and do 100 posts.
Course, I'm a stay at home mom, so I have a bit more free time than someone who might be working outside the home.
My point is this. I wound up feeling fried and drained by the end of the day.
I've found that simply popping in occasionally to respond to a few discussions or start a conversation is less tiring and keeps my posts fresh and relevant. More so than babysitting the computer all day. So, you're on a good path! People like hearing a fresh perspective.
My money on My Lot is going up a lot slower than it was initially, but at least it is going up. And, that's good news.
I think I read somewhere that you get paid when you upload a photo with every discussion. Not sure if that's true. But, I have been doing it anyway. I think that it makes my discussions more interesting.
And, try to make your replies at least a couple paragraphs long. Stay on point. And, try to add something new to each discussion. I know it'll take a bit extra work, but I hear that's what they are looking for.
And, post what you know.
One of my best ideas for finding discussions that interest me is to use the search engine feature at the top of the page. Just enter a couple keywords and the machine will locate hundreds of posts on your favorite topic.
Maybe you like pizza, or a particular TV show.
Just enter that into the searh box and you'll have hours of paying posts waiting for you!
You'll never run out of ideas.
Hope those tips help you out here on My Lot.

Wow! Thank you very much for all these tips and the encouragement. I am also a stay-at-home mom but I have 3 kids ages 5, soon-to-be 4 and 18 months so I am busy the whole day. I only get to have my own time when they are sleeping already. I have used the search feature in Mylot and it really helps. Again thanks and keep up your good work! :)
