I am new to this site (Its my 3rd day) I know your earnings updates every 24hours. So far it says I have earned 0.48.
I was wondering how the earnings are exactly calculated? I have heard people say something like .01 per post. And others have said .02 per post. Then someone said the same for starting a topic. And someone else said starting a topic was worth more like .05cents. Then other people are saying it doesnt matter. It only matters if you get points and if people rate your post/topic as good or bad. I am getting different answers and would like someone to please clear it up for me. Thanks

I don't think any of us knpw exactly how our earnings are calculated, but alot of it has to do with the amount of activity you can do at the site. That is typing posts and responses. It also has to do with who chooses you for a best response also. I prefer to respond to others posts as my earnings seem to be more when I do so. I think it all depends on each others preferences.

I do not think that anyone knows for sure how it is calculated. I do not think that u get paid for starting a post though, only if people reply to it, the more replies, the more money.
I have no clue how they pay, i have been paid several times and I still havent figured it out *lol*

Hey, I have been a member of this site for almost three months and until now I do not know how this site pays their members. I mean, as far as I know, this site pays for the quality of your post. Well, when I started here, I used to earn about $0.70-$1.00 per day. I am very active and when I start a new discussion, I get a lot of responses. There, but today, I only get to participate for an hoour since schooling has already started and I have less time. The greatest amount I can earn now is $0.44. But, do not worry, you may do better than me. I haven't uploaded photos and also, those are from my discussions myself. I do not have active referrals and if you want to make you earnings bigger, you might as well invite your friends and other people to join this site. :)
Doesn't matter how much they pay per post. What's important is, they pay period. Just make sure you avoid posting one-liners and somehow, you try to make your responses and posts lengthy. :)
Good luck on your earnings.

no one knows exactly how mylot calculates our earnings. what mylot is telling us that if we post quality discussions and quality responses these may help boost our earnings, by how much, that we really don't know. the more you post topics for discussions and the more you respond to discussions the more you get points and earnings. uploading photos of your interests may help increase you earnings too.

I know you get 1 cent per post. I BELIEVE you get a little more for starting a topic, but I'm not sure how much, that may vary. I don't think that how your reply post is rated matters for payment, but topics may be different. It's all a little elusive, myLot hasn't spelled any of it out for us.

The thing is no one really knows what the pay per response. All I do know is the more you type in a resoinse the more you get. 1 line answers will only receieve I believe the minimum of a penny but I truly dont know how much we all earn.
What I do for shure is that mylot is an honest website and that they do actually pay you every moneth as long as you reach the minimum.

hi aleeming1..mylot is not revealed this secret to anybody.i think the earinings depends on the number of quality of our posts.if our posts are really good we can earn good money.and we can get more money if we are descriptive while posting than one liners and get good responses to our disscusions.while am new it was very hard to make money here after i get my star and started particpating actively my earnings increased.So be descriptive,active ,friendly and do quality posts.hope this helps.

You can also earn some cash by posting pictures in the discussions. But there is no set formula on how much you earn per post and what not. I've been here little over a week and I'm up to 66 cents.
