Tips for newbies! Anyone new to My Lot?

Hi everyone! Just back from my ever so brief vacation and I'm seeing many more new faces. I wanted to share a couple ideas that I had to help anyone who might be brand new and searching for answers. During my time here, I've earned a lot of money and a little bit of money. My best day was $3.87. My worst was five cents. It all depends on how much effort and brain power you put into posting on My Lot. So, here goes: 1. Read the My Lot posting guidelines and any rules! These are your guides and there to help you. And, as they say, if you have a question, don't be afraid to ask someone that works on My Lot. They will have the real answers for you. 2. Earnings: I am not going to pretend for a minute that I could actually figure out their earnings or compensation plan. It's a mystery to me. When I first started posting on My Lot they paid more for posting discussions that drew a great response. Some days I got five cents or more per discussion. I think that amount has gone down since. You won't get paid as much for posting a response. But, posting responses is easier than actually coming up with new discussions. 3. Provide lengthy responses to discussions and you'll get paid better. Strive for good quality content and actually contribute to the discussion, rather than making up things as you go along. No one liners! Says so in the rules. And, you don't get paid for them, either. A high quality response might pay five to ten cents. While a more brief response would pay one to two cents. Try to write 2 or 3 quality paragraphs each time, and you'll see your earnings go up. Don't post to a discussion if you don't have an answer! That doesn't pay too well, either. Even if you don't have an answer, try to offer some advice or support from your own personal experience that might relate to the problem or issue. It's the effort that counts. You may still get paid for that. 4. Avoid controversial topics or spam style questions, as these most often get deleted anyway, along with any earnings you gained from posting to them. And, don't get wrapped up in office politics on My Lot. Everyone has a different opinion. And, telling them why their opinion is wrong will only earn you enemies. 5. Use the spell checker everytime you post! The day I stopped using the spell checker, my earnings took a nose dive. 6. Make friends everywhere! Your My Lot friends want to hear from you and will search out your discussions. Without friends, very few people will respond to your discussions on a regular basis. And, your My Lot friends will come to your defense if someone from the outside is rude or mean to you. 7. Post like crazy until you hit 500! When you hit the 500 mark, you can copy/paste and that will save you so much time. 8. Track your earnings. On some days, you should only post replies. And, then others, post just discussions and no replies. Keep track of how many you post for each day. Then compare your earnings for each day. This will give you a better understanding of what pays and what doesn't. 9. Don't feel compelled to babysit your own discussions. Once you start a discussion, let it be and you'll get more responses. And, subsequently more money from My Lot. Drop by occasionally and update discussions. Say hello to your friends. Thank one or two people for their advice. And, then move on. Don't overdo it! P.S. You don't get paid when you post to your own discussions, so why spend all day doing it? Just a few tips for newbies! If you have been here at My Lot for awhile and would like to post your own tips, please feel free to do so.
