How long have you been at mylot? I've been here around a month. I'm at 210 posts at the time of this writing. Some people have over a thousand posts, some many thousand. So I thought, "Wow, how long have people been here?" Those of you who just started, what do you think about mylot? Those of you who have been here a long time, what keeps you going, what changes have you seen, and what changes would you like to see?

I have been here for seven months. So far I have had 2915 posts and responses, mostly the latter. It has changed since first started. When I finally got time to spend more than an hour a day and write a few posts, I was making a bit more than I do now. I also notice that there is someone who deletes good posts and consequently everyone who replies to them gets lowered points. My star has gone from a nine to a seven because of that. I do not know because, except for the recipe posts, none of them were offensive or against myLot's guidelines. I gather there is someone who is taking revenge or does not want any other opinion except of his or her own. I love to write and I love the money, even though it is not that much. I would like to have us to be able to delete our old non response posts, especially if the question has been answered elsewhere. I would also like when myLot deletes a post, that they give the one whose post was deleted a chance to defend themselves, if the post was deleted unfairly.

I've only been here a short amount of time, but I agree with that. I have some posts with 0 responses and they seem to stay around. Not sure about the opinion stuff. I know that someone didn't like something I said or I wouldn't have had an 8 when I hit 100, but who knows when and where I got it. A Maine _ _ _ _ cat, do you know you can't use the 4-letter word for that type of cat? Violation of whatever rule. I wrote to mylot to explain that I wasn't calling someone a 4-letter word, but describing a type of cat. Sometimes they over-sensor. I've seen some mean and hateful things here, too. So sometimes I think they under sensor, I don't like someone being harassed. 7 months and 2915 posts. That's a lot of posts. I was thinking you were here for years! Smile Thank you for responding, this was very good and interesting.

I think I have been here for 5 months. At the beginning I was like you and wondered why others could have so many posts. But now I also have many posts here:) Since I found here is very interesting, so I am addicted in Mylot.

OK, maybe in a few months I'll be saying, "A few thousand posts, normal." But right now it just seems amazing. Take care

Very healthy, I'd say. My hand would give out. My wrist, I wouldn't be able to use it for a week. Remember that mylot likes at least 4 sentenses/questions per response/question entry. You either won't get paid or get very little pay for very short responses. Take care and good luck, puput.

I have being here over 7 months, and I must say I still enjoy it as much as the day I started. I look forward daily to read the discussions here. It has grown tremendously in the past several months.

There seem to be a lot of people who started 7 months ago and a lot who started 3 and 4 months ago. I had one person who responded so far that said 9. I like all the time-period responses. Esp. very new and now I'm also hoping for over 9 months, too. Looking forward daily to the discussions must be your motivation to stay. Thank you for your response.

I have been with mylot since the begining of the year to try to make some extra money. Well I do not keep track of my posts but I have only made 2.95, not what I thought it was going to be. I think than when I type, I type a lot. But I guess not enought to make a good buck. So I still try and try. But I like to read what everyone else likes to talk about...so maybe that is my problem LOL. This is not bad to meet people, and I keep on going and going....

Sounds like you're writing at least 4 sentenses/questions each time. Are you tagging your articles with at least 3 key words so they can put the appropriate advertizers with your writing? Have you started any discussions? Has anyone picked you for best response? At first I didn't make much money, but I kept reading the topics for making money on mylot and I started doing better. I'm a little over 1/2 way to payout. So I've learned a lot. I wasn't making much either. Study-up a little bit and you'll be amazed how much better you do.

3 months ago my 755 post. Sometimes i post alot but there are times like usually 2 days that i don't log in at mylot. Its usually the weekends when i have to rest or go out. Reaching 500 post is benefitial since we can use copy paste. =)

Congratulations on 3/4 of the way to 1,000 posts. I've decided I need to take a couple of days off a week too, but this past weekend shouldn't have been it. I had 3 pages of posts to respond to when I came back. But I had to, I was in an accident. But I'm doing better.

Sometimes I read discussions, too. Sometimes I will read a question and think, "I don't know the answer to that either." But I think it's a good question and I look at the answers. We all have different interests and movitations. If I do read and don't respond, I make sure I check-off a plus because that person did help me.

Its just a few days I am into Mylot. Moneywise I dont think this is a good site to make money. But On the other hand it is fun because u get to read so many interesting things. Thats what is keeping me going. The only change i wish was would be better if for every post we earn a dollar.

I have been here for the last 6 months, three of these months were very active months that saw me post over 1260 posts and reached a a pay out of $25. Am yet to receive my earnings but when I finally do so, I will know this is one area where you literally entertained by friends all over the world, and for every response you make to any discussion, you are actually paid!

I have been a mylotter for more than 3 months. and I have only 420 posts. When I am free or when I want to relax myselt, I will be here. Be on mylot, you can find many interesting discussions, also earning some extra money. If you are from non-english speaking countries, you can practice your english.

I'm not sure what you mean by so slow when they read. See #15 for advice that I've written (if you want advice). Hope to hear from you often, take care.

I started just a fortnight back. It was my friend who is a mylottian recommended me too to do this. She told me her experience saying that it was fun and has added advantage of making money. I thought i too must try and here i am. Lets see how far I continue and how long i find it interesting. Wish me Luck. Best of luck to you too. Keep mylotting.
