Is this real??

Yes, you can earn money on this site. not very much and not for free. You have to create and respond quite a few discussions to get to the $10 lower payment limit. I got about $50 in 11 months here on Mylot, but I haven't participated all the time (I couldn't login during vacation and some holiday).

Yup I wasn't sure either but I got my first payment wednesday. It took me a while cause I wasn't very active. A couple months. Some pointers are to post discussions and make comments on what people wrote in your discussions. Also when you post a response try to make it at least 4 lines long to get credited. Avoid topics that break forum rules because they will eventually be closed and you will lose credit from them. Example would be a joke discussion for some reason is not allowed. Also very negative name calling ones will get deleted so don't bother posting in those. Rate peoples discussions and responses. People will rate you too and once you are at 100 you will see your score. I think it is good to have a high number but not sure. Hope this helps you to earn faster but yes the site pays, the more active you are the faster you will reach payout. Good Luck!
