I joined mylot a week ago.....
First two days, I responded to around 25 discussions and got around $0.30.......
Then I responded to around 30 discussions and got around $0.30........
But after that I responded to around 45 discussions and got only $0.40........
Can anybody tell me why did it happend to me? Do they pay more in begining and less afterwards?
Did this also happend to you???

I have found that maybe it takes a few days sometimes for things to even out, I have done many discussions on some days and didn't get a lot of earnings and then maybe the next day I hardly do any and I get a lot more earnings so I think it depends on a few things, I believe the Mylot system is a very complex thing so I just trust Mylot and it seems to even out in the end...

We are "price takers", my friend... I suggest you don't worry too much about how much you are paid for how much you do.
Since we have no choice but the accept the amount they pay us, well, we have no choice.
Just suck thumb and stick around or find other alternatives. :P

i m not sure about myLot payment system. the only that i know when you gave good and quality response although in little number you would earn better than you giving lots of replying with ungood and un quality response in many numbers. thats already myLot saying in their terms to reply in good and quality response. in your case, when you posting more replying, do you think you already giving in the same quality as like your previous reply or just giving little comment in order to get many posting in replying?

Hello mukul. I think that it could be the possibility that five of the responses were too short like two lines that you didn't get that many earning as you expected. It is better to have always four lines while you are responding to a discussion to make more earnings. By the way, it is not like mylot pays less afterwards. It is the same to every mylotter, dear friend. Happy mylotting, friend.

Hi,
The earnings on the discussions are based on the quality, the length and upto the the subject. That's what I think. Then we really can't tell how much each post earns.

This has happened to me. And some days, I don't make very many posts, and I earn more than days on which I make a lot of posts. I've stopped trying to figure it out.

I think it depends from how many words you used for your posts. If you write more interesting things you can earn for more. I don't believe that Mylot is decreasing his earnings, if you have doubts I suggest to write to the webmaster.

I am here in mylot for say 11 months now.
I still am not able to understand the things taht happen here.
My earnings are also like this most of the times.
For more discussion is less or for less its more than previous.
I think depending on few parameters they decide this.

yeah that happens. the algorithym that mylot uses to calculate our earnings is a secret lol. they wont give you a hard and fast explaination.
ive had days where ive repsonded to 20 discussions and made a wopping 5 cents.
then ive had days where ive responded to 5 discussions and made almost 10cents...
it is LARGELY based on the quality of you posts. posting a lot of 2 or 3 liners will not earn you nearly as much as posting half that number but with at least a paragraph in length.
nobody knows for sure how much we earn per post or for that matter what the average per post works out to as far as i know...but i can definatly say its quality thats the most important.

I agree, I got only 7 cents for yesterday and I responded to a bunch of posts in length. Some people say it depends on quality but I'm not too sure about that. They can't check that many posts for quality. Thats a lot of posts and they would have to have real people to do that. I try and make my responses longer but I haven't noticed a difference.

Mukul,
you know what, I recently notice that some my earnings are gone.
What's happening here?
I've already earned 19 cents, then when I check it out just now, I found out that my earnings, suddenly dropped to 14 cents.
I think there's a bug in their system.

I think you must be having some other problem than mine because they never took my earnings back, they only paid me less!
you must cantact to the webmaster.....

I think myLot will calculate the good posts only. Or the system will update your earning later. They will not ignore your qualifying posts based on the term.
