I don't get paid anymore?

No payments? - Oddity. I didn't get paid at all for four good discussions!

I wrote 4 good responses yesterday, and I didn't get paid a dime. It's like, yeah, I haven't been here in a few weeks, but why would it be that my mylot earnings are not going up, at all? I've been writing in different sections, giving good information, being rated well, and rating others well. The only thing I haven't really done is made any discussions or uploaded any pictures, but now I've done both. What am I supposed to do???

All I can say is check and see if the discussions you responded to are still there. If they were deleted then you won't get credit for them. I only earned .01c yesterday and I am here every day. Good luck!

Why would they get deleted? Who deletes them?

Nah, none of them are going to be deleted. You may have 4000 posts, but I also generally do not typ eanything less than a few sentences, usually nothing less than a few lines. I'm working on being active, and now looking back at the earnings, I think it's been at least partially applied, I got another 9 cents. Who knows though, maybe it's just really, really delayed. Thanks though for your ideas, I'll look in to them a little further.

I've been here at least six months and I've barely made four bucks. This is especially looking to be a problem since filling up a tank of gas is heading upwards of thirty bucks a pop, my car payments are well into hundreds a month, school textbooks are as overpriced as the professors' egos are overinflated, and nobody's seriously responded to the constant stream of applications I've sent out for over a year now.

Have you tried Amazon or eBay for your books? I hated that part when I was in college. One book alone ran me $650. I bought it off eBay for about $50. Then I sold that book back to the college for $65 and made $15 off of that book. Amazon.com has a lot of text books as well. I sold a few of mine that the college wouldn't buy back on Amazon and made about 1/3 of what I paid for it. College books are a joke and considering what you pay for them vs what the college is willing to buy them back for? It should be considered price gouging and it is illegal to price gouging when no other alternative is available.

Although you can't make a living here, it can take up a lot of your time, and in turn can be not worth it. You could be working on other things instead of posting for pennies a minute, lol. I am working on a webpage. Once I get it online, I think I'd be able to move a little ways away from here, and more on to my website instead.

It seems I have the same problem. Yesterday I got three best responses, however, my earning is few cents. I wonder why.

There may have been a delay in posting. I saw those replies and they are good (good content, on subject, helpful). That should be counting. Hopefully it comes up.

You don't get paid for starting discussions for one thing. You also will not get paid for responding within a discussion you made. So if you respond to everyone here in this discussion, you won't get paid. You only get paid one penny when you upload photos. You can upload 1 or 100 photos and all you'll get is one penny. Save your time and just upload one per day. More than that and it's not worth it. It's all I do. I just upload one per day. You also won't get paid for rating others nor will you get paid for others rating you. However, that being said, your earnings do go up the higher you are ranked, so it does help you and others to rate each other. I always rate everyone + no matter what, unless they are just being downright rude or attacking other posters.

Which is why I ranked you up as well, because what you said was actually useful to the post. But yes. The picture I posted showed that the discussions were not started by me, and that I had also said I replied to said discussions. It's all good though, I didn't expect you to actually look at the picture ^_^. Thanks for your input though. I do upload one or two pictures a day. I'm really not focusing too much on looking for money, I'm just finding a semi-pasttime to contribute some of my time to.

Hopefully, when they update the pay again, you will see a difference on here. I know that they do not always update like they used too, and sometimes the pay does not always post right away either. Someone else here on another discussion said that this site has a tendency to do this on the weekend, but if in a couple of days you do not see a difference, and people are responding to your discussions, and you are responding back to theirs, I would question this, as their could always be a Glitch in this site as well. Wishing you the best, and Glad to see you posting on here again.

Thanks for your support. A very nice person you are! =] I did come back a few days later, and the pay was added to to my account. Although it isn't a whole lot, it's better than nothing. I think that I need to help expand content on this website. The more people that expand the content, the more money they make, the more money we make. It MAKES everyone happy :D

Mylot has a one day delay on all earnings! does that help, at all? if you check on your earnings page, you will find the earnings are counted a day late but the date you recieved the earnings is correct, i dont know if that is hard to understand but your money should be there tomorrow and todays earnings the next day.

I understand the delay process, I think it just took an extra day or something. For one reason or another, I guess I didn't get paid until 2 days out.

there's a cut off time everyday, maybe you did not meet the cut off time. i'm sure you'll be paid the next day.

Yes, it seems like my earnings were not quite what I thought I had posted from yesterday also. I thought this was happening before, so I started counting the comments/responses. But then it didn't seem to be happening anymore so I quit keeping track of it.

That would be funny if you could actually still make a living on this website. I'd love to have like, 10,000 referrals or something cool like that :P

Did you only write 4 responses total? Maybe thats not enough to get paid enough im not sure. And i know someone else already mentioned this but if the discussions are deleted then you wont be paid for them. If you write about 30 responses you can probably make .20-.30 depending on the length of the conversations. If you still dont get paid you should really contact admin.
