Understanding myLot Earnings

United States
December 24, 2007 9:58am CST
I must say that I am confused as to how money is made here on myLot. I have read all the, "do good posts with 3+ lines", posts, and other myLot money making posts. Yesterday I wasn't here at all and made six cents. The other day, I made five responses and made one cent. I just don't get it. Any thoughts, or comments?

Well, actually, there is no one on here who has begun to figure out how the earnings is gathered here. I know it does seem odd how it is figured for sure. But someone here did post that they could be behind some in keeping up with what we earn here, and sometimes it could be as to how others are Rating you here as well that could affect what we earn on here. I just know that even though the earnings here has gone way down from what it used to pay on here, I am still here, and enjoy this site, and the friends I have made on here, and hope you will continue to enjoy being here as well. Personally, I feel you can never go wrong in being an active member here in myLot.

You must take into consideration the time zone difference between you and myLot. Therefore, earnings are not updated according to your time zone but to myLot's and that is why you can't directly link the day you posted and the day that you earned. By the way, I have experimented with posting posts of up to 10 lines and I could see that I earn more per post. However, it is hard to tell how much it is. A rough example would be, if I replied to 10 discussions with an average 3 lines per reply, I would get about 10 cents but if I started long 10 discussions, I could get about 30 to 50 cents.

I don't believe myLot makes it easy to understand and think it's done on purpose. Why, I don't know. Do you have referrals? That could be the reason for earnings when you weren't here yesterday. This morning I checked my earnings and about an hour later it was adjusted and another cent was added. This might be due to someone giving me a plus rating or marked one of my responses as the "best response." It could also be that I added a photo last night and it wasn't credited until today. I've also had days where money has been removed from my earnings for no apparent reason. Since the members are not well advised of the earnings status, most of us don't have a valid answer. If you find out any details, please advise. Thanks and Merry Christmas, carolbee

Aiden, I'm as baffeled as you by this all. I know there are times when I have one line post for both discussion and response but for all in all I try to be as descriptive as possible to get a good post and get a good discussion going. Unfortunately they one day I made like .49 cents and then for almost the same amount of work made .15 cents I have no clue I'm just trying to do the best I can. If you find out how it works let me in on the secret please .. Thanks Aiden. Bella
