I signed up yesterday and think I am getting my head around it all, but if anyone has any tips or advice about getting the most out of the site I would really appreciate your input!

Welcome to mylot. My only advice is to participate in some dicussions or topics that interest you most and I am pretty sure you will be rewarded with the inputs you've shared here.
Other than that, add some friends so that they will be able to send some messages to you if ever you have problems or concerns. Happy posting! :-)

Yes thank you, I am learning to only participate in topics that I can respond well too as otherwise my responses are too short. Thank you for you advice and Happy New Year to you!!

I'll probably give you a more unconventional response than most but heed my advice and you'll get the most out of mylot.
First, don't look at Mylot as a way to earn extra money. I could work at McDonald's for one hour and make more than I could in a whole week of typing at Mylot.
Look at mylot as a way to discuss with a WIDE VARIETY of people from all different backgrounds about things that interest you, things you'd like to know more about, things you know about and can help others with.
If you approach mylot as a community of people that you can form relationships with and benefit one another you're going to get a lot more out of it than you anticipated.
I have formulated some phenomenal online business partnerships from meeting people with similar interests to me on Mylot, but the key is that I don't see them as a means to an end, but as someone who I can offer something of value to in turn for something of value from them, typically knowledge about something.
I hope this helps.

Oh yeah, I'm not expecting to make my millions on here, the money is just a bonus. I spend a lot of time discussing things online anyway and am looking at this as a new platform to do so. Any money I earn from it will just be a nice little plus. Thanks for your input, Happy New Year!
