im confused about making money?

You make money everytime you start a new discussion, more if many people respond to it, and also you make money when you respond to others discussions. So, generally, everytime you write something, you could earn some money.

Hi Six, welcome to Mylot. The easiest way to see those pennies come in is to do just what you are doing now. Write a few new discussions, reply to people who respond to you and respond to others discussions that pique your interest. More detail seems to mean greater response from the payment algorithym, but that is just a guess! Thats about it really, you won't earn millions from it but it is nice to see the pennies drip into your account. Hope to see more of you on here, all the best J.
