i was getting worried when i wasn't seeing anything even after posting quite a number of posts. and in my own opinion, i thought i was posting to discussions that i had some knowledge about. so was quite worried over what was wrong. but it finally got updated a while ago i noticed and saw that 14 cents was my earning. not much i know but definitely i was happy. hope everything goes well for the rest of you guys too. i do write on hubpages and helium too but those are like articles. so i can't really write any way i want. thus my lot is really easy for me to post my opinions. since money isn't really my priority, it's great to know that i can earn a little doing something that i like and can share with others.

If discussions is your prority then you are just at the right site and surely one gets to earn here too. If you are concerned at a low earnings then i would just say that please take care that you dont go for one line answers.Make it a bit longer but surely relevant and payout should be better.

You will learn a lot here . For my tips to you , starting your own discussion will add a little more to your earnings and if you upload a picture along with that discussion , it will also help . Participation is the key here , the more you participate the more you enjoy and eventually you will earn some money by doing so . Good luck !

i'll definitely take your advice. yes, discussions are my priority as well as learning new things from the discussions as well as responses. also, i like to share things with others. of course, earning while doing something that i like is even better and it really gives me a sense of satisfaction when i see myself earning something online since i'm just a newbie to internet you could say. really thanks for your advice and comments. appreciate it.

exactly rony. that's basically why most of us are here except for the few who's just here to try and earn something. congrats on getting 2 cents. it's good if you just go for topics and discussions that you know about as most would advise you. also, write longer and quality posts. they say tht you have to write at least 4-5 sentences long. and you can only write that long if it's something you like to talk about. if you have any questions, post them as discussions. people here will definitely help you out. best of luck.

Well you sure ended up in a good site, mylot is one haven for writers and bloggers. Most of the topics they want to write on these sites are well-taken here, especially those members from Helium. You'll surely enjoy here, since it's really fun to interact and meet other people from different countries!;)

i'm definitely enjoying myself here. it's a pity that i didn't know of it sooner. i had heard of it but had no idea in detail that it was actually like this; if you know what i mean. grins. yes it's great to meet people from other countries. in fact, i'm not sure where this lady is from, ehehehe but on a particular discussion, both of us found out that our second child was due on consecutive days! she was a day earlier than me. it was fun knowing that. anyway thanks for your comments. it really boosts my morale up.

Hello there, you are very well done! Being a newbie, it takes time to get familiar with the design of the site and the usage of the facilities. So hope you get use to it soon. In the mean time have some fun while sharing the views in Mylot.

hi thanks so much for your compliment. you're right. it took me some time to get familiar here especially the editing my profile page. i was so confused. fortunately, one helpful person responded and helped me out and now as you can see, though it's plain, i have managed to put my banner links there. grins. and yes, i am having tons of fun sharing the views here. hope you are too.

Yeah I have $1.49 after three months here. Do this for fun and don't think about it for the money. There are better sites to make money so I just hang around myLot for fun. It's not bad.

Yes you are on your way. I wish some of my referrals had your attitude. I have 34 referrals and one posted 5 and one 3 and one 1 post ant no more, ever. the others never even did one post so why did they become members, I don't know. If you want to make more moeny some tips I have for you are to keep the discussions coming since they pay more if you get a lot of responses on it. A;lso when you are responding keep your posts at least 4 or 5 sentences long. Mylot doesn't like the short ones and don't pay you as much for them. Yesterday I posted 12 discussions and 94 responses and I made a record breaking day for me, $1.88.

thanks i'm typing this again since my com had some problem so not sure if my post earlier has been posted. anyway am really flattered by your words. grins 34 referrals is really a lot. i'll definitely take note of your tips. my only problem is i'm a poor conversationist, just like to share things that's all. so when i do post discussions, there's not much response. heehee regarding the length of the posts, i don't think there's going to be much problems since i only post on those that i know about and am interested in which is not much actually. i just browse through others' discussions. 12 discussions and 94 responses is really a lot in a day. congrats on your earning. i'm really happy for you. thanks for your comments.

Welcome to mylot! It's not much, but atleast they pay something for our "valuable" time. Myspace doesn't pay. I gotta think of it like that i guess. Good luck!

thanks so much. i agree they pay something for our time. grins even if it's not much but it's at something at least. i don't have myspace so i have no idea on that but i do know other sites like hi5, facebook and others don't pay. good luck to you too and thanks so much for responding.
