Have you tested to see how much you would get paid for 1 discussion?

Yesterday I wrote one discussion only, no responses or comments as I was very busy with my new baby. I checked my earnings and I noticed that I got paid 6 cents for that one discussion. I am very pleased with these earnings, I wish I knew how I earnt 6 cents for that post so I could do the same for every post. I did notice though that the one discussion I wrote had 18 responses, maybe that had something to do with it?? How about you, have you tested how much you get paid for just one discussion or response?

Well, I think there is no way to ever know how much you will earn from starting New discussions, and such. I think that is the interesting part of this. But if you earned 6 cents, wouldn't you want to do more than one Discussion if you wanted to earn more on here? For me, I start a New discussion when I can, but for the most part, I spend time when I can going around answering posts such as this so that I can eventually reach payout. But isn't it Fun to try and see how much you can earn from what?

Hi, can I ask you something, and I don't mean to sound dumb here but what the heck is a "bub" You keep saying you have new bubs and I have no idea what you are talking about. Would you mind explaining. Thanks.

You really can't go by that unless you really only did 1 post from 1am EST until 1am the following day. Even so there are so many factors involved, I have done 1 post a day and made .20, and also .01 LOL I think you are better tracking what you make per day for a week and the trying to figure it out.

Yes I know, just thought it would be a fun discussion to see what others have earnt from 1 discussion. I know it is way better to track weekly earnings. I know that it was for one post that I eant for that as previously I was not on here till a few days ago. Thanks for your comments, happy posting. :))

It's a been a very long time since I started my last discussion. Some of my discussions were covered with dust and full of cobwebs now LoL. Just kidding. I can still remember, by creating discussions 1 year ago didn't give any earning at all. But if there are many people responding to it, then yes, we will get earning. The earning will get doubled if we respond all the comments being given by other respondants, but not with one liner or short comments. If you earn 6 cents for just starting a discussion, to me, it's great! It could possibly that Mylot had changed their earning computation formula from time to time.

Wow a year since your last discussion, that is a long time. You will have to dust the cobwebs off and start some more discussions, lol. It is good to know that we get more earnings if our discussions are popular. I often wonder what makes people respond more to some discussions then others?? MMMMmmm maybe next discussion topic. Thanks for your response, look forward to reading your next discussion.:)

Haven't figured it out yet. It sounds like it's bigger earnings for more responses? Which goes to show that a good discussion who attracts more participants will be paid more. It's worth the making indeed. I can't figure out how earnings are computed, I was inactive for more than 4 months and lately, I made about 100 posts plus 6 discussions and I got $1.33. I tried not to post for a day to know how much did I earn and was amazed with the result. It's fun because writing skills are hastened and it's a big thing to thank mylot for . The earnings comes as a bonus. The formula will always be, the effort coincides with the results. Enjoy everyone!

Hi aconities, thanks for your response. I thought most posts were paid about 2 cents recently that is why I was shocked to see I got paid 6 cents. 7 lines is a good response, shame you did not receive more. :))

well, honestly i never really tested how much mylot pays me for every discussion or response that i make here... but recently, i notice that mylot has increased its earnings again and i am quite happy with it... for a period of time, they really pay very low... but it is now back up to normal again i guess... so i am not complaining... good on you for earning 6 cents just for 1 discussion and congratulations on your new baby as well... enjoy your time here...

yeah I think the more replies you get the more money you make on a thread. I just try to post a lot everyday. If I post a lot, I know I will make a lot more on this site. I just wish this site moved faster.. and had way more traffic.

I have not tried it but i know that there are different ways you can earn more and more, one is by getting responces to your discussions =] thats prob why you got that much, I still think that you gat paid more for lengthy responces to other discussions and by putting 5 or so good tags on the end of each responce, thats how i have earned most money in a day.

Hi Chris, was not sure if the amt of responses to a discussion meant more earnings, but I am starting to think it does. Thanks for the advice about tags, did not think that would help earnings, I will keep that in mind next time I write another discussion. Have a gret day and thanks for your response.

Thanks polly. Usually in my discussions I try and write a paragraph (about 6-8 lines long). I also write discussions that mostly I am interested in. I start off by asking a question, then I write my experience with the topic, then I ask a couple more questions at the end of the paragraph on other peoples views on this issue. If I ever have a mind blank about what to write in discussions sometimes I look in magazines, that might trigger ideas. You can write about anything. The more passionate you are about a topic the easier it is to write quality discussions. :))

Hi.. Just signed up last night and made one discussion and respond to some yet my earnings is still 0.

hi, welcome to mylot you will like it here. Your earnings are updated every 24 hours. In the second box under your picture you will see mylot earnings. Underneath that in grey it says earnings updated _____ hours ago. Which you won't have yet, but after your first earnings are updated you will see how long it is till your earnings were updated. SO you should receive your first earnings soon, if you are still unsure about anything add me to your friends list and I can help you. :))

i a not able to do that caused if i am doing that it means that i only posting a topic discussion and missing my opportunity to response another topic discussion which is i can't passed it by :P well, some times, i might do that when i felt there is no intersting topic discussion to response, LOL :P

i have basically noticed that not everyday, we get the same rate. it must have been due to the amount they have earned too and divide it among members. like think i posted and naswered more yesterday but i earned more the other day.

I have never done this myself, I am glad to read of your test. I wonder too is the + - rate that we can give a discussion has anything to do with it? I have been posting quite a bit in the last few days and my earnings have not gone up by much. I only have 2 referrals, and so here I am at an earnings of 62 cents,...not even enough for a Timm's coffee, :( maybe enough for a "bit" but they don't dell them one by one! hahaha

am not sure how mylot works with earnings but know sometimes i get more than other days and that is just by responding to dicussions-the past few days i have earned 20cents but that is just by responding-though i have had responses for my discussions too-am not sure that if you respond to a discussion then get a reply if you et paid or not-littleowl
