I'm not reaching payout this month but...

I've decided to set a goal for myself. Right now I have $7.05 and my goal is to get up to at least $8.00 by the April 15th. I think I might be able to do it, or I might earn even more. So who knows I might be able to reach payout for this month. I've heard some people that have earned $1 in a day and that would be so awesome to do. I'm thinking that If I earn at least $.25 each day from today until the fifteenth then I will have $10 or more. Does anybody else have a goal like this?

I don't really have a posting goal here at the moment. I'm a little more focused on gaining referrals, and how to encourage active participation. When I'm here posting, I try to just make it about having fun as much as possible and not worry too much about how much I am making. Not that I don't care about the money, but I just figure it will come (or won't) whether I want it really badly or not.

Yeah it's true. Sometimes I just forget about the earnings and just let loose and have fun. If the money comes then it comes if not then oh wells. Thanks for responding and keep having fun. ^_^

Always :-) Now if I could just convince more of my friends that this really is a lot of fun, I would be all set. I don't see why people are so sceptical of myLot, what do they have to lose?

Thanks and good luck on your goal too. I'm sure with perseverance you'll get to your goal. You just keep posting and don't give up soon you'll get over 500 posts and you won't even notice it. Good luck and thanks for responding.

I am at $7.35 and it's the last day of the month. I figure that if I sit here and MyLot all day, I'll reach my $10. I've done that before, and it's worked. I don't have anything else to do, so why not make a bit of money for the month?

Wow. All day? I wish I could do that but I have so much homework from my college classes to do that i will go out of my mind If I add a goal as big as that today. But good luck and let me know how that turns out. I might just respond every few twenty minutes or so to see what happens. But I don't think I'll be able to reach ten dollars today. For you it's possible but not for me. Thanks for responding.

Today I am home sick, so I will probably be on here all day. I wouldn't mind hitting $5 by the end of the day, but I think $4 or $4.50 is maybe a bit more realistic. But I'll just sit here and enjoy myself and see how it goes.

Yeah well I just back from studying for one of my classes now I'm going to respond to some discussions and then go back to studying. That's basically what I am going to do, If I make a lot to day then hurray for me if not then there is always tomorrow. But I don't think I'll make a dollar today, I think that the most that I could make today would be around $.40 or something like that.

Although you get paid about the 15th you have to have reached $10 by the end of the previous month. So if you are $7.05 now then it is goodbye to payday for you this month with only one day to go. However, $7.05 from 532 posts is pretty good going. I reckon on 800 posts to $10 is about right at the moment so you must have started some good discussions in the past. Well done.

Oh okay well then I guess I won't get paid. But it doesn't matter because I'll just keep on with my goal. $7.05 is pretty good I guess but I think that since the earnings system seems to have been upgraded or something If would have been more active in the beggining of march and wrote a lot then I would have earned more, but this amount is good enough for me. I think that I might acutally get to ten dollars with less than 800 posts. But who knows? Only time will tell. Thanks for responding.

Depending the amount of time you have daily you can easily average .50 cents a day. But the time April payout rolls around you should have exceeded $20.00 of earnings. Good way to jump start your post is to get in on the new discussions with the new members that has zero and 1 reponses. Follow up to your friends comments. Make one or two new discussions and follow up to those of course.

You know, don't worry if you think there dumb, I know I made a few dumb off the wall start discussions, then I've made some off the wall discussions that pretty good reponses too. Unfortunately my big hit discussion got deleted and I had like 70+ replies too, sigh

Thanks and yeah I think I should be able to exceed $20.00 If I don't get lazy or anything. I've been doing all the things that you said. But mostly I just respond to discussions. I know I should start a discussion or something but when I try I just don't know what to talk about, I just don't want to post something dumb and then have nobody respond or something. But from now on I'm just going to start discussions that pop up in my mind. Or throughout the day write down stuff I would like to talk about.

Kind of have a goal. I only have $8.10 and it's taken me forever to get that amount. I don't log on here every day but I'm trying to log on more often. Good luck to you!
• United States
1 Apr 08
Well it took you a long time but it's pretty good for the number of posts that you have done. $8.10 is pretty good for 243. I only have $7.48 and i've made around 500 posts. Good luck to you and may you keep on posting lots of times. ^_^

thats a good idea, of setting a target and trying to reach it. I think it would be better if you set a target for each day and try to reach the aforesaid target. wil help you increase your earnings...

My goal is reaching $10, by 15th next month. right now i have reach $8,61 but i don't know weather i can reach it or not. I just post everyday. As good as i can. I'll try my best for it.
• United States

I know that you will reach it. If you keep working hard on it then I believe that you can. All you need to do is start a discussion and respond to a few discussions and you'll reach the ten dollars. When you look at it you don't really much to go.

How do you know if you have posted enough in a day? I have been a slacking off, and my target was to get 10 dollars in 10 days. In a week, I was able to make 5$, but, right now, since I've been elsewhere posting, I'm stuck at $5.46

I don't have any clue how many time I've posted. I just try to go with the flow and post to whatever discussions interest me. Which is a lot these past few days. Recently I've started discussions and have earned quite a bit for them.

you will reached payout soonest possible if you increase you time spending here on posting comments and discussions. i made 800 more or less posted comments before i qualified for the payout. it is near to your numbers of post. keep it up, you can do it. my goal now is to earn more for the next payout on the 15th of may.
• United States
1 Apr 08
Yeah thanks for the confidence. I think when I'll reach the $10 I'll probably put the minimum to cashout up to $25 to give myself another challenge. Even If i don't reach the $25 for next payout I'll probably do a lot of work and have around $20 or something. Just wishful thinking but we'll see what happens. Good luck with your goal too.

Yes. Everybody who starts seeing cents on their profile pages would soon be going for targets. Setting targets help one to get new ideas also. GOOD LUCK!

• United States

Well then keep working hard on it because your going to reach it. Start a lot of discussions and when respond to discussions respond with at least three sentences or even more and you'll see that your earnings will go up a lot.

Well,you know,I just have $0.12 though I've been here for not a long time,but $1 a day is a miracle!I don't care about what I earn a day,just enjoy myself here! But I still wish you get your goal soon later!

Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for responding and welcome to mylot. You'll find that you'll have a lot of fun here. And yeah your right being on mylot is fun and I enjoy it but then when the going gets tough I have to get more active and see If I reach payout.

Well, that should be an easy goal to reach unless you only post to maybe 1-5 discussions a day. By the 15th of April you could be at $10 so you could cash out in April if you really work at it. I know I earned over $10 just this month alone as did many others on here. Starting tomorrow, it is a NEW month... You earn money only for April which is added to your other earnings if you have not reached payout yet.
• United States
31 Mar 08
Yeah I know I think I would have cashed out a long time ago but back then I wasn't really into the site too much and I was so swamped with all my college homework and stuff. But now I am participating more with every few extra minutes that I have. If you guys can earn $10 a month or even more than I am sure that I will be able to earn and keep earning every month. I just understood that stuff about the money I earned getting carried over to the next month. I guess I kind of forgot about that.

i hope you can very well reach the goal. now there are income booseters in mylot as well. so you will not find it hard to reach it. post atleast 15-20 each day and very well reach payout in april.

Thanks for responding. I try to post as much as I can in one day whenever I have the time. Sometimes it's hard becasue I have so much stuff to do.

You know, I think it's a great idea to set a few goals here. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how much I make each day. What does it take to make $1 a day though? I head someone had to post like 68 discussion. Yikes, don't think I can do that. I could have read the disccusion wrong. Anyway, goals are good.
• United States
1 Apr 08
68 discussions? That's a lot. But I don't think it has to be that much. I had a day where I was just responding and I earned $.32. So If I were to start at least three to five discussions and participated in more discussions then I guess I would have the one dollar. But 68 seems like a lot. Yeah it is good to make goals on this site. It gives you more motivation to keep doing this.

Yeah... all you need to do to reach your goal, just always log in here, post discussions and responses... i think you can do it. I always post discussion everyday and i found my earning is higher than response... but a best response also rewarded. I'm still struggle for my first earning since few weeks ago i started to active here... i'm not yet reach my goal yet... but my earning is higher than 10bucks. For me its a good start since i just active last few weeks.
• United States
1 Apr 08
I'm in the same boat as you but I mostly like to respond to other people's discussions and I find that I earn okay. But I just started being active two weeks ago. Now that I'm starting discussions I've been earning more than I though I would.

Yes I do set goals like you Ayumi. I have set goals in nummber of post at start but then like you I didnt make my first payout this month. I was $1.77 short but its ok and will just do well next month. It was great to know that I have increased my daily earnings from $0.33 to $1.03! Now that is a good encouragement for me. Keep it up also.
• United States
1 Apr 08
That is good increase. In around three hours I'm going to find out how much I earned yesterday and see how good I did. When you see your earnings increasing that much it makes you want to do this even more because it gives you a drive.

I personally have been one of the people that have made $1 or more a day, in fact I thought my highest was $1.22, but on checking back, my earnings increased on that day to #1.30. I've also had 2 other days that were over a dollar, and all the others were below, but close. I've made the payout for the month of March, and am hoping to double it in April. I'm more than possitive that you could reach the payout for April, you just have to work hard, and not think about the pay. Just have fun here on the site, and before you know it, your cash will be rolling in! Good luck, and hope you can reach April's payout.
• United States
31 Mar 08
Thanks. I know i'm going to cashout April's payout because I am going to work hard on it. Now that I am getting really active I am positive that i will earn even more than my goal. If I work hard enough I know that I'll probably cashout at more than $10 for April's payout. With all the responses I've done today and with this discussion we'll see how much I earn tomorrow. Thanks for responding.
