i just log in to my mylot and i am really surprise to see my earning for yesterday $1.11, that is really cool!
that's the highest i ever got and i have been here for a month and not really that religious on this site.
not sure how that works coz i think i only posted like 10 or more but i am very sure that it is not more than 15 post coz i am very busy yesterday and not feeling well at the same time, i think the pollen is getting on me, not sure if i am allergic on it but my body seems to react differently since yesterday.
anyway, what's your highest earning for a day and how many post does it take for you to earn that?
i still dont know how this thing works.
i didnt put no photo yesterday and just pure text post so that is really intriguing on my part.
love to hear your story bout your mylot.
takecare

Welcome to mylot. You have chosen the right place to learn English. Also you can make a habit of reading books of your interest. Being in an environment full of people from many nationalities is like globe trotting from your desktop. Your earnings seem to be a geometric progression. Don't know where it will end.

ni hao thubert1!
thanks for being here.
i hope you found what you are looking for out here.
mylot is a great place to lear english and practice the grammar (just watch out for those who makes mistakes on their spelling and grammar)
just remember that writing and speaking is two different thing BUT it will surely helps you learn no matter what you do.
i live in china for 5 years (shanghai, beijing and hefei) and i have to say that i struggle learning mandarin also. i find it funny coz when i was in shanghai people there teach me shanghainese and when i used those i learned when i live in beijing they just laugh at me coz they say it is not mandarin at all haha!
my sister study mandarin for 2 years and she is very good at it. reading, writing and speaking - im jealous. oh well i have learned a few that will help me get by when i was there hehe.
one of the best way to learn english in my opinion is to watch english movies while you are doing some reading too.
i guess i just learn better when i am hearing it that reading or writing it.
regarding your mylot earnings..
dont worry about it., most of the members here got that kind of earning in their first few days out here. some even takes weeks and months but they get there anyway.
just keep the fun and post with something that you really know.
find discussion that interest you the most.
that will help you increase your earnings coz you can post better than those whom you dont know what they are talking about.
wish you all the best!
jia yo!

hello checapricorn,
i was registered last february but didnt get active till 2 weeks ago but only get a chance to fully post the 1st week coz i was busy last week due to family responsibilities that's why my post number is only 102 (i think) but you're doing great for posting that much 318, wow! i still have lots of weeks to go, haha!
did you mean you got $3.76 for 306 post?
yes, i have heard that the longer the lines the better it is, but i was also told that it depends on the essence of your writings, i still dont know how this works coz i am fairly new and not that active (my post number shows that haha)
not sure if my lengthy post helps but i will keep it that way not because it is needed it's because how i answered.
takecare and appreciate your response!

I once earned $2.50 a day. Please note that it is "a day" and not "per day". What I have earned, inclusive of my account balance upto date does not exceed even $60. It may be over 2 years since I joined. But I have not been active some time.
How I earned the $2.50 is like this: First I take an easy topic. Lets take something like scam. Then I write a descriptive explanation about this topic in a Word document. After that I do a search in the mylot discussion for this topic. Then I pick up a discussion and see the relevance of what I wrote as a response to that discussion. Then I copy paste what I wrote and do some editing so that it will fit the requirement of the person who started the discussion.
There are also very common discussion. For instance I have seen the discussion "Who is the bigger terrorist, Bush or Osama" appearing over twenty five times. So the response to them is the same with a small twist. There is nothing wrong in copy pasting as it is the same response you have to give to the same discussion.
I have also noted that when you keep responding to one persons discussions, you sort of get used to the person and responding becomes as easy as having a chit chat. The writing flows as you get the urge to keep the conversation going. On the other hand each person has a pattern in doing things. So when you get used to the pattern of discussion of one person it is very easy and some times a real thrill to respond. This is how I made responding fun for me.
Try this and you might make $10 per day.

I am not very active in mylot these days. As you can see I have a rating over 2400 next to my name. But that was in the days I joined. Anyway I came back after a long time and respond only 5% as much as I do on the days I joined. Though I don't do much posting these days I really enjoy your discussions and postings. I think you are a Asian who has embraced the American culture. This makes you sort of unique.

Hi Jaigirl, you are right. It is not 2400. Right now it is 2394. I thought that by the time you saw my response I would have reached 2400 but you were quicker than I thought. Anyway I gave a round figure because I cannot see the number while responding to a discussion.

namaste!
it seems like a lot of members out here are busy lately and dont spend much time out here.
i am happy that you still find sometime to be out here during the time that you free.
btw, i wonder what you mean by:
As you can see I have a rating over 2400 next to my name.
i look at your name trice just to understand it but didnt see anything that will lead me to the 2400 rating.
the only thing that i see close to that number is your post number which is 2394, other than that everything is high.
hope you dont mind explaining it to me, im still a newbie i guess when it comes to rating stuff as i dont care much about it.
thanks for finding my discussions and postings enjoyable.
i checked my friend's list to make sure i have your name notification ON just in case you start a discussion but i guess you prefer to respond than to start your own.
i have lived in 3 asian countries and been to different provinces of those countries so i guess that helps me understand a lot of stuff and makes me realize that my belief is quite different than most.
my mom often complain when i was a kid that i have a unique (VERY according to her) personality BUT that is just me since then.
makes me wonder why you states it:
Asian who has embraced the American culture. This makes you sort of unique
mind telling me why? just sort of helping me to sort out myself in a different perspective sometimes.
have a good one!

[i]Hello jairgirl,
Good job! I am not surprised that each of your post cost 11 cents. Your one post is equal to my three post. The quality of your post is great. You don't need to post a lot to earn $1 per day. I think that's the secret why your few post have a high earning. For me, my highest earning is about 80 cents. I average about 45 cents per day which is just good enough to meet payout. I don't complain, I just give my best shot to post quality post and do other small stuff to get a high earning per post.
Have a nice day.[/i]

[i]Hello!
I am not very sure how many hours I spend here at mylot to get 45 cents because I am doing others online earning as mylot. I am guessing about two hours average. Take care of yourself to! [/i]

oh i see (still confused) is that an average 2 hours only for mylot or is it overall sites you visit?
just wanna be clear coz i have to admit that it should be higher than that, if its true that it is 2 hours maybe you can follow some advice that others have shown around here and hopefully that could help you around coz i know you are wanting to really have something to earn - am i right?
anyway, i wish you all the best.
takecare!

hi robert,
thanks for being here!
i dont post much lately coz i am trying to do some learning at home though i try to at least read or post a few just to relax my mind and then go back to what i am doing - it sure helps me haha!
i dont earn $1 lately coz i guess i post 3-5 a day. when i was active here and spending at least 2 hours a day i can earn more than a dollar a day but i dont have that much time anymore. im sure you can earn that way too if you spend 2 hours out here.
the highest i have ever reached out here is $2.05 and it happened when i comment for 15 discussion and i spend at least 3 hours then.
i am not sure if that is the discussion that got deleted but it was a busy one too, haha.
how much time you spend out here to average 45 cents?
it is good that you dont complain and just do your best. i honestly feel that is the best way to earn out here - by having fun!
anyway, keep it up and hope you keep earning!
takecare!

hi jairgirl,
woww, that's a great amount especially you reach it 5 months ago, which money here was still hard earned ( sorry for the belated response). i guess nowadays you can earn that amount easily , as mylot seem to increase our earning per post.
my highest earning so far is not that wonderful. it's just about $0.87. happy posting, and earn more lol.

hello sutanhartanto,
yeah, back then i earn more than a dollar a day coz i am here for 2 hours each time and respond to 10-15 discussion.
those were the days LOL
i am no longer that active now coz i am very busy and i am having some mylot burn out as well.
i think the highest i have ever earned out here was $2.05 and i spent at least 3 hours then. comment for 15 discussion and then respond to some of mine as well.
btw, i am only active here for 4 months i stopped the day i registered coz i only earn .05 and it was not worth it but i realized that i love mylot for the fun and the friendship i got so it is worth the time.
anyway, just give yourself some time and you will earn more than what you are used to.
just focus on posting to at least 10 discussion that you think you have a lot to say and that way you can post more than just a few paragraphs and that is the secret i guess.
just my thoughts.
thanks for your time.
wish you all the best.
takecare!

in mylot you will paid $0.01/line post. So if you only have 10-15 post and get paid $1.11 I think that you write more than 10 lines each.

hello,
i honestly dont know how mylot works when it comes to earning rates, i just know that that day i made that amount of money and that makes me happy.
i hardly doubt that a one liner will give you $0.01 coz i have done that in the past and i dont remember it falling to that direction.
i guess that is one of the secrets of mylot and we wont be able to find that out. the only way for us to make money out here i guess is to enjoy and keep participating to each and every one that we feel deserves our post LOL
btw, i wonder how much you get by the way you post?
is that the reason why you come up with such calculation or you have better reason behind what i have noticed?
thanks in advance.
takecare
