I'm pretty new to MyLot, so I'm hoping somebody can help me out here who has a better feel for the earnings system. I have set my daily goal here to 32 cents, so that I can reach payout by the end of the month. The problem is that I don't always have much time, and the earnings are only updated every 24 hours, so I don't know when I've hit that amount. Do es anyone have an idea of how many posts of about 4 to 6 sentences it should take to hit this amount. Estimates are great, they're still better than the hazy idea I've got!

its easy to make more than 32 cents a day. i made more than 32 cent yesterday posting only few posts. first u should be an active participant of the discussions u involve. u should post comments for the discussions and if u upload pictures u earn more

I'm still having trouble figuring out if we get paid for comments on responses. Most people say no, we don't, but I've found that a long comment can really affect my earnings. Has your experience been similar?

i think its yes. i made only 75 posts and got 85 cents till now. so i think the comments make earning a little amount

Writing about 20 good quality posts and responces a day should get your $0.32 daily quite easily. It is quite hard to work out how mylot pay, I thought I had a rough idea untill today (19 posts, 1 disscusion of my own started,2 best responces and only $0.12).

Thanks for the advice. I've had a similar experience, but I guess it has something to do with the length of the posts as well.

If you are making some really good and meaningful responses then around 16 to 18 posts should do the trick but if the answers are short and not quite explanatory it may take up to 30 posts to reach this target.

hello paint guru, as an old member of this site i can give you some useful tips for you to reach the payout sooner, far from what most new users know, earnings don't depend solely on the number of post we will make but moreover on the quality of each discussion we'll post. meaning you can earn more with few sensible and long discussions than many post but just a one line and useless question. i hope you understand what i mean.
if you want to earn more here, post discussions in interesting topics and make a good and sensible response to other discussions.
you can also earn more by referring other users to join under you.
happy earning!

Thank you for your advice! I have been trying to increase the quality and length of my posts, and I think it has had a positive effect. I want to start referring people, but I don't feel right about making money from others until I've at least done my part on MyLot and reached payout first :).

Depends on your approach.
On one hand you could try multiple smaller posts (about 40+).
On the other hand you could try longer posts (about 20+).
The system calculates how much you put into responses and discussions. Putting in more usually earns you more. Putting in less means less earning.

it is hard to determine how mylot pays but based on my experience 40 post could make your earn more than that amount. why you stick to 32 cents if you can make higher than that. i make a highest record today. o made $1.20 this they earnings only. hope i can make it on my next mylot day.

Wow, congratulations on your $1.20. The highest I made in 1 day was 97 cents, SO close to a dollar! The reason I am aiming for 32 is that I think that is about the amount of time I have. It can be easy to get sucked into MyLot, but I try hard not to because real life has a way of going on anyway :).

We just really cant say how much participation will make 32 cents because it depends on your quality of post your star rating....and then also if this is your own discussion or response to some bodys else discussions every thinkg counts differently...

Yesterday i only made two disscussions and no posts, and i made 37 cents, but the discussions were quite long, and one got a few responces, while the other only got a couple. I think it depends on a number of things. I hope you figure it out. thanks

hi, i was wondering how we get paid anyways. i enjoy the site and its a great way to express your feelings, however i have been paid 27 cents for writing many many discussions so was wondering myself how do we get rated. can someone help

Well, it is still a mistery on how they rate our posts and discussions. One time I had like 0.37 cents and that was like only 8 postings. But like recently, I tried doing more than 15 but gave me only like 0.11 cents. I have no active referral yet that time so I just can't understand how they really rate our earnings. I guess it also depends on how well we do our responses and discussions.

Below is the information:
1:as a beginer,we can get $0.01/post.after you write 300 posts,it can be to $0.05/post.Of course ,it related to the quality of the post.
2:we can get the reffers to increase our money.we can get $0.01 from ones.but I don't know wheather we can get some money from their earnings.
3:upload the picture.
Wheather there is other ways to earn?

Just keep on posting dear. Its easy to reach it as long as you choose a quality topic. Having a best response will not help you to earn more. When you start a new discussion and they give a quality answer, it will help you a lot. Here some quality needs about 4 or more sentences. Just like when you choose your topic to reply may help.
Before, i had a small earning even i post a lot of reply, now it only takes me few post.

Wow, i learned a lot from this post, i find this very informative and helpful to newbies like me. Today is my 3rd day with myLot, my first day earning with 12 responses to discussions is .16 cents, so it might be true that each response cost .01 cents. Yesterday I got .21 cents but I failed to monitor how many responses I made.

I've only started to realize that I should be keeping track of the number of posts I write, and I'm forgetting to do it. I wish there was a Firefox extension for this, it would make things much easier :).

I am a newbie and I would like also to know how the earning system works. But it seems that nobody has an accurate idea regarding the earning computations of mylot. All we have to do is participate actively in the discussions and post useful topics. Maybe as we keep on posting in this site we will be able to figure out how to maximize our earnings someday. Let us just enjoy what we are doing here at the moment.

i don't know how many you should do in exact actually... but i am earning roughly $0.32 to $0.36 per day and i don't really have to spend too much time here... i only spend about 2 hours maximum to reach that amount everyday... so good luck... i think writing about 30 responses per day will earn you that money...

Hello ThePaintGuru!:-)
There is absolutely no straightforward answer to your question. Mylot has been changing its earning algorithm thus it's hard to establish how much 'same' amount of contribution pays. Mylot was at its best in paying before June last year, then significantly dropped payments and now has increased again since start March.
Per my experience, you need anywhere between 3-20 posts to earn that much. My highest per post has been just over 10 cents and lowest was around 1.5/post. But, mylot doesn't pay per post. It calculates total contributions. Of course, a descriptive response which is also rated plus pays more than one liner that is rated negative.
Contrary to common belief, you get paid for each contribution, i.e. whether you start a discussion, respond to another, comment on responses in your own discussion and reply back on comments to your responses in other discussions. You get paid at least 3 cents for at least 3 photos you upload in discussions, responses or interests. I don't now if they pay more than 3 cents if you upload more photos.
Generally, now, you have to make at least 15-20 contributions with 4-6 lines to earn 32 cents. To be on the safe side though, stick to higher number. I wish you best of luck for your earnings!:-)

Hi thepaintguru! I used to have a target of $.50 per day but I only reached it twice (as far as I can remember). Now, I average on $.20-$.40 a day. I don't really know how I do that. I just post responses from discussions that interests me and I feel that I can share my opinion to. I also used to take note of how many posts I make in a day and how much I earned for it. Now, I just go with the flow and post as many responses as I can. Maybe you can try that. :) Goodluck! Cheers!

If you post 32 responses I thnk you must can get 32 cents.
If you want do it easy you should post the good responses so that you can get more for once and you needn't post so much.You should remember that the quality is very important no matter what you do.

Hi ThePaintGuru
I've been here about a week and have been giving myself a limit of 30-32 posts a day to make payout, but i'm way past that already so I'm sure by the end of the month i will make alot more..yesterday gave me 85 cents alone..I try to post to things that are more me and I started about 4 or 5 discussions yesterday.
I always give everyone that posts to my discussion a positive rating and i do this for everyone when i comment to.
Hope this gets you back on track for them to pay you more LOL
