How long were your discussions. Were they really meaningful responses or just a bunch of one lines? Short, useless discussions don't get much earnings. And maybe mylot just was behind on their payments. It might show up in the next days earnings.

sorry i didn't mean to say they are meaningless. It's just..i've had people respond to one of my discussions and all they say is "yeah I agree with you..." and my disucssion has nothing about someone agreeing with me or not lol.

It could possibly be your posts you posted too, will end up counting more for tomorrow as todays earnings, or I would hope so. If you do not see a change, or large increase in earnings, you might want to bring it to myLot owners attention as sometimes there might be a glitch in your earnings somewhere.
All I can say, is do not get discouraged. myLot continues to be a Great place for you to be, and Welcome seeing more posts from you in the future.

I think there is no need to worry about and you can increase your earning slowly.One more think i want to say you.Dont consider mylot as a main source of income.What ever the small amount you are getting from this site is a bonus for you.I mainly joined mylot to improve my english and communication skill.I think mylot benefited me in different ways.My first online earning started with mylot only.After joining mylot,i came to know about more online earning opportunities by discussing with mylot members.Now i am making some extra money monthly on the net.I got paid more than five time from mylot and i think mylot is the best discussion site in the net.So there is no need to worry about the earnings and it is not a waste of time,if you are serious.

i think that mylot is not a waste of my time because i earn money just by creating a discussion or responding to one. let me give you advices. what i like about mylot is that i am able to write the things that i love and like and i am getting paid for it. the second best thing that i like about my lot is the ability to help people with their questions. i can do this by replying to their questions or discussions that they post online. i also ask questions myself and i get good feedback and answers from people in mylot. i know that want to earn money, a lot of money in a very short time. if you really want to do this, you must commit to writing on my lot at least 20 discussions and 20 responses to every discussions you find interesting. if you are lazy and just expect something to appear by themselves, then this is the wrong site for you. just find a better job and stop writing on mylot because i can tell you know, without commitment and passion on what you are doing, you will never success on what you are doing.

This is interesting for me to have come across in reading. I had something for similar happen to me today or yesterday, not completely sure how you would want to put it. I participated in 19 discussions, and I always make them as long as possible and detailed. I even started 2 discussions myself. I was in the mind set that I was going to get more than what I actually got, which was $0.06. The day before I only participated in 10 discussions and I made more than what I made for 19. I was a little confused, but reading your discussion and the responses you have, I am going to wait it out as well. Best of luck to you and your earning adding up tomorrow.

It could be that your earnings for April 11th hasn't shown up yet. Don't give up just yet as mylot is a great place to earn money as well as make friends. Also, the quality of the posts make a difference, I think. Just keep trying, you will get there!

Don't forget to check the time of day you are doing your post. Sometimes your earnings will show up the next day. Make sure you are giving quality answers though and not just a couple of words. Sometimes I notice I am on here right when mylot says it is their cut of time for the day. I will keep posting but then the next day I will check my earning but not post anything because I want to make sure my earning show up on the following day for the postings I did the night before. Do you understand what I mean? So see in the morning if you got more earnings.

hi gmwgreat. I think you should check the difference between your GMT time and myLot GMT time. the date you checked should be in myLot's timezone. what would it be in your own timezone?
I often found that my earning would be reflected exactly two days after I posted at night. I noticed it because the date I got fewer earning was when I did make less post numbers but then the next day I got more earning and I believe it reflected the date I made more posts in myLot. (please note: I made fewer posts number but still kept each post with more than 4 lines)
just try make some experiment, gmwgreat. for example, set a day when you would really make a lot of posts, then right the next day, make few posts number. then check the earning you get later. when the more posts would actually be calculated? right the next day after you made them or two days after then? that's how I checked my earning back then and I noticed that myLot really paid for my efforts, so don't get down too early.
good luck!

You need to enlarge your discussions and your responses both as they look for quality far more than for quantity so use four or five sentences if possible for both discussions and responses and you will make better money. I make at least one dollar and seventy cents a day and sometimes two dollars but I try to reallydo quality responses and discussions both,

Well, updates are updated only once per day, and usually around 9am eastern time. If your earnings were only showing for April 10th, than your earnings weren't updated for your participation on the 11th. I only earned a little bit on the 11th. I got 1 cent from my referrals, which was my sister.
There are some key things that can help you earn here at MyLot. Turn on notifications for ALL of your friends, that way you are able to respond to every new discussion that your friends start. Since I've done this, I've increased my earnings like crazy. Also, when responding to a discussion, use the best grammar and punctuation that you can. You also want to respond with as much information on the topic as you can, always aiming for the best response. One liners will not earn you anything, you want to post out long responses, like paragraphs if you can.
Good luck here on MyLot, and happy earning.

For me, NO--myLot is definitely not a waste of time. As what the other members said, maybe you were responding one liners or a bunch of lines that doesn't make sense or something? And yeah, sometimes the earnings that you were expecting for this day will be carried over tomorrow. Or something like that. That also happened to me before, I posted about 50 posts and I only got $.10 for it but the next day I got $.40 (and I only posted about 10). Don't quit myLot. You'll get used to it and you'll figure things out. :) Good luck!!
