Does it worth if i earn $0.43 from 100 post?

Malaysia
April 14, 2008 10:14pm CST
OK, finally after 6 days of posting on MyLot, i've reached my 100 posts. Now i'm doubt whether to continue using it or not. It is because by spending 6 days on my own blogging journey, i can earn more than $30. But in MyLot, i added friends, i put comments, i started some discussions, then after 6 days, my earning is $0.43. Girls and guys, any advice for me? Any sharing to me?

if your going to make a post, make something worth posting like say, make sure that you have at least twenty sentences in your discussions. don't just put a question out there for someone to answer. you must give out examples and try to explain what the heck you are trying to say and want from the discussions. don't just make discussion, you should also repond to the people that comment on your discussion. it is important for you to keep contact with your readers so that you can get their vote for your ratings to go up.

"get their votes for rating", hi maxsee212, thanks for your very kind advice. hmmm... actually i rated everyone a plus + whenever i visit any discussion. I'm just trying to help up everyone, and why don't everyone do the same like me? Just rate +++!! hmmm... please ignore my rambling here, haha~ i shall continue to rate all user +++, no matter what others will rate me! Happy MyLotting!

dear oneandonemakesix, first of all, i must say that "wao!, you really get big money from MyLot! $400 is not too little to me!" Secondly, thanks for your sharing about how some people who like to put some negative force on others. Haih, the world is complicated, as so MyLot. However, i'm trying to put "positive force" in this community game. Let's make MyLot a better world!

hello yuanhuann, sorry to hear bout this experience, i am not sure why it happens though, o cant figure why after 100 post you only earn $0.43, i can say that if you are here for the money and not getting what you want to get then i suggest that you just continue doing your own blog journey coz you mention you are earning more than $30, i feel that is much better. BUT if you are here for fun and for friendship then such amount dont really matter. it is the value that you get personally and not physically. like i said i have no answer for you but maybe if you want to understand more about mylot and get a better earnings i suggest that you do some reading on the previous MYLOT discussion as it may help you and directs you to a path that you are looking for. anyway, i wish you all the best. takecare!

thank you so much! Yes, i did made some nice friends here, and some of the discussions triggered my daily blog ideas too. It is great to stay here to learn things from all over the world, from all different types of people. Since MyLot couldn't make me to earn that much, then i shall see it as a source of idea for my blogging journey. See, i like to write, and i'm happy to meet all great writers over here. My conclusion, i'll stay here!

Ok here is my oppion on the subject.. First and for most I find mylot a place to express my oppions on different subjects and topics.. I don't really use mylot to make my income.. It's nice to have something though I won't deny that.. But I do search more than I type here.. I look for topics that interest me or post things that I want other people's oppions on.. When replying to a post though make sure you making them more than 4 lines full sentences or you won't make anything.. however .43 isn't bad at least until you get the facts down.. One thing to remember though not to worry about money and just have fun with the site, than once you do that you will see your earnings getting bigger and bigger! I hope this helps!

4 lines of sentences, everyone is talking about that. No problem, i'll learn from you. Yes, you are right, not to worry too much on earning. Everytime when i was thinking about making some cash via internet, it makes me mad when i couldn't achieve my target. Luckily you guys boosted me in this discussion! Thanks for your tips!

Writing more than 4 sentences is pretty easy. I think is easiest is to choose topic or discussion that relates to your interests or hobby. Like for instance, I'm a computer programmer and computer technician, when ask question that relates to computers. I can type a lot more 4 lines of full sentences in just a few seconds. So, try to do that if you really are trying to aim at writing more 4 lines. I only use myLot for three days, earned only $0.07, I already improved a lot in my posting and discussion.

acstlegirl, Try starting some discussion as much as you can. But mostly enjoy yourself! With 3 jobs, you need to find time to enjoy your life somewhere..Your life will feel richer with the contact with others and maybe to just express ides, feelings that you do not have a chance to do on a daily basis.

i think you should do some introspection. it might be because your post wasn't interesting enough so you don't get any + rate. why don't you try to start your own discussion first i think it's kind of good way to get multiple rate from one topic. and try to find referral. start from your very close friend. it works for me. my earning is higher than my total post.

At first I was here for the money (I earned $2.39 up until now), but then I find the discussions here are quite interesting. Sometimes I find myself only reading and not posting anything because there is a lot I can get from just reading (by that I don't mean financially). MyLot is a great way to broaden your knowledge and expand your network. It's especially great for people who are chatty but like to chat about meaningful things. So if you're here for the money maybe you should call it quits.. but if you're here for the discussions than keep it up. By the way... you mentioned you can earn $30 from your blogging. how do you do that?

I'm not sure myself :) Some say it's not how much you post but rather the quality of your posting. I always try to give a good response and not just a response. I put a lot of thinking of what I'm going to say, how I will say it and whether it will be useful and a good input or not to the discussion. There is no certain measurement of the earnings that I know of. Sometimes I would post a few and earn a lot. Sometimes I post a lot and earn a few. So it's better that you respond to discussions that you really understand and know about, that way you can have a lot to say. Responding to new discussions might also help.

Well, I am in myLot for way more than just the money. Ya, the extra income is nice, but I have learned a lot by being here, and made so many wonderful friends. This is a Great site to be if you focus on other things other than the money. I also find the days I take time to answer more than like just 10-15 posts I do better as well. Welcome to myLot, and hope you continue to stick around.

If you are working so hard here at myLot just for the money, I think that you would really end up disappointed if you do not get that much. I have been here at myLot for almost a year already and though my intention for joining this site is to earn extra money, I made sure that I make the most of it here. I do not think so much about the earnings but the learnings that I get from the discussions I get from here. Moreover, the fact that I have gained a lot of friends from here makes me really very happy and contented. With regards to your query, well, you will be able to get more if you would post real quality discussions as well as come up with good comments for discussions posted by other members. Remember that while quantity is important, so is quality. Good luck to you dear friend.

YuanHuann, For 100 posts at $0.46 is too small. Something is terribly wrong i think. Mine went above $1 with about 40 postings alone. I also read that if you put up your Photos it will not be compensated but it would if you add a photo with your discussion post. Other than that .. if you get more friends ( i dunno). But i think Loters need to post reasonably lengthy posting and not just a few words. You may get 1 point but your earnings may be calculated differently. I read it in the policy. Its best if you get in people under you by referring them. You earn 25% of what they earn like multi level. Anyway I consider myself newbie. So what i say may not be that right. http://url.e-vo.info/networking Be my friend ?

With 100 posts, you should have earned more than that. Were your responses very short? If so, that could be why. If you did a lot last night, it may not have shown up on this morning's earnings yet. Look again tomorrow and see if it has increased.

Buddy dont get dissapointed, it just happens make sure that quality is there in your posts and discussions. If you have quality in your posts defintely users are going to rate you. Also make it a habit to reply to users with full explanation or so which may help you in boosting your earnings. After all there are many more good ways to earn money than Mylot try this as supplement. keep posting

thanks choudhary03, i feel better now. i like it when you say "try it as supplement", nice~ By the way, i will keep on posting, no doubt. Just like i told others, i will always rate someone with a +. And i've already did that to all my fellow responders. Happy MyLotting to all of us!

Why are they deleting users' posts? I always thought that Western Country should protect speaking rights. since everyone of us signing up here has a paypal address, and they can track all the user. and it means that users are responsible for their thoughts. haih...what a complicated world now, every where is the same now~

hi there! i can see you're taking the advice very seriously coz you've responded to everybody who answered your questions. that's good..hehe. i can also see that you want the earnings bad that's why you followed the advice. same here..;) no matter what they say about doing this just for fun we can't help but expect to have some earnings after exerting efforts in posting and answering diiscussions. after all, that's what they promised to us before signing up. we just thought the money would come easy. anyway, you'll get the hang of it in the long run. i mean, i've signed up just last year and have never made a payout once coz my earnings hasn't reached the limit yet. i'm regular here but my time is limited. we share the same frustrations but i just try to enjoy the discussions as much as the earnings as everybody here is trying to do.

If you are focusing on the money earned then it should probably not worth the efforts. However if you think about the value of social network that we have here you might find it useful someday. Not only that the people will share you some information you might need them to promote your blog and also you will get some extra useful knowledge from them. Since your blog can make more than $30 and nothing else you need more than that well i guess mylot is not worth the time you spend here to earn $0.43. You should focus on the blog and make $60 in another 6 days ;)

In only 6 days you made 100 post,I believe you have taken great efforts in mylot.Don't take earning seriously. Try to find out the last responses you rose and discussions you started,see if they are too short and not much decriptive and then try to say more from now on. The earning will skyrocket dramatically.

i guess it's not worth it if you only get that kind of amount from your 1000 posts. i usually get 80 cents - $1 when i reach my 100 posts. aside from posting, i suggest that you can also upload some photos and start your new discussion

Congratulations at your 100 posts. 0.43 cents are very low amount for 100 posts. I am doing almost 50 posts per day and uploading 5 to 6 photos daily and i am geting 40 cents daily. So you should be at 1$ atleast. You should have a loot at your responses' length and quality. Just try to make your responses lengthy and good in quality. Then you will see a growig inyour earnings. Thanks
