I was reading another post about what people have as their payout level. Just wondering if anyone has chosen the $100 payout level.
If so, how quickly do you reach it? Do you have a ton of active referrals?
This is my first month on the site, so I am basically just casually commenting on stuff to see what the minimum I will earn is, then ramp up my efforts accordingly. Just trying to get some inspiration for the $100 payout. Seems near impossible to me at the moment.

I have mine set at $100 also. I know it will take awhile since I have no active referels but I don't think that is all bad because MyLot is a cool place to meet people. When one focuses on only the money they lose site of what is fun and then suddenly this all becomes work. Throw in a couple responses and get your clothes together for tomorrow. Do a couple more and then vaccum the living room. Your house is clean and you have made some mad change in the process!
What do you plan on doing with you MyLot cash? Have you reached a payout yet?

Wow! Your rating is really high! May I ask how much time one should put into this to make 15-20 month? My computer was down for the longest time so I am just coming back. In the morning I can probably hit it for 30 minutes or so but the evening there is too many things to do with the kids around.
I hear you about not worring about the cash. The price per entery is very very low but the fun thing is, I think, is going to my email box and finding all the people who have repsonded to something I posted! And chatting with other people in other cultures!
Any more advice to share?

Thank you both for your comments, I too don't worry too much about how much I am making. I just enjoy being here and answering and starting discussions. I just saw a comment the other day that someone had reached the payout for $100 this month and it got me started thinking how they possibly did this.
Since I have been continuously posting the last few days, I sort of see it now. :)

Yeah, I love My Lot as well, and I'm not specifically here to earn money, I like the fact that the discussion boards cover all topics that interest you(and a ton that don't as well), so that everyone has at least one thing to chat about. Most discussion boards elsewhere are so specific, it's hard to have longevity.
I like seeing my total every morning, but beyond that, I hardly look at it the rest of the day, unless I need inspiration to post. I've only been here about 2-3 weeks or so, but I just post to the things that stick out at me, and try not to leave one sentence or even one word answers. There is always more you can say.
It's interesting you break up mylotting as well. Since I work from home for the most part, I also post a discussion, then start the laundry, then come back and answer a few, then vacuum, and so on. It really breaks up the chores that I despise doing(specifically folding the laundry and vacuuming).
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the cash I will receive next month. I will reach payout after today unless something stupid happens, so I'm rather excited. The payout for next month will be right before my birthday(the 20th), so I'm trying to do as much as possible this month so I have a little extra money for my birthday including whatever I get for presents.
As for what I'm going to do with it? Probably with the first month, go out to dinner probably. Then I'll start looking for items that I want that are frivolous, and buy those. One thing I really want is a Roomba. Not sure if I want that or a Dyson, but I've got a while before my payout will be able to pay for those, so I can read all about them.

Wow, this is your first month and you are already at 317...that's amazing. I myself didn't even know you could change the payout amount. Mine is set at just the standard $10 and then if you make more before the payout day they will pay you that too. This month I am looking at a $15.00 payout, and this is only my second time to reach payout.

Yeah, this is sort of a test month. I have a flexible schedule with work, and right now is the time that I spend a lot of my time doing research. I'm a buyer for Macy's(women's accessories and shoes), so I do spend a lot of my time online. Whenever I get bored(which is clearly often) I post or answer a question. Then I go back to work. Since I'm online all day every day I have a pretty wide window in which to post. :)
I am mainly here for amusement, the getting paid part is just a bonus. I'd just like to see what the minimum is that I will get each month/every other month depending on how much I post.
I was just wondering how many people, if any, can possibly be making $100 per month. Without a ton of referrals, I don't see how its possible unless they are insomniacs.
Thanks for your response. Off to do some actual work....

Yes having many active referrals would do the trick in earning as much as $100 a month. As it takes so much effort to make it your own to earn a $100.

I currently have mine set at the $100 payout level. I've had it set to the minimum before and have been paid a few times this way. My husband actually thought it would be better to have it set to a higher amount so that my earnings could build up before cashing out. I didn't think that was a bad idea so I'm trying it. I know it will take some time before I reach payout, maybe I'll take it out before then. Who knows? LOL

I don't if I could be patient as that. it would be a long wait to reach payout

I remember when I first started I chose this as an option but when I got to $10 I changed it to $10 just to see if they will pay me now I changed it back to $100 since im in no rush to get this money and I think its a great goal for me now. But I doubt ill make it to $100 ill probally change it when I get up to $50 or something like that. That depends if I really need the money by then. Which I probally will lol.

Ha ha. Seems like a good plan. I'm sure you will be thrilled once you reach the $50 or $100 payout after having to wait a few months. It will give you something to look forward to. I always look at the amount I've earned for the previous day first thing, sometimes before the coffee is even done brewing. :) It gives me motivation to try and beat my amount earned from the previous day. So far so good. I'm increasing each day, provided only by a few cents each day, but baby steps...

I have my payout set to the $10 dollar level as well. I'm looking at a $15 dollar or more payout this month. Once I get paid, then I'll up the payout level and see how long it takes me to reach it. Next time I'm testing to see how long it will take. So on the 15th or sooner, I should be paid. Congrats on your first month. Keep it up!

I'm doing about the same thing, just testing the waters to see what's possible. All I need is a referral or 10 who spend as much time on here as I do, and I'll be set. Until then, I'll just enjoy my time on here and enjoy the little extra money every month.
Congrats on your month as well!

Hi everyone!
I'm also here for a couple of weeks, and I also have never thought of making $100 that much, I quite agree that it needs many time and effort. But unfortunately I don't have that much time, plus I don't have any referrals.
To me $10 is already very good payout :P
Best wishes to you and happy earnings!:)

I don't know if I was just too excited during my 1st week joining myLot or I'm just too crazy cos I did set my minimum payout at $100 and I just changed it to $10 like more than a month ago. I didn't think I could make it cos I just have $12 something on my earnings. It'll be cool if I can make $100 in a month here. Even for once! LOL. Too bad I don't have active referrals that's why I'm working alone. :) Good luck to us!

Wow that is alot. I've been here a few weeks and am still working on my first $10 payment. After i earn that I will see how it goes. I only have one semi active referral at this time.

Hello Adelida. No, I don't and have never set my minimum payout to $100, because I think that it would be a difficult task for me. I prefer to set it at a considerably low minimum payout that I think that I'm able to reach, and so far, I'm doing fine.
I admire those who are willing to try out the $100 payout and that would be a good target, actually. Good luck in your quest and I hope you succeed.
Have heaps of fun mylotting yeah. Take care and have a nice day. ;)

I agree - WOW! One month and already over 300 postings. I still haven't hit 200 yet after about 2 months. But, I also take care of my mother, etc, so I'm not on here 24/7. I haven't reached $6 and don't expect to hit $100 for a very long time. I'm doing this more for the opportunity to say what I think than income. But, the fact that I get anything keeps me coming back, because heck - a penny I didn't have before is still money in the pocket, you know?

Well, I am sure there is no one in here including me who would have $100 set as their payout unless you were earning at least $50 a month in here so it would take only 2 months to earn this. Overall, as you are probably finding out, it does take a while to earn a lot of $$ in here. Unless you have a lot of time to spend in here, most people just barely reach payout each month. For me, it is about the Friendships you can make on here and things we can talk about versus the money. Yeah, the extra is nice, but I also enjoy this site for many other reasons as well.
Mine is set to only $10 and Yes, there are months I have made way more than this but I am one of those who usually can use whatever I make on here each month for extras that I might have to do each month.

I don't have any active referals so I keep my payout at the minimum..$10. I think if I had active referals then $100 would be possible but I think it would still take at least a few months, but I do not know, I have not tried.
@di1159 (1580)

Wow! I've been a member for several months but still haven't reached payout. I can't do more than a few posts a day and I usually try and find something I can contribute to with an intelligent response. I guess I run out of ideas after about 5 posts (lol). I don't know of anyone who has this, but I'm sure there is someone out there in the mylot community who has done it. Good luck to you and your goal!

Nope. I have mine set at $10 and I have only just reached that after a month and a bit. It would take me a long time to reach $100 because I have no active referrals and I don't spend loads of time on here with my education and such.
