Yesterday I got quite a long period of free time..I thought of using it only for mylot.I sat up at mylot for more than 3 hours..i just imagined that I could have earned atleast 60 cents..Today when I eagerly opened my account, I was really disappointed to see my earnings..It was just 17 cents higher than the previous day..I could not guess what have happened..Just a day before I had responded to discussions about people earning 70 cents and a dollar in a day.. I was totally disappointed to see mine.Have anybody else felt like this..I'm really excited how people here at mylot make money ..

Well, we all have days here we are more happier with our earnings than others. I know there are many days I look and may not be as Happy as others. What I have found works best towards the earnings for me, is to make sure when responding back to a discussion, make sure your responses are at least 4 lines in length, and they always pertain back to the discussion started. I have been here a long time now myself, and personally can never figure out the earnings here, as somedays are definately better than others. Wishing you the best.

It has been said that quality discussions and
responses do earn a bit more than ones that
are not so filled with quality. I've been earning
more as mine have also gotten better.

The thing about seeing our earnings daily is that they do not reflect for the total of that day actually at the time. They do for just that time frame of maybe a day or so. We earn cash also for more and more respnses daily as well. What I do is write down each days earninsg then check n]back a few days later. I see the amlunts fluctuate according to the amount of responses recieved on all the discussions from that same day. mylot updates each days earnings so what we see the next day for an earning is just for that day at that time and not for the days total at then end of the month. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Not really dis-appointed but felt that i can much improve or i need to improve further in order to earn more money and want to share more knowledge.

Yah! its really tiring to see your account earning only a little considering the effort that you gave. I think it would be better if we would just make articles and respond to the discussions without thinking the income that we could get. The more we expect too much the more it would be frustrating if it does not meet your expectation.

When I first started on mylot was I thinking the same thing, and in the past few days have I learned how to post in mylot to earn some extra while having fun ^^ Today is the highest earning I had so far and it's 73 cents. I think I would want to try if I will be able to reach 1 dollar in a day ^^ but that take alot of works and I think I earn more in that day if I made a interesting topic.

well, I did reach $1.43 dollars in a day.. not really full time because I also do my household duties on top of working in this site. I enjoyed the discussions. It is just a matter of thinking a good topic to post for discussion. If many would reply to your postings, that' the time you will earn good.

I've been surprised some days that I've spent ages answering with what i thought were quality responses relating to the discussions and find out that despite the quality and number of discussions that i made less than another day where i replied less.
Not disappointed though as i didnt join for the money i joined to chat with people.

Yeah that happened to me, but that was before I realised the my earnings update based on how much I post the day before not including the morning before my earnings are updated, which goes on the next day.
I am hoping to earn about a dollar today as I have nothing much else to do, unless i type up some notes for college. I was pleasantly surprised to see 2 cents for posting nothing for the next two days.

Well it is not exactly for posting nothing as it is an average of all the days, some I have posted quite a lot as you can see by my 858 posts. If I post nothing then I get nothing.

i never actually been disappointed with the earnings from mylot before as i didn't put much expectations to it... i just join for fun and i just want to enjoy myself here... so no matter how much they pay me, i just accept it as long as it is not too unreasonable... i'm sorry that you are disappointed with your earnings... i wish that you will get more in the future... take care and have a nice day...

I was a little disapointed today, because I spended alot time on mylot last night and thought I would reach a little higher amount of earning for today. But the result is that it became much lower then I have expected it to be. But I think it's because I posted many short response like 2 line... So I maybe need to think about something more to write before posting in a topic

I don't know how they calculate our earning but it is said that if your discussion is in great quality they will pay you more. But I'm not confident at all. I earned 11 cents on my first day, a good begining is half the battle. I'm waiting for more.

Since i'm still new here i'm not getting high hopes on it so i'm not dissappointed. But I really wonder. I got 40 post already and still, I just earned 2 cents. Is the system not updated? Or it's just as low as you get in Mylot these days.

I have to say the only thing that disappoints me is they don't have a breakdown of how we are paid in discussion and comment to topics here. I have to keep a record of what i comment to really know how much i'm earning for the comments that i add my opinion too. The the ones that you get into deep with you don't get paid for them. That's interesting cause i thought you got paid for what ever you answer. As i go along i'm learning what is paid for and not paid for.

Sometimes,they account them in diffrent ways.I don't know how they account.
So,don't worry about it.They will give you the correct earnings.

That kind of thing happened to me many times. When I post about 60 responses and couple of discussions, I didn't get the desired earning. One day I posted 80 posts and 5 discussions and got only 33 cents. And sometimes when I don't post as much I still get 20-30 cents. I don't know how the mylot payment system works. I think we should be busy posting and be less concerned about the earning because it causes disappointment.

Oh, yeah. There was one time when I was expecting a high pay well about ($0.40) coz that's what I thought I was getting for all my efforts. Instead, I just earned $0.10 which I thought was not worth my effort...cause I really posted a fair amount of responses...I knew I wasn't really able to post a lot compared to the amount I used to post, but yeah, I got disappointed with my 10cent earnings.. and it's true that it sometimes get tiring...but try to get motivated in posting :)

I too was disappointed yesterday when I saw my earnings.. I posted a lot though I was not thinking about how much will I earn from the posts yesterday coz I kinda got hooked in posting and enjoyed it as well..But then when the earnings were updated, my eyes widened coz I only got a few cents out of I think 50 posts..Oh well, at least I enjoyed posting..Better luck next time..

I have! I'm always excited to check out how much I've earned yet whenever my earnings are updated, I feel very disappointed. However, I've been here for less than a week and many experts have commented on one of my posts on how to earn more money. According to them, you have to post at least 20 posts a day. Some do even 50 to a hundred. I'm not sure how they do it. Maybe they have so much time on their hands or maybe they just have a lot to say. Keep trying though. If it makes you feel better, I only earned 0.09 cents the other day which is gave me such a loser feeling because I could have easily picked up maybe 50 cents in the mall or somewhere...
