Which is obviously why I joined myLot. I've only been here for less than a week but I've earned less than a dollar so far. I feel that the payout is too slow, so I was wondering what it takes to get more money?
For those of you who have been using myLot for a long time and for those who earn a lot from here, can you please please share some tips on what I cn do to improve my earnings? I've read the FAQs section but the answer was quite vague and not that helpful.
Also, what other websites are good to visit to make money? Are there sites which award cash prizes?
All your feedback would really help me a lot as I'm currently unemployed and using up my savings. :( Thanks in advance I hope people respond to this post.

hi,want to get extra money? What's your nationality? I'm the webmaster of www.chinaoften.com. Now we are in need of English tutors, guest speakers, hostes/hostesses online. We offer payment from 1 $ to 15 $ per hour. It depends on how capable you are, what you can teach and how well you draw learners' attention. Besides money, you get to know many Chinese people and have a chance to feel another culture. If you're interested, please send an email to chinaoften@163.com

I got the same thing. We can not read the characters of the other language and so it shows as just a bunch of ?'s. This does sound like a great thing and I might be interested. Can you add me as a friend here and pm me with more info?
I did find a few things I could read. I think you are doing well with the site.

471 posts in a year! No wonder you don't earn much! haha
As mentioned above, you have to put the effort in to earn anything.
Some members are posting 30 to 40 responses a DAY and aiming for 1000 a month. At current rates that should bring in $20 to $25 a month.
The really, really big thing about MyLot is that they do pay - the next month - on the dot!
None of your 'pending' or wait 5 months after putting in a claim type of nonsense found on many other sites on the net. Mylot pays!!!

Welcome. I have some sites on my profile that might help you out. At least take a look. The first banner is a program that I'm in now and one that you will see other MyLotters doing. Then if you do get a blog and want to promote it via traffic exchanges, the fifth banner is good to join because as you surf, you have a chance to win $500. That's pretty good! Hope this helps.

Yes it does but you have to work really hard. First, your blog should have loyal readers. Second it should be at least 3months old. There were lots of things that pays you with your blog. :) you can check mine. yellopolkas at blogspot.

This looks like a great site but unfortunately, it's only for Indians. I'm assuming your Indian? How much have you made from that site? Could you recommend other websites for the international community? I'm from the Philippines so Asian websites should be okay as well. Thanks!

Hi mimico! Mylot is a good source of extra cash but it will take some time for you to be able to reach payout. You have to exert some effort posting discussions and responses of good quality. You can gauge how you're doing so far by checking how much you've earned for the number of posts you've done.
There are many other sites that pay for simple online tasks. Most of the time, they will have some contests for most referrals, or most number of points, etc. You just have to look around and see what programs you'd like to pursue. I have a list of those sites in my blog. Check my profile page and send me a message so that I can help you out.

I say the best secret is consider it like a huge international dinner party. There are a lot of conversations going around and you're free to move about the table. As with any discussion that you start or enter, its important to keep the conversation going. And have fun at it.
I made 3.09 yesterday.
Do you have any office experience? The best way to really make money online though is to use some of your savings to get certified in data entry, or medical billing or coding and or software and data base programs and get a job telecommuting.
Before then, you can try something like odesk. They don't pay much - but depending on what country you're in - they pay alot.

I'm glas you posted this too. The responses have been very enlightening. I have wondered how much the people who are busy here really post every day. I suppose I could have looked at the numbers by each ID and when they began, but it's good to see them tell their average participation per day.

It's quite impossible to make a living from mylot.. It's gonna be very tough and hard.. If u are just talking about money for expenses, maybe mylot can help u with it.. There are some ways to boost your mylot earnings..
One, post quality discussions for ple to respond to it.. The more respond u get, the faster u earn too..
Two, if u cant think of any topics to post, than respond to other ple's discussions, and also, the more u respond, the more u earn, however, ur response must be good.. Not those one line answers..
Third, quality responds.. It may gain u best responds for that particular discussion and your earnings will go up too..
Fourth, posting of photos or images will help u to earn too..
Lastly, refer your frenz to mylot too.. If they are active in here, u will earn a certain percentage of wat htey are earning too ^_^

Hi Mimico, I have been on mylot for quite some time now and it does move slow at first. The key is to respond to top discussions with good content. Also, add referral's. I have several great programs set up and am doing well working from home and making a steady income. If you go to my profile page I have a website set up (use the 3rd link down on the right column to access another blog I have on money making). Also I have referral banners in my profile that all pay out at under $20 per month which is pretty easy to attain if you get one or two referral's and take advantage of all contests involved in the sites. I work about 2 to 3 hours total per day and am doing great with these companies. Good luck and hang in there. At first it takes a little longer and you want to go for some referral's but after awhile it kind of sets itself up and keeps on going.

to be honest if this is your only tool for making money online you will be very disappointed so my suggestion is that you find a variety of things to do so it all adds up. i do online surveys and product testing and come here as well. it is hard work at first as you have to find the legitimate sites that really do pay but it can be done. each year i make more than the year before and i really work hard at it. good luck.
