I had used dialup for 18 years. Last week I switched to DSL. I have to say that with the speed I did really well since the change. Just yesterday I made $4.90 My preveious best was with dialup and that was just ovetr $3 and that took about 14 hours on here responding etc. This nerly $5 for yesterday was maybe 6 or so hours only. I didn't think I was that busy actually though. It can be done with a lot of work here. I wonder how hard it would be to make $10 in one day now? Hmmmm? What is your personal best day here? How much was it and how long were you myLotting to get that amlount?

I was surprised to a point. I wanted to see what I
could actually make if I busted my butt for a long
time. Now I know that $10 is not out of reach if I
work super hard at it.

Great for you!
so i guess the upgrade in price for the upgrade in speed is already showing to be worth it, huh?
if you have any friends or neighbors who want to get on too, i can help out - some people prefer to have a go between for tech support, etc - check out cohsi.net - believe it or not, we can order service from Colorado to about anywhere that Qwest offers service.
i'm very glad you were able to move up - we have so many rural people who are still stuck with dial-up as their only option...very sad that the companies cannot get the equipment into more places yet...
as to the question about how much and how long - i'm still a ways away from my first payout, but things should be slowing enough for me to spend more time here very soon, and i have a such great time on mylot, that it's worth it either way

Like I said I had dialup for 18 aganixing years. It took the high prices of EVERYTHING to talk my wife into allowing the change to DSL. It's a package deal so we save money that way is why the switch. I showed her my earnings page and the first words were, "Where's all this money going?" HAH! In my bank account not yours I replied. She laughed. So the switch will be worth the prive. I know I will make more that the cost of the monthly service.

If one sits for a few hours and has a great friendshipwith many members they can make some decent earnings I feel. It takes hard work and dilligence is all.

Well due to failing health issues I am not able to sit for long periods and I think the most I have made in a day is forty five cents. Even if I didn't get paid I would stay here. I have met some real neat people through myLot and even if I will never meet anyone I love you all. Since I have been here I have only made payout once of ten dollars.

Hi Grandma,
I am also not able to spend lots of time here. I also try to come here as often as possible but may be an hour or so only altogether.
I try to as much as I can, answer the comments which had come to my responses and answer other discussions etc. I also do not mind this because I really enjoy. I have to look after and help my husband with his work, visit one or two other sites where also I have become addicted just like here and I have friends there too. So even with less time I am enjoying my life here at mylot.

I don't come close to your personal best, even with dial up, so you either have very good referrals or you are great at posting..congrats on your best, and as for the 10.00 a day..I have heard where some make 100.00 a month which would be between 3 and 4 dollars a day, so that means you are making 100.00 a month, even on dial up? Wow...

Not opne single referral and I do not want any actually. I don't like signing under people for things and I don't do it myself. Except for here I signed up under my daughter. She even called about this saying she saw how much she got from my work saying, "Sheesh you were busy huh." With dialup I made over $3 a few times but that was for all nighters or nearly a whole dasy spent here.

24 hours wouldn't be enough for me even if I type with speed of light...
But in the other hand I don't have much time anyway.
In 2006 I was able to make $4 on one day when I was sick in my bed.

Yes, Polochicago, we were making good money back then, I think at that time my highest was $2.49 lately, since I have been here, my highest was 89 cent in one day, but believe me I was here for a long time. Nice to see you here!

Well I am my fathers caregiver and am at home
all day long so there's not a lot to do and
this fills the void very well. I don't stay at
the desk all the time. I get up doing house chores,
yard work, and gardening etc. Bike rides and walk
the dog as well to kill time and get off here.

Awesome! I guess that your new DSL is really making a difference. My highest earnings in one day is just over $1. I thought $1 was good. I am not sure how long I was on. I am usually on and off all day and I do not really keep track of how long I am on.
I am jealous of your $4.90.

As much as I am on here each day this DS is great for me to earn a lot more now that the pages load almost instantly. With dial up it took the page a good minute to load each and every time. So to start a discussions, add a photo, then add tags it usually took a good 3 minutes or more to do with dialup. Now it takes a minute or lessy for all that. Thanks also. One can make a good chunk here monthly with hard work. This I know now.

I start maybe 10 discussions a day sometimes 20. I respond to many discussions as well that interest me. I add photos a lot to my discussions and responses and to the interest groups. As far as quality I don't know what to say. I start most my discussions about my life and things in it. I speak my mind stating what I feel is the best that I can add to responses. That's it I guess. I just work hard and have fun first and foremost is all.

That is great. I have lovely dialup internet service right now because that is all that is available to me. I work with alot of other sites every day online. I try to work with Mylot when I get the chance to but I have never earned $5.00 here yet. I bet I could probably do so if I worked my whole time here. I love to respond to discussions and I am working hard on getting through them right now. I think the most I ever made here, was close to $.00 in one day while working other sites too. Way to go.

Now I see how bad dialup was causing me to not make much here even though I did realy well though back then. But if I work as hard as I did with dialup the $10 a day is feasable. Keep at it I say it can be done. Mooch and I are proof as I am sure there are many other members that have done well.

Your accomplishments here Grandpa Bob, will surely inspire the newbies. And a big round of applause for the DSL service. At least, their monthly bill is so worth it.
The most that I've earned in my 10 months as a member was $0.90. I spent more than 5 hours if I remember it correctly. I uploaded pictures, responded to discussions and posted a couple of discussions.
I still like to spend hours MyLotting but that's not possible these days. Either my husband has to pry me away from the chair so he can use the computer or my backside starts telling me that I've sat long enough!

Hey there, webeishere!
Wow!!! Congratulations! I cannot believe you had $5 in one day on mylot. I have never done this before in my life at all. I know that you were on dialup for 18 years. And now you are DSL. That is a lot better than dialup. I bet you have your internet at high speed. So I bet you can do as many posts as possible. I have always been on mylot every single day and night now. I have been doing as many posts as possible in order to get great ratings and earnings. So, congratulations and keep that up.
