is it the payment?
how much you have in the mylot earnings...
the best response?
how many you have in the side...
the friends you have made,
the number of request or acceptance?
the ratings?
the star!!!
the number of postings?
the bold number in brackets beside your name...
or how much you have been paid?

It is also all of the above for me. It is the fact that I can write my heart out and people are so open minded, the fact that we all have different backgrounds, ideas, opinions, yet we all respect one another.
I like seeing how many posts I can write and respond to a day, not just any posts, but posts where I am sincere and that have quality.
I like to see my star rating go up, this wasn't that big of a deal, once my star showed up when I hit 100 posts I had a 7, then a day or so ago I noticed it was up to 8, and thne tonight I realized, oh wow, my star is up to 9! It really means a lot since people on the site control that by rating the posts. I know I rate people with the plus sign all the time, so I appreciate that other people are doing the same for me.
And also, of course I love to see my earnings go up each day when it updates, and I like to see how much I actually made for the day, anything above a dollar has become my new standard since I've had above a dollar 3 out of the 7 days I have been here so far, and I plan on pushing myself to keep that up, by writing till I can't stay awake any longer!
So far I haven't gotten a payout since I never got active the last time I was here, and I just returned a week ago, so I didn't make payout, I did make 6.72 in my first week though, so I am looking forward to this new month and will look forward to some money in my paypal account in August that I usually wouldn't have. So yea.. I'm loving mylot so much!

My success is also measured by all of the above. I am thankful with my star rating now. I thought it is impossible to achieve such rating but after I received that rating, I still can't believe it.
I have some 3 pages of best responses now. I think that contributed to my star rating.
I am also satisfied with the number of discussions I have joined beside my username. I am hoping to reach the 500th posts this month.
I have been able to reach payout for june and I think that is a very successful act.
I also consider the number of friends I have as a sign of success. I intend to have more friends, maybe reach 400 friends by the end of July. I only invite those who respond to my discussions as friends. But I always accept friend requests. I think friends are the most precious treasure to have here.

hi racli I am successful in that I have a lot ofmylot friends, and that I have filled a void in my life that made me so
depressed. I had been forcibly retired and was at a loss for
something to do and found mylot. It has made me so happy as
'I have mylot friends, and make some extra money just being on here and responding to all my wonderful friends.

Well, for me, it would be making New friends we can learn from, and being able to respond back and forth and learn about things and from people all over the world, who at any other time would have never met, or learned from. Yes, the extra $$ we make on here is nice, but being here to learn from others and share along with them, is the most.

well, yeah aside from having a good ratings and best response or having bit of earnings.,the most successful thing i could have here is friendship gain from different part of the world.,how i wish we could all meet up but i know it is quite possible coz we live in different country.,so by sending out personal messages and commenting to a specific topic or by just giving put your opinions and views would be an achievement for me.,thanks mylot for having all of these.,have a nice day ahead!

For me it is all the things you say in your post but I think I would be more successful if I started more discussions. So far I have no discussions with no responses and my biggest discussion has more than a hundred responses, but I still don't think I am a successful discussion starter. If I started at least one discussion each day and had many responses to all my discussions I think I would feel myself to be more of a success at myLot.
I hope to improve my performance at myLot by starting more good discussions.

Hello, raclie, for me ratings and best respose.
Money's not that important, it's not money-effective, i mean i can earn more if i spend the same time on my other work. The number of discussions are all created by myself, i got discussions with no response as well. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, sometimes i feel the number of responses is a good standard, it reflects how much my discussion or myself are paid attention to, but not always, you know the same discussion if i start in "life" *peple" or a muted interest made by myself, things are different, I think.
So far i don't know how my ratings is evaluated, but i think there's a general of mylot, and may have something to do with the quality of discussion and responses. As to best response, well, my friend likes my answer and i appreciate that.
**Enjoy life~~**

i can consider my self sucessful by referring people, and be aware to the social consciousness by participating in discussions.
success isn't be considered success unless you played well without fooling anybody.

I consider MyLot synonymous with falure and a sad place to be which makes me doubt the human spirit and shows the internet at it's most commercial, grubby, coupon voucher, worst. So to be a success here I would have to be the slimiest greaseball imaginable with no moral scruples I guess... Success and MyLot - they just do not mix in my value system.

so....
why are you still here?
just quit!!!
you dont want to be a slimy geaseball do you?
i mean...
why do something you dont like and misses up your value system?
mylot is a rather good place for many others as it lets us know how do others think and build relationships...
if you keep making such comments you will have a really bad time here and you will just hate it more and more as most people who reply to these kind of comments will be really harsh against you!!!

Agree with others, if you don't like it at all, why choose to stay here, you can just sign out and be inactive.

I'm too new to form an opinion about me staying, and t is a bit like going to hang out in a smokey dive or a cheap diner - just because it does not feel successful does nto mean you do not go there....
Maybe I sometimes want to "slum it" on the net and hang out here, I have a right.
The question was poorly phrased - I think they really mean how do you garner money or popularity.
Or perhaps just what pleases most people. Maybe I am one of the ones that likes to provoke controvery and get answers like this on my comments. On the other hand I might like to make "friends" but not from the philipines or India I think...

I am successful on MyLot because o a combination of all o the factors which you have mentioned. I am pleased with my earnings, my raitings, my friends, the best responses which I have received, and all the good times I have had on here.

For me it's the ranking! Haha, I'm obsessed with my ranking! I stick to certain interests and try to post a lot to increase my ranking! Earnings, posting, rating, friends, and all are also nice, but I gauge my success on MyLot by following my rankings.

I think that I am successful when I see my earnings. If the amount that I nmake is more then the day before I am happy. Plus, I enjoy being on here. So getting up and getting on here everyday makes me fell succesful also.
