Looks like I reached my first Payout! How long did it take you?:)

Looks like I've made enough here to reach payout.Didn't think I'd do it at round 300 posts but I guess some have made it a lot sooner? How many posts had you made before you reached payout? Were you relieved or felt like you'd worked hard to reach payout or were not really bothered as you enjoy myLot so much:) Did you reach payout in a few days or a few months? According to my profile page, I have been here 3 months so it has taken me that long but I guess I could have reached pay out sooner if I posted more every day, but time... What about everyone else?

Congratulations! I made payout at a little less than 300 posts. I had to post long responses and discussions, upload pictures, and rate as many members as I possibly could. I made payout in less than a month but didn't make it in time for payout for June. So, for this month I should make a hefty payout for August. My goal is to make $30. I know I will have to post a lot and upload tons of photos, but I won't give up. I found out that the way to get the most per post is to make sure that the response is a really good length and has quality. Another member told me to put smiley's in every post and anything else I can do. I also do all my tags. Good luck to you and best wishes on future payouts.

Thanks fafinette and well done on reaching pay out before 300! August should be a good payout for you. I am also hoping to post more for the rest of the month to add onto the minimum. I think payout is very achievable here. I did not think rating made a difference so I will do that from now on. Cheers!:)

Well I have been here a year and a half, I really enjoy being on myLot, (I was away for 8 months) I have more fun with discussions than worrying about payout but since you asked lol....I hit my first payout at around 120 posts. I have hit payout 3 times on myLot and currently am at 18.82 for next months payout. I missed this months payout by .30. but it just adds to next months so I am not worried about it.

If you see my blog then you'd understand why I am keeping a tab on the earnings too I also post in other forums and discussion boards for no pay but that's the plus on myLot and it's kinda nice. Welcome back..

I reached my first payout in the middle of my first month like about 500 post and i do both enjoying and work hard. It is actually my first online earning experience so that's why i really work hard on the first month so i can prove if the site do really pays and i was really happy to know that they really do when i received my payment. That's when the time i was motivated and believe that it's true that people can really earn through internet.

Wow, 500 posts in the first month! I can't seem to find enough time between work and my other duties and I am also using other sites and do believe too that one can make some extra money online, it started out as a little experiment and I am enjoying it:)

Congratulations. Mine I reached in 350 posts. It took me awhile before I reached my payout as I'm just doing it on my free time. During lunch time and after office.
@marina321 (4556)

Thanks! I am also doing it in my spare time, between my busy schedule of work and my little one:) Yeah, can see people reaching payout every month actually if they have plenty of free time:)

Hi there marina. I reached the minimum payout for 3 weeks. I guess that's too long, but that time even I reached it, I don't reach the payout date because I've been active a week before the end of the month. But I'm happy that I received the payout after 9 days, just this July. Keep it up my friend and keep on posting!

Reaching payout in 3 weeks is not bad at all! Good work, I can't seem to find enough time to write on myLot so it's whenever I can get to it but now better as a few times a day..Thanks for your response:)

Hi, I reached my payout at about 500 posts. I normally reach my payout at the mid of a month. I will work hard to make sure I can reach payout every month.

That's great, I should probably be setting myself some goals too for these sites as they are achievable targets if you put your mind to it but easier said than done here:)

You are right. It is easy to say than actually doing it. I am not having enough time to come to myLot and so it is not easy for me to make a lot of money from myLot. Anyway, I enjoy my myLotting style.

wow It took me like 700 posts to reach my first payout! Althought some of my earlier posts were short. It took me about 3 months as well. Did you go for the minimum $10 payout? That was my first payout. I'm going to up it next month though. I want to create more of a challenge for myself. Congratulations and keep posting!

That is definately true. Thats why I'm keeping the minimum at $10.00 for July. I might get close to $10.00 this month but I'm not sure. It depends how things go with the rest of my life and how busy I am. Right now as it stands I'm working 6 days a week. Congratulations! Keep on posting
@marina321 (4556)
15 Jul 08
Thanks!I went for the $10 minimum payout as my first payout. I may go for a higher amount too the next time but you can always add onto it before month end so that's okay

I don't remember how many posts it's been since i made payout. I made it 2 months ago, but have slacked off since then. I'm not even close to payout now, but trying to get back to mylot more. Congratulations! The first one is always the best!

I am not sure why it takes some longer to reach payout, there's people who have reached it with less than 300.. Maybe have a look at other discussions on the subject and get some handy tips. I just follow those in this FAQ http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#18

Haha! No worries, you've still got till the end of the month... Checked earlier and as long as you get to reach payout by the 31st of the month, you are paid on the 15th of the next month. Thanks for your response:)

Responding to discussions is the most I know of how to make money quicker here. Keep posting and responding Can't think of more ways as I am also learning as I go along, have a look in previous posts about earnings and I think people here have given some good handy tips and some theories as to how to make more.

You're great!!! It tooks me more than 520 to get my first payout! You're doing a very great job. What is your strength anyway? how much did you post daily and did your referral active?

Thanks Not sure what my strength is as I just post and respond to discussions that interest me. I probably leave some lengthy responses if it's something I am knowledgeable about and can explain and I love to write I do not have a daily target and my 4 referrals are inactive all my work...

I have been here a very long time and I still dont have my payout so it can take a very long time. I left for a while and now I have returned, it is great to come back and see all of these new people and who knows I may actually get my first payout and see the money that I have earned. Anyway some people have made it within thier first month and I wonder some time what they did or is that just a story to make it look like they are making money.

Looking back now, I think it is possible to achieve payout in the first month except that you're often still looking around and getting the hang of it. Depends on how many discussions and responses per day I guess and time..em]happy[/em] Welcome back and Happy myLotting!

Congrats on reaching your payout!! I just made payout today too. YooHoo!!! It says on my profile that I've been here two months but I don't really think it's been that long. I think I joined about 2 months ago, but didn't really do much except my profile back then. I've only been active the last 3 weeks. Keep posting and having fun! Char
@marina321 (4556)

Congs to you too and well done on reaching it with fewer posts I was also quite inactive in my first month and most of the effort has been put in over the past month or so..nonetheless, it is very achievable

@marina321 (4556)

As long as you're enjoying it, should not be long before you make payout. I don't think I have been here 3 full months actually and some have made it a lot sooner. Keep posting and responding to discussions. Welcome and Happy myLotting!
