mylot myths - any one???

hello juliefaye, thanks for being here! here is my answer to your question, often times we skip the process of tagging after we post a comment or start a discussion - according to mylot guidelines regarding the earnings we are rated based on our activities out here, the higher earnings you have the higher rate you get (that is just based on my experience that is why i feel it is relevant and irrelevant when someone says it is best to skip the process of tagging) btw, you're the only member out here that i saw a NO star next to your ID i honestly find it strange how did that happened? mind sharing it with me? looking forward to hear your answer. good nigght!

My being starless is the result of those monsters (now trolls) who put filthy tags on my discussions the reason why I'm away from mylot for few months. I take it as a blessing in disguise since I don't have to worry about reputations and fluctuations of stars, and as you said it doesn't affect our earnings. I hope it would stay that way as there were some who envy me for being starless.

Oh a zero star, things keep getting better. Maybe I'll find a negative star further down. But once again zero is the moon.

hello mimpi1911, i think a lot of us have experienced such thing (which i feel is sad) and some find the right path earlier and some took awhile. that is great that you have found the answers to your questions and the secret to mylot i feel some try to short cut and or cheat the ways out here and for doing so it back fires to them and it takes them a long time to reach their goals in payout. btw, no need to guess LOL keep up the good job! takecare

hello Dear! You adopted the correct approach. Once you thoroughly searched about mylot and its guidelines, you were half done and you could easily move ahead, without any kind of apprehensions in your mind. I wonder why people post incorrect or half-baked information. Incorrect or incomplete information can be very damaging for newbies. Many thanks for your nice and kind words about me and my response. Take Care! Have a great day! Deepak

yup! I couldnt agree more! i hope more members will set as a good example to the newbies and to the lost ones LOL when it comes to directing them in the right direction. i know you always do so keep it up. takecare!

hello deepak, nice to see you again! yes, i think majority of the myths being told here are not true and i feel some are intentionally posted to distract and give wrong answer to the one who ask specially to those new comers who happen to read the same thing. when i arrived here, i do try to either ask or read around for me to understand what mylot is all about and over time i cant help but smile why some will even bother helping someone out when the answer is not reliable, just my thoughts. also, a lot of new comer here inquire about ways of earning faster and better without realizing that the answer itself is already written in the FAQ area (earning guidelines) which i feel summarize everything. most fail to realize that the best way to earn here is to participate more and just have fun. anyway, appreciate you thoughts and always a pleasure to read your thoughts. takecare

hello rockvixen, i am at the same page with you on your first time out here that is why i stop for 2 months and just comes back for the fun and not for the earning anymore. i still dont believe that mylot pays till i have the payment on my paypal then that is the only time that i can attest to those who says it is true haha! i am happy that you have found not only the earnings but most of what mylot is all about - having fun, getting to know yourself and others and just be part of the community. btw, some will misunderstood the meaning of the more you post the better you earn it is not all about posting hundreds of post each day BUT posting a lengthy QUALITY post each time you participate. i think the number one rule of thumb here is quantity over quality... following such will always help you reach your goal out here (if you are for the earnings) but if you are for fun then just posting to your best knowledge is all the matters. thanks for your thoughts. have a good one!

hello Scorpionok, thanks for being here. i have to correct your understanding with one thing. so, i should reach more and more posts daily to get more and more positions to take more money posting a lot will not give you a higher earning, it doesnt matter if you post 1000+ a day BUT if you are responding one or two liner each time then you are just wasting your time coz this will not help you at all. i have read it in the past and have experienced it so i can really say that my words are true. quality over quantity is the most important ingredients in mylot. if you will post 20 discussion in a day but you are very sure that you know what you are talking about and it is more than just one paragraph, you can be sure that your earning will be as much (or even more) than you posting to thousands of post a day. a good technique will be, posting to a discussion that you know or you have something with essence to say - this way you can be sure that you will be able to write more than just your normal post length coz you have something to share. if you can follow that rule, you will be surprise how much it can change your earnings, ratings, and points out here. also, your post will be likely to get a BEST RESPONSE" which will help you maintain a good reputation out here. anyway, like most said the answer to most question regarding mylot can be found in mylot FAQ'S and guidelines already so just read it and you are good to go! wish you all the best! takecare

hello vanities, great to see you here. i am glad to know that despite what you see and experience out here you still stick to what you believe and what works best for you. i honestly feel that is the way to have more fun out here and just learn on the process. i know you have been here awhile (i have to check your profile to make sure that my two years is correct), you are one of the pioneers out here and im sure by now you know how to work around here even though mylot havent divulge there ways yet LOL hope you are enjoying your weekends. good night!

hello suspenseful, sorry to confuse you, what i meant in that statement is that... a lot of newbies out here believe that the earnings are based on THE MORE discussion they can respond, THE MORE discussion they can start, THE MORE comment they can reply back will give them more earnings in the end... it is not true coz if you do all this BUT only put a few sentences (a one liner or two) it wont make a huge difference in your earnings unless you start posting a few paragraph in every post you made be it your own, others and a comment you made with another comment. remember, mylot FAQ's and guidelines bout earnings says that we are judge base on the quality of our post (talking about comment length). you can do a test and see it to yourself. i did it and done it not just ones or twice but since i become active put here. regarding the earnings being affected by our star number, that is just silly myth IMHO coz i have a 10 and my earnings doesnt seem to change at all. what makes you feel that it is affecting your earnings? i suggest that if you really want to find out if it does affect or not try to compare a work of two days, same length of post and same number as well. then decide if that is working or not. wish you all the best. takecare

hello che, i know it was a big question to most as it is something that mylot have mentioned in the guidelines (or FAQ's) then contradict it by stating that we are payed based on our participation so it is very questionable in my part. if you may you can read my respond to hatley (post #12) and i have mentioned my stand regarding this matter. there are a lot of things that some members here have raised and it is not helpful at times and i am happy that you find your way out here without relying to wrong inputs. you've been here longer than i do so i guess you know better and more than i do, in case some thing new come out let us know great to see you again and thanks for your response. have a good one!

hello underdogtoo, thanks for raising such question (appreciate it!) to answer your questions, #1. i have pasted here my response to hatley (post #12). btw, i have to question you on your statement a discussion you start only gets one point when it is responded to do you mean points on the rank or adding a one on your post number (next to your user id) if its the later, i have to say that you only earn one if you responded to someone else's discussion for the first time, if you respond again to that discussion it is not counted - remember on the first time is counted. [i]regarding the number 1, i myself have reread the mylot guidelines over and over again coz i dont want my discussion to be deleted for no reason so i try to be wary when it comes to guidelines. anyway, having said this i have tested this myth (intentionally and accidentally at the same time haha) for so many times since i became active here. most of my time out here is spend answering my own discussion, i hate to leave a discussion unanswered - for me it is very disrespectful and i believe that a discussion is only a discussion if i participate as well and not just let the readers to do all the talking. i have discussion that takes all my time in a day and that dont let me post to anybody's discussion BUT i still manage to earn and IMHO it seems to be more than what i earn if i am posting with others. my only explanation to this is because i tend to write more if its my own discussion coz i have better knowledge of it since i started it (i mean i can respond in a manner that i can really relate with) also, like you said it is questionable in my opinion coz according to the FAQ's and guidelines mylot is all about participation and that alone is participating big time so to me it is very contradicting. sometimes when you write to the admin they will refer you to read the FAQ' s and guidelines regarding your query so it is not helpful at all - oh well! we sure have to bug them about that LOL [/i] 2. the more you post the better you earn Do you mean you earn more from posting less? How? most members believe that if they post hundreds to thousands post each day then they will earn much more, this is not true. we are calculated based on the quality of post we gave out here. the lengthy "quality" post you can share the better you earn. it doesnt matter if you only post 20 a day, if you post more than just a one liner then you are better off. i always suggest that you post to discussion that you do know as it helps you to write more and not just settle for something that most do know already. a few paragraphs will increase your earnings and will increase your chances of increasing your rank out here (if you are concerned about that) coz your post will be appreciated more and it is more likely that you will get a best response or a positive mark on it. to end this, i am wondering your thoughts about all the myths in mylot, i thought you are new here but when i checked your profile it states that you've been here for a year now. are you like me who stopped and just comes back? looking forward to hear from you. takecare

hello there, thanks for your comment. so you've been here for 6 months ei? are you enjoying the myth so far? LOL yeah, mylot is quite a mystery and i dont have much time to figure that out and be a my lot nancy drew haha. seems so many out here still struggle to find out but most have gave up and i am one of them. i have read that there are other myths out here but so far the one i posted are the ones that i can really relate with. anyway, thanks for your time. takecare

hi hatley, thank you so much for sharing your views and experience, i know you are one of the pioneers here (more than 6 months). sorry, i guess i should have written there that it is always quality over quantity and not just assume that one will understand it the way i want them to be - my bad! yes, i have always tell to every one specially the newbies that it is all about the quality of the post - the lengthy the better but make sure that you are making sense and not just post around (reason why i suggest to post to discussion that they know better and have much knowledge bout it than those whom they dont know anything or very little about) regarding the number 1, i myself have reread the mylot guidelines over and over again coz i dont want my discussion to be deleted for no reason so i try to be wary when it comes to guidelines. anyway, having said this i have tested this myth (intentionally and accidentally at the same time haha) for so many times since i became active here. most of my time out here is spend answering my own discussion, i hate to leave a discussion unanswered - for me it is very disrespectful and i believe that a discussion is only a discussion if i participate as well and not just let the readers to do all the talking. i have discussion that takes all my time in a day and that dont let me post to anybody's discussion BUT i still manage to earn and IMHO it seems to be more than what i earn if i am posting with others. my only explanation to this is because i tend to write more if its my own discussion coz i have better knowledge of it since i started it (i mean i can respond in a manner that i can really relate with) also, like you said it is questionable in my opinion coz according to the FAQ's and guidelines mylot is all about participation and that alone is participating big time so to me it is very contradicting. sometimes when you write to the admin they will refer you to read the FAQ' s and guidelines regarding your query so it is not helpful at all - oh well! we sure have to bug them about that LOL anyway, thanks for being here and im glad to hear that you are enjoying your time out here in mylot. i was just telling my hubby that i will ask my mom to join mylot when she comes visit me so she have something to spend her time with other than watching me and my hubby hahaha! takecare

hello LouiseKnittel, if you have time you can read my response to hatley (just above your name) and it will give you a better understanding of that subject. anyway, in case you dont want to read the upper post LOL i have to agree with you that if you started a discussion you have a responsibility to respond to each of it as it is not considered a discussion if you are not gonna share your thoughts and argue and agree with those who responded. to me it is not fair and disrespectful so no matter how much i want to increase my post number i still want to make sure that i am posting first to the ones i started then when i am done with it i will move on with others IF I HAVE TIME yay! takecare

JairGirl, Thanks A Lot for your wishes. I have never recieved any best responses yet, but your comment was the very best and nice comment i have ever recieved in MyLot. No matter i will never recieve any BR, i have got one from your comment. Infact I am Honered. Thank You.

hello jnk3dfx, thanks for being here! Dont worry you made a lot of sense and i agree with you completely coz i know there are a lot of myths going on around here and sometimes those myths affect the newbies specially those who are here for money. it would be great if someone would really post something that is based on their experienced and or direct them to something that makes the most sense than pretend they know the answer when they dont coz it will circulate out here and will just be like what you stated. I assume that you are just new here, i honestly recommend that you follow your last statement as it is (IMHO) the secret of earning the most out here. Just have fun, post with quality and you are on your way of reaching whatever goal you set out here. I wish you all the best. takecare

hello joseph, thanks for giving other side of my OWN experienced. it makes me happy knowing that my discussion is serving others and makes them think and let them do their own test if they have questions about it. i dont know how your #1 becomes a myth but i will disagree with that big time. i have said this coz most of my earnings comes from responding to my own discussion, in the past and until now i have discussion that will take my whole time out here BUT despite that i managed to reach an earning higher than $1 and there is one time that i even reach $2 (just once) by doing so. i think it depends on how active your discussion is and or how much you participate (length) on your own discussion. ANYWAY, we all have our own experienced here and i respect that you did test it too to prove others (maybe even yourself) that such myth is wrong. i have always says that the quality (which is mostly base on the length) of your post plays a vital role in your earnings so the better you do the better you earn. i am sure some will also says that some myths here are true in their part and they only base it one their own experience and who are we to question that really coz it is their own and not ours (same goes with you and me) mylot have their own ways of giving us our earnings, in the past i have read some website that discusses such thing and if you really narrow it down it will tell you that it is all depends on your participation - no more no less BUT they make it sound as if there is other way. oh well! anyway, thanks for sharing your own experience and for opposing my own LOL kidding aside, i appreciated it so much! have a good one!

hi jairgirl, thank you for the warm welcome. i think i'll still continue tagging my discussions since it's helping someone. even if i don't get anything for it, i'll still do it now that i know someone is using it. i'd say i'm here for earning AND discussions. i really enjoy reading and responding to discussions. it's great to learn about so many things here. i'm sure i'll stay in mylot for a long time to come. cheers ;p

hello again, that is great to know that you will keep tagging every discussion you participate with. im sure your effort is appreciated in so many ways. majority here are for earnings coz they see it as an extra way to help them with their budget. im like you, half and half haha! anyway, i am happy that you are back and enjoying your moment here - im sure your friends are happy to hear from you and your thoughts/opinions as well. takecare

hello applefreak, welcome back to mylot! i have been a member here for almost 6 months but been active for the last 4 months (though the last 2 months was a low one for me haha) like you i come back and love this place since then that is why even if i am not that active now i still want to be here as much as i can even if its just a few minutes. regarding your question, i always believe that tagging helps you earn as it is a form of participation here. as you know, our earnings is based mostly on how we participate and so any form of it will do good for you. THOUGH, this is not my reason for tagging - my main reason for that is i believe that tagging have its purpose in mylot community specially to the newbies who likes to search for a discussion. i know i do search for a discussion sometimes and it helps me knowing that there are those who do their part to tagged their work. i like to maintain a good outlook out here and i also want to help those who needs such service, i know there are only few who uses it but heck, it is there for a reason so i want to participate no matter what. anyway, if you are here for earnings and you dont like to do the tagging and other kind of participation (starting your own thread, uploading photo and rating a user or discussion) then it is best to just make sure that you are posting lengthy (but with quality) post in every discussion you take part with. i think that is the only tested ways to earn better out here. hope that helps. again, thanks for being here and hope you stay in mylot for a long time. have a good one!

hello bieke81, you are very true that everything you do here leads you to something that will give you an earning BUT some here (i guess most) are looking for ways to earn more than normal that is why this myths arise coz of those wonderers LOL some only post a few in a day but manage to get their payout every month it is because they post quality post and it is counted by its worth and length. some post hundreds a day and still struggle to earn at least a dollar a day,, it is because they thought they can post to each and every discussion there is without realizing that they are just posting a hi and hello and that is not helping them at all. thanks for being here. takecare

hello rhyannefranz, great to hear from you and thanks for the friend invite. I am happy to know that you appreciate the discussion and you find it helpful. I know it is not easy to be in mylot for the first time (ok few days) not knowing really what we are doing or what is real or not. I am hoping that others find this discussion helpful as well, i know most newbie comes here for the earnings mainly and it is sad that some provide them wrong information when it comes to earnings out here. you're doing a great job out here if you are new and you are already reaching $3, when i arrived here i have read a lot of members complaining about their slow earning BUT you are not LOL anyway, i wish you all the best. Have a good one!
