Well, was responding to another thread when this idea struck me.
I have been with mylot for a while now. And not many active referrals under me.
But I have been able to make it for payment each month!
Thanks to the many friends I made here who managed to keep active conversations with me throughout the month.
So I am wondering, reaching the $10 mark is easy.
But to reach the $100 dollar mark would be a little tougher. Depending on the number of downlines you got and the activity you do here in mylot, you may or may not already have reached the $100 dollar mark.
Much like the million dollar club that exists in the insurance circle, this is the 100 dollar club here in mylot.
So here, I am trying to see, how many of you have made it to qualify for joining the $100 dollar club in mylot?

I have earned only 6.79 dollars. I hope my earning will boost after I reach 500 posts.

I am sure you will.
Once you reach the 500 post, you will be able to cut and paste.
Then you can start generating lots of topics on notepad in your free time.
Once those topics are ready, you will be able to cut and paste when you log on.
There by increasing your posts. And your earnings will be boosted.
Do remember to come back here to profess your success when you reach the $100 mark!

That was what I was doing. We are always commuting to and from work. And the commute is really long. So whenever I got time, my mind will start to wander all over the place. Thinking about the day's events. Or about the news I read. Or even about the things I did. The topics and conversations I had with my friends and colleagues.
These are all fodder for something good for mylot as well.
So, once I feel that something is worth the discussion here, I will jot it down.
And when I can, I will transfer it to mylot.
Try it. It is really helpful.

i have 6 downlines but only one is active but yesterday she didn't go online on mylot. that is okay but it would be better if all of them would be as active as i am. i always tell them to be patient with their earnings and that they must stop diverting the currencies with our own currency because it will just discourage them. i always tell them that this would still help us add our earnings aside from the real job we have as a nurse. haha. but i wish i would also earn 100 dollars a week! that would be more than the earnings i get every two weeks. whew! that would be really alot!

I am not that ambitious yet.
To earn $100 a week on mylot is going to have you furiously tapping away at the keyboard during every single waking moment you have!
Not my cup of tea at the moment. But it is not impossible!
If you can get a massive downline and all of them are active, it is possible.
So work hard at getting more active referral girl!
When you reach the $100 dollar mark for the total duration of your stay here, let us know yah?

Ahh... another member who made it to the club.
How long ago did you reach the $100 dollar mark?
How long did it take you to reach it?
I see that you got more than 10000 posts. You must have been here for quite a while.
What is your average post rate?
How bout responses? How many on average do you reply to each day?
Lots of active referrals?

[i]Hello ahgong,
There are quite a lot of people here who have reached the $100 dollar earnings. If you see there post at about 10 thousand, they sure already earned their $100 dollar earnings. In a few more months, I will post again here when I reach my $100 earning at mylot. It is not impossible as long as you have the times and patience to post a discussion here.
Good luck and see you soon here.[/i]

Heh heh... will be joining you soon. Already at the half way mark!

Do you mean $100 in a month or $100 in total? I've been paid every month and so far my total amount is about $75, so it I could easily reach the 100 within the next two months.
If you mean earning a hundred dollars every month I don't think I could ever achieve that. I don't have enough active referrals and I don't post enough to earn that amount each month.

$100 a month would be something I would strive for. But not yet achievable.
I wonder if there are any who managed to get that kinda payment on a monthly basis!
Well, I mean the former, where you achieve $100 since you joined mylot.
You are already at the $75 mark. So you should be able to reach the $100 dollar mark and join the club really soon!
Remember to come back here to post your success yah?

Nothing is impossible here at mylot!
The only thing is how long it takes to achieve it.
Looking at your posts, you are pretty new here. So looking at your activeness, how long do you predict you will take to reach the $100 dollar mark to join the club?

Easier said than done. It is tough to get people to sign up after you. And even tougher to get them to stay active.
So it is good that you are able to get good downlines.
What is your secret?
Man would I love to earn the kinda money you are earning here on mylot alone!

How long did it take you to reach the first $100?
At the rate you are going, $20 a payout, I am sure you will reach the $1000 dollar mark soon!
Heh heh... hmm... maybe you can become the pioneer of the $1000 dollar club!

hi ahgong. I'd like to join mylot 100$ club. But today I qualify only to 10$ club and in August I'll qualify to 20$ club. I joined mylot over a year ago, but I am not very active so my earnings grow slowly. But beeing paid over 100$ just for posting is a really nice thing. It's like low paying, but fun axtra job.
I am always impressed when I see mylotter who has over 10.000 posts. It's increvible for me. It's like - wow, this man/woman wrote over 10.000 posts and he/she is still posting hehe. I am slowly moving towards 1000 posts and I;ll be very proud of myself when I'll reach it.
Have a nice day, jazgottt.

It would be good to join mylot from the start. We could watch how mylot grows and changes. And it would be much easier to find some actvie referrals.
I am not sure if I ever reach 100$ mark. Maybe I'll don't have time to post here in the future. I am quite slow in posting, and I have some spare time now. When I will be more busy, I'd post even less or maybe nothing. But I think that reaching 20$ mark is also great.
Happy posting, jazgottt.

I too am amazed at the 10000 posts that they have achieved. Those must be the pioneers who joined mylot when it first launched.
I sometime wished that I had discovered mylot earlier!
Well, one posting at a time. I will reach the $100 dollar mark sooner or later.
I am sure it will be the same for you.

A good idea about starting the interest.

well i definitely don't qualify for the club. i just got my first payout this month. so i guess it'll be at least months before i qualify. in fact, i think it'll at least be another half a year. i don't have any active referrals so everything is based on my activity. although i log in pretty often now, i might not be able to do so soon. i am starting class in a week's time and will have less time for the internet. hopefully i'll be able to squeeze some time to at least get a payout monthly. cheers ;p

Check your PM applefreak.
NO worries if you do not qualify for the $100 dollar club this month. There is always next month!
Even when you are on course, it is still possible to be active here.
How?
Well, write down whatever you are thinking and feel could be a topic for mylot.
Then if you have a computer, just jot it down on the notepad and transfer to a thumb drive or something.
Then in the evening, when you are free, just cut and paste those little notes to mylot. And there you are! Participation in mylot even when you are on course.
Then after the course, take you time to catch up on the responses loh!
@ahgong (10064)
• Singapore
4 Aug 08
ha ha ha ha ha... I am sure with course work, you will have a lot of gripes.
A lot of comments with the material you read.
Heck, you can even write about the new things you learnt that you never thought is possible before you joined the course.
Lots of stuff to write about and lots of stuff to comment about.
During your commute to and from work, course... etc, have a handy paper and pen with you to jot down your thoughts. And if you can, just draft something to post here.
Or when you are doing your business, you know, the type we do in the enclose space on a daily basis. Well, those are free time as well. Get the pen and notepad ready and jot down anything you think of. Then transfer them here when you can loh.
No pressure to post here. As long as you have the time, with the above methods, you will never run out of things to write about here in mylot!

hi ahgong thanks for the great tips. i'll definitely try them out. hopefully i'll be able to join this club in another six months time.
however, i think my course won't allow me to be as active. i've got lessons on alternate evenings and projects to do. in fact, we've got no exam but only projects to hand up at the end of the semester. i'm taking a degree course sponsored by my company so i can't afford to fail it. it'll affect my career and i got to pay for the course. ;p

I'm in neither the $100 club in mylot nor the MDRT in insurance.
I do not have any active referrals in mylot so making $100 per month in mylot is mission impossible for me. 6 months is more realistic.
As for MDRT, the new requirement is $103,000 in first year commissions. Quite unlikely for me too but I am happy being the agent I am now.

MDRT? What is that?
As mentioned below, I am sure you will be able to make it to the mylot $100 club in no time. It is not difficult. It is just a matte of how long.
Heh heh heh... Like I said, I am with mylot almost two years. I may make it this month to the $100 dollar club. Otherwise it would be next month.
Rome was not built in a single day. And $100 dollars is not accumulated in one day either. You will get there. No worries.

The 100 dollar club.. haha =D I"M still far from it even though i've joined mylot for almost 1 yr.. It's only till april, only then i received my 1st payment from mylot, and till now, i'm still not even half way thru to the 100 dollar club.. haha =D
Seems as it's easy to reach, but it's not easy after all, especially we only earn by cents each time, and not dollars.. haha

ha ha ha ha ha... you are so right about the accumulation of cents to form a full Hundred dollars to join the club. But it is also not impossible.
As long as you stay active, you will get there in no time!
I too never realized that I already been with mylot for almost two years.
And I was consolidating my earning here, I suddenly realized that I may make it to the $100 dollar club with this coming payout! And that is after almost two years!
So dun be discourage. You will get there one day!

No problem! I am sure you can make it.
Just ensure that you get as many conversation going as possible, it is not impossible.
From now till the end of the year, there is still a good three and a half months to go.
That would mean more than a hundred days.
Assuming you take a break in between, and you get a good 100 days to post here. As you already got one first payment, all you need is about 90 cents a day!
Keep about 5 posts a day and lots of replies. You will get there in no time.
Also, keep conversations alive as long as possible. Then you will have no problem earning that kinda money a day.
If you can get your friends that love to chat online, even better!
Bring them in under your name. Then keep them chatting here. You will see your earning increase even faster!

That would be nice to reach out but i think its quiet hard to do.Perhaps spending so much time everyday here or no more time to sleep could make it through to that amount.I haven't reach any pay out yet but next month i think i will and it would be hard for me to qualify for $100 club.

Hey... don't be discourage if you are not in the club today.
We will all eventually make it to the $100 dollar mark.
It is a matter of how long you take to reach it.
Even if you were to make only 10 cents a day, you will reach there eventually.
Just remember to come back here to post your achievement when you do.

One step at a time my friend. One step at a time.
No use hurrying. You will only get discourage if you do.
Like I mentioned before, focus not on the earning. But on the posting and the responses. Once you get that going, the earnings will come naturally!
A $100 dollar a week is something I would like as well. But first, get the goal of reaching 500 post so that you can enjoy some of the features available only to those who did.
Then target to join the $100 dollar club first.
Then target to achieve a $100 dollar a month BEFORE you think about $100 a week!
Just remember, come back here to post your achievements!

I did a couple of months ago. It took me about 4 months I think. You just need to work hard. And, I mean...work hard. By this discussion, I think you probably do. You didn't start a sort discussion with only a few sentences. You put some thought and effort into it and, I think that that speaks volumes about what you do here on myLot.

Wow... you reached the $100 dollar mark within 4 months!
You must have spent like a lot of time here!
What is your average time spent here?
How many post a day on average do you create?
How many replies a day on average did you managed?
Or you have heck of a lot of referrals?
Pray tell, your secret, then ahgong can emulate and make the same kind of income as well.

I don't have any referrals. I just don't even bother with them. I just get into discussions that I am interested in and I tend to be really talkative so, I have a lot to say...usually! LOL!

You're lucky you have friends helping you earn money here. It's a lot more hard work for me because I have to work for every cent I get. I hope to still be around to make 100 dollars here on myLot though!

Well, it is not impossible. Just be a little more active.
Right now I am trying to hit a target of at least 10 topics and 10 responses. Or 20 responses a day.
That way, I will make a few cents a day at the very least.
And when inspiration hits, it would be more. Eventually I will hit the $100 dollar mark. You can too. Just need to work at it.

Don't be depressed. Having kids is the best! Cos they are always up to something.
Just jot down their little antics. Take pictures of their funny moments.
Rant about their mis-behavior. So many things you can chat about when you are having kids.
Just come in here whenever you are feeling down. Share your feelings and naturally people will chat with you. There is where your income will be. Chatting!
You do not have to be super active here to reach the $100 mark.
A few cent today, a few more tomorrow, you will eventually hit the mark.
There are many mothers here who also are not super active. But it is fun chatting with them as well.
Just remember to come back here to post your $100 dollar achievement when you do.
We will all be here waiting to welcome you to the club!

Ah... I see. You are frustrated becos of that.
Well then, fret not.
You are contributing more than you think you are.
Looking after a kid is no joke. It is not an easy task either.
One good way to make extra income, take on another child to look after. Best if you can babysit one that is about the same age or older than your own child.
Think of it this way, you are already looking after one. Cooking and preparing the meals for one kid, washing and cleaning up after one kid... etc. Doing the same things for one more is not going to make a lot of difference to your daily routine.
And it adds a few hundred dollars more into your pocket each month when you are babysiting.
There are a million and one other things you can do that may help.
One of the ways you can do to reduce the "burden", check out the interest on Frugal living. They have heck of a lot of tips on how to use everyday items for cleaning to reduce on spending on soaps and solutions that can do the same job.
I tried some of the tips there and it has saved me quite a bunch on my cleaning solution bill.
Or you can try doing some handicrafts to sell. Or set up a blog on how to care for a baby thru the different stages.
Start a news letters in your neighborhood on where to get the best bargains. Or something like that. Depending on your interests.
So many things you can do.
