how long does it take?

First of all welcome to mylot, i would surely assist you on this. On mylot the thing participation means alot, the more you participate the more you earn. For the responds over a discussion let me give you a simple tip. Just add 5-6 sentences in every respond and that is sufficent to reach the maximum amount of the money that a respond may carry and i.e, 1 Cent. The money which you earned is payed to you the next day. That means it takes 24 hours to get into your payments from mylot. It takes 24 hrs to refresh the payments. So dont worry if you participated and still not earned anything , you will surely. Dont post Bulky responds. Post quality responds and always note that you post on responds which you think will survive

I dont think any one knows exactly how much you get paid per topic etc. Your should read the FAQ for further info but basically. Start your own discussions, reply to other members. Obviously the more you write, the more you earn but make it worth something. Do not start discussions such as "I like sweets, what do you like?" etc, one word/line discussions generally do not make anything. Also refer friends, you get a percentage for everytime they start a discussion etc, so you can earn even when you are not online.
