Its a new month...where is your payout?

United States
September 1, 2008 7:32am CST
So did you at least make the minimum this month? Or do you need to rethink formerly lofty goals of a $100 payout monthly? I'm noticing my own personal slowdown here (partly because I lost power, Internet and moved in the last six weeks). I'm here more for fun than anything now, but I've noticed that there's fewer discussions that interest me, or else I'm not getting notifications (its a conspiracy I tell you!)(yes that IS a joke). So who's in their happy place, and who's going to regroup for September?

You'll get there! It seems some days we ARE diligent, while others we just totally ignore posting here! I really don't get as much time as before (I used to spend hours) but now there's so much more to do! Good luck and there's always next month!

Do you post this question at the beginning of every month? I'm sure i see a question the same or similar to this at the end of or beginning of every month. I don't come on here to make money so payout isn't my main focus. I think people who only post on here for money are actually a detriment to the discussion because they don't post with a clear heart or pure intentions.

Well, quite a few of us DO post similar questions, and having been a member for nearly two years, I'm curious to see WHO actually responds! This way I can weed out the unnecessary friend requests I get on a daily basis, especially after making the digest. I actually post all over the place (though I did cut back the number of topics I had, since I had hundreds!), and try not to limit my responses to only my friend's discussions. Lately I've noticed that there are a lot of new members (less than 200 posts) that are not fully understanding the culture of myLot and how it works.

Hey yes, i have noticed the same. I get alot of friend requests, even though i've never talked with the people and i wonder why they keep requesting even if they don't know me?? I agree, there have been alot of new posts lately from new members who fail to read the faq's before they post the same questions over and over. Thanks for your response, i appreciate you replying. :)

I am trying to reach 20 dollars this month. I am right now at 6.94 dollars. I am hoping to get some good referrals and also to post as many discussions as I could so that I could reach my target. Yes it is a new month and hopes to get good amount of money this month.

I stopped seeking referrals after 6 months--I had 5 and they're all inactive now. I would focus more on posting and responding at this point; you've got all the tools at your disposal (myLot code, posting images, cut and paste) and all you need to do is use them! I also try to create well thought-out responses that get me a Best Response designation. Good luck reaching your goal!

i did not get my payout because I was too busy with school. I have to prioritize my studies now that i'm in my 3rd year in computer science. Actually, this week is finals week. Maybe after this semester ends, I can participate regularly and hopefully earn my payout.

Congratulations on school! I just started back, but health problems are preventing me from sitting at my computer too long (I'm a graphic design major). I'm also in my third year. I'm just taking it easy now...I really don't want to be as focused on staying online all the time. Take care, good luck on school and thanks for responding!

Welcome to myLot! I would suggest that you read the FAQs, and perhaps do a search within the mylot.com forun for 'how to increase earnings' for more tips. Once you're here for a while, you'll notice that you're granted little priviledges like cut and paste, uploading pictures and using myLot code. Also, it is suggested that you make your responses three to five sentences, to aid in increasing your earnings. Good luck!

rodel welcome to myLot! One thing to remember is to make your responses a bit longer (3 to 5 sentences long). If you get a chance and haven't done so yet, take a moment and read the FAQs for additional tips! Thanks for responding!

Well, the only way a person could make $100 a month on here would be to post to like at least 100 New discussions a day, and start a couple of New discussions that others would be interested in responding too, and do this on a daily basis. They would also have to probably live on here, as if you spend time on here posting lengthy responses like I do, it takes a long time to post back to a lot of discussions in here as well. But Yes, it is a New month, and I am on my way to see just what I can do with this month as well. I am sure I will have no problem reaching payout in here as I never do. I just wonder what day I will reach it, and for how much?

I know that $100 figure is outrageous, but there are still newbies who want to believe that they can. I just got out of the hospital after three days so I know I'll have make up a bit of posting for those days. I also go to school and I'll be starting a new job soon so I'm at the lowest payout for a reason. I'm looking to have more fun now rather than focusing on earnings. Thanks for responding!

Well, my old computer went crazy so I had go and by a new one. I have not been in here for some time. But loged in today. And I have been here no for some time. It so easy to stay to long. I like to do a lot of things while I am online. So I got a payout in june, but Next one will take a while to get. I also have got to work full time and have less time to spend online. But I try as much as I can in my spare time. I do not wait untill I have $100 I get a payout when I have $10. I have got two payouts.

Well, the $100 ideal was a more of a joke than anything--you'd have to be on 24/7 to achieve that kind of payout! I'm sorry to hear about the old computer, but I bet the new one is so much fun and faster too! I've love to have a full time job; unfortunately, with the economy (and my health) I don't see that happening any time soon. Good luck here at myLot!

Well, I certainly didn't make payout at $6.54. But, I think I will this month. I am trying to use mylot every day not just to make money but for the pleasure of it. There really are some interesting topics and lots to learn about. I got away from it for awhile because I was thinking of earning. Now, I will just do it for fun (and it will be okay to reach payout too)

I was too focused on earnings for so long that my life got too complicated and fell apart! I'm enjoying just answering those discussions that truly interest me, and getting back out to live! It's a wonderful world, when you're not attached to a computer! Thanks for responding!

15 or 20 responses a day? That was my goal before I got this stupid satellite internet, but now that I've gone back to school, I've got less time to meet those goals. I'm trying to post new topics to discuss as I'm sitting watching the news in the morning, or while recovering from a neuropathy attack; since I'm using my iPhone, it's rather slow going! Congrats on earning your payout and thanks for the response!

I've been a member for nearly two years, and still don't fully understand the earnings algorythms! I just try to respond to those discussion that interest me most, start some discussions and generally have some fun. Thanks for responding!

I didn't make payout last month (July) so I'll be getting quite a lot for August which means I probably won't reach the cut-off this September. I think I'll finally land a full-time job this month so I won't be spending as much time on myLot as I did before. Anyway, I've also started to become lazy when posting here. I can't figure out why I haven't even been active for a year! I do hope I'll continue earning because I desperately want a digicam for Christmas! :)

Good luck with the job--I just found a new part time (I haven't started--life threw me a huge kink this week!), started school so I'm behind. I also started to get burned out--some of my friends have left and on one topic that I liked to post on has become a deluge of silly immature topics! Thanks for responding and enjoy myLot!

Hi scorpiobabes! Well I'm in a happy place! I've made payout 2x for 3 months and I think I'm doing well. I am starting again for this month but I'm taking it a bit slow. I like to have fun here in mylot and not think about the earnings for a while. Ciao!

That is great! You ARE doing well, but sometimes we get burned out after working so hard for so long! I decided to go back to school last month, and am taking it a bit slower than in previous months. It IS fun here, trying to come up with new and interesting topics--I forgot how interesting the news can get! Thanks and good luck enjoying myLot!

I need to start posting here more often my account has been 1$ for the last couple of months.. I am super busy at these stupid pay per action sites.. I need to quit them and return to mylot ... Cause I can not keep up with them on this slow computer and many of them disapear or delete my account before ever paying anyhow... My first 90$ I reached back from November to I think June I had it set to 100$ but then I got antsy to want to see the pay so I changed my pay out to one level lower so I could get paid that time... I Wish I was in my happy place.. I am in my stressed losing hair sleeping all the time severly depressed pace.. Things were going really good until my mothers computer was hit with a computer virus.. and well then she brought my own computer down here my two sisters used it without my permission on and off for 2 years without a virus scan so when I installed my new scan not only did I discover 15 new viruses but I had to uninstall games, Instant messengers that were for the wrong computer system... So... Now my computer system is slower than heck my brother in law brought me a new cd burning drive cause mine is broke but its like no matter how much I try I can not seem to free up space on my computer... in case during installation it adds more stuff to the computer memory... So I am at a stressful place.. I am gonna try to return to mylot... and focus on mylot ... I gotta quit some more of these programs.. before I do that just trying to decide which ones to drop ... - Dana C. L. "DNatureofDTrain"

Ack, computer viruses! My daughter is the queen of downloads--"Did I do that?" was her standard line--and this has been going on for 9 years! The last virus my friend took care of, but it was entirely my fault! I went to a website (doing "research" ) and got something that virtually shut me down in July! I stopped stressing--believe me, it's NOT worth it! Just get a really good virus scanner and get a computer geek with a crush on you to be your best friend and you're set!

I will be happy to reach 25$ a month rather than thinking of 100$

Both of those are rather lofty goals, don't you think? I really have to wonder--unless you have a LOT of active referrals, how much time will you be spending daily on myLot? I think the highest I ever earned in a day was $1.81, and for that I was on nearly ALL day! Definitely not one of my better moments! Right now I'm earning between 10 and 75 cents daily, depending on how much time I spend here, the computer (my desktop or iPhone), and how many topics I can think of to start. I also try NOT to make this my life anymore..it makes for a boring me!
