How Long Did it Take You to Reach the Minimum Payout for myLot?

I was just wondering because I've spent a total of 15 hours on here in the past 2 days (insommia) posting at least 49 discussion reponses and I have a whopping grand total of .39 cents. Now, I don't know about you, but I hardly think that "profit" is a profit at all. How do you feel about this myLotting adventure and, if you have reached the minimum $10 payout, how long did it take you?

It seems to have take me about 6 weeks to get to the minimum payout here. I suspect that will be the norm for me. I was trying to make it in a month but I think my posts are too long. You will not make a lot of money here but I exchange ideas on other sites for nothing so I guess you might as well get paid, however miserly. I will not make even $100 in a year but it is still more than I would have had were I not posting on myLot. If you wish to increase your earnings I am told you should try to make at least 4 lines in your posts, not sure how true that is. I am going to try to post a few picture in the future as you are supposed to be paid for those too.

Well, I greatly appreciate you sharing your experience and shedding a little light on this whole myLot thing. I've since given up on my dreams of becoming the next multi-millionaire solely from posting topics and responses on this site, lol. It's been like 4 or 5 weeks for me now and I'm up to $1.74. Lol, watch out Oprah, here I come...

I have been told that the first million is the hardest to make, I am still working on that first million so I will take their word for it. I seem to be $999,799 short if I sold my condo and cashed in that roll of toonies in my sock drawer I have been hoarding for a rainy day. I figure if I post about a hundred million posts at myLot I will make a million dollars more or less, which will take about 10,000 years give or take an odd weekend off.

This isn't really a place to get rich. It took me three weeks to get to 10 bucks, then I got 15 dollars my first month. So I guess it depends on exactly what you're looking to earn.

Tell me about it. I don't really know exactly what I was expecting to get from this, but I just feel like I've wasted 15 hours of my life that I will never get back. But, I have come across some interesting and healthy discussions on here, so I guess it hasn't been a COMPLETE waste. Thanks for the response!

Yes, you won't become rich here. I think it took me 2 months or a bit more to earn my first $10 minimum payout. It can become frustrating if you think about it too much. So, just enjoy posting in interesting Discussions and you will earn more before you know it! :)

I generally reach minimum payout within the first 7 - 10 days of the month. A good balance of posting a discussion a day or so and quality responses combined usually means I will achieve this timeframe regularly. I am a firm believer that quantity is NOT the answer to consistent earnings and an effort to post quality responses of five or more lines coupled with making every effort to ensure ongoing interaction in your own discussion by replying to every response etc; will better your chances. People make the mistake of thinking that the more they post in terms of numbers, then the more they will earn. But they end up posting one or two lines over and over again and it is just not optimal.

Wow...7-10 days. That's been the quickest thus far. I think I did believe that payment was based on how much you posted as opposed to how well you posted, so you have definitely been a great help. And I really appreciate your tips...I fully intend to incorporate them into my posting practices. Thanks for your response!

It usually takes me a month and a half to reach payout. I can never reach payout in a month in time for the cutoff. I work full time so my time on the internet is limited. I try to post as many as I can in one day. Sometimes I earn well, sometimes, just a little and sometimes as low as a centavo. Once I reached my first payout, it was easier to work for the next. Just continue and don't be discouraged. It will be easier when you get your first payout. They pay quite fast too!

I appreciate your encouraging words and I have opted to continue with the season. There is an amazingly postive vibe that I get from the members of this site that you really can't find anywhere else. Plus, I've actually learned a lot from the various topics of discussion that are posted by the second. So, yeah...it's good. Thanks for the response!

It took me quite a while, almost 2 months. Doesn't look like I'll reach payout this month either. But don't be discouraged, I know that a lot of people here reach it real fast. It just depends on how much time you spend on here, but it's not just the quantity that counts, the quality of your posts also factor in. I love mylot! so stay awhile before you judge it. It's a really great and fun place.

I'm definitely giving this place a chance. A lot of the discussions have proven to be quite informative and even mildly entertaining. I really appreciate your positive and encouraging response. Thanks!
