how can a newbie earn money here? what are the rates?

Hi there sofmat! First off, a big welcome to you to the Mylot community; I'm sure you will enjoy this site and will make a lot of friends as well as contributions along the way! Anyway, there are quite a number of ways to earn on Mylot; the top two are starting discussions (which you should already know how to do - it's exactly the same process when you asked this question) and replying to discussions started by others (like how I'm doing now). Other methods of earning include uploading pictures and linking you blog to Mylot if you have one. Basically, just participate and contribute as much as you possibly can on Mylot and you'll be earning quite a hefty share of pennies! About the rates of payment, no one really knows how Mylot counts the earnings of members as it is kept secret, but on average if you make long posts just like mine, one post is worth on average about 1 cent to 2 cents. So, it's a pretty good sum for just typing and elaborating on your ideas and opinions. Well, all in all, just participate and enjoy, and the earnings will come on it's own! Happy mylotting!

No one knows how much per post you are paid here, the payment algorithm is so discreet and admin is not telling everyone about it. You get paid in every participation that you will have, like responding to other member's discussion, when someone response in your own discussion and adding photos in your discussion or response. That's the way how you gonna earn here. Minimum payout is $10 which will be paid once a month and that is on the 15th of each month. This month, the payment is out today and is 3 days ahead of due date. I just got mine, by the way.Lastly, make it a habit to make a quality post so you could maximize your earnings.
