It's such a struggle and for so little money.I made .30 cents yesterday. I'm not sure its worth all the time i'm putting into it. I don't feel like spending my entire day on mylot for pennies a day.It's very discouraging Do you ever feel the same way?

I have a few ways of looking at this. Originally I joined myLot as a way to earn money, but as you can see it does not bring in a large cash flow. But after I started on myLot, the first day, I fell in love with the interaction I have with so many different types of people, and the ability to discuss an unlimited amount of topics.
If you are posting quality responses and questions, and you are doing referrals, you can easily earn money without spending countless hours on myLot. Although I enjoy spending my free time here, the other day I only did 4 responses to questions, and I earned 13 cents for only spending about 15 minutes on myLot after a long day at work. THe largest earning I have had in one day way $0.89, but the key is being thoughtful, and having your responses be about 5 sentences.
Do not look at this as a way to make money, more like a small reward for engaging in intelligent discussions.

This is also how I see it. Some days I earn close to $1, other days I'm lucky to earn 20 cents. I try to make quality responses whenever possible, but sometimes I'm just not in the right frame of mind, or the Discussion, while interesting, I can respond to in 2 or 3 sentences. Other times Discussions will just jump out at me, and before you know it, I have written a novel! *LOL* So, this is a nice place to talk about various topics, and earn some nice spending money in the process, some days more than others! :)

Well, judging by how post you have. I don't think you have been here long enough to decide. I suggest takingon eday and be really active on thsi site. You will see the difference in the amounts you can make. Start by making new discussions. replying to them and commenting on other discussions. Also get as many active referrals as you can. That helps makle you money.

It depends on what is your target. As for me, my target is to be able to get up to 35 cents per day and I only need to post between 10 to 20 posts in a day. I normally can do that during my lunch break and before I go back home from work and if that is still not enough, I just continue a bit more at home. Anyway, doing as many as my target, it does not really take too much of my time.
Just a little tip for you to make more per post. If you could double up your posting in terms of the length of your post, you would be able to get more cents for the time that you spent on myLot.
Your discussion above is about 50 words. If you can double up to 100 or triple it to 150, you would be able to earn more and that's why some people needed 800 posts to get 410 while others only need 300 posts.
Hope that helps and yes, you need to work hard to earn some good money here. Cheers!

I am a newbie here and my best day earning record was with $0.29. I think in order to increase your earning, quality is not a big factor because if you only post just 5 quality posts per day, you'll earn worth amount of money. Mostly people join myLot to earn and they don't even think of the quality of their posts and only think of the money. Just try to focus more on quality posts and the money will come to you.
