How many posts should I post

No definite answer on that question you have but there are possibilities that could reach you such amount in a given day. If you make discussions, there's no assurance that members will respond to that and that would mean you don't have any earnings at all. But if you respond to a discussion by other members with quality posts then it's a sure win for you that you gonna earn something the next day. Make a lot of it with at least 5 lines but more it the better. What I noticed in my earnings is that, with 20-30 posts, I would be able to earn more than 0.65 cents and most of the posts that I have contains at least 5 lines but often times more than that.

I also think that if you just stay active on the site and do not focus on the monetary side of the question, then you will succeed more. Be interested in discussions, not in earnings, and you will be rewarded :-)

No one really understands My Lots payment system. It seems to be a different amount everyday. I always assume I am going to make atleast a penny a post. If I make more then that good. I am happy! lol. I also believe you get paid more if you respond to a users discussion and they mark you as best response. Atleast that is my experience.

Yeah, right, focus on the quality of posts rather than on quantity. Make them long and descriptional, and if you join in a discussion, try to leave more than one post in it. Being active in a single discussion throughout the day can earn you more than posting once 100 discussions.

There is no way to count that because as far as I know MyLot has a complex algorythm of counting user earnings. I earn different amounts every time I am here. I know only that posting quality comments and interesting discussions help increase your earnings.

There is no formula to calculate that as myLot is not making public the way they calculate your earning per post but if you want to take it to the worse case scenario where you would only earn 1 cent per post than you need to do about 100 posts to get to $1 a day. However, based on experience, if you maintain at least 5 sentences per post, you may get to earn about 3 to 4 cents per post and therefore, you need to do only about 35 to 40 posts a day to get to $1. My average is about 35 cents with about 10 to 20 posts a day. Yesterday I was too busy with work and I did not get to post that many. I think I could only managed about 7 posts and I got 18 cents for that. Well, that is based on my experience so far and the great thing about myLot is some of our experience are not the same. Cheers!
