Is your payout level set to $10,$25,$50 or $100? How do you use your earnings?

It would be interesting to see how the posting habits and post quality would change if the payout level was $5. I agree that many more people would hit this level on a monthly basis. Perhaps this is why myLot starts payout at $10? MyLot might have to operate much closer to the edge and perhaps incur difficulties with payments if many more members are cashing out more frequently. I did receive payment today(proof is posted in my profile), and as long as the pay, $10 is okay with me.

Congratulations on your payout.Is that the first payout? I agree that as long we are sure of getting our earnings in our a/c , its alright.But a lower payout would help many who are not able to participate for a loner period of time

Oh, I am glad Mylot is still around. I enjoy my time here, whether I make that much or not. But, I have made less than $3 and this is almost the 12th of the month. This is unusual for me, though. It started falling off last month. Took me several days last month to make the payout for this month. Doesn't look like I'll make it this month again, probably will be January. I have other money in Paypal that I've made some other place, so it's not just the money made here. I'm just waiting until I get paid from mylot this time to have the money sent to my checking account.

Well, I would imagine that if you are hitting a $25 or better payout each month then you must be spending a considerable amount of time posting on myLot. Nonetheless, easily reaching $10 monthly isn't too shabby either. I am sure that referrals would really help your earning power. Having funds in your paypal account is a very handy thing indeed. There are plenty of good to be had online and many online stores are now accepting paypal as a form of payment. Good luck with reaching your goal. Cheers.

That is a wise approach when starting out earning as a new member on online sites. myLot most certainly does pay. I received my first payment from myLot today in my paypal account. Proof has been posted in my profile. Good luck.

I like to save up for larger purchases too. Having payments that go to your paypal account is advantageous for online shoppers. It's great if you are a member of eBay, but nowadays there are many more quality stores and online businesses that accept paypal as a payment method. Cheers.

Every little bit helps. I hope those wrestling events are local because online earning can be painstaking, especially in the beginning. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure that when I signed up, myLot was fairly new. I took some time off from it also when those other "paid" social networking sites started popping up but as you can see, I'm back. Also, if you go to someone's profile, there is a section under where it displays that member's friends. It will tell you how many months (11 months in your case ) or years that they have been a member. It also says how many profile visits they had and the last time they logged in. Have a great day.

Wow, you must have been around since the inception of myLot. How long has myLot been in existence anyway? I belong to a forum that displays membership sign-up dates and membership number based on when you joined. I liked that feature and it is too bad that myLot doesn't employ it here. I don't post 24/7 either, but reaching payout every month is a pretty good performance for online work imho. Cheers.

With a post count like yours, one would think that you are hitting payout more times than not. Needs are always supposed to trump wants.

This is the best advice that can be given to anyone attempting to earn online. You are wise indeed moneyandgc. If we had the choice, I'd vote for a payout level reduction to $3 or $5. $10 is the highest payout level that I would feel comfortable with. Cheers.

While $10 doesn't stretch as far as it used to, it still can be very useful. There are still a lot of things that $10 can buy. It is important to be aware of what items cost and when sales come into effect. In difficult economic times, it becomes even more important to make every dollar count. I think part of the problem is that it takes much effort to earn the ten dollars, while money can be spent so easily and so quickly. Good luck out there.

There is no way I'd set it at $100 because I'd probably eventually give up on it.

I don't know if there is any of the 155,028 members on myLot who set their payout level to $100. Perhaps members who have a lot of referrals could make use of a $100 payout level?

Well I am sure that there are plenty of people who determine after a while that myLot isn't worth their effort and leave. We all have different reasons for coming here in the first place and then staying after a while if we are enjoying ourselves. MyLot does pay, you can check out my profile if you want to see proof, so it doesn't hurt to stick around to find out if myLot is right for you. Once you build up a reputation, earning gets easier and more members are willing to engage in discussion with you. Good luck.

Spending your $10 on phonecards is money well spent. Those phonecards can come in really handy. Not only can phonecards save you a lot of cash on your long distance calls, but the phonecards can help you keep your budget in check. It is easy to go over the limit that you have set aside when you are on a monthly plan or contract and you only get a statement periodically. Additionally, when some people are paying 30% on balances that they keep on their credit card, a phonecard might just be a lifesaver. Thanks for sharing theembittered.

That is definitely and ambitious target. Good luck and be sure to let us know if you reach your target. Cheers.

If you reach payout quickly enough, then I would imagine that it wouldn't matter on some point? How quickly do you reach payout? Is anyone here reaching the $25 payout per month?

That is one of the great things about online earning opportunities and GPT sites. Almost all seem to offer paypal as a payment option. Even some of the survey sites that I am a member of have migrated to paypal for payments. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know how the financial system works in the Philippines, but in Canada you can set-up a payment schedule for mutual funds at the bank with as little as $25 per month. $25 a month is definitely feasible with online work alone. Good luck.

Earning is harder in the beginning before you have had a chance to establish a solid reputation. Once enough members pay attention to your comments and post in your threads, things begin to pick up. Hang in there.

I can't argue with these comments as it is very sound advice. I can now vouch for myLot as I received my first payout to my paypal account today. As I have mentioned already, proof of payment is in my profile. It sounds like you are a saver. I'm a saver too.
