Despite my success with posting 100 posts for two consecutive days, I still haven't made payout. I'm 0.47 cents away and at this point I really don't care if I make it or not. I'm just done with the whole process. All that work for $3.27 or 0.016 cents a post. I figure if I'm destined to make it I will and if not it's time to move on. Still, it's cool to know you can make almost a third of the payout amount in two days. I've decided that from now on my big writing day here will be Thursdays when I don't have to go to Florence Poets (which I often do). The reason I pick Thursdays is because I have three strong typers on that day and my fingers will appreciate me only dictating as opposed to typing. So I guess the process was worth it in a way although today I'm pretty wasted. What about you? Have you made it or are you like me still a few cents away with two days to go?

All the money you made this month will get paid this month whether is $10 or more than $10.

If you reach minimum by 31st you will receive it by 15th February. If you don't make it your earnings will be carried over and you will receive it together with February's earnings on 15th MAtch.

I've made payout for this month but it took me 3 months to make payout. I don't try very hard though. I think it is cool we get paid for basically running our mouths. Even if it is only a little bit. I run my mouth all day anyways. Keep at it I think you can make it.

I don't even try until I get real close. It takes me about three months to get there. I still have lots of dollars to go.

I made my payout 2 days ago & I've NEVER done 100 posts in a day. Occasionally I do 100 in a week. I'm finding lately, that the more discussions I start, the better I do. i also attempt to comment to every response. Then I visit my friends' discussion to respond. When I get to feeling burnt out, I go shopping for the day or stay away for a couple of days. Then I come back with new eyes.

I just signed up for the site about a week or so ago, so I never expected to make payout for this month. I think I'll have a pretty good balance by next time though. Se, I work from home at night and I do on the phone customer service. Often there is a good bit of time between the calls, so I sit and answer questions on here and pickjack. As far as money making, I've had better luck with pickjack. (If you're not already a member, may I refer you...please...blink blink. lol). But I have had a couple days where my postings were just short of a dollar. If I can keep that up I'll have a nice little payout for February! Wish me luck!

Well this is not encouraging! You can cash out at 10 bucks as well right? I really am putting as much time and effort into this as I can and if that happens..If this is a rip off..That will really suck! :( How long did it take you to earn 100...

It took me 14 hours, 35 minutes. This site is not a ripoff. I've earned over $70 in my two years here, not bad for a free site!

Personally, .47 is not that far away, and unless you do not post in here at all, you should be able to make this. I have reached payout for this month, but have a personal posting goal I am trying to reach, but know it might have to wait until February to do so as well. Yes, it can take a long time to post this many discussions like you did, and the earnings may not always be as you would like or expect, but that is impressive that you did post to 200 discussions in 2 days as well. All I can say if you miss it this month, you will achieve it in February for sure, so Wishing you the Best.

That is an incredible number of posts to make on any one day, let alone two days as far as I am concerned. You must have spent a considerably amount of time here on myLot for those 2 days to achieve so much. I have always understood that we are paid for the quality of our posts rather than the quantity that we make and so that could be part of the reason why you did not earn a lot of money per post. In fact I often make a counter comment to the comment on my response to a discussion and although it does not give me any increase in the total posts, it makes for an interesting discussion. However, if you had nothing else to do on those days and no other ways of earning money, then you are "ahead", as the only thing it cost you was time. The internet is connected and you generaly pay for that whether or not you use it, so by posting you gained something. If you make the minimum payout by the last day of the month, i.e. 31st January, then you will be paid on or before the 15th February. If you do not reach payout, then the money just carries over and is included with your February earnings which you will be paid on the 15th March. Good luck with your posting and I hope that you can continue to reach the targets that you set for yourself.

Sorry to correct you but if you did 200 posts and received $3.27 then that is just a bit more than 1.6 cents per post. I actually find that my earnings increase more when I comment on the people who responded to my posts...my rating does not increase but my earnings improve. That's why I always make it a point to answer those members who took the time to contribute to my discussion.

I am $2 away from pay-out. And it is already end of the month. So perhaps, I will be making my payout next month. Because I could not spend much time posting now since I am doing a lot of work today. I just made it online because it is my break.

I have 8.92 now but I will be able to make payout I'm sure. I can easily make 8o cents to a dollar a day if I put my mind to it and I am a pretty fast typer so I dont think it will be an issue for me. I have the time to devote to it, but it would probably better be used on other sites. I dont know how many posts I have done but it is not too hard to post.

Wow, you did 100 posts back to back? That's incredible! It's too bad you won't make it to payout, but I think you still have another day to go. If you could earn a dollar a day, then I'm sure a few more cents is very feasible. Just do it! Have faith! Push yourself a bit more. You're sooo near, so don't waste this opportunity. I already made it to payout although it's only because I missed the last 2 payouts. :(

Hi there! I won't be reaching payout for this month too. I am halfway till payout. I haven't been visiting mylot very often cause I am working on my other online earning site. This would be my first time not to receive payment but its ok. I think I am still earning well here. All I need is to spend more time just like before. Next month I'm sure I'm sure I will be reaching payout. Good luck to me and to everybody here! Ciao!

I did not even come close, but I just recently joined. I can see already that it will take me a long time to make payout. I just do not spend enough time on here to accumulate much. But it is fun anyway.
