Confused with the earning process

Philippines
April 7, 2009 6:18pm CST
I joined my lot, few days ago ( i think its 4 days ago) and i am really confused with the earning process. The 2nd day, i see $0.02 in my earnings, then the 3rd day, i saw $0.54, so i thought that if i reply more from discussions and i start more discussion, i will earn bigger than the 3rd day. so yesterday, i created more new discussion and there are lots of people also reply from my discussion. But when i open my mylot.com, my earnings indicate $0.056, it means that i only got $.02 from yesterday. How does mylot.com really works. lots of people will tell me not to mind my earnings just post, discuss, and comment. But i really want to know how can i have bigger earnings just like the other. But mind you, i really enjoy mylot.com. Now i can start my writing ability, he he he. I really love to write (though im not really good at it, but they said practice makes it perfect). I want to share whats in my mind and also i consider this my diary/blogs and everything.

Mylot does not have a set rate for anything. First of all the more you respond to discussions the more earnings you will get. I think i get the most earnings from responding to others discussions they have started. You can get a good amount for starting discussions also only if people are responding to them. If you start a discussion and you have no response then you wont get any earnings for that one at all. Try to respond to at least 20 to 30 posts a day and you will see a big increase in your earnings. Also try to respond with more than 5 lines in each post and that will e a big help to. Enjoy Mylotting

Thank you as well!!! I was about to ask the same exact question since I just started today. I'm a college student so I figured earning a few bucks here and there just browsing a site trying to get my mind off school work for a bit when needing a break was a great thing to do but I wasn't sure if this site actually worked or not. I know its probably not something I'm going to be making a fortune at, but I figured anything is what matters, especially when it means I might be making enough to treat myself to something every once in awhile (tuition is not fun). It's kind of addicting in a sense as well.

thank you the information, now i have an idea as to where those earnings came from. So if you don't mind me asking, how many responses you create in a day and how many discussion did you post. And the bigger earnings you got from mylot.com. Can you earn like $20 in a month from mylot.com

Like i said over and over again, don't mind about your earnings yet if you're new here because it will just frustrate you. Being new means having to struggle with your earnings because you still have few friends, few best responses, no star rank and so on. The trend here is the more you make quality responses the higher you can earn. You may also try to check on the tasks then try to accomplish them. Mylot gives away decent money through tasks.

I'm sorry char. I myself am confused on how task really works. I only tried one task which was rejected. I didn't bother the proceeded with what i do best, to create and respond discussions. Don't worry, sooner or later you'll learn the ropes. No matter what, don't be frustrated or discouraged. Consider this a hobby worthy of your time.

I tried my task 2 days ago but up to now it is still on pending. Although i will try again to do one more task and see if will get it correctly. If its ok with you, will you help me and explain to me how does task work? Im also curious on how to do it since most of the times im online. From 5am to 6pm everyday so might as well learn everything.

I have been with Mylot for about two weeks now and have made the ten dollar mark before the month was out for payout. I earned most of my money with the task. As the previous people said that Mylot pays for quality not quality. You have to make you responses as detailed as possible. You should also try the task as some times they have some that pay two dollars. Try not to use abbreviations and spell out everything as to make your post longer. I have yet to figure out a system except to post as much as I can. What I would like to know from anyone is that when you start a discussion and you respond to what someone else wrote do you get paid for that? If you do a search in discussions you will find several tips there as there are people who have been here longer than me and they will have more tips. Get as many friends as possible so that they will see your discussion that you start and rate discussions as well. You can also post photos but they have a limit on how much you can do a day. Hope this helps Happy Mylotting

I'm new to this site right now I think it is my 5th day since I discovered MyLot. Sometimes I'm also confused with my earnings but according to the discussion I have read you can earn big if you participate more with the discussions. So I tried to participate more with the discussion and I'm begin to start a topic for my discussion. I know I struggle at first on writing because by nature I'm not a good one but I believe practice makes perfect. Thanks to My Lot that I can be able to practice more with my English grammar.

Hello Charlenmendoza, Don't worry; it's had me a little confused too. Obviously, being more active on MyLot helps increase your revenue, just like any other site (hah-otherwise no one would really blog for them. :D). The trick is to make sure that your discussions aren't taken down, or you are not credited your deserved amount. Also, make sure that you leave fairly descriptive and long responses to a discussion, as simply a 2 liner reaps nothing more than 1-2 cents I've heard. It may go up and down unexpectedly; occasionally MyLot might be experiencing server problems or other, so not to worry! They'll (meaning your profits) even out eventually. Hope that helps; if you have any other questions, just send me a friend invite and a message, and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. See you around! -Fresh Writing

There is no 'trick' in making sure your discussions are not taken down. It is enough to follow the Guidelines. Earnings do not fluctuate because of server problems either. [b]They go up if you are active. They go down if you lose posts due to violation.[/b]

people running this site were not brought from mars.............. they know what to reward you for...... so as you grow older in the community you will know the paying system. as about your love towards writing reply as many discussions as possible my lot is really fun for me too ,where i get to write........it makes you feel you are important to your friend across the globe

Hey there! Don't worry about it charlen. Mylot doesn't have a fix rate. It depends on the quality and quantity of your posts. It also depends on the time zone that you have. Mylot time is base in the US(I think central) so it could be that when you were posting it was late evening or midnight in the US. So some of your post will be counted on the next day. Don't worry it will still be credited to your account. You will earn more if your started discussions, responses, and comments are of good quality. Try to make your post lengthy, detailed, and well explained. That will earn you a higher amount than you usually earn. You also have spend time. What' more important is enjoy it! When you are enjoying you don't mind posting as many as you can. No one is perfect, only God. Practice only makes us precise and consistent. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

Hi...I'm also new here.It's very interesting for me, especially those countries where responding to the forum can not earn some money, to find this website. From my point of view, at the begining learning and making more friends is better,rather than simply earn through what you did on My Lot. For me, it is an really interesting discovery to know this website.

Hi,friend.I also encountered the same situation when I just join in here and start my online earning.I alway get frustrated when my money gone down.I told myself just don't care about the earning and go ahead.Now I have joined in for more than one month. Sometimes I find it is boring and get nothing to discuss.So I lower the standard I formulated when I just came here.Just have fun here.
