Hi patofgold, I don't think so, It won't come under participation. We won't earn any money for the private messages. But we can earn more and more friends through private messages. Even if your discussion don't receive responses and if you have a good friend at the lot. You can PM to them to attend them too. I have one of my discussion remains unresponded for more than a hour which is my first discussion. But if i have a good friend, i PM them to attend it. I already sent PM to my friend who referred me to this myLot. Hope he attend soon. Have a nice day.

I heard about it before, I do think we can earn by using our private message. Mylot wants us to use our the private message so that we can earn bigger. I am not sure where I got the news, that was last year if my memory serves me right. It became a topic of discussion too. Try to search it on search bar using this key words, private message earnings, or anything about private message.

Do you think we can get the earning by just sending private message? But Mylot never stated this as the guideline of earning. We have 2 ways to determine the answer. 1. Send a message to Mylot admin and get the answer. 2.) Try to only use private message on 1 particular day and stop all the others activities. If you get $0 the next day, so which means no earning from the private message! If there is an earning, that means Mylot pays for private message too!

I Don't think so if a private member can earn cents. I think just photo, discussion, and tasks that will earn cents here on myLot. I can say like that because I didn't see any word "Personal Message" on my earning page, So I think it won't make us earn cents by send a private Message.

Not that I know of. It only facilitate friends to be touch with each other in private. This is just an added advantage for its members to keep some dialogue behind the curtains.

I am a regular user of private massaging and it did not affect my earnings. It is proven that mylot is not going to pay for it. Let us just use it to communicate in private.

I have once had a very long exchange with someone here in this site using the private messaging feature but, I wasn't keen about seeing if some increase in my earnings did ever happen. Why not have a very good exchange with someone here in this site through private messaging? Then again, you could also do that on a discussion that either of you have started and there make it more expansive. I guess when it comes to private messaging, the topics can go from one idea to another, unlike on discussions that should at least be bound with the topic being discussed. Well, that's just an idea.

Yeah, I just get the chance to post every now and then now-a-days. Really busy. I wish I could also use the computer at work to do this myLot routine. (^_^") Hmmm, so that's what others say.. well, with the amount of them claiming that sending/receiving private messages to others here in myLot won't merit as any form of 'participation' I guess they'll just use that feature to just really send private messages. Count to think of it, they could just send emails to each other and that doesn't earn them anything, what more for messages being exchanged in this site privately between two members here?

What has happened to people here in this discussion? I read all of them and it looks as if people are in a holidaying mood here. Very short and off topic responses. Now does that look as if I am complaining?

yeah I guess the purpose of this discussion was to bring all of your friends together to have some fun time together. And look, I forgot to answer the question myself about the discussion you have posted presently. For my answer is same as many others before me who said it. "I don't think that sending messages comes under the term of 'participation' and hence they won't earn you anything. And also had it been the case then it would have become the taregt of spam, which actually defeats its purpose, being a private message and all." Hope you got that.

hello friend, I don't think if can earn private message. But what i know is that we can't earn from it. Because that is a part of our private matters. As I read on the ToS and the guidelines I noted that private message is only a private message. I don't know I mistakenly read it. Just refer to the guidelines, my dear friend. You can learn about the rule here....take care and have a great day!

i guess a lot of us don't read it.. that's why we often get into trouble. mike up there had been with myLot for tooooooooooo long... he knows every single word in the FAQ and TOS i guess.. he can answer everybody's questions. well im still a newbie, that is......

No. But I do know that you do earn as per normal if you answer to news and stuff like that. As for blogs, I think it's the normal thing too. You will earn as though you are answering a discussion. That's what I realize so far..

Hello patofgold, this was a nice discussion. I'm wondering about the same thing, Though part of me believe that we really don't earn from private messages. And reading a few response from discussion, enlightened me with it . Take care!

hi red..most of the responses i got says we dont earn aything from the PMs...and I guess since they have been around longer than me... i have to believe them... i dont read the Faqs...lolz

Not a bad idea though. But I think private messaging is provided so that members on myLot can interact privately and talk about things other than just their discussions and responses. No I don't think we get paid for private messaging on myLot.

yeah i guess you're right... i'm not that old in myLot yet.. so much to learn!

I do not send very many privet messages, and i do not know if they go towards our earnings or not. We get earnings for posting, and i do not know if it is considered posting or not.
• Philippines
26 Aug 09
i guess we don't dlr.. i got a lot of responses saying we don't so i guess so now.....i'm not as old here like the rest, so i trust everybody else

Definitely no, it is doesn't affect our earning, if i receive some private messages, i just read it and don't reply on it, i myself doesn't write private message to others.
• Philippines
26 Aug 09
i do not use the private messaging that much either..unless if need to respond to messgaes. yet everytime i do, that rolls into my mind.. if we earn from it or not? but hey, a=with all the responses, i know now.
• India
26 Aug 09
That is a misconception.We don't get earnings for private messages.But only for response to discussions.You should visit the FAQ section of mylot.
• Philippines
26 Aug 09
i did read the FAQ before i joined,, i must have missed it, or i guess i did not read the whole thing............ too lazy for that....... but at least now I know ...with all these responses, who wouldnt be \convinced/?

I don't think private massage is counted in our earnings. Private message is for private correspondence with any friend of myLot.

i did try it yesterday...my points didnt go up after sending a few private messages,so i guess it's really a no

I didn't think so. When I look at this topic, I thought it paid but I look at other mylotters' responses then I realized a NO. It would not do anything for me anyway because Idon't send private message at all..

yeah..mermaid. i got a lot of responses saying we don't.. so im soooooooo convinced now lolz

Hi patofgold, They definitely wouldn't pay us to use the private messages. They only pay for our post in the discussion. That's why you can say there is no rule in the private messages. You can send your personal link, use your native languages, anything. All the things that violated the guidelines can be used in the private messages.

oh..yea..that's why...............hmm tnx akul!

I do not think we could make money from our private messages. Because I have pay attention to whether my private messages will affect my earnings, and I find that it has nothing to do with it. So maybe just discussions count in.

yea..i guess it's only the discussions thanks colyd!
