Ok I know part of our earnings here are for making quality posts. What exactly does this include, does it have to be a certain length? Does it help to + or - peoples posts also, and do tags matter. do you get more for taking the time to tag your posts. Unless I am the discussion starter I usually don't take the time to tag my posts. What about you? so can anyone answer these few questions? how do we get paid on here I am just curious. I am here for more then just the pay lol.

'Quailty' is probably not only used to describe a single post, whether it is a response or a comment, but also the entire dicussion.
If a user starts a discussion and then receives responses but does not go back and comment on them, as well as not earning anything from them (those that post them will earn for posting them), it is merely a question with a series of answers and not a discussion.
In the FAQS there is something which many users seem unaware of and I feel that is is extremely relevant:
"Post quality content. For example, generate discussions that engage other users and provide insightful responses and comments to other users discussions to further the topic"

Did you notice the column on the right 'similar discussions'?
All those discussions have tags like the one that you have open. The discussion at the top of that list is the one with the most recent activity. Therefore tags ARE important in order to get your discussion seen by others and not only when searching.

If you start a discussion and add your own tags,
you can then add the same tags on a relevant topic to which you respond
then you comment on your own discussion, causing it to be active,
and it will appear on the right of the discussion on which you responded if the tags are similar.
You don't get credit? ALL your activity earns for you (as long as it is within the Guidelines) regardless of whether it causes your number to increase or not.

I think that it is a great idea for the post to be judged on quality. Just being totally honest with you, as a reader, it does get very aggravating trying to read a post in which many words are misspelled or the content makes no sense. And just from a business perspective and from an observation that I have made from a site that I use just for posting poetry. No, it isn't a poetry site but actually a dating site and when I just was getting there it was in the early stages of start up. And observing the content and language that was there, it was offensive to say the least. After a few years and more popularity that was gained, the owner became more strict as he wanted to be more marketable. So, as most of us are here trying to make money, isn't it more beneficial for us all to have good quality posts to draw more interest in the site and more members which in turn means more money to spread around. And it important that when a viewer drops by that he or she something that he or she enjoys and would want to join in? In the end, we all benefit from having clear posts with good spelling and grammar. It is kinda easy to see those that are just trying to make money without much conscience. Their works seem hurried.

natnickeep to me a quality post means not one skimpy line but four or fives lines and make them make sense.also do plus people
as it helps your own stars,tags are good too but make quality posts by being clear and to the point but not short sentence as mylot does not pay for one sentence anythings.Just use enough
sentences to describe your discussion and read it to yourself to see if you have it the way you want it. also do comment on all the responses you get on your discussions, you get paid for doing that.

Yeah, I'm with this post as he is a senior member with already 18673 quality posts. So yes, try posting 4-5 sentences per comment. Just make them make sense and understanding yet also try to make the discussion more valuable and they surely will give credit for you from that. All in the end, it comes to your writing skills and determination. So best of luck to you.

I don't think there is an exact way to know how much we get paid for posting. I think the more thorough and lengthy your comments are the pay is higher. At least that is my experience. I get about 2 cents a post every time I write 8 lines or more. When I write around 4 lines, I think I get between 1 and 2 cents. I do tag my discussions and my comments as much as possible. I don't think there is any extra monetary incentive in doing so, but I could be wrong. I never plus or minus people, because I welcome all comments and don't want to shun anyone with a minus sign. I was wondering, however, that after a person has been active and written many comments and discussions if their pay rate increases. This is something I would like to know.

No one knows how we get paid and I think it is a topic that can't be discussed here as it is a violation against the Terms of service in this website. I also suggest to keep trying your best and keep your best methods to yourself. I'm sure there are many questions that need answering about earning here but If I gain about 0.01 cent per post then I'm happy. Though I'd be more happier if I can earn more of course but I doubt that is likely to happen.

Ya I know it is against the rules to discuss how much we get and all that, even though I see people do it all the time. but I didn't know we couldn't talk about what a "quality post" was. Ooops.

Quality posts..yes, I am into it but do not know the exact requirements of what the admin expect in a quality post. As long as it is not one liner and has one or two para and the topic is knowledge based then I consider it as quality. It might differs to what the admin construed as quality. Definitely it helps someone's star ranking if you rate them positively. But the rating system in mylot is opened to abuse and is defective. People should not deliberately rate others negative out of spite as it will have heavy consequences on oneself. One should rate others with brain and brown. Tagging is optional but it is important to get people to see your discussions when you tag your posts in the right interest. I enjoy it here but can't deny that I do get excited when am paid for something I enjoy doing.

Hi natnickeep!!!
for me, is that we like to create an article that was favored by many people. If we get a lot of positive feedback so I think these discussions are quality and alive. You have to write long-length, and each paragraph should be informative, minimum of at least four lines. Tagging helps you to connect a similar discussions.
