You know, the problem with people who get on this site is that many are only driven by money. Then, when they don't get what they want, they are disappointed. Many people fail to read the terms and conditions of this site simply because they are driven to earn as soon as possible. I suggest that you read the terms and guidelines before you accuse mylot of stealing money. They do NOT pay you for every respond you get to your post. They do not pay YOU when other people reply to your posts.

You both make such excellent points here! When a user joins they should at the very least make themselves familiar with how it works. If they do not do that then it is not the site at fault but themselves and they only have themselves to blame when things do not turn out the way they think that they should! It seems that even online a bad worker blames his tools

hello.. if you did get 40 responses on one of your discussion, were you able to also interact with the people who posted in your discussion? i think mylot is pretty fair. the basis for payment is, you need to post a discussion and then interact with those people who posted on your discussion too. plus, if you do have pictures and have some people made a comment on those pictures..then they will also credit that.. in addition to what you have earned, you can also go to tasks and complete the tasks that has been accepted. thats way a lot of earnings..

Shambhukumar you have got it soooooo wrong about how myLot works I checked out that link and see you rcived 41 responses. You conceded 3 of them your time and effort later. That is not even 10% of the responses If you start a discussion you only receive earnings if it receives 2 responses (or 1 response + 1 comment). All the other responses, whether there are 10 or 100 or 1000 will not earn anything for you. We earn for our own activity on myLot and not for the activity pf others. YOU earn for what YOU post and others earn for what they post so those who responded will earn for their response NOT YOU! You can now earn if you go back and comment (which is also a sign of respect and the point of a discussion in the first place) to all those responses. That is how YOU earn from a discussion. It is not that myLot has not credited you for your work - there is hardly any of your own work on that discussion. It is all the work of others!

Bravo Mysdianna! You give a very good explanation ! Hope he got more understand now! And don't go and blame and blame again! LOL. When I first join Mylot, I was happy when I receive so many responses from my discussion. I didn't realize I need to reply back to them in order to earn. After a very experience oldies explain to me, I have know much more! So you should be glad that so many members are around here to help you ! Let's start to comments back on your discussion. You will surprise to see your earning increase by your own participation!

Ok look how many post that i have i think it is around 335. Now when i first started with this site i thought that i would just post half done work and not well thought of information. Well now that i am really getting in to my post and posting more than one sentence i tend to get more. I have yet to reach a pay out. Now if i were you when you reply to someone's post think about what you are saying then reply do not just write some BS that will not help the user. Be thought full with what you right they have to hard when judging what is good and what is not. After all we are getting paid for this. So make replies long and the have to make some sort of sense. Also you can do tasks which you can make up to $4 off of one task. Happy Mylotting.

.....shambhukumar.... All of the advice given is right on point. You can't start a "discussion" and not discuss anything. The amount of comments you received was great, but you didn't reply to any except three. So you were not credited because you did not participate. Simple as that. If it hasn't been that long, you should go and respond to all those people. Message to evaotta, the task you want to look for is Sharon Bucks, you write six paragraphs on different subjects,if approved you receive four dollars. Great way to increase your earnings.

I am also new here, but I didn't expect money to be flowing in right away, then it would be too easy.... You know?! But are there really tasks that pay $4?? I haven't seen that yet. Only .10 per task so far. What do they $4 once require you to do? Just curious

41 response and he commente on... 3 That means that the discussion was not his work but the work of others and that those others will be the ones who earn for it.

Diana, You said everything. There´s nothing for us to respond. But can´t help wondering how aulius did not take advantage of a post that gives that incredible amount of answers! The basic problem with newbies is that they read the rules and guidances of the site after they have a lot of problems. I wonder if the site could put a note at the registering page: "READ THE RULES" As for you, aulius, this post is a perfect way for you to have activity and get paid for it. Get into the conversation and share your thoughts about what we are saying. Happy posting, everyone!

0k dear well I beleive you are new in mylot but I will tell you bcz I had same question when I started First when you post quality responses to other discusssion so you will be paid and it is secret no body knows that how much we get to post per response .it is depend on quality parameter of my lot Second you will not be paid if you get responses of your discussion ,you will be paid in that sitution when you will comment {response} on those responses .Remember here no body works for other so you will be paid for your work see the main fundamental to make money here is that the more you post ,the more you earn and try to make friends ,take part in task so you will make money

It's all about the quality. If you start a discussion you have to make it a discussion. If you don't then you only get paid for the first 2 responses. You should make quality discussions and not things like "what's your favorite color?" & things like that. In your responses...get into it and be detailed. I've been here for a long while and I know that mylot is not stealing your money. I've never had a problem. Read thru the FAQ and guidelines and I'm sure y ou'll do a lot better.

First of all, we don't know what mylot pays for each response, siscussion or comment. It all depends on each individual and whethery they post quality or not. To speculate what we get paid, is against the TOS. Pleas read them so you know what you can and discuss in here. Secondly, in order to earn in here, you must be active and particpate in discussions. As I posted above, you need to post quality as that is what our earnings are based on. If you don't post quality and just few words, then you don't earn anything. The longer you can make your posts, the better , as you will earn more for uality than quantity. Most think that all you have to do is post 100 posts a day, they would mae a $1. Well, I am here to say, not necessarily. When you post in here, you need to do less and have quality, and you will get better earnings. Thirdly, whenever, you start a discussion, it is in your best interest to post comments, as you are only paid for your activity and nt the activity of others. If you don't comment back, you can't expct anything, and you won't get it either. You can have 100 or so responses to a discussion, and ot comment to any of them, and you won't earn. Unless you don't want to earn, then don't post comments and you won't. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
