Or are the earnings getting less? I have been on mylot for the past few weeks, and posting many responses, and a couple of discussions, yet I don't see my earnings increasing as rapidly as they were before... Is it just me, or has someone else noticed it as well?

I have noticed this too. This is becoming very discouraging for me.

As soon as they made the recent changes, that's when I noticed it going alot slower. I am glad it's not just me.

Hi Sweetchariot, It's impossible to figure out the earnings scale. Sometimes it seems like a lot and sometimes it seems likevery little earnings on a lot of work. I have to say that if you are here for the money, then you will be disappointed. Somehow and for some great reason, most of us have found Mylot for very different reasons. It's a place to come when something is tearing at your heart strings and you need a friend or many friends to be there for you. I hope you have found that already. I use to try and make the minimum each month and it was just too difficult, besides I quickly found that contact and discussions with my friends was why I truly needed Mylot. Hugs, Leenie

I agree that if anyone is here for the earnings, then they will be sadly dissappointed. But I still check the earnings when I come on. It just seemed that I was earning slower than what I have been.

Hi, Sweetchariot. Yes I have noticed it too. Especially today. I posted at least 70 to 80 post yesterday. I even made about five questions to discuss. And the amount that I received was not what I expected. I felt that for all of my hard work and effort I should have gained an extra 50 to 80 cents. I really put my foot down yesterday. I would love to be rewarded by my work. I wished that I knew how myLot calculated their earnings. But I know that they will honestly pay. I enjoy being here at myLot regardless of the money.

Oh tell me about it! I am in the process of looking for me some extra money as of now. I hope that I can soon find an opportunity that will not have me selling to people. I don't want to buy their products just to make money. I also want an job that I can have more time with my family. I don't want to be on the computer all day long. I really love myLot, but I am trying to find something extra on the side that is going to satisfy me.

I'm glad it's not just me! I understand fully that we aren't going to earn decent money in here, and I know that it's often about friendship, however, I would expect them to tell us when the earnings have changed. And, to be honest, I do try to make the pay out every month. Therefore, if it's going to take me now two months to make pay out instead of 1, it really isn't worth breaking our backs to try to reach it. It will then be all about friendship, because the few cents that is earned for 50 responses, and many posted discussions, it's certainly not worth breaking my back for that. And truthfully, there is alot of other things I can do during the day, then spend it in front of the computer...lol

I don't really notice, maybe they are not getting as much income as they were before, after all that is where the funds come from to pay us. I mostly just do this for fun any way

I'm glad you enjoy it! Although I have alot of fun things I can do, that often don't get done because I try to make payout every month. This will just encourage me to do the other fun things I have put aside. lol

Awww... I will surely miss your presence. Wait! I can do something about it. Let me write a mail to mylot and I am sure they will do something to retain my friend back here! On a serious note, try to be here when you can. Bodhi

Thanks to know, that it's not just me...however, I won't break my back trying to make payout anymore, and it will probably cause me to spend less and less time in here. While I have good friends in here, I am sorry to say, it's always about trying to make payout. There are so many things I can do instead of being on the computer all day long...lol...this will just push me to the edge.

Yeah I think they are getting less I remember my friend made close to twenty cents for ten post and I made less then 10 cents for 10 post so I think they are decreasing there payment maybe its just my imagination but I hope they are not decreasing there pay i'm sure a lot of people will be pretty mad if they cut down on the payment.

No one knows how the earnings are figured, and to even speuclate is a violation fo the TOS. Your earnings all depend on the quality of your posts and how active you are and your participation in the discussions. Every time you post, you should be as descriptive as you can, and they need to have substance. They need to be more than just a few lines or just a few words. Also, when you start any discussions, it is in your best interest to post comments to the responses you receive, as you are only paid for what you do, and not what others do. Some will start discussions, and jut leave them go, and expect to earn, but it just doesn't work that way. I hope I have helped you understand how to earn. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I have been in Mylot for awhile, so I understand the quality of responses or discussions. It just seems that the earnings are slower than it has been during the last couple of weeks.
