People saying is My lot is better than Pay to click site. But not for me.
I have more than 100 topic and I don't have fortune. Maybe for somebody who know very good English this site is all right , but for me who must really thing what write is not. It is take time to find good topic to answer and some time to respond for it, and get just 1 cent for this.
So for my this site is just good for practice my language not for make money. How about you? Do you think I'm wrong?

Many new Lottes make the mistake of thinking that myLot is for questions and responses. It is a DISCUSSION site and it is not enough just to respond. If you go back and comment again and again that becomes a discussion.
MyLot tell us:
" [i]Use myLot, post discussions, respond to discussions, comment on discussions, or perform searches.
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[/i] "
http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14
Once you start doing that instead of just posting only responses then you will start to see better results and cents adding up too

I'm trying respond for my post but later nobody respond for my post , so this is very short discussion. I think no many read the faqs , even my I did,t read at first. So no body know that should be discussion, and many people just put post and that it.

Many people so just put posts and that's that - then they complain that they are not earning
Join in discussions that you find interesting and get back and comment whenever anyone comments on your response. Add some users as friends when yu see that you enjoy their discussions and that they commment to you, giving you the opportunity to type back to them - and earn

Yeah I totally agree. As most of us are actually students, or have a career, we don't usually have time to actually be active all day long on mylot. I myself only mylot an hour per day, and that's not much. But it's okay, because you don't earn a thing on facebook or myspace. And those other social networking sites do not help us in improving our English either. Look on the bright side, and love what you do marcinwise :)

It is true what you say about facebook and myspace they don't pay as. But nobody tell me when I register there I can received a lot of money. And somebody tell me that when I register here. Now I'm know it isn't true. I enjoy this site because I can proof my English so now I will not concentrate for money just for fan.

If you worry about earning money and making a living on Mylot you will either be disappointed or have very sore fingers!
Just join in the discussions and enjoy yourself. Write a decent length reply each time and the cents will come.
With 110 posts you will only have earned about a dollar tops so you have a long way to go yet to payout. So, just have fun here.

Did you know that it is possible to reach payout with only 2 as your reputation by your username?
If you start one discussion and spend the whole time commenting backwards and forwards on the responses and don't post anywhere else, you could make payout too.

I love theory - it allows you to do anything! haha
I just go by the evidence you see on Mylot discussions before they get deleted.
700 posts seems to be about average at the moment for first payout.

It's not enough to start a topic in myLot and just wait for the responses. When someone responds to your topic, you should also reply to their comments. And of course, your comments should also help further the discussion, so a simple "Thank You" would not suffice. That's why topics here are called "Discussions" because you have to interact with commenters, too.
I also believe that myLot is not a get-rich-quick site. You also have to work, and I mean write and participate more, so you can receive earnings.
Most of all, enjoy your time here. As you said, participating in discussions will help you practice using the English language. Just create discussions, respond to topics, respond to responses, and make friends with members here in myLot.

Hi marcinwise,
Actually, I am not that good in English either but I am trying to do my best to post a discussion here. What you mentioned about the benefits of mylot in a language learner is true. Through mylotting we can improve more of our English language. Well, the key to good earnings is loving what you are doing. Everyone knows that mylot doesn't pay big amount of money in an instant. Having $10 a month is very hard to earn because you must be always active here. In fact, I always fail to reach $10 because sometimes I got so busy.Anyway, if you have the enthusiasm in participating here, you won't be bothered much on your earnings. Remember that when you started a discussion, it is your responsibility to make it active. Although you can earn if you got higher number of responses, you will earn more if you respond to them in such a meaningful and informative way. Just saying "Thanks" or "Happy mylotting" after one person responded on you will not do anything to increase more of your earnings.You can also do task, refer people, upload photos and use the mylot search button to optimize your earnings.

Well marcinwise, I agree with you. But at least what ever you earn, you could redeem it through Paypal. While this is not the case with me here. i am from Pakistan and unfortunately Paypal is not available so that means I cannot earn a single penny from Mylot.
Then you must be wondering what I am doing here in Mylot. Though I came here in Mylot for earning, But mylot is not just about earning. You make friends here, can discuss your problems, can give your opinions and increase your never-ending knowledge.. So my mind have changed. I am basically active here to increase my knowledge. . .
Happy Mylotting....

It is shame you don't have Paypal available in Pakistan. Maybe you should write to admin of this site and suggest to made some thing whose is available in your country.
Yes it is true we can find here a lot of friends from different country what is good thing.

Are you polish out of interest?
I like mylot, I'm not here exactly to make anything from the site. I joined originally to see if I could locate members for my site and feel for the excitement that comes with communicating openly. Back then there was many decent discussions being posted and there was a wealth of interesting opinions, things since my 2 year break have slightly changed.
Mylot is an awkward system to figure, it's appears different for everyone and I don't think your wrong. You entitled to your opinion :)
For me I understand a lot of what I do and what mylot likes me to do, so I can easily it my little targets. (I give myself little games) Try playing around, if you learn what's what you never know you might increase your earnings and be happy with them.

hi marcin. mylot is not only making or starting discussions or topics. mylot is a two way traffic fun site. if you wish to earn better, you not only start your lots of topics but you must also response to other members' discussions. when someone respond to your discussion, try to comment back to them. answer their questions if they have or if they are looking fro clarifications with the subject. poor english is not a hindrance to all of us. i am also not good in english but i always try to deliver to the best of my knowledge. give more explanation to the subject if you cannot say it in one word. this is how i work on mylot, which satisfies me, which make me stay on the site for more than two years.

This is not a site to get rich, but a social site. I can see you are not satisfied because you are expecting something that the site is not offering. If you want a fortune, the only wat I can imagine id to win the lottery

the discussion was made 1 years ago, and i think the people who make is not active anymore here..
even that, i still respond it..

Dear marcin,
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, dear marcin, you are not being wise when you criticize my lot.
First of all, who told you that you are being paid only 1cents????
No, my lot uses complex algorithm method to calculate payments and this depends not on the length of your discussion, but on the quality of your discussion.
You better use more pictures in your discussions, then automatically, your earnings will increase.
You can also do more 'tasks' which will help you increase earnings.
My lot is a slow starter, but once you start, you will stick with it.

You cant enjoy this site until you come out of your mind set that your language is damn poor....all you gotto do is just respond to as many discussions as possible and you would notice the change in your earnings and in the way you enjoy this site then.you wouldnt make fortune in here---if you can spend more time then it isnt quiet difficult for you to make a dollar each day.so keep your selves busy and enjoy this site.I dont think people in here rude enough to pinpoint your poor language skills so be yourself in the discussions and people would start loving you.great day.

Apart from the idea of making money, I really appreciate your effort to develop your English language.
For your information, language is not a barrier at all as long as you reply a discussion and make yourself clear what is your point. Don't be upset saying it is your misfortune. Try to put all those 100 topics one after another and who knows, you may be rewarded at least to 50% of your discussions, if not to 100%
Not only you decide to improve your English through mylot, but refer always to a good Dictionary while you edit your post before submission. Read more and more so that you get yourself well versed in the writing style without much of grammar or spelling mistakes.
Good Luck.

i think to get the most from mylot you need to make a lot of firends. so this way you have a bunch of topics to pick from and answer. no you are not going to get rich here, but yes you can make payout of $10 each month. and hey, if it helps you to read and write english better isn't it all worth it anyway?

The best way forward with myLot is to keep working with it, and telling your friends about it, so that you can get referrals. You already find that it is a good way to practice your English, so that is a good point. You can also start a free blog and perhaps join up with twitter or other social networks.
What I do is just support others whenever I can and enjoy doing so. Money on the Internet is slow to build up, but there are people I know who have really made it work for them.. Keep going and good luck. _Derek

Here in my lot, spellings & grammars are not really needed here. the only thing that matter here is the thoughts and ideas of each user about the topics/discussion that you give. so don't mind if you don't know how to speak english well. also am I, I'm not really good at this but still I'm trying my best. So just practice and have some fun with this.
Good luck....

Actually Mylot is not a website which you can earn a lot. But I am still satisfied with Mylot because it still pay for us honestly. It is too difficult to earn even if one dollar in Mylot within a day. Perhaps you can try to finish the tasks in Mylot. As at least you can earn from it quickly.
I love China

At least you are being paid. If you want to earn more dont continue on this site or to other sites. But you will be entertained and you will learn your English knowledge more. Good Luck.
