I have heard that your rating, the star next to your name, has impact on how much you make. The higher the rating the more the earnigns will go in your favor. I ahve also heard that it depends on how active you are, that includes adding tags as well as rating other people's topics. Also the quality of your response has an impact on how much you get paid per topic. Your spelling and grammar as well as the length of your response will impact your pay. You will receive more if your topic is on the "hot" list and if it becomes popular. You also only have 125 posts, give it time for your rating to go up as well as your topics to gain responses and popularity. I don't pretend to know exacctly how the payout works, but I have heard that these things will increase your earnings. Good luck!

It's all in the FAQs and that is why it is important to read them. We are told: "The DRS (Discussion Rating System) is factored into our proprietary earnings algorithm, so this will help us properly reward valuable contributions to the myLot community." http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx#1

Oh wow that is cool I actully never knew about that rating next to the star wow that is something.

I would have never thought that that is what the rating stars were for. I just thought they were to show people that more people either liked or disliked the persons answers. I will try to improve my rating star. Do you have any suggestions as to how i do so?

I maybe by answering more than 30 a day? I only get 0.014 a day! I only answer to questions that interests me or discussions that I know I can contribute. Otherwise, I skip the discussions altogether. If I know that I will not be able to answer some useful and informative manner, I would rather not say anything than be a know it all. :)

mycol do you comment on the responses you get as thats the only way to make much money on your own discussions as you are NOT PAID FOR OUR RESPONSES TO YOUR DISCUSSIONS ONLY FOR YOUR COMMENTS BACK. do you get 'the picture so comment like crazy as it helps make money. I do not do any referrals and I make a dollar and fory t o fifty cents each day,make your posts at least four lines long so you are making yourself understood, no two words response or one sentence as that does not get you money at all. tasks really do not pay much, add photos to your discussions as you are also paid for them.respond with enough words to make it intelligent you get paid for quality posts.but specially be sure to comment on all our respoonses to you discussions and you will see your earnings climb.

Very good advice Hatley, I try hard to respond back but sometimes I run out of things to say and I seem to be repeating myself a lot which I feel ashamed of typing because this is not a quality response. Well now I'm rambling on just to make it four lines as advised

I think that Hatley's information is the best and the most precious information. I love you friend for posting such precious information. I just don't know that we can earn money via commenting. Thank you very much and enjoy mylotting!

There are several ways to earn here. You have done one way by involved in discussions. You could earn more, faster and bigger money by asking your friends or others to join mylot under your link. If you refer friends here, you earn 25% of your friend earning. For example, if you refer 4 friends to mylot and each could earn $10 a month, you could earn $10 from them a month. I think this is the only way to earn descent money here since if we just work alone, we only could earn $10 or $20 a month. You can find the information about referrals here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14 and http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq14.aspx. However, asking people to come here and to be active is not easy but nothings wrong to try, isn't it?

Ow, that was pity . You have been able to ask your friend joined mylot but they wouldn't active here. I even none of my friends join mylot. They prefer use Facebook and chat useless thing with the others to spend their time. Perhaps, you need to teach them how to earn here. Actually, for new member, it's hard to earn here if they didn't read the discussions guidelines and FAQs first. So, share with your referrals your tips and tricks to earn here. Well, it just my suggestion, actually I myself even couldn't ask my friend to join mylot .

I did know about MyLots infamous referral system. And yes i have tried to get some friends to join, but most of my friends are not like me(computer techie/ everyday internet user) so they usually end up deleting their accounts within the first week or so.

Hahah i figured it was pity the entire time, but i just didnt want to except that my friends would have to do something like that to make me happy. :/ From now on i will only ask friends of mine who are major internet users like me and i will teach them all i can about earning money on here. Thanks for the advice! :D

I also feel the same! I have been working for mylot.com for several hours a day and I only get like 30 cents a day. I envy other people who earn a lot from using mylot. Maybe they have a lot of referrals. I do not have any, so maybe that is why.

Well from what its sounding like from all the other responses on this discussion, you and i both are not working enough. Like commenting on your own discussion, every discussion, is something i did not even think about doing more than anything else.

Hello friend! I earn about a USD dollar per day. See, here are my tips for you to earn more money in myLot - 1. Remember that in myLot you earn money for typing, not for creating discussions with about 0 words written by you. 2. Try to comment on each responds of your in discussion created by you. 3. Make your posts at least 100 words or about 5+ lines long to earn good cash. 4. Refer other members and it will surely increase your earning. 5. Upload the maximum amount of images you can upload in myLot to earn the most. 6. Use the myLot search bar often to get 4-15 cents reward from myLot. 7. Try to finish those tasks if you can. 8. Never insult anyone via your post or never create poll type discussion. 9. I wish you rate "+" to all posts so that people may love you and rate you positive too. Happy mylotting!

Hello mrcol, When I used to be on myLot a couple of years ago, the money could never have come into play. Basically, it is more of a token than a wage (or at least it used to be). I wasn't about to order a new Ferrari off the back of it - that's for sure. I have read your kind of discussion time and time again. You are not alone in this. If it makes you feel a litle better ... when I came back to myLot a couple of days ago, all the money in my account (which I had never withdrawn) had gone. I assume this is part of myLot's user agreement. But the point is; my account balance would just about buy you a 'big mac' if you were lucky. Mate ... don't give up your day job!

Many things have changed since then We can now earn when we use the search and complete tasks. Oh it is in the Terms that if you do not log in for 90 days/three months you lose your earnings.

may be the perception of lot is different for them. The only way one can earn more on mylot is through performing lot of tasks. writing tasks etc. But I don't think we are here on mylot for earning we are here for discussing issues.at least I am.

I have learnt lots of things from here. Thanks to start this discussion...As I'm also new here but thinks only participation can help you earn good. best of luck...happy mylotting..
