When you first joined myLot, what misunderstandokgd did you have about myLot? Did you think you only earned from four line responses or thought you'd earn a lot more than you do? Or maybe you thought that you got paid for making discussions only and never replied to the people who responded to yours? We all make mistakes at one point or another, so what's your myLot misunderstanding and how did you fix it? How did you obtain that misinformation in the first place?

I would not say that it was exactly misinformation, but I was confused about what constituted a day on MyLot and would stay up all hours posting and be disappointed when it did not pay that day. I also took a certain phrase in the tos to mean one thing, when it meant something else entirely. I learned mostly by experience. I set up my own personal experiments and tried theories out until I found out what was correct. I read what others had to say and took that to heart as well. Are you under some misunderstandings about MyLot?

Oh wow, that was 4 years ago, I barely remember. Though I did see that I didn't earn as quickly as I thought I would, but after a few months I found that by staying active, I can get a payout every month..:)

Well, like almost everyone I think, I never started out quick. I had to learn the How-To's of mylot. I tried researching and I tried reading stuff to learn how to use Mylot.

Well, when i first used mylot, i was not able to understand it and i earned only 4 cents then i thought that i am wasting my time by surfing mylot as i was new to online earning business. And i stopped using my account as i was not getting enough money. But after 20 or 30 days i signed in here again and understood whole the concept slowly and now after two months i am doing really good. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

Hmmm...I'm not sure. But everyone has gone through a few hiccups when they first joined mylot. I think we should be more understanding, don't you? When I first joined, I didn't even notice the guidelines at the bottom. I joined for a friend so she could get a referral. So I was kind of adrift.

When I was new to this site, I've always thought that I could earn a lot just by spamming discussions which is what some newcomers do here. I've always thought that I can earn quickies until some kind soul enlightened me on this, that I changed my way of thinking.

I don't really remember if I had any misconceptions about Mylot when I first joined. I did want to post, post, post though because I was excited to earn money with Mylot. I think sometimes it can take a while to figure out what a site is all about and I think that's probably what it was like for me. I just can't remember any specific issues that I had or didn't understand about Mylot.

When I discovered MyLot (over a year ago now) I was ecstatic because it was EXACTLY what I needed at the time. Space to ramble on in..and we get loads of that! I remember being scared that no-one would respond to my first discussion but when people started welcoming me it was ace. No wonder it didn't really register what I had to DO to get paid as I was just so happy to be here..and still am. I guess all the rambling has paid off. I have been told "read the guidelines" a few times but I realise people are here to help so that's fine. I never tell others to do that though..I daren't!!!

When I first joined mylot, i though that i will be earnings very quick. like a get rich quick scheme. I also thought that I will be able to earn at least $1 a day but it turns out to be so hard. My lot was actually a place for sharing your thoughts and enjoy while helping or discussing things with other people. That's the main purpose that it should be. How about you, you didn't seem to have told yours? Happy Mylotting though.

One of the misinterpretation i have on mylot when im still new here was when i thought these stars are about ranks and 1 being the highest lol. Now i know it was 10 as the highest level. I should have read more first i guess lol. Now i know what these stars above our name represents.

I can say its not misinformation but it is more of lack of information on my side. Im new here and I am still learning the ins and outs of this site. Im not earning much yet but im enjoying reading and giving my views on certain topics that kills the boredom out of me. I'll just keep on being active here, hopefully I can also earn well just like most of the longtime mylotters.

I barely had much information about MyLot, as the two main thinks I knew were that I could make money and also share thoughts with other members Theres so much to learn about MyLot, and I feel your post has inscribed an earnings rule that was close to being forgotten by me. I'm still a newbie, because I joined four days ago. Misinformation wasn't centered in my learning, as I took first hand experiences to heart. Gradually, my knowledge of MyLot is steadily helping me make a living. Whether it be responses, postings or tasks, this site is one of the best out there, and I congratulate this fantastic organization.

When I joined MyLot a few years ago I was looking for sites that I could earn money from but since getting back online this year I have been using Mylot just to read and discuss. I should take a look into how to earn money with them I suppose.

I can't remember how I came to be on Mylot. Heard about it somewhere. I came on here and didn't read all the guidelines and did make some mistakes early on but I corrected, was never thrown off and have been here about three years. I wish I had heard of several sites earlier and had enjoyed them much more than I have been able to.
