After staring at the list of my earnings in this site, boy, I was a bit disappointed. In average, I just earn .10cent per day. Computing, it will take me three (3) long months just to reach the minimum boundary of $10. That is a whole lot of work!
Isn't it too impractical, wasting so much time writing but earn very little?

Hi there,
I took a look in your profile and see why you are not earning and or using myLot the way it is intended. myLot is a discussions site. We only earn for quality content. If you can remember that I earn for the quality I type and you earn for the quality you type I can assure you, that you would not be disappointed.
I noticed you start discussions but you are not participating. You will not earn when others respond to your discussions. Remember they typed. You will only earn for what you type and do keep in mind things like thanks for respond and or thanks is not quality.
Make sure you further discussions, with more then one line. Responding to other discussions with quality certainly earns but if you do not participate in your own not only are you not earning but many do not like responding and not receiving comments back because they often wonder if you even read the response.
This is meant as helpful advice and tomorrow I make one year with myLot and if you see my participation numbers beside my user name you can see that I am very active. My quality activity earns me payout well over the minimum because I participate/type.
Come back to this discussion and I can certainly add more on how to earn here.

hi hardworking gurl!
I do participate in the discussion. Contrary to what you say, I make sure to reply every response I received from the discussion I started. Some, though, I just give a thank you as a sign of courtesy. It is either we have the same opinion or I just have nothing to say.
One thing that I observed also from this site, I have no way of knowing whether or not the author of the discussion has replied to my comment. There should be a notification sign which will notify all those who participated that a new entry or comment is made. You see, I have no luxury of staring at this laptop the entire time. I just open this site during slack time. I hope the 'organizer' (sorry for the term) will read this and maybe adopt my suggestion.
Happy mylotting to all!

Hey there, she needs to participate though. Not commenting in her discussions will not earn, no matter how much more time she applies.
We can help and encourage her but we need her to come back to the discussion.

Hi jahernandezrivaz!
Thank you for encouraging me to continue using myLot.
I am enjoying here, but I am just making a suggestion to myLot. Who knows? they would listen to me and raise the pay! Everyone will benefit, including you. LOL.
Despite my meager earning everyday, I will stay.

hi hot_legs15,
I guess you need to be more crazy active before you can reach the minimum payout. LOL! To be honest, I enjoy being here in mylot merely because of the enjoyment of sharing ideas and learning from others. I used to earn .50 to almost a dollar every single day because then I was not that busy but now, earning .10 is like an achievement already. Haha! If you want to earn a lot, just contribute more and make quality discussions and responses like what you have started. I know you'll reach your payout very soon.
Happy Lotting!

Hello dear , I am also in the same condition like you , but some of our friends in this site aren't like us , they earn much and much here ! And another thing don't ever put up discussions that deals with earnings

Yes, hotlegs. during my early times here back in 2008, when ever the mylotter receives the pay out, they would create a discussion out of it. but one day the admin banned it because it's more like a spamming topic that is more personal and make other people envious. just don't make a discussion if you're topic is about "i got paid"

Why? Is there a prohibition not to start a discussion on earnings? I hope not.

.10 per day. I wish I had the time to come online and make that. lol. It took me almost 8 months to reach my first payout. If you do it in 3 your ahead of the game. I come on and write because I enjoy writing. The earnings are only a nice bonus. I think if your planning to make a lot of money here, your in the wrong place. While you can make more than .10, it takes time. Hope you don't get discouraged.

yes 8 months. In the past month I have been doing about .02 per day. lol But there are times when I have done 1.25 in one day. varies. Glad you lightened up. You'll have more fun that way. Besides, there are thousands of earning sites so you won't have a shortage of sites to choose from to earn.

My enthusiasm to write and participate in this site was lightened up after receiving several responses and advices from my fellow mylotters. lol.
Really, it took you 8 months for your first pay out? Wow, that is loooong.

yeah, sharing ideas is fun too aside from making money. But it would be a lot better, if the pay would be increased. lol.
I guess, I just have to type, and type, to earn more.

Hello! In fact in mylot more is a form of communication, and the knowledge of the friends from all over the world. At the same time, also can earn some money. I think, mylot really is a great site, good communication platform. I'm more and more like mylot. Almost every day I want to come here. Really, in the very happy here. Hope you also more and more like mylot.

I see that you're still new here. Well, it's better than most of the sites except that oDesk and other more work sites are better because they give off a higher pay. There was once that I got $0.90 in one day. But I guess that time was because I did not have anything good to do. I love it here because you could socialize with people. Money seems to be like nothing here. I came here to have fun. I love this site too because it is for students like me.

i'm sorry for your disappointment, but i may say that mylot is a nice place and site to learn new things and to share different points of view from different people in different world, i think that was a lot more worthwhile your stay here in my lot than just to earn money, earning money is just an option and benefits, what's more important is your chance to meet a lot of people and to express yourself without boundaries.... just try to interact with mylotters and before you knew it you enjoy the community more than you enjoy the benefit of earning..
have a great day and enjoy mylotting

Hello xien2xien!
Point well taken. That is my realization for today. The earnings and benefits are not the primary factors in using this site. Interacting and discussing ideas are fun and entertaining. It is also stimulating to our brain, right?

It definately is slow progress but there will be a time in future when all the balance accumulates and then you can withdraw all that and buy yourself something good and it will surely make you happy and you will enjoy it. Even I am new here but on my day off I plan to participate in a lot of discussions cause I know that one day will come when $10 grows to $20 and so on. So dont give up, motivate yourself and you will enjoy teh reward. cheers

I do agree that it would take a looooooong time to earn your payout but then if you just enjoy doing it you will barely notice the passing time. I'm actually here because I just want to meet new friends and try to earn money along the way. I have a blog and to get traffic you need a looot of friends. I'm new in here too.

Hi LadyKrishna!
Can I add you as my friend?
Like you too, I want to meet new friend and share ideas. Perhaps, I will not focus on the earnings. just let things be. Anyways, I have a stable job. This is just another hobby whenever I have slack time in work.
I am just making a suggestion to the organizer of myLot. Maybe they could here my plea and they would increase the pay. There's nothing to lose anyway. lol

For real? It takes that long to earn money here? Are there any tips to earn more money faster?

That is a good advice dyingbeauty!
Still, this is not a site to earn big but a site to socialize, write, and discuss ideas.
I agree with ptower, if you are looking to earn more, this is just the wrong place. Benefits are just an added bonus.

i think i & you are in the same boat I too facing problem in getting money from MYLOT after lot of opinions i put on several discussions for 4 days i could manage approximately like your earning trend. Does it happen with every one or there are some MYLOTIANs who are earning more than this please share so that we acn also try the same methods as it seams the way the things are going on it will take approximately 4 months to reach $10.
MYLOT should think over to increase rates as it seams these are rates from last 10 years which are still being followed up. MYLOT please look at it compare the rates with the inflation rates to motivate members/to attarct more people.

If you create informative and long type of discussion then you will earn more than ten cents per day.If you try to be much more talkative in here then you will earn more.There are mylotters that I know here that 10 dollars is very easy for them to earn as the quality of the comments they give as well the discussions that they are making makes long conversation.Something that's interesting to talk about always gain the nice rewards.I can't say it's not wasting time if you don't enjoy the community then no one force you to be around.This place is awesome especially like me,I have questions and need answers from my fellow mylotters,It's interesting.You will not earn a dime here if you will think of the rewards everyday.1 hour or 2 hours is not really that much of time compare to nothing and just to think no one will pay you conversation in reality in case you are celebrity then every word is expensive.Just like what I'm doing right now,I am writing like paragraphs already but I don't feel I'm wasting my time since I stick to my interest especially questions your making will make a dime for commentors.

I think I average even less than 10 cents per day here... but yesterday, I set a goal for myself and participated in about 30 discussions or so. I got 40 cents! Yay! =D That's the highest I got for participation in a day here.
Anyway, definitely the more you participate, the higher your earnings will be. And make it a habit to use the search bar here and you will get that occasional (yet helpful) reward. =)
I think if you try to set a goal similar to what I did, and you stick with it, you'll be able to reach that $10 more quickly. And when you do, you might change your mind about it being too impractical. ;)
Have a nice day! =)

Well, I suggest that you ask a lot of questions and answer a lot of questions. Make at least 40 cents per day and you'll see how much your earnings go up quickly.

If you spend about two to three hours answering relevant discussions your earnings will increase. People herein guide us very well. I am also active for the last one week only and I have earned nearing $2. I am doing this because I am not having any other important thing right now. So it depends on one's preferences. If you can work and get better than this automatically you will allot suitable timing for this.
have a good day

Hi hot_legs you mentioned that you earn very little money from mylot. Here you can make so many friends and share your views,ideas with them. Money is the not big issue but lot of good people sharing discussions.
