Hi guys!
What tips can you give me and the other members to increase our MyLot earnings? I'm sure there are many who are eager to earn from MyLot. That's probably the first reason why they are here.
Anyway, as for me I used to create 0-2 topics a day and participate in just a few discussions. That does not translate to a lot of cents. However, I still earn a few so I am happy. Now, I'm trying to create more and I'll see if this changes my performance with this site.

MyLot answer your question here:
http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14
You must realise that myLot is for DISCUSSIONS and is not a question and answer site. Posting a topic is one thing. Creating a discussion is something else but THAT is what we earn for here.
You should go back to your started topics and add comments to those who respond, comments that further the topic and get a discussion going. It is not a case of agreeing or saying 'thank you' to those who respond. That will not earn for you.
You do not earn anything for the responses that others post on your topics, they do. You earn when you comment to them because YOU only earn for your own activity here.

Hello Beingwell,
If earning is the first reason to be here for some users, they should do more to improve their earnings. If they only start discussions and leave it like that, this won't earn too much for them.
You asked for tips; here's my tip: take your time to watch what a successful myLotter does here. Follow her/his activity and see why do they reach the payout each month.
Then all you have to do is follow their example and see how your earnings will change.

Very good advice inu. If someone could keep up with Hatley or HardWorkingGurl they would see good examples of consistent earning. They would see interesting people who care to respond to others and who are open to learning more about others while they earn. When I see you in discussions you seem to be doing well, and I look forward to seeing you around the lot for a long time.

Thanks for the advise, inu. Actually, I think I may have been doing it already. I'm seeing a lot of HardworkingGurl and you as well, GardenGerty. And I've been trying to be more active here in MyLot.

This question is answered in the FAQs here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14
Just make sure that you know and observe the Guidelines and make sure that your responses and comments (and discussions) are descriptive, relevant, helpful and of good quality.
You can also earn by posting relevant images in discussions and Interests (but see the Photo Guidelines: http://www.mylot.com/o/photoguidelines.aspx ), by using MyLot Search as you would any search engine and also to search MyLot discussions and by doing any tasks you feel you are able to do.

Unless you interact with the people on your discussions, leaving them comments and having real discussions, you will not really see much improvement in earnings. I think the advice you will receive from many is to have fun and communicate and participate and you will earn.

I guess alot of people have already said what I am about to say but I will reinforce it...it's all about participation - the more you participate = the more you earn however, it's about the quality of your posts too not just quantity...you will find that you will earn just a tad bit more for a quality post that you will for just a one liner, etc.

I don't know how to earn reasonable amount per day here in mylot. Others said that post more on discussion and if someone replies then you should comment back too. You could also use the search bar and post some pictures because mylot pays us for our activities here. The more active you are, the more money you will earn. Have a nice day!

Others say that because that is what is required to earn here, as you can see from my response above.

In 4 years since I joined I think I have uploaded at the most a total of 10 images here but I reach payout each month. Discussions are where the earnings are here so just continue to participate and you will not be disappointed

Thanks for welcoming me mysdianait. All I can do is to post comments on discussion and respond back to my respondent because I use mylot on myphone. Uploading images is disabled because my phone is a old model one. I already read the FAQ before I register here. Thanks and have a nice day.

To earn a decent amount here I do several things. I post frequently on other peoples topics as well as start my own discussions. I tend to research a topic that I am most interested in using the search bar and then post on what comes up. You wont make a ton of money here a day but you can make a decent amount if you spend a little time here each day.

Oh nice! Thanks oscar! I join topics that interest me, as well. It's difficult to share on something that we don't have knowledge on.

I would first advise you to read the FAQs so you know what is going on. Start interesting discussions and add photos to them. You get paid for what you do not anybody elses work. And you can ear some from using the Mylot search engine as well. I have my discussions responses and friend's discussions sent to me through my email and then I pick up more on the site.

I am guessing that once you see the results (in tomorrow's upidate, not in the next one) you will be back here adding even more to these responses

Yes, I do these things now. Well, I used to do one or two of these already and I know the results I'm getting from that. Now, I'm trying to do most of your advise and see how effective it'll be for me. Thanks celtic!

For me, i think the best way is, replying to discussions. I feel easier to earn that way and had been earning quite good recently as compared to my previous experience. After all, listen more to Mysd, she is an experienced mylotter who gives lots of useful advices. I even started to take my time to comment back one by one of my very old discussions. Don't be surprised to see my old discussions started to re-appear again....Happy mylotting.....

It's never too late to comment back tot them
You will also probably get new responses appearing too becuase they will reappear at the top of the lists on 'recent' and 'similar topics' too.
You might have to be busier than you think!

That's right mys. Every time I respond to one of my discussions, it goes back on the top of the list.

Hi beingwell,
As many have iterated we only earn when we participate. Therefore, creating discussions and having us respond to them means we are the ones typing therefore, we are the only ones earning.
Unless you the discussion starter comments back to each responder you are not earning. It is definitely not compulsory to comment back to all responders but keep in mind that just because they responded does not mean you earned from their response.
The tip here is that I type, I earn. You type you earn.
Hope this also helps along with many other great tips I see on the discussion.

What a nice way to summarize it all - I type, I earn! You type, you earn! Indeed!

I would say, just do as much as you can, don't get burned out on the site, just write or do tasks when you feel like it.

Hi, Beingwell...
Based on my personal myLot experience, I earned more by using the search engine of myLot. I still have to find out what kind of discussion posts earn well, I read before that it will require 200 words before a post will be credited some earning, then I also read that it is the quality of the post. I hope to learn from the discussion that you posted if the earning per post vary, and whether it is based on quantity or quality... be well...

"I read before that it will require 200 words before a post will be credited some earning"
You did not read that in the FAQs therefore you can be certain that it is NOT a requirement by myLot.
Sadly you will see many false statements made by clueless people, either to entìce others to join or even here in the discussions. They think that they will earn something by giving out nonsensical advice but that is not the case as sooner or later their posts are deleted.

Even if MysD knows the answer (probably, based on personal experience, every myLotter has an idea about how much a response/comment could earn for us), nobody will tell you. Because we're advised not to post anything that inaccurately explains the myLot earnings algorithm. http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx

Go back to the beginning of this discussion and read through all of the responses and ocmments and you will see what is required here. MyLot is a discussion site and we earn for discussing - logical eh?
Make sure that you read the Guidelines and the FAQs so that ou do not waste your time doing the wrong things or in the wrong places:

it is not important that more discussion you have started or more response you have made. but make long and valuable discussion or response at least 3 sentences. when anyone like i respond your discussion then comment them like me. read faq for more earning.
