Pay out rate of mylot tasks...

The pay for completing a task is not decided by myLot but by the users who create the tasks. Either they have a tight budget or they think that their tasks do not deserve a higher reward for completing them. Last week I created a task with a reward of 5 cents for simply joining a social site and completing the profile. In my opinion, for the time it took to complete, it was just right. More would have been excessive as I did not ask for anything else to be done after joining.

We have no obligation to do any task, and personally I do tasks rarely at myLot. Some are well paid -- I saw a $5 task for US members recently --, and, speaking of very low paid tasks, I see them more like a service provided by myLot to members than a source of income for this site. If you read the FAQ for task creators, myLot collects only a 20% fee on them with a minimum of $0.01, so in a $0.05 task for 30 members, myLot earns only $0.30, and for these $0.30 verifies the task, pays it, receives and solves the complaints. A lack of rules, like no limit for a creator to validate a task creates certainly more charges to myLot to respond to the workers waiting for a payment than the total income provided by a task. If other sites accepting to create a task for less than $0.10 are rare today, it is because they don't want to sell a service at a loss, not because all their members are ashamed to create a $0.01 task to earn $1.

Tasks are a choice you make - whether you are creating them or fulfilling them. I have NEVER done a task. I just looked at them and NONE are do-able - I don't use facebook, I'm in the wrong country, etc. They are the least significant part of mylot in my opinion and should be removed entirely!

It seems like it is the other users the one setting the rate for myLot task. And thus, the admin cannot really be blamed in this case and perhaps, there's nothing much they can do too.

Hello marinerpulak..! :) Hahahha, i understand what you mean :) I do think that the payout rate of myLot tasks here are much lower compare to other site, that is why i stop doing those myLot jobs :D For doing the same tasks, i can earn much more from microWorkers. So, i prefer to do tasks from microWorkers site rather than myLot. Plus, the tasks here in myLot are sometimes is more complicated compare to microWorkers's tasks. So, i prefer to choose the less complicated task which pay me better rate :D myLot is a place to discuss with others myLot members, doing the tasks just additonal things, thus i think it is up to myLot whether they should increase the payout rate or not. And, it is up to us, happy myLot members, to do those tasks or not :D

that's very right point i was also thinking about this but we alone cannot do anything on that matter well i hope it improves as the time goes

which other site? i haven't seen any other site like mylot yet. maybe what you meant was the rate per activity. i don't know how discussions, comments, etc and the amount of words being posted are rated. all i can see is that my earnings increased by cents. with payout rate, you can configure it from $10-$100.

I have done a few but only if it is a quick simple like in facebook or similar as I do agree the earnings from them are very low. I do like the SharonBucks ones which belong to myLot as those are usually much higher. I have done some for 4 or 5 cents and they did not require much effort, but if I have to research to deliver quality content of some form, I will not do them for the low increments. I saw one recently for $5 from myLot but I did not take advantage of it as I will not download anything to my Laptop. I did see many did do it and that is great for them. But not something I would like to do. It does seem that many are getting lower and lower and as long as members do them they will still be offered.

Good discussion friend really mylot or mylot tasks payout is very less as compare to others. So most of the people not do the works they join only discussions field. Even lots of people are here but everyone wants to increase the payout of mylot.

I somewhat agree with what you're saying. Whenever go to browse through the tasks to make some money, I don't usually see any high paying ones. Usually they're around $0.01-$0.10 and that usually doesn't cut it for me. But then again, the tasks that are assigned are pretty easy. I mean, some of them you usually have to 'Like' a Facebook page, comment on an article, or sign up for a social networking site, like one user mentioned above. But, for the task, it is pretty reasonable. You also have to put into account that myLot is not actually the one that creates the tasks, therefore you shouldn't blame it on them. Usually users of this site create the task and ask other users to complete it for a small incentive. So I guess you can blame the users, or you can go to another site. There is one user, though, that pays a fairly good amount for a task. If you haven't heard, it's the user named SharonBucks that usually asks of people to create articles. They usually range around $2.50, but sometimes the topic of the article is lackluster. But hey, that's what you have to do for the occasional buck sometimes. If you're looking to do solely tasks, then there are other websites and many other options for you to choose from. The main purpose of this site is to start discussions and get a small reward for doing so.

Yes,I think Mylot should impose a minimum threshold of at least of 5 cents to those who want to create tasks because a 1 cent task,no matter how simple it may be,simply doesn't attract users.I used to do more tasks after joining Mylot,but when I realized that the payment was low in most cases I lost my interest in them,so I prefer doing tasks on Microworkers where they are better paid.

I just come here because of it discussion is the best of all site ever on the earth. Except if i missed one of it, not here for the money. The rate is extremely low, and the task also difficult to do some times. But hey working in the internet is like collecting the dust. We must do even it is little and collect it. If you want to collect it. The discussion rate is also uncertain no fix rate here. Just write as much as you can comment and discussion and you will earn much more than you get.

I don't have a problem with the payouts. I think it's all good because i got pay while I'm enjoying the site! :) BUT IF THEY WILL INCREASE THE PAYOUTS IT WILL BE GOOD FOR US. :)

myLot task payouts are decided by the users, not the myLot staff. I don't think many of the tasks are worth the payout. There are some really good paying tasks posted by SharonBucks, who offers in the dollar amounts instead of cents. I've done 3 tasks and earned 40 cents from them, which is pretty good considering the low payout of many of the tasks here. myLot shouldn't enforce a minimum payout rule for tasks because it would discourage many users from posting the tasks in the first place.

Yeah it's quite low. But it isn't myLot's fault. :) Persoanlly, I prefer posting to topics instead of doing those tasks. I get more out of reading people's posts. And I get to interact with most of them even thru our posts. :)

You are correct Mylot pays vey less for tasks as compared to other GPT sites such as microworkers and rapidworkers and sites like these this is because they have a certain minimum amount limit at those sites they need beyond which they cant go any further down but mylot has no minimum amount here users decide the amount they can start a task for signup to a website for $0.01 where as at microworkers you could earn $0.10 for that sort of task.

You are right. I have felt so. For example, you are supposed to write a 500 word article for $0.50 t0 0.80. This is the lowest rate I have seen online ffor an article. I have written article for clients in Freelancer, My minimum earning there is $2.00 and maximum goes up to $5/6. Here only one task I found where you can earn around $2.5 for a 300 word article. And now these kind of tasks are not there. Mylot should do something!
