What was your (number) when you make 1st payout on myLot?

What everyone else's number was is of not importance to what yours will be. Our activity is different. Some write long posts, some write short ones, Some comment over and over again on the same discussion and it never moves up. Some are not here for the earnings and there is at least one user who had over 3000 before he reached it but as he is in a country not covered by Paypal it is of no importance. Are you aware that some users reach payout with (0)? They just come here to complete the tasks and never particpate in the discussions at all. The star is a major factor too because that affects earnings. Did you also know that it is possible to reach payout with just one discussion? If it receives responses and the starter just comments backwards and forwards over and over again with those who participate, the earnings will add up and there will ne no reason to start another one. DId you also know that this borders on a poll/survey and might be deleted as such by admin? If you start topics with something original to discuss then you will reach your payout too, with a higher or a lower number compared to others, but that is not important.

Actually I'm not here for the money. I think my number is close to 200 right now, and I haven't reached the two dollar mark yet. I think you need to be around 1000 to make your first $10.

The ONLY reliable way of forecasting when you are likely to reach $10 is to look at your average daily earnings. Only you know what your activity pattern is and what is the quality of your participation. Your User Rating is NOT a good guide to how much you or anyone else earns because, in the first place, it is NOT a post count (unless you make no comments in your own discussions or elsewhere). It increases by one for the first response and the first comment you make in any discussion and it doesn't take into account any subsequent posts in that discussion, even though they may count towards your earnings. The UR also only increases by one when you get two responses (or one response and a comment) in a discussion. As MysDianaIT has pointed out, even if someone ONLY participated in the Discussion area, it would be perfectly possible to reach payout by starting just ONE discussion and then just posting comments on the responses. (It would have to be a very good discussion topic with a number of active participants, of course, to be continued for so long but it would be perfectly feasible to reach payout with a UR of just 1 or 2).

I had a high number but that was only because my posts were not of good quality. I think i was posting to get the number back then. But now I think I have done less than 150 posts and I am already about to reach payout. But that is also with a lot of help from tasks.

The number has no relation to the pay out as you can take pay out every month by doing tasks. I realized as much and this month i a m confidently heading for the half century mark and next month onward it will be 100$.

Hi seobuz, I have not reached my first payout though my number is more than 625 but very near to first payout.But it does not depend on the number actually it hardely matters if your number is say 88 you may have got the first payout & be nearer to the second one. I have seen many of the members having so less number but have received the payment. It depends on the other things like if a person is having lots of active referrals & uses search engine frequently & do lot of taks can reach more faster than the person who involve in discussions only.

500 posts and I thinking roughly 60 discussion created.

actually the number beside your name doesn't imply anything about your earning...I have more than 500 now and I have around $4.68 in my account ....to earn more you need to have some good quality discussion..you also can do those tasks available here to earn more.and of course you can use mylot search.
