i think this is my second if not the third time i started a discussion under mylot. those first ones may be were questions / discussions about how mylot works etc.. etc.. when i'm still a newbie. now, i have my fifteen dollars earning already so am no longer a newbie lol.. but still, i think i still am a newbie because i do not know how to apply for that amount!

It seems that what you are really asking is how you can be paid by MyLot and, unfortunately, the answer is that you cannot because you live in Saudi Arabia. MyLot ONLY pay by PayPal - see: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx and PayPal is only suitable for the countries listed here: http://www.mylot.com/o/ppcountry.aspx Unfortunately, all that you can do is wait until such time as the US Office of Foreign Assets Control allows payments to be made to Saudi Arabia, which I can't see happening any time soon!

I don't know how things work, in that case, but, presumably you have a US bank account (otherwise it would be difficult to live, I imagine). If so, you should be able to open a PayPal account with your US address and your US bank details.

Early on I felt that the myLot interest was specifically for topics which fell under the scope of what myLot was about. With time I do see many start a great deal of different types of discussions under myLot and not necessarily about myLot how to. Which is okay since there really is no rule saying we can't. I too as you have only started maybe 2 - 3 and they were pertaining to directly to myLot. As for how to apply your earnings, as owlwings stated above with a US PayPal account you should be able to have your earnings transferred on payday, providing you place the information in your payment tab up in the preference tab. I would look into the specifics since you are currently studying in the US.

Hello Zills, I am not new now to MYLOT as i joined MYLOT 6 months ago yes when i was new here i was hesitant to start discussions as i used to check it twice and think will i get responses on it or not? but recently i do start lot of discussions about my daily experiences without worrying much about the number of responses. But i always say and feel that to start a discussion is not a difficult task but to keep it going by commenting back is difficult task in itself.There are lot of people including me who starts discussion but don't keep it going due to "n" number of reasons.My reason behind it that i get less time to do MYLOTTING but i always try to comment back to the responses i get in order to oblige responders.

wow. the bottom line, i am very happy in reading responses although i am not good on commenting back. the main reason is that, i am not good in english and i always ran out of words..

I'm been here for quite a while now and I still believe I'm a Mylot noob. I still haven't reached out first payout yet and I too find it very difficult to start a good discussion on Mylot. I hardly ever post a discussion because I find it hard to even think up of a really good topic. My life's been the same and nothing new has happened that I should mention on Mylot. So I prefer to just respond or comment rather than start a discussion. I always get paranoid about no one responding to my discussions. To me, Mylot still holds several secrets that you might not even know of.

I am hardly here for a 2 months or so but feel at home in mylot . I often post discussion if I have any query or on various topics which interest me and most mylotters . Start posting and all your inhibitions will go off soon . It feels great to interact with those who post comments to your discussions . All the best !

So far I have started two discussions here on myLot and got some great responses. I did comment on some. But I wind up reading more than posting. I need to post more all while I am reading.

I have no problem coming up with discussions. I get alot of ideas from work,my family and friends. Sometimes I ask questions and sometimes I am in a lousey mood then I start one. When it comes to my money I make on Mylot I have a Paypal account. Other people or Paypal can explain that!

To start a new discussion is no rocket science.Just imagine and keep an eye on the events around you.Each and every action has some amount of humour or seriousness in it.People love to respond on those topics with which they closely relate themselves.

Hi zills: I don't have many discussions. However, I don't think it's difficult to start a new discussion on the site. My advise to you would be then, don't take it so seriously, just relaxed and think about the subjects you like, something you would love to talk, a question you find interesting, a discussion that sounds original to you, something that makes you feel affectionate, etc. Believe me it works. I guess you may ask yourself questions in your day by day life, that's the main source to start new discussions. Also when you talk with your friends. Think about what you usually talk about. Write these subjects and I'm sure this will help you to be a better topic starter on the site. ALVARO

Yes, I do especially after two of my discussions were deleted. I get a few responses to all my discussions, but now I feel it is a waste of time to start a discussion because I don't know if mylot will delete them or not.

i have never actually posted a discussion on mylot i have always just responded to dicussions giving my thoughts and advice i do not know if i am still considered a newbie or not i have been a member on here for maybe about one month and i still have not figured everything out about the site yet so do you get paid more for posting discussions than just responding to them? because if you do get paid more then i will start a whole slew of them i am here for the money
