Hey this question has been boggling my mind for sometime now....
I know that being active and posting,making new friends,improving the quality of your responses are some good ways of getting to the minimum payout...
But even for a person who does it regularly,how long would it take for him to reach at least $10???
Does your earnings increase if you are ranked better than others in a certain interest???

discussion can earn us good too
actually most of my earning are through discussion try to take part in discussion and be active there comment on other member post, have fun and you would love to see your earning rising here
task can earn us good but there are not many good paying task all the time here like now but maybe in few days those would also get over
referrals to earn from them they need to be active i have more than 30 of them but none of them are active

If you post regularly you should be able to reach the minimum payout monthly with no problems. Just make sure to post quality discussions/responses/comments.
I don't think being ranked higher in the interests helps with your earnings, although I could always be wrong. However, from what I've heard, the better the reputation you have on here (aka your star rating), the better you earn.
Personally speaking, payout varies for me. I've reached $10 as quickly as 2 months before. However, I'm not as active on here as I've been in the past so it's taking longer now. I think it took a year for me to reach payout this last time...maybe longer. Ok, so it was set to a higher amount, but still. At the $25 mark, I could have reached it sooner had I posted more. Good thing I'm not in it for the money anymore, otherwise I would have quit a long time ago! LOL
Happy mylotting!

That may be true for some of the members, like myself, but there are plenty of veterans on here that are dedicated and still participate on a daily basis. Just look at some of the top posters that are on here.

Thank you for clarifying my doubts about the rating stuff...I see that you are here not for the money but for the social stuff...Mylot has been extremely addictive for me both in terms of money and the social side...
From what I read about in the previous posts,most people have already got their first payout and also pretty quickly...After that the momentum kind of slows down...
I can't believe that you were able to get to the 25$ mark within a year...People like you should be more active here and contribute more of your amazing ideas...

This totally depend on you
many mylotter are able to reach payout every month
take part in discussion, create discussion, use search engine, do task , get referrals are some ways to earn from mylot try to do all of them
i have been paid thrice till now and have reach the minimum payout last month so would be paid this 14 again
rating does effect earning member with 2star would earn less compare to member with 10star

there are many 10star one i see daily maybe you would have one too when you reach 100
who knows
for search engine i have made mylot as my default one this would help on how to do that
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2479267.aspx
i feel very lucky as i am able to receive rewards every now and then
just don't use it for rewards use it when you want to search for something and rewards would surely come
i only do those task which i am sure that i can complete honestly
yesterday was my highest got 1.50$ through completing one of the task

Yeah i try to do most of the above mentioned activities...But most of the time, i get the tasks unapproved and i haven't been paid even once for using the search engine...
Good thing that you got paid it kind of make me feel that it is an attainable target for me...i will try to make my posts unique and boost my ratings..Maybe that ought to give me a 9 or 10 star...(Although 10 star ones are pretty rare...)

I've been here for a long time now and been very active. Made loads of discussions, responded to so many discussions, have a lot of friends on here, overall been very active and been apart of this website for a very long time now. I have not even reached payout. I'm only a little above 7 dollars right now and its very frusturating but I do enjoy talking to people on here and I hope I can at least reach the 10 dollar payout sometime this year lol. I spent a year not even making 10 bucks on here after all those hours and hours of work.

thanks. I hope you can make it too. and it wasn't that the discussions weren't answered. most of them got a lot of responses and activity in them, only a few didn't have many posts. I always put a lot of thought into them and people did respond. now I'm pretty much just on because I enjoy talking to people and because I want to reach payout, once I do ( if I do ) lol I'm not sure if I'll keep doing this because it'll take over another year to make another 10.

When you make a discussion,make it unique;something that people are not gonna think of quickly but is interesting and at the same time gives them an opportunity to vent out their ideas...Maybe through some of those discussions(heard it from some veterans here) you might get lots of new friends and also more posts in your discussions...
Besides you could try getting referrals...I just got two of them and they are earning pretty well here...(one of them actually has more posts than me.. lol)..
Good luck and try to make that 10$ fast...

If you plan well and do it accordingly,i don't see why you cannot reach payout in less than a month...From what others have posted here in this discussion,i came to know that people actually make payout in less than a month...Anyway it is not completely about the money else i wouldn't be sticking so much to the script...

Ratings won't speed up your earnings, it's your activity that counts.Some people reach their minimum payout in less than 4 weeks.I believe they do tasks which are like 1-2 $ worth and have enough active referrals here.When I first joined Mylot, I was so slow that it took me several months to accumulate the needed amount.But we didn't have search option and tasks back then.Now it's much better.Let's do some maths.If you make like 0.05 $ daily, for example, it will take 200 days for you to reach the payout,so it's like 6 months.You can do better than that, can't you?:) Good luck!

I haven't enjoyed the luxury of getting many active referrals here but i have managed to do some tasks worth a good amount...
Everyday, i log in and see my earnings rise slowly yet I am happy about it...It gives me the momentum i require to think of varied answers i could give to people here...I hope to do better than 5 posts per day as i have time constrains these days...
But anyway at the end,one does enjoy the new friends they earn here...
So it is not all about the money..
Good day!!!

Well if you are slow or does not have time to posts or respond to discussions,then why don't you try the tasks and get some active referrals???From what i have heard from the veterans here,staying active is not the only way to get money...the other stuff works better than this..

hi chandu,
When I was new here, I have other online jobs. I am just participating here whenever I have free time. As I am expecting money from my other online job, I do not care on when will I get my payout here. I just continue to participate here and enjoy what I am doing here. I think that it took me many months, maybe 4 to 5 months before I reached payout. That was because I do not participate here regularly. But now, my goal here is to get the minimum payout every month.

Using mylot as a booster to your online earnings is pretty good as long as you have some free time to spend here...Hey we all love to get some good answers from the people here and how will it be possible if there aren't many who contribute here???
I think you should enjoy mylotting here rather than looking to reach the minimum payout here as you have an online job already and making good money out of it..

It depends how active you are : I reached 5 times the payout in the first six months last year, only with my participation -- I do rarely tasks -- : it is possible to reach it monthly. You don't earn more if you have a good ranking or no ranking at all in a particular interest, but your star -- you will have a star when you will reach (100) -- has an influence on your earnings.

Whoa 5 times in 6 months seems to be a hard without doing any tasks...It must have taken some good effort from your side in the first 6 months i guess...
I will try to do it on a monthly basis...oh and thanks for clearing the misconception that i had about the rating...
I am looking forward to one of those stars so that i can get better earnings...

Hi there chandu95!!!
It actually depends on how you participate here in mylot.Me it may take two months or more for me to make 10 dollars.Its becoz I only posts/respond to discussions 10 times a day and I also use the search bar to get rewards.Actually big portion of my earnings here came from using the search bar.

Hi
Its depend on us. I mean how we be active here and work here. We can easily reached to that 10$ within a month. Some users are getting paid every month, in fact they are reaching to 20$ every month. So its all about our activity here.
Personally I can reach to 10$ in a month quite easily. Now its up to you. Just keep posting quality post and you can reach to their even more faster.

Many others also said about making more than 10$ per month...Before, it thought that it was not at all possible but then after reading some of your posts,it just gives me a hope that i can reach my first payout pretty fast...I consider it pretty cool to get paid for what i did...

Hmmm...this one is pretty tricky. I should say that it depends. It really depends on how an individual try to earn here in myLot. I have once reached minimum payout already within the first week of the month. Sometimes, it takes me around three months like now. But usually I can reach payout at the third week of the month. That is when I am doing some good paying tasks and is posting actively in discussions. If you are doing responses and discussions only, I estimate it that you can achieve the minimum payout at around the third week already. Couple it with some nice rewards and you can reach it at the second week. It really depends. There are a lot of factors that can affect how you earn and also the earning algorithm here in myLot is unknown. I would just advise you to just go with the natural flow of things and not to think about the earnings that you will get in here. You'll be surprised on how much that will help you earn better here in myLot. Just my two cents in here!

I do agree that it may vary like you have said but if we are good enough in making quality posts and make them in large numbers,I gotta get to the payout fast right???I also do tasks when i am having some free time on myLot or when i think there aren't many discussions that i can respond to ...I haven't got many reward but looking forward to some ...I believe it is the searching that pays right???
I will try and go with the natural flow of things and like you said money is gonna follow...

the more active you are here, more you will earn. Try out tasks which give more money and be present here everyday to start discussions and discuss topics to help you earn more and reach minimum payout level fast.

I do tasks some of the time and try to contribute more in posts rather than tasks as a newbie,i think that people are gonna know about me if i open out and tell them about my views on different topics...Besides, i get money both ways...Also i give importance to posting here and earning..Its more fun...
