Have you ever thought of adjusting you minimum payout here on mylot? I've been thinking it out lately, I feel like the $10 payout are so low to get excited, but then something in me holding on. Originally I like the standard of $10 dollar minimum payout here, but so hard also to accumulated it in short time, right now I haven't reach my payout on my third time here but at least it is little by little of my short participation my earnings are keep on coming here. I am planning to make my payout to $50 so that I will push my self to participate more so that I can reach it with excitement also, what do you think mylotters with my idea, is it good or a bad idea?

it can be a good motivating factor but i think it is always safe to set in at $10 so that no matter what happens you'll get your money ASAP. i think your problem is the will to participate more. you have to work on that in other ways, methinks.

yes Bingskee you are right, I am so not excited anymore with what I get at the end of the month, but then I still enjoy chatting, responding and sometimes arguing lol

Hello airkulet, I also had fixed minimum payout as $25 and had reached twice since i joined but lately i don't get much of the time i have decreased it to $10.Bur i am also planning to increase it again to $25~50 because it looks great when we get big money $10 are not much.

I have tried an experiment to earn one dollar in a particular day and it was very demanding of my time. It took ten new discussions, twenty responses and many comments. I don't these days have enough free time to do that again. I used to earn around ten dollars a month a couple of years ago. Now it can take me one and a half months to earn ten dollars. I wouldn't raise the payout to fifty dollars. It would take over six months I guess.

Your idea is no doubt that your idea is a good one as it is nice to receive an accumulated big amount in our paypal a/c but since I am busy with offline activities as well and cannot spend long hours in myLot so it will take months for me to opt for $ 50 . But I appreciate your point of view as it will give you a boost to participate more targetting the amount . Wish you all the best !

It is very difficult for me to earn $10 a month because firstly I spent less time here secondly earning 10$ is really tough here.At first I thought it was very easy to achieve the feat,as time is going on I understood how tough it is to do so.

so don`t use money as your main goal here. be active and you will find money is the bonus for your active here

Hi I think it is better to spend time here enjoying discussions and answers, reading others points of view and sharing....the money comes with it but it does not have to be the only reason pushing us writing here...unless we will get tired quickly enough to quit.

I don't want to set the minimum payout too high. As you know, earning USD10 is already not easy from Mylot. It will take me a few months reaching USD10. It is already a long time. If the minimum payout USD50 can't give me extra bonus, I will not consider to change it. I love China

Hmmm...It will really depend on your preference. As for me, I just keep the standard setting of $10. I do hit it every month before and I also go overboard it at times but I think it is quite a convenient payout for me. At times, I do feel the $10 is quite hard to reach in a month. That is when my activity in here dips due to lots of work and exhaustion already. But I do feel that the $10 minimum payout is reasonable enough for average users like me. I don't know about you. Maybe if you will feel challenged once you set your payout higher than $10, then go ahead. But I suggest you start out first on $20 or $30 dollars before moving in to $50.

I think it is the easiest target, as it really takes time and a lot of work. I wonder if there is a person here in MyLot who actually makes $100 or $50 in just a short period of time?

hi friend when we come new to mylot we were very excited and it seems like that we can reach minimum payout that is 10$ very easily but infect it is really hard because after some time we are feeling board to do same work daily and write posts and then to earn 10$ is also a difficult work.

For those who are earning good here $10 minimum might be too low, but for beginners like me i find it too long to reach. i think i was too far to reach this minimum payout and that makes me feel like quitting here in mylot. but due to interesting topic here i still stay & that payout would only be a plus for me,

I think that i'm still going to stick to my minimum payout which is $10.oo. I'm happy about it, although i haven't reached it yet. I think you can reach $50 if you will really put a lot of effort and time here in mylot. You have to be online 24/7. And non stop posting. But get a rest sometimes, if you're going to that. LOL. Anyways, goodluck with that. It's a good idea as long as you're going to stick to it my friend.

i think your idea is great. but i guess it's not yet applicable to me as of the moment. i'm doing this part time so it's quite difficult for me to reach 10$, moreso 50$. but i get your point, it can really be challenging and can boost you to spend more time here to reach your pay out! but whether it's a good idea or not really depends on every user. if you have more time to spend, no problem trying. :-)

hi friend no doubt this is a great idea but for me earning 10 $ in a month is difficult because i spend less time on mylot. but when i am new member on mylot i also think like you that we can easily earn 10 $ but with passage of time i understood that earning 10 $ is also tough but if you earn 50 $ it is really a big achievement

If you can't make the $10 in the designated time then I doubt you'd make anywhere near $50 anytime soon. I started being active about 45 days ago, I was very active for a couple of weeks before my final exams arrived, at which time I had to drop everything I was doing and just concentrate on my exams. I've been back here for about 2 days, and I think I'm doing pretty good. I think I can reach the minimum payout before the end of this month. Although I have to be somewhat more active here. Just try to be more active here and you'll see the how much you can make by being active. At that point you may be so motivated you'd make the $50 in a single month. Have a nice time myLotting! I hop you reach your minimum payout soon!
