Mylot is about .... quality or quantity ??

As Mike has said above, it is not as easy to feel that your payments are as good as they once were if you were here five or six years ago. This is entirely reasonable. MyLot has a certain amount to distribute each month, It has to be divided amongst more active members now than it did then. It is STILL allocated not just by the number of members or how many posts they make but by the QUALITY of their contributions. That is why we should ALL insist upon the kind of quality which MyLot seeks to promote. In other words, ALL members who understand what quality means should acknowledge it when they see it by RATING people who post really good, informative and EXCELLENT quality posts and by REPORTING posts which definitely violate the Guidelines so that they can be deleted. MyLot is a reliable and very fair system. The people who complain that it is a scam, is unfair or doesn't pay well are people who HAVE NOT understood or followed the Guidelines and, usually, are people who have tried to scam MyLot and the users who DO understand and value it. Because MyLot insists that we post in English and rewards good quality, descriptive and meaningful posts, it DOES tend to favour those who can easily express themselves in good English. It doesn't, however, mean that if English is not your first language, you don't belong here! If you can make yourself understood and post something really worthwhile, you DO belong here. The 'earnings' are really not that important (as many will tell you) ... what matters is what YOU have to say!

I would say a mix of the two, with quality being the dominant ingredient of the mix. By that I mean that your responses should be of the best quality but at the same time you get paid more if they're more lengthy and well structured. If you just type random stuff and think you're getting paid for it, well you'd be very wrong. Just try and keep your discussions... well discussions! Imagine yourself having a discussion with a real person, how would you make them more interested in continuing the conversation with you and how you would argue to make your point clear in a good manner are all factors that count towards the quality of your discussions. I hope this helped. Have a nice time myLotting and good luck!

Hi... I have referred 6-7 people to myLot and only one of them is 'feebly' active... The reason is, the low pay! They get discouraged.. When I came here, I had come for money too, to be frank.. But later I fell in Love with myLot.. It is my virtual family now and I have got more true friends than that of my real life.. myLot is a stage where one can express, share and learn... The earning part is not the first here... 'Quality' of what you write is important, as that maintains the status of myLot among a quarter million of people... myLot is all about Quality...

I would agree with you that quality is far better than quantity. But then I would say that it would differ from person to person. A good quality discussion on sport for instance, to somebody who has no interest wouldn't be seen as good quality. I think that clarity is important. We all make typos from time to time, but I always think it is important to do my best to ensure that what I write can be understood. I participate in myLot for good discussions to share information that can help others and for information that I can learn. I also enjoy hearing about other people's lives in various countries across the world. _Derek

Mylot earnings have not changed. They are still the same. What has changed is the quality of work being posted here. I have been scanning discussions all morning, and I am sad to say that I am not happy with what I have been seeing. First of all, while I am seeing a lot of new discussions, most of them are one liners. We all know that in order to make money on mylot, we have to start interesting discussions that get responses. If you want to do that, starting one line discussions is not the way to do it. I have also noticed that there are a lot of discussions in which it is hard to understand what the person is talking about. It is for a number of different reasons but for the most part, it just seems like people are not taking the time to check their discussions before posting them. I personally have been making more money because I am taking the time to consider what topics are good and which to avoid. I think that people need to be more careful about what topics they choose to write about, as well as their english. I hope that I will find some interesting discussions to respond to.

yes friend mylot always depend upon quality not quantity .it is not necessary that you should earn 1 cent per post you can earn more than it or earn nothing because it is based upon quality of our posts .so friend i am always concentrate on my quality rather than quantity.

Hi! I agree with you. The main goal for this site is to give as much detail in your responses. That is what is being asked by each person as well as what they are expecting. When I post a discussion I love reading the thought full responses. The short just spouted out on the keyboard are not. And you can tell by reading wether or not if the person is interested in what you asked and is engaging in the discussion. ~C~

I start few posts at mylot and answer on the subjects thta really interest me as I feel this is what a social site is about. Yet I always reach payment, except when there´sa something special, like a computer crash or thew like. As rules say, posts should have good quality. And I don´t think quality is only a matter of so many lines either but of a good content.

It's the quality of your response. Of course, quantity matters as well. The more quality response you made, the more you earn. Start a discussion and respond to all responses that you received and that will keep your earnings good. The more you inter-act with other mylotters esp with your own discussion the more you earn.

Mylot is about being a community. It is not about earning money. The money is just an incentive. It is more of being a part of a group and having a great resource of live information where one can actually get to communicate with the others.

Hi there, I'm going to say a lot here, mainly because of your low number (85)indicates that you haven't participated too much yet. Welcome to Mylot. The earnings here at Mylot are the same as they have always been. You have to do the work to make good here. You can easily make payout every single month if you do the work. Quality posts won’t get deleted. If you just write short little one liners, ask a question that requires a yes or no answer… you will likely lose your post and anyone answering your post will lose their money too. I try to stay away from discussions I know will get deleted. The best thing you can do is to be a GOOD host when you start a discussion.. which means that you comment back to your commenters. If you can keep several threads going in your discussions they will be earning good for you. Everyone thinks they can earn without doing anything. You can’t make money on what I write and I can’t make money on what you write, we write we earn… period. Your discussions should be DISCUSSIONS and not POLLS. You mention quality vs quantity. You can have a quality post and it may be long or fairly short. It should be readable and make sense. It shouldn’t be like every other post here.. in other words if there are 10 discussions on cheating husbands, it’s probably not a good idea to put another one up. When I write, I write what is going on in my life…instead of asking some stupid question about what if you were abducted by aliens what would you do… or something like that… that’s just me… but there are folks that like those questions. I believe they can be quality discussions when they are written well, and ask for a response and the host of that discussion monitors it and responds back… that’s the best way to earn. I might do 3 discussions in one day, and then when they slow down, I will put 2 or 3 more up and man them. I make really well when I host my own discussions. It just seems like that commenting back to my commenters helps me to payout each month… if I don’t do discussions of my own in a month I won’t get payout.

Quality might be more important, but quantity is also important as well. I mean, you can't earn something big, let's say around $0.5, by just writing one or two posts..

quality is very important in mylot..each of our post is paid according to it's quality (and some other factors like our mylot reputation)..but of course quantity matters too.. You're probably right that less quality discussions with good quality earns more than more discussions where the quality is not that good..but combining both quality and quantity is the best way to earn more..participating in many discussions by writing many quality posts is the surest way to earn more in the discussion part of mylot.

well I do too believe quality is better than quantity. the thing is to make a good quality response or discussion we need to type a lot. for fast typist it would be easy but for someone like me who has something like 3 words a min speed it would be like pain in the neck. and the thing is we need to do it in a quick time span. why I said it, I have experienced many times that I got some kind of time limit that it make what I typed gone. so sometimes short liners response isnt bad choice for me.

a lot of new ones do not read any of the information mylot admins suggests that they should read. wanting to make money they just plunge and write way too much junk instead of having read the dos and don't of discussion writing. so they get most all of their junky stuff deleted. so then they do not make much so now they scream big fraud. a big to do about nothing as you did not read the guidelines so you did not know you broke all the rules in the guidelines and you also wrote one line nothings which also get deleted. we want quality posts here not a zillion garbage ones. old computer saying is still true put garb age in you get garbage out.post less and post better quality posts. I know quality is what makes me money here in mylot.

Quality tends to rather be the obvious answer here. Of course if you have of enough of a quantity, that is of moderate quality, or if you're really out of your mind, a high quantity that is high quality, then you might be able to do something. Then again, the exact way myLot tends to calculate their earnings tends to be something that can be debated all day, but that's beside the point. Of course, I think that myLot is paying more for me. Or it could be that I am just able to get better posts which mandate a higher rate. Who really knows. Of course I think that a lot of the time, those who are complaining about myLot paying less are lazy and unable or unwilling to put in the effort to actually make decent enough posts and invest their time into the website. And perhaps are with this website for the wrong reasons.

Thanks for the idea. I am here in my lot for a year but I have less earnings . Good that you shared this idea. Hopefully I can develop what you have develop. Could we earn by making a response to the discussion of others? NO credit at all? Am still studying this site on to earn more points.

Hello zahiedp, Quality is important in everything we do as quality is the parameter which differentiate one thing from the other.There are lot of brands of the same product in the market and every brand is purchased by the consumer but the brand which has better quality has better sale. Similarly here on MYLOT we are paid more for quality and are rated + ve by others which help us to gain higher reputation which ultimately helps in earning more.

I believe in two method, quality is not enough without quantity. So, if we want to earn more here, we should make a lot posts and have quality insides. I'm not really active here to make much post, I have another job to do. Sometimes, I just reading discussion posted by my friends. There are many new comers, make a new post or response without quality, maybe just 1 or two liners of sentences, and then, they look on what they got just small amount, of course they will boring.

I think that should be both, quality and quantity. You cannot right a quality answer if it is written in less sentences right? As one of the rule here. "please be as descriptive as possible". And i think that the more post you made here the more income you will get.
