I'm not really sure how this works I have posted a discussion and had two responses and got two pennies so one penny per response, I was wondering how money is earned is it by responses or responding or both and if so how much have some of you earned. Thanks!

You are NOT paid for what other people post; you are ONLY paid for what you write, so getting responses to a discussion earns you nothing. MyLot does not have any set payment 'per post' (in fact, your earnings are calculated on a DAILY basis and, as you can see here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#15 rewards "quality responses, relevant discussions and images, and normal website activities." In other words, many things besides posting discussions, responses and comments may contribute to your earnings. One thing which is certain is that, if your discussions, responses and comments are NOT of sufficient quality, you will not earn very much at all. MyLot is all about participating in quality discussions. Read the Guidelines carefully several times. You will not earn anything for posts which are deleted and that applies not only to your discussions but to discussions which you respond to. Make sure that, as far as possible, you avoid responding in discussions which will clearly be deleted. The FAQs contain the answers to nearly every question that you can think to ask about MyLot. Know where to find them (from the drop-down on the tab marked 'myLot' or from the link at the bottom) and refer to them often.

NO, moe1moalin! MyLot DO NOT give you 'a penny per reply'. I clearly said that "MyLot does not have any set payment 'per post'" Posts of no quality or which add nothing to the discussion won't earn you anything; good quality posts will earn you a LOT more! It is impossible to say that a certain number of posts will earn any particular amount at all because ALL your activity and ratings are calculated over a 24 hour period.
