Earning for cents...

I think you should do what works for you. I attempted to do some tasks way back when I joined but I ended up letting them go, and focused on participating on discussions instead. I also start a few discussions to make more money.

each of the ways you mentioned would make you earn some cents in mylot. i like responding to discussions because this make me connected with more mylot members. the discussion and exchanges of views are very helpful in learning and clarifying things here. so far, i am ok with my earnings.

In this link you can find what myLot tell us to do: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14 We are not told how the pay is decided in the discussions but they do tell us that we earn for quality participation. MyLot is a discussion site therefore it makes sense that we should discuss here. That means that if we start a new topic we should then comment on the responses and further the topic. We will not earn anything for the responses that others post (they earn for those) but we will earn for commenting if our comments are worthwhile. If we have active referrals then we will earn a percentage of their earnings too but finding active referrals is not easy. When we find them we should then explain to them what they should do here so first it is best that we understand it ourselves. The only thing with a fixed payment are the tasks. Beside each one you will see what it is worth and decide whether to complete it or not. You can then also use the myLot search and you will receive random rewards. Be careful not to abuse it though as this will cost you your account. Welcome to myLot!

I think it is not like that only but also to feel the moments here and to enjoy your time.
