Does myLot really pay

Money on myLot - The assumption that you can strike it rich by just becoming a member on myLot is an ill misconception that I have come to personally accept is not possible unless you put in your heart and mind and then maybe just maybe you can get those extra chums to throw around...

It has been my fourth week now on myLot platform and my earnings don't seem to be having any change.So far lets say I have not been putting in as much effort as should be because then again nothing comes easy, no? The problem seems to be in procrastination and not my lack of content to put across. So any one out there who has made like say $1,000 in a month please share the trick because the coming month of June, that is my target, too ambitious? watch this space

Hi geko well if you go at this speed then it would take ages to reach even 10$ mark its doesn't matter how long are you a part of mylot. mylot pays for contribution. mylot won't make you rich but it would teach you a lot. Good luck

I agree with you too, topffer. He posted 1 post a month but he hopes he could earn much money...it is so strange...

You have a User Rating of 1, which means that you have only been involved in one discussion (this one) and responded in NONE. You cannot, therefore, hope to have made any money! MyLot only rewards you for what YOU type! If anyone here has ever made $1000 in a month, it will have been because they have a VERY large number of active referrals! Some people manage to make $10 each month but many more reach payout only every two or three months. It all depends how much time you spend, how active you are and whether you can give good quality responses and comments. Unfortunately, I see that you are from Kenya and therefore MyLot will only be able to pay you if you have a US Bank account (which is unlikely). See here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#6 for more information and also this list: http://www.mylot.com/o/ppcountry.aspx

@Owlwings - "If anyone here has ever made $1000 in a month, it will have been because they have a VERY large number of active referrals!" Either that or they have made myLot their sole purpose for living! @Gekpmgem1 - Let me put it to you this way. I have been a member here for over 6 years and have been paid 3 times. It takes me about 18-24 months to reach payout based on my participation. Cheers, Stan

Well the US Bank account...uhmm, there is electronic fund transfer? do you have any idea of the existence of such?

@ Gekongem1. MyLot pay ONLY by PayPal and the PayPal site say that Kenyans can "Send and receive payments ... Withdraw from your PayPal account to a U.S. bank account." http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside I think this means that MyLot will be able to pay you but that you won't be able to transfer the money to a local bank. You only option will be to use the money online to pay for goods and services which accept PayPal. This might be problematic because nearly all sites which accept PayPal require that your account be verified - that is, that you have registered a bank account or credit card with PayPal. As is made clear above, PayPal can ONLY be used with a US bank account if you are from Kenya. If you want clarification of the situation, please use the Contact link at the bottom of the page. There is a drop-down selection list and you need to scroll right to the bottom of the list to select "Other". Then you will be able to type your query.

I haven't been active in a very long time, but I feel that I can answer this easily. 1) Yes they pay. They pay on time, when they are supposed to, after you reach payout. 2) You just can't type enough, think enough, spend enough hours here to make $1000 a month. In fact, $10 is much more likely. When I was addicted and spending a few hours a day I was lucky to hit $15 a month. While how much you make may have changed a bit, it definitely didn't change that much or people all over the Internet would be hearing about it.

no contribution means no income. If you give so little, you cannot expect that much. Just relax and start posting quality discussion and good response.

All you really need to do is be patient and participate alot and the biggest trick is to simply have fun and let the money aside, because mylot isn't only about winning some extra cash but also to give ideias, opinions and life experiences.

I think if your desire is to earn $1000 dollars a month, then mylot may not be the right place for you. Mylot is generally a fun forum with the idea of having fun sharing different topics and you get paid in the process. It's easy to earn $10 monthly here and I believe the highest earners here probably earns more than $500, but nothing is impossible...if you would be able to refer about 8,000 members which the top referrer did in mylot, I'm sure you would be earning quite a decent amount of money monthly here.

Welcome to myLot. I really do not know with what thought in your mind you have joined here. myLot is a site where one needs to participate in order to earn. One needs to comment on responses received to topics posted and also respond to topics posted by others. There are other methods too where one can earn. All this you will find in the following links: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq.aspx http://www.mylot.com/o/topguidelines.aspx http://www.mylot.com/o/terms.aspx Please spend some time to go through these links and understand how this site works.

And about earning one thousand dollars a month I would be interested to know who gave you that idea.

Dear friend, I have not seen any one making that amount in a month nor I do not think so until you get some rewards continuously from mylot. If you want that amount from here, may be it would be a wonder for me if you attain it. I had heard some of mylot friend here unable be even made a payout amount in a month. But if you want a aim like that, may be you could just make a better pay out if you go ahead with that target. Anyhow all the best and happy mylot.

Hi Gekongem, Well, I looked at your profile and it says that you have only been here for 2 weeks and that this is the only discussion that you have started. It also says that you have replied to none. That would explain the lack of earnings. $1000.00 per month?? That would be pretty difficult. Maybe impossible. If you put the effort in though, yes, Mylot does pay. Good luck to you!

Good to see that you have a plan :) Make sure that when you post it here the 27 (today??) you do not post any referral link in your discussion ;)

Think the thought of me being here for a month is because I have been wanting to make cash out of here and the knowing of how to go about it seems to me to have taken forever.I even dream of myLot!!..And thanks for the wishes but believe me determination is going to pay off, just wait for my post on the 27th of next month..

Mylot really pays... even though I haven't reach the minimum cashout but I'm registered here for years now (Im not just active) 1000 dollars a month is quite impossible not unless you have 1000 active referrals or something. but that gonna need ALOT of work and a TON of effort to get there. It might take a long while. Even so, please don't think mylot as an alternative job because this is just a community site. The earnings is just a twist to keep their members occupied. If you know what I mean.

I saw you have only discussions started, so that i really don't understand why you said "It has been my fourth week now on myLot platform and my earnings don't seem to be having any change". You are not active in mylot at all, then how mylot can pay you? In fact you can earn money on mylot by posting many good topics and discussions. So that if you really want money is raising in your account, you should be more active by posting your discussions, topics or uploading photos or using mylot search engine, etc... Who said he can earn $1,000 in a month is liar...it is really hard to earn $1,000 in a month, you know?

I agree, participation is important in making money in mylot. And if you want to earn $1000 a month, there are other sites more capable of earning that amount but with a lot of risk because you usually have to invest big amounts of money as well.

, i never invest money to any sites...because it is very insecure and we may lose all investment money because there are too many scam sites. I haven't get the first payment from mylot yet but currently mylot is my priority site...just because i love mylot...
