I've been wondering how much money can I get in this . I am so desperated to look for something which could help me to earn cash,to support my studies. I am so problematic when it comes to money. My father is 60 years old and yet still working to support the family. My sister have two kids and she doesn't have a permanent work. My mother have a cancerous ceast on her right ear. I want to help her ,to bring her to especialist but I don't have money? that's why I am surfing at the internet to look for a job, a part time job..I just hope I can earn here.

It really depends how much money you can get here in MyLot. If you're looking for a steady income, try doing offline jobs. I wouldn't really recommend online jobs (unless you're a big shot here) because you electricity bill alone might not even be covered by the money you'll earn here.

The first thing that everyone should know is that MyLot will NOT make you rich. It is quite possible to make $10 (and more) each month - a number of people do - but not a great deal more than that.
MyLot calculates our earnings based on a complex algorithm which takes quality into account. Of course, it also depends on how active you are, how many posts you make and how long you can spend here, but it is the QUALITY of your participation which will make it worthwhile.
The best strategy is to forget about your earnings here and to make sure that you choose topics to discuss about which you have lots to say. There are hundreds of new discussions posted every day (as well as over two million already posted), so you shouldn't find it difficult to find plenty to which you can give quality responses!
It is absolutely vital to have read and understood the Guidelines! Moderation is good here and many discussions which don't meet the standards are removed. It is simply a waste of effort responding to those, so it is very important to know whether something is likely to stay or not. This is something which comes with practice and familiarity and you shouldn't be distressed if, at first, you have a number of posts removed. This happens to even the most experienced of us here from time to time!
The best way to think of MyLot is as a place where you can meet people from many countries, share ideas and opinions and learn many things. That is its REAL value, but the odd thing is that the more you treat it as a hobby (or as an obsession) and just write for the sake of writing, the better your earnings will be! Just think of the earnings as a nice 'bonus' for enjoying yourself and learning to be fluent in writing.

It much depends on how much money you need. And that depends on each country. I understand that in your country you do a lot more than in others with a dollar. You will not get rich working online, but you can earn some dollars that help.
