Hi! I was on here about 6 years ago and recently REfound this site but I'm confused how the earnings work and I can't really seem to find any information in the 'info' sectin.. I understand that we get points for starting discussions and replying to them. I'm not understanding how this plays into earnings. Could someone explain to me or point me in the right direction as to where I can find this info? Much Thanks! ;)

There is no 'points' system here on mylot. We earn for all of our own activity (if it is within the guidelines) in each 24 hour period. We do not earn for 'posting' because myLot does not pay 'per post'. We earn for starting, responding and commenting with quality in the discussions. It is explained here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#14

Like you said exactly. What I think though is that people should look around the old discussions before asking another question like millions of people have before. Basically all the answers guide people back to the guidelines.

All of the answers to these queries are indeed in the FAQs and in older discussions but it appears to be easier to ask again. Those of us who respond do so knowing that we might lose our post but we also know that it might help many others who were in doubt too. So we continue

Watch this interest too as there are daily new discussions which you will find helpful. If you concentrate less on your earnings and more about participating and having fun, with an eye on the Guidelines too, then you will not be disappointed. Read all of the FAQs and you will see that you can also earn random rewards using the myLot search (which is powered by Yahoo).

Curious, I return to mylot almost 6 years from now :) Some diferences but still you earn by starting, responding and commenting discussions with quality. Hoping that some of them mylot don´t delete. Take a look at guidelines and faq´s.

You earn money or cents when you respond to discussions, make your own discussions, comment on responses on you own discussions, uploading pictures and more. You earn from your own activity and your own activity alone. So be active everyday and give quality opinions and watch your earnings go up everyday.

First of all, you need to be active and participate in discussions in order to earn. you should also post quality, as that is what our earnings are based on. whenever you start a discussion, it is your best interest to commetn back to the responses you receive, as you only earn fro what you do, and not what others do. I think some users expect to earn from their responses, without commenting back, and when they don't earn, they wonder why. It is like diana posted, that you should read the faq;s and guidelines, so you know what you can and can't do in here. I hope that this has hlped you understand how to earn in here. Take care, and have a good day.

Welcome back to Mylot -- the most wonderful place to be at. Well You have to start discussions for which you will get responses from other people. You earn money (not points) for the same. Adn it seems that if you comment on the responses that you get then your earnings can increase. Secondly you have to respond to discussions that the other members of mylot have started. That will also help you to earn. The longer the response the more better you earn. So if your response is a paragraph or so long instead of a one liner then obviously your earnings will be better. The more you respond that much more you earn. Now every time you respond one number will increase in the bracket. Every first response to a discussion started by you increase one number in the bracket. But that happens only for the first response to a discussion. The earnings that I am talking about is the money i.e you actually earn in dollars. This money you can withdraw. You have a right to set the limit. So once you have to set the limit which can be 10 dollars, 25 or 50 dollars. Then whenever your earnings reach that limit it can be withdrawn to your paypal account. You can change that limit and make it higher or lower whenever you wish for. I hope you have a good time mylotting.

mylot pays you by the quality of your posts, not for each post, do you understand, dont you? the most important in this site is the quality of your posts, productive and good discussions and replies. welcome again!

Our activity here matters a lot.Initiating topic for discussions and commenting back to member's responses would mean earnings for us. Not just post, but posting quality comments /responses and not violating mylot guidelines increases our earnings. Also do read the faq of mylot for easy understanding.
