I have made my first dollar on MyLot!

It took a week, but I made it through the dollar mark last night as I slept. For some reason, I don't get a lot of likes and comments on my own "discussions," but I'm pretty active in making comments and joining the dialogue on others' discussions, so that must be where my earnings come from. My worldly wise advice to "newbies" would be to interact as much as possible, as it appears we're rewarded for interaction on others' discussions, not just our own. Am I right about that? The photo is of Indian Paintbrush, which comes up in mid-Spring on Mt. Diablo, near my home.

It's one of the things that I like here. We can make money by participating on other people's conversations. I don't have a lot of time some days and I don't want to start discussions and then leave for several hours.

I still like it (ego) when others comment on my posts. But it's fun to be able to travel around the site and get involved in any conversation I want to. And to now that being involved in others' discussions can lead to earnings.

This is very good advise, and very true, even if one's own discussions don't tend to lead into lots of action, one can find that action elsewhere. Sometimes i have a good discussion that gets used on and on for days, and then I have some that bomb, you never know!

Yeppers, like what if my most interesting event of the day was being able to tweeze that nose hair that had been itching me for a week. I could post about it and hope for a few sympathy likes, or just give up. But here, I can find an interesting discussion and just join in.

Wow! That is amazing! How much time did you spend in here to have an early payout? I hope I can do same thing but I cannot be active here as much as I want to. I only sign in here whenever I have free time. By the way, thank you very much for such a good suggestions. So, interaction is the key. I think this site is pretty awesome for it offers a lot of benefits to its users. Happy mylotting and Congratulations!

@TheHorse Oh, I misunderstood your post. I thought you almost made it to the payout. I have been here for a long time and I think the fastest time I can make to have my payout here is one month. Well, I could not devote all my time here because sometimes I run out of ideas. Happy mylotting :)

You are so right that interaction is the key here, as that is what we have to do to get paid. I love it a lot, and I am having so much fun with the interaction. I have never laughed so hard as I have at some of the comments made in here. That is a good thing though, as laughter is good for the soul, so let's all keep on laughing.

Well done!
We earn from other interactions to our posts - they could be our discussion, response, or comment posts.
We don't earn when we just post a discussion, response, or comment alone. But the minute others interact to our posts, we will start earning.

I made 25 cents my first day and I only posted a discussion at the very end. I do not earn fast here, only just getting over $5 yesterday, and I'm 2 days shy of being here a month.

@TheHorse That's just because we're used to the Bubblews rate. :P

@OneOfMany Yes, we're used to the trickle. Here, we can do better than 5 cents a day if we're active in visiting and commenting on others' posts.

@Carol2015 It adds up--I wind up noodling around the site for half an hour sometimes!

It took me about 3 weeks to reach my first $1 after returning here, although I was not very active and was in no particular hurry. It comes as no surprise to me that your responses have been low because it does take a little time before other members get to know you.
Interacting is always the way to go here because that is the only way to become involved with others.

the more you interact in your own discussions and in others discussions, the more people will see you and check out your own discussions.

You get rewarded for the comments you make on the articles of others. You don't get anything for comments on your articles or those you make on our own.

@Analyst001 That's how it was explained to me, so I'm just taking that person's word for it.

@Analyst001 That's what I'm thinking. But I'm not sure. My biggest day so far was when I left a lot of comments, but also posted something that received a lot of comments.

It looks like you got a ton of responses from this post. Guess you just have to post stuff that the audience responds to. lol
Anytime someone posts about hitting a milestone on myLot it seems to get some buzz. I just started a couple days ago myself and am only up to 16 cents. Maybe I'll be able to post about making my first dollar soon too. Keep having fun.
