Are your MyLot earnings up a bit this month?

There seems to be more activity on MyLot this month than there was in February. Have you noticed this? Or have I simply been a bit more active without realizing it? My earnings for this month have already surpassed my earnings from all of February. It's only the 28th, so the short (29 day) February is not responsible. I thought maybe the $1.00 minimum payout might be partially responsible, but most of the people I interact with are "veterans" who won't be affected by that change. Or course, it's also possible that it's just the "randomness factor." Are you noticing a bit more activity this month than last?

@TheHorse I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

I just reached the 10 dollars minimum. My balance is now 10.27 US dollars and I believe it has something to do with people being motivated by the 1 dollar minimum for April.

@TheHorse I cant wait to get my first payment for years. The last time Mylot paid me is around 2011 when they temporarily ended the payment program.

It could be. Maybe some of the relative newbies left more comments around the site.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I think I was still writing for Epinions in those days. I hadn't heard of MyLot yet.

I've noticed my earnings going up since the middle of February but I think that's due to the fact that I've been interacting more. That's my theory.

I was stumbling and bumbling in late February for some reason. Mine didn't start to pick up until early March.

@TheHorse March 18th, I believe.
Take a glance at your Earnings Summary page, below the last line of $ info. Do you like what you see? I was surprised, but elated to learn I am at...

@pgntwo Oh, my earnings started to improve in early March, well before that date.

There's always some fluctuation. But I think I've had a bit less "variance" around my average day this month.

Yes, it's the coolest thing about the site. I chat with people all over the world. I'm just saying that earning have been up a bit since last month, and speculating on whether interaction is up site-wide.

Depends I'd you want to make money, but others will tell you to interact for fun, not for the pennies earned. To do so for the money aspect is frivolous.

I was not much active last month so my earnings this month is obviously higher. I agree with you most of the newbies are more active due to change in the payout which is achievable easily

@TheHorse Some people will indeed up their activities in order to get to the $1 quicker. However, for I, I will be coming in and out as per my availability and free time, and my interests.

Maybe we'll hear from some relative newbies on whether the $1 payout minimum affected their behavior here.

I have noticed more activity and I have found comments left by newbies. I believe that the $1 dollar redemption is helping.

He was one of my buddies at work in Oakland. I knew him since he was born, I think. He looks like he could be my kid, but he's not. By the time he was 11 or 12 months old, he had the manual dexterity (when I was carrying him around) to remove my hat and put it on his head.

Yes, I definitely think there is more activity. I think that is because, with the lower minimum payout, people are more willing to spend time here. They would rather get a couple of dollars in one month than wait four or five months to get $10.

Sometimes real life gets in the way. I have a kid client in a few minutes, and I have to help host an Open Mic tonight, so I won't be around much until late.

I have noticed a change in the earnings also...but I have also been more active. Not sure why that is but like yiu I think I was in a little February slump. If its due to the dollar payout thing - thats awesome, although I was thinking it would have a reverse effect to be honest...

@TheHorse ..Pony...I envy you..if you can be with kid clients like that - no wonder you sound so calm. Yesterday my hero and heroine came and emptied the entire powder box on my bedsheet..and enjoyed painting the bed sheet as well as themselves. Before that hero was watching songs. And heroine was passing the box to me behind the dressing table (there is a small gap), and collecting it from front. And such a simple act, she was so happy with it. They were not willing to leave last evening and took some yelling. :( Really miss them every moment.

I haven't witten often enough here to notice any change. I would think the $1.00 minimum would help both increase activity and earnings somewhat.

@TheHorse It would help if those writers were motivated by the $1.00 and increased their writing and interacting. Lowering the payment threshold often is a great incentive to write. It works for me.

The word must be getting out that MyLot pays and a coo sitel to interact at. I'd like to see membership numbers this month over last month.

@TheHorse yup. Took me a week or two to understand interaction is more important than posting more and more.
