Finally cleared a dollar.
I AM A MONEY MAKING MACHINE.
but in all seriousness, I do enjoy blogging and getting feedback, and I figure that the time investment involved in this early stage is all part of building an audience that will make this site more lucrative for me in the future.

Congrats
As to whether it'll be more lucrative in the future that depends on a lot of things.
Content of your posts is the biggest thing...if people don't find them interesting they won't respond.
Also, being known doesn't just mean posting your own discussions it means reading a lot and participating in other peoples discussions.
Anything you post be that a discussion/response or comment is eligible for earnings.
In general you do earn more posting discussions than purely being a responder like me.
I posted a rare discussion the other day and my daily earnings more than quintupled
but that may have been down to the amount of responding I do.

Yeah...and just throwing out a discussion and then vanishing is not going to help at all because next time people won0t bother responding on it.
So where has @cavalierscholar gone now I wonder? Maybe making coffee for us all?

@mysdianait Some people post a discussion and come back the next day.
I like the instant back and forth but that's just me.
We all do things differently

So you have stopped now? Why don't you come back and comment to all of the responses so that everyone who posted here and helped you to earn will now earn something too? If your comments are interesting we might all come back and say some miore and then you ,might reach your second dollar sooner

I was on Duolingo, now I'm back here on MyLot. I'm website-promiscuous.

@mysdianait I agree. Not much room for blogging here.

@cavalierscholar Proof that you don't earn for what YOU do but for when others interact with what you do. You disappeared while we kept it moving for you

thanks. I try to do some interaction every day, at the very least making comments on someone else's post

Many newbies barely give the site a week before they start getting anxious about their earnings. It takes a while to build a following here but it will - and does - happen.
