Made Fifty Cents Here in One Day's Time, the First Time Ever for Me

I had yesterday off from doing any window cleaning, so I was able to be around mylot most of the day. I wasn't here non-stop but enough that it did a lot of good. I made forty cents yesterday before I went to bed and another ten cents upon awaking today. I know if I wasn't here I wouldn't have made much at all, but also the thanks goes to the rest of you that didn't let all my words die wherever they landed yesterday.
The image is mine, money I had left from Guatemala a few years ago when I went. I decided not to hunt down an image online, but use my own. I seem to be running into a 'runtime error' for loading my picture. I'll try again later tonight.
Come to find out, my image was a bit too large. I didn't even think it could be since I've never had that problem here before. Thanks to, Michelle, as she brought it to my attention.

Wow! and here I was feeling good that I finally reached $5, the first time I've done that on my own (without a special dispensation from MyLot).
Congratulations!
Also, I don't see any image, hmmmm.

I got a runtime error twice. Will try the picture again later. I still probably won't make that much for the whole month, so don't feel left out. Prior to yesterday the most I ever made in a days time was thirty-forty cents with a lot of work. I've not done that day after day ever.

That's wonderful ! Happy myLotting- hopefully the photo feature will work for you next time. If your image is too big you may have to resize it to load on myLot :)

You're welcome
Hopefully resizing will work and it'll load much quicker also!

Thanks, that is what the problem is. I've not had to resize my pictures much here so didn't even think it might be too large. Will resize it shortly and try to upload it again.

Congratulations @MarshaMusselman How wonderful! What is the secret? Is it amount of time or tapping regular members? Thanks in advance dear. I recall you always being so helpful. Thanks again.

I'm sure how much time you spend here makes a big difference, but I really think that it's not so much how long you spend here daily or weekly but more how long you've been on the site. There are a few people that claim they make payout right away, but I'm not able to do that even when I'm here every day and lots throughout the day.
I did try something different a few months ago, though, and noticed it worked well, but I'm not able to do it every month yet. And that is to try to be here more from the fifteenth of the month to the end more than I am in the beginning of the month. The money seems to roll in more that way.
Writing a post on a regular basis helps a lot, but the interaction is key and one can make money interacting only without writing a post, but i really think the higher the number is after your name the better you'll do. And that all takes time.
Although, there are a few newer members that comment on many responses around the site, but don't really add anything to what's being said. Most people here are tired of that, so if you see a higher number on a newer person, you'd have to see what they're saying. I wouldn't mimic them.

@Gabugs You do have informational posts, but many here prefer shorter posts. I for one, can't seem to keep mine too short, but that's fine with me too.
At least at bubblews you got a bit of passive income for your informational writings. Do you post them online somewhere too where you make a bit more from them, or on a blog or something? Here, once they're not recent they get lost in the shuffle overall.

@MarshaMusselman Thanks so very much for all your valuable tips. At times, I wonder if people here are truly interested in some serious stuff we write or the information we provide.
But of course, many members like me enjoy inter-acting with people like you.

I don't usually need to shrink them first, but that was an older picture that I thought I'd used before but maybe not. I didn't even think that it might be too big.
I usually am doing well if I make ten to twenty cents per day. Some days or I should say some weeks I might only make thirty cents. And, some of those days I'm here a lot more than others. Sometimes it seems to take a few days to filter down too since not everyone gets caught up in their notifications each and every day.

@BettyB That's impressive if you were able to maintain that much on a monthly basis. I've only gotten the minimum once or twice in a months time thus far even when I've been able to be here a lot. If I would try more to be here more consistently the end of each month, and I don't only mean the last few days, but the last week or more, then I think maybe, just maybe, I could pull it off each time.
But, I was able to do that last month because I was not working too much just being into the second month after a knee replacement. I go back to my full-time job this coming Friday, while still trying to do windows most days beforehand. That will limit my mylotting time. Although, I did buy a tablet a few years ago in order to mylot on my breaks and lunches and instead I was playing a game. I may switch back to at least working on notifs during those breaks, so that may improve thing for me a bit more.

@MarshaMusselman I'm only here an hour or two a day and I just came back. Last year I averaged five to six dollars a month. I don't know what I'll average now. It will take a month or two for a pattern to set.

RIght, .50 cents. I probably can't duplicate it even if I'm here every day a lot, but one never knows. Next week it's supposed to rain a lot. If it does I can be here more again, but we'll see.
I realize the image isn't there, that's why I edited it before you got here to say that. The image keeps running into an error of some type.

@responsiveme Yup, resizing was definitely the answer this time. That's the first time i had one too large so I didn't even consider that might be the problem. Another member gave me the idea, it was just over 5mb which is definitely too large.

Well, you're where you need to be. I think I've only cashed out two different months when starting over again in the beginning. Two months ago I was only eight cents away and ended up with over the min for the two months at twelve dollars. I don't think I'll achieve that this round since I'm just over six with both months combined. But that's okay with me.

The longer you're here the faster you'll make whatever it might be all depending on how interactive you are and then again how much what you say around the site gets replied to by others here.

@MarshaMusselman Yes, 5MB it's too big to upload. There are many online solutions to downsize pictures.

@LadyDuck I know. I use picmonkey, but I also have photoscape on my computer and use that to downsize images. It's pretty easy.

Yes, I guess it was too large. I've not had to downsize my images yet, so I didn't expect that to be the problem here until Michelle mentioned it. I checked the properties and it was over 5mb, no wonder it wouldn't load.

I doubt that will happen. Maybe eventually it will happen more and more but I doubt it will happen enough for me to cash out each month.

Every now and then I'll have a 50-cent day, and it's usually on the weekends when I can spend more time on the site, but I once made over a dollar a day last fall when I had a few days off of work and spent my entire days on this site.

I've spent whole days here in the past and never made more than thirty cents or so. 'Today was a twenty cent day which is pretty good since I wasn't here much at all.I'm sure I won't be making that much on a regular basis for a while yet.

I have never reached 50 cents in one day. Unfortunately, I post too sporadically to create a large enough following to accomplish that. Hopefully, one of these days I will. Keep up the good work!!

Don't worry, most of us don't do that well on a regular basis, although there are a few that we know that do even better than that monthly. I've barely made pennies since last month, but I've been trying to get more done at home the beginning of the month so I can be here more from the 15th on when it seems to be busier here.
You don't actually have to write a ton of posts to do well although I find that when I do write something new I make it faster than when I'm only interacting. But, interacting will still up your bank a bit faster especially as the numbers after your name increase a bit more.

Many of us now here may have done more faster because we knew each other from a previous site. You will make payout one day, a lot depend on how much time you have each day or week to interact. If your time is more limited it will take a bit longer. The first time I reached payout it did take me four months even though I know loads of folks.

Every once in a while I overdo what I've done before, but not that often. I rarely make payout each month if that tells you anything.

I know. It never loaded when I wrote this which I said in the post. I tried three times and then someone mentioned that it might be too big. I checked and yup it was over 5mb. I didn't even know I had any images that large. It's showing now.

I've been here more than this before but never reaped that much. I think the longer a person is here, though, the faster it may come since more people know who they are.

Ten to twenty cents per day is more my normal if I even make that. My time here is sporadic and that doesn't help either, but you will find that as you are here more you will do better.
