How long did it take before you reached $10? What was your rating? Contrary to what most people here believe, mylot actually pays you according to the quality of your posts. Because I have a friend here who has about 350 posts, yet she has only earned about $2. As for myself, I already earned $6.80 with less than a hundred posts. I'm sure some have earned more. So, how long did it take you to reach $10?

I got that a long way back before reaching my 200th post. Mylot bases their payment structure by the quality of your post and not by the quantity. They also give credit for all your other activities that you do while logged in to your mylot account like posting photos, rating other users, posting comments and referring others.
Also, as far as I know, they have implemented not to give credit to post with just 1 word or topics that don't really make sense. Now, I'm not sure if they're now subtracting earnings for posts that have negative ratings or posts by users who are abusing the system (like copying & pasting other user's post and use it as their own) but it looks like that's what's happening now because there have been reports by some members that their earnings suddenly decreased.

You say itserves them right but sometimes people rate your posts or comments as negative because they don't feel the same way you do. I don't think that's right at all. Also some people on here don't read the entire post before making judgement. But that's life huh?

Ah yes... You have a point there. But I think more people post than rate. So I guess that balances out the equation.

I totally understand where you're coming from. It's actually funny reading the posts from users saying their earning have decreased and whatever. Haha, serves them right.

I reached the $10 payout in three days. Actually I ade over $13. I was somewhere around 150 points in rating when it happened. Quality discussions and quality answers are the way to go. Also try to leave quality comments back to the users who reaply to your discussions if you can. I also make it a point to try and rate good answers, and after about a week I go back and choose the best answer to each of my discussions. The more we all help each other out the faster we can meet our minimmum payment.

I've earned it about 11 days. posting quality information and starting relevant topics, uploaded photos on my interest too. i'm one of those you are talking about that myLot decreased their earnings just today. And I don't know why, i posted relecant replies like this and still I lose about $0.03 cents as of today. although not that big but still they decreased my earnings. but as their rules said that "All amounts are estimates and are subject to change until final payments are made. " so i can't really expect that my earnings wouldn't be changed.

it took me almost 6 weeks and about 350 posts to make $10. at the start i wasn't aware of the rules etc. (i didn't copy & paste other people's answers but, i did leave short answers to discussions, maybe 2 lines) now i am aware of all the guidelines and stick by them. My earnings now seem to be a lot better, i have always liked this site and now all of the discussions are pretty good (mainly) & the responses have improved a lot, All good things!!!

it took me a little bit i think i had 550 posts before i reached 10.00 but they recently changed my lot so they pay more.especially where their more strict on the posts,and quality of your posts.

i reached the minimum payout of $10 on my fifth day on myLot. this is my second week and i have earned $19.32. not that much but unlike the first week i do not spend that too much time on myLot the couple of days. i would be satisfied giving 10 or 15 replies because of time constraints. during my first few days in myLot i used to have something betweeon 90 to 100 posts per day bu that took so much time. i would like to have $50 or $60 by the end of december but it would take work.

I managed to make 12$ in three days. I'm up to 24.09 and I've only been here for a week or so. It really does depend on the quality of your post - and your post ratings. Responses with a '+' rating or a 'best response' will get you more money than if there's no rating. And a '-' gets nothing.

Do you sleep? lOl,just kidding. That's fantastic that you made that much in just 3 days, I can't wait till I can do that...i've been on for a about a week now, and I'm only at 89 Cents...but I also wanted to sit back and see how everything works, so I've been reluctant to post replies...I'm over it now :-)
Keep up the good work, and good luck!
Have a great day!

Good Luck...
Here is a tip...try writing more on your posts! If this is your typical response, just one or two lines, then that is why you haven't reached $10 yet!
Again...Good Luck!

WOW!!! That is good to know! I'm already tired of looking through some of the rediculous posts on here....you can tell which ones are on here not only to make money, but to make friends and to honestly help and give their opinion! The ones who asks the silly questions are just here for the money...and if what you say is true, they won't ever see it, lol...And I'm totally ok with that! It just weeds out the ones who don't belong here in the first place!
Congrats on your earnings, I hope to be right behind ya very soon!Have a great day!
