Increasing MyLot earnings

United States
January 20, 2007 2:11pm CST
I suspect that many myLot members are wondering how to have fun here and increase their earnings at the same time. myLot states that there are a few ways to earn and I have some questions for some of the more experienced folks: "1) Use myLot, post discussions, respond to discussions. 2) Post quality content. For example, generate discussions that engage other users and provide insightful responses and commentes to other users discussions to further the topic. 3. Refer friends. For each person you send to myLot you will receive 25% of their earnings." From what I have been able to determine there are several actions that constitute using myLot and likely are included in their algorithm: 1) Generate discussions. The quality of the discussion is an issue so myLot likely considers: a) number of responses; and b) rating of responses. 2) Respond/Comment in discussions. There are many comments addressing the length or complexity of a response as bearing on the judgment of its quality. I doubt that a live person reads each comment so the quality of the comment must be judged by its rating and perhaps unique word count? 3) Upload relevant pictures/images in comments and discussions. Again, is each one given equal value or is there a formula to the weighting? 4) Income from referrals. 5) Is it possible that number of friends has an impact on earnings? myLot's revenue model is currently focused on ad revenue and the more page views the better. As such, figuring out ways for us all to maximize our income via increased activity only increases myLot's revenue. In that light, and hoping that someone will respond to this with some additional insights, I am suggesting the following: 1) Rate every comment you read. It's quick and easy and might just result in increased income for someone. 2) Link with lots of friends, especially people who have a history of making quality comments, rating comments, uploading photos, etc. Frequent the "discussions my friends started" page and support each other in creating dynamic, content-rich discussions. 3) Find a positive spin for your comments. Negative comments can spread a bad vibe like the plague and rarely contributes much to the discussion. I'd appreciate comments about the earnings algorithm and any other ways that income can be maximized. Thanks!

I'm just getting used to things around here myself. Thanks for these tips. I have been focusing on posting quality responses. But I have not been posting topics, or pictures. And I haven't been rating posts. I should start working on those things as well. Thank you again for the insights.

thanks man given a + here is my tips 1) start a discussion with different ideas. may not be fresh topics .discussion must not be a common topic like favourite films,favourite cartoon....there are many such topics 2)whatever in your mind you can start it may be some health tips,and movies are the favourite in any forums.something that give info 3)never avoid replies. you must read all replies.u dont have to comment(it didnt give any points) just read and 4) mark a best response and all other replies which promote ur discussion, rate as (+). dont rate a negative untill it has nothing to do with discussions.check mylot earning program for more details. 5)during respond to a topic choose discussions that you are interested so you can reply as descripive as possible. this let you earn more at quality discussions.quality discussions means it should be more than 5 lines and also discussion with many response. 6)try to response rather than making discussion. start only quality and hot discussions. 7)try to help newbies with less points by replying them. because i belive in"give and take" policy.just goto "new discussion" and try to reply to ur interst.also dearch for ur fav topics and reply.more you reply more you earn.and be loyal...dont make just thanks or somethink like that ...be as discriptive as possible even the discussion has 1 line.for eg:a discussion contains "ur fav song?" only,try to reply with ur answer along with details on that song...ensure quality last but not least,dont ever ever try to cheat mylot..by doing cheating may be you can earn more but money mde will not last...so be good...then god also! dont worry when things not workout...keep trying
