To figure out your average amount of money you get for each post, take the total amount of money you have made so far and divide it by how many posts you have made.
My average is about 6 cents a post.
That is including my referral money as well. I guess I need to subract that. Ok, let me try again...
Ok... I guess I really make like 5 cents a post. That's not too bad. But that sounds like so little when you say it like that.
So... what do you make for each post?

Hey rachelcaron...if you get 5 cents per post, then you are really doing very good job here. I mean i do get 2 cents per post here, even i dont have any referal here, morever i keep spending less time in mylot and also respond to very few discussion whisch really i likes and i want to reply, may be because of taht i am getting less than yours, isn't it?....what you say?

When I reply to discussion I try to write at least a few sentences and I always use tags. I wonder if that helps? I wasn't sure, but I guess it does.

Right now I'm getting a little over 4 cents a post but not quite 5 cents. I'm not complaining either :)
I think you are doing awesome rachel - keep up the great work!!

can you tell me if we get money for the reponses we give to other peoples discussion or the responses we get for the discussions we started..or to start a new discussion,I am a little confused to calculate this?

I really don't think we get paid for people that respond to our discussions. Here is why.... there have been a few days that I didn't write anything, but noticed that people still posted things on discussions I had started previous days. I made $0 on those days. so, that shows that even if people respond you won't make money.
Has anyone else seen that as well?

Yes I've noticed that as well, but I wonder if we get paid for rating the responses to our discussions, so, if you don't rate a discussion on a day that you don't respond to anyone else's then you probably won't get paid, perhaps MyLot only pays out if you have actually looked at the responses to your discussions. I don't really know if this hypothesis is correct, but you could try it out sometimes.

LOL!!! $0.71 cents a post!! This is mainly due to my seven referrals. I find that funny though. Yeah. Excluding referral earnings I would say about 5 cents a post. I haven't yet been payed but am half way there so am pleased. I would say 5 cents is fairly good considering it is quite fun (to a certain extent) to post and share your opinion.

I think it's best if I don't try and figure out what I make for post. It may depress me. LOL Don't you get some kind of credit for responses to your discussion? Do you need to factor that in too!

I'm not sure about that. There was one day where I didn't write anything, but I noticed people did respond to my discussions and I also rated some comments, but I didn't make any money that day.

U know theis amount is not fixed and depends upon various factores like ur star rating. How often u reply to the discussion started by you. How many best responses you have. etc...
Currently i hv only 3 cents per posts...which initially was 2 cents and in between it was 1 cent per posts for 2-3 days.

You don't get a star until you have reached 100 posts. Not sure it is going to help but I plan to find out. I'll never make a living on this site, but I am having a great time pratcipating in all the discussions.

Wow! You make a lot more than me, I figure my average is around two cents per post and some days it's even less. I've spent hours trying to figure out the payrate here, but I don't seem to be able to. I've stopped trying, I figure it's a waste of my time. I'll just go on answering posts and starting discussions and having fun :) Happy posting .

Yeah, I'm at $.02 a post. I guess that's what I should expect for putting my two cents in.

My average post cent is 2 cents. That is ok because I can post about 10 to 20 or more posts in a day. That will figure out to about 20-40 cents a day without referrals. If it is the weekend, though, I will get double that making it 40-80 cents a day without referrals. I, so far, have made a little bit from posting on this website. I think if you put a lot of material and quantity into all of your posts, then you will recieve a large sum next time your payroll comes around.

I think friend for my knowledge and experience I can tell this for you. thats is if you can responed to 20 topics and if you can create more than 4 topics you can easily earn $1. that means you get $.2 per respond. and if you do more and you can earn massively. believe me it is so fun to earn in here. and you may get more and more each and every day. what ever finally we get maximun out of we done.

Good for you... coz i earn only 2 cents per post, on the average (excluding referrals). I only have 2 referrals, and i earn 20 cents minimum per day from them... maybe if the number of my referrals increases, i would earn well here. so i hope i can get more people to join mylot. for the meantime, i'm just enjoying responding to discussions (whenever i have time =)).

I haven't calculated exactly but I can estimate that if I posts round about 40-50 posts per day the average I get from those posts are above dollar. I don't know that they are less or equal or more in comparison to the quantity I posts.

Less than 2 cents a post. Much better than 1 cent a post. But I hope to make more someday soon.

My average would be about 2-4cents per post. I don't have refers though. I do know they make a big difference.
