How I earn on myLot

I've personally been paid once so far, and I earned far more than I expected because when Mylot cleaned up the site, my earnings went up far more than I had dreamed. In fact, I'd forgotten that that might happen before payday, even though I'd heard it from other users when I was really new on the site. I've also found, because I had less posting time the last few days and only got to post about 30-35 times each day, that what Gerty is saying here about earning about a dollar for that amount of work is right. That's also what I earned on the days that I got to post about 32 times or so, with at least one or two of those being new topics that I personally started. And posting about 30 times per day doesn't even take that long, if you have a good friend list who you know start good topics, as it's so much faster to go through email and reply to new topics from your friends that way than it is to get on the site and look through the hot topics of the day, and the new discussions, although I've done all of that, too. I just tend to try to work through my friend's discussions first, and that is the fastest part of my day when I'm typing on here. ^_^ Personally, I had days last month (at least twice) where I earned over $5 in one day. It really is possible. But i was earning closer to 4 cents per post then, which doesn't seem to be happening right now. But still, never fear. If you are posting really good quality replies and you are replyiing only to good topics, when Mylot cleans out cheaters and bad topics your earnings will go up and up. I love that! ^_^

And what is considered a good response? I always answer in detail never with a yes or no. I mainly posted so i could help you out and give you a first response for sharing. Oh and ill rate you too. Thanks for the info.

Gerty you are a good friend and a good example of what a mylot user should be like. I dont mind being asked what my average earnings are but I don't think I should break it down into the exact amount I have received for x amounts of postings etc. I saw one discussion where ech person was asked to comment and give exactly what they earned for every posting as she was trying to work out myLots algorithm (which is against the rules). She gave her own breakdown of earning and said she earned 10 cents or more on each response excluding referrels , photos etc. She promises n her next discussionhow to earn that much. Just to let you read for yourself what I think is a bad idea and can cause problems in myLot here is the link: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/788401.aspx

Oh dear that was very good GardenGerty I received my first payout it was $37.00 for the month so we must of receive the same for the month as mine was carried over from the month before. I agree what you have submitted here as I do the same. For the newbies here I do see that they are mainly only posting 1-2 lines and they need to be more than that so that you can get more response to your discussion, and also in your response to others.

I have only recently noticed that I could rate not only the discussion but also the responses, so now I take a little time and rate those too. Do you know if our earnings are a little higher if our star rating is high? Just a little curious.

Thanks for the tips GardenGerty!

That is the best earning method on mylot i have ever read so far. The others method is quite confusing compared to yours. Thanks, buddy. You really open up my eyes. I will try to follow your advice.

To be hoenst I have no clue how you make as much as you do in a day or month. I do post quality posts. I tend to make them three or four sentences. I also make new discussions. I think they good ones that will generate alot of responses. As I have posted the same question on a forum I post and get lots of responses. But than on here....some days I find no comments to my discussions. I know when I fuirst started I asked some stupid oneliners and games. But I found out how the site works and don't do that. I do all that you ask. But I am lucky to make anywhere from 40 cents to 70 cents aday. I really don't think what one person does ,works for everyone else. I have fifteeen referals. But guess what...non of them post now. A couple started and was real good posters. But for some reason...stopped!! When my referrals posted. That was the only time I made over one dollar a day. I make anywhere from ten to fifteen dollars a month off my lot. No complaints here. I am happy and thankful for what I can get. But I do wish I could make about twnety to twenty five bucks a month from my lot. The best advice I can give to new comers that you did not give yourself...would be to get some good friends who will respond to your discussions. I tend to accept all friend. Unless they have '0' responses. But that doesn't seem to help either. But I am going to keep on trying. Good luck and thanks for all the tips.

Hey whatever makes you happy go for it. If thats all you can do aday that too is fine. For me I cant spend the time here like I use to I have moved on as they say. I just want to keep my account open. Have a great day posting.LOL

Well most of the part has been added by the creator of this discussion. Very less is left. Only suggestion is please post quality replies and tag them without fail and remember to start quality discussions. Failing to do all these and repenting later saying that you loast few dollars before the payout date will not be a right thing to do.

That's just about the same thing I am doing. I really just try to follow the guidelines. I've found that it's really the best way to earn. I also try not to get drawn into some of the drama...but it's a weakness..lol I can't stand when people target others just to be hateful. I think that's why my poor reputation rating has fallen.. some people just don't belong here if you know what I mean. I really have to cut back on my friends, there is no way I can keep up with the amount I have...so If any of my other friends read this.. Please don't feel slighted if I don't respond, it's really hard to respond to everyone's posts all the time. I don't feel bad when my friends don't respond to my discussions...we can't all be interested in everything..lol I do have 4 referrals and 1 of them actually responded to 2 discussions..lol Guess I should work on that.

How does one resolve an unresolved discussions? Do you just post in your own topic?

i am still new at mylot. But from the other tips from myloters you are the best and sincerer. no body don't want to saying how much they ear today, but you do.

Thanks for the tips. I'm a newbie here. I'm noticing an income of less-than 20cents a day. Not bad for participating in a community of like-minded folks. For me, the cash is a bonus. I'm shooting for a free vanilla latte at the end of my first month. Seems reasonable. I know payout isn't until after $10 so i won't actually be able to purchase my latte until summer. It's just a minor goal. I figure, as long as I participate, my mylot account will never be empty (unlike my bank account). ;) peace.

hey - good tips ! i try to respond to as many as i can - i wish i had time for responding to more :) i do upload pics in my interests and that is one thing everyone must do ! it earns you easy money. they have a limit on no of pics you can upload - i think 20 or 30 max per day. and they pay anywhere upto 40 cents for all these pics. so it's good addition coz after 30 responses i don't even find good discussions to respond to or am too tired to reply to more.. so thats when you can start uploading pics. try it. good luck - and trust me if you do this you can cross usd 40 next month !

I would suggest you that best would be answering good responses...what i mean is the quality responses and not any junky responses unless and untill if the topic really demands...come up with really interesting discussions ....and thats way to go for really nice way of earning...

I did over 40 yesterday took a long time and all I made was 50c whilst i enjoy the postings i have come to the conclusion that the money i made was not worth the time i spent so from now on im just using this for entertainment dont expect much and you wont be dissapointed !

I'm hoping to earn just $10 this month, although I don't know if it's going to be possible. I hope so. I've only been here three days, and have fallen just under the $3 mark so far. I spent most of yesterday posting good responses, and discovered this morning that I'd earned my Star too so I'm a happy Bunny right now. I haven't posted much in the way of discussions of my own at all. I've started three - one of them didn't get a response, but the others got a couple so its not all bad. I initially joined because I was curious to see what all the fuss was about. I was pleasantly surprised. MyLot is a fantastic way to make new friends and there's advice on just about anything. The fact that we earn a little extra money at the same time is just an added bonus.

Hi there, thanks for your post, this is way helpful to us, newbies here in myLot. I have been a member for 5 days now and have barely earned only less than $2 since then. Hope that's not gonna be a shame on me. LOL Guess I gotta follow your advise, post as many as 30 in a day...hope I really can..well, crossing my fingers for this... please wish me luck!!! LOL :)

hi there GardenGerty thats where i get confused do you get paid when you reply back to people that picked my discussion or not cause i am confused about it. i try very hard on here but it is a great site mylot thanks for this discussion
