Because mylot does not reveal it's earnings algorithm or rates, many users have tried to experimental with several techniques to increase their earnings. Here are some of the tried-and-tested methods that do work to noticeably increase daily earnings.
1. Set a target to hit and resolve to complete it within the day. For example, you might decide to start at least 10 discussions and/or write at least 50 responses to questions every day.
2. Divide your work. Work at answering questions before beginning to start discussions. I usually fell that this helps to speed up your rate while keeping you focused.
3. Start open-ended discussions. Don't ask questions that can lead a yes/no answer. This increases the overall quality of your discussions.
4. Reply to everyone that responds to your discussions topics. This has benefit of prolonging the discussions and increases your earnings.
5. Rate each reply to your questions by actively using the + and - buttons at the bottom of every reply.
6. Use a lot of tags for every question or reply. If you ask questions in a specific area, write down the tags in a notepad so you can copy and paste immediately after posting relipes or discussion topics. Tags definitely increase your earnings while ensuring that your discussions is more widely read.
7. Post interesting pictures to discussions as well as the interests section. You'll get paid for images too so it's good to put some effort in that.
8. Don't only post in one topic, try spending more time on a wide variety of topics. Some users have claimed that posting consistently in one topic to reduces the rate of earnings.
9. Maintain high quality posts. The strength of your post partially depends on the + and - rating next to it. Encourage your readers to rate your discussions well.
10. Work with other MyLot fans. Start a group of determinded posters and work with them by mutual responding to each other's discussions.
11. Complete the 'My Interests' section and start a discussion by clicking on one of the interest categories. This is possibly leads toincreased earnings and also greater profile views/interaction.
12. Rotate posting duties. Get someone to post on your behalf using the same account. Stick with a brother/sister or friend who you can trust. Take the turns posting at different hours of the day of course, try to share the profits!13. Link off your blog. If you run a blog, lead your readers to MyLot discussins you've started by dropping a link at the end of your blog post. If they're MyLot users, they'll probably partcipate and extend the discussions. If They aren't, you'll post likely get a new referral.
That's all, good luck!

Those are mostly nice tips.
My only concern is #12. I think this goes against the mylot agreement, and you can get booted for it. Instead of having people post for you, why don't you sign them up as referalls under you. That will help you earn money, and you won't be doing anything unethical.

hey friend,...thanks for giving suggestions,and i am very happy with mylot payments, every time i am geting more than my expectations,well how much time we spends on mylot and how much they pays, the answer is not actually any precise, infact how much they are paying you, is all depends on how quality response you are posting to discussions here, just keep seraching good discussions in your interests and post your reply only when you know something baout those discussions, strictly avoid one liner posts, keep uploading photos which boosts your earning, i hardly spends one or two hours in mylot, and keep searching good discussions to reply, morever i upload photos too, best luck to you and happy earning!!!

Another question. Do we have to start a discussion? That's the only thing I have not done were in mylot.
Do you think my earnings will not be that big if I don't start discussions?
Thanks.

tagging doesn't help, tried that and contacted mylot about it. that doesn't boost ratings. one thing that does, however, is to have your posts rated positively. my husband and I both have accounts and we rate one anothers posts. This has boosted it significantly

Thanks for that very informative piece, I have downloaded the picture attached to it, and wondered. Is that your's? If it is, it's very good! You have only 265 discussions and have already earned $30.00! How did you do it? By the way, I have rated your discussion +.
