Real money to be made here?

Singapore
February 25, 2007 6:37am CST
I know I am a skeptic but I am sure there are enough people who are in this category and who are here as well. So, for those who have been here for a while, is it really true that real money can be made here? I mean, we just "talk" and get paid? What is the income of "average earners" like? - if you spend say just 1-2hrs daily? Thanks for replying! ;-)

sure lordwarwizard. i got paid last month by mylot. i got over 30 dollars. we get an average of 1 cent per post. there are good times that we get 2 or 3 or more cents of quality posts we make. you should try to post at least 30 good discussions everyday to earn close to a dollar. 2hours here in mylot you will earn about 1 dollar or over a dollar. it depends. if you have active referrals you earn more because you get 25% of your referrals earnings.

I finished about 50 posts when the update came.. and for these 50 posts, it was only a mere 8 cents. Yet you said that we get 1 cent per post on average? Are there any guidelines for making more money here? And I really don't think a real person looks through all the posts to decide how much we get. So how is a post judged "quality"?

me, i'm not speedy in typing..i reckon maybe around 20 wpm but the hardest to accept is my 'slow thinking' syndrome.. i just thought that is my disorder coz honestly i find myself more focused on the sentence structure/coherence/spelling, not the spontaneity in writing things as it come to my mind even replying short messages.. being said that i just post responses at an average of 3 an hour (lesser) and the worth of each..pitiful. maybe i need to undergo hypnotic treatment..and reconfigure my brain..sigh

Ok I will check my mail. But $2 per day during good times only? Now that's... demoralizing.. :(

Hello,wizard,it was a discussion 4 months ago and it should be the time you just joined mylot.I also had same feeling like you at the beginning but there is no doubt about earnings now as we can always get our payment ontime if we meet the payment target.I think if we just spend 1 or 2 hours daily,we may only be able to earn 10 cents or so everyday,and you may be able to cash out after few months.:P

Let me guess... you can't find any topic to reply (like me). :P And are you saying you are making 10-20 cents per hour?

easy, I was asking because 10-20 cents per hour seems too little for someone of your caliber. :P berlinlife: 3h and $2? Nice... Are you talking about long ago? I don't think the paying rate is half as good as last time...

I usually make about $25-30 and I know that does not cover alot. I have them all in my paypal and use them for ebay or other shopping =) I guess there are people making alot more, and I have seen people that do.. However i am happy with my 30, and the time i spend here. I guess i would make more if i started more discussions that generated alot ore replies. I usually do not get near 100 =) I concentrate more on replying to others *lol*

Yes you are actually paid here for posting discussions. If you spend 1-2 hours daily you will be able to make around thirty dollars at the end of the month. The more you spend time on my lot the more you will be able to earn.

Actually if I think about it, $30 can't even pay for my broadband subscription. :(

I wouldn't call this REAL MONEY. I can earn my $10 per month. But it takes HOURS every day to earn that much. If you really add up the time, you are earning PENNIES on the hour. So is it really worth your time? If you are only interested in money, you'd make tons more even at a minimum wage job for the same time expenditure. But if you ENJOY being in mylot, than the pennies are just an extra added bonus.

Now if I had a question like this you would be the first one I would go to. You have so many posts and have great responses so I would think you would be one of the highest paid here. I was reading the answers to your post and it got me wondering if a person posts 2 sentences compared to someone that posts a lengthy post would they get the same amount of pay? I don't think that should be right either or we could all just go around saying great post and then get paid more. I wish I had the answers to these questions cause now you have me thinking. I have not really figured it out because when I think I have it down that isn't what I get paid the next day so go figure. Sorry I am no help to you.

I guess it's a natural feeling. Most of us feel this way when we are new to this site. Even my friends in our country don't believe that this site really pay their members. I have not receive any payment yet with MyLot because of e-gold problem. I was supposed to have it this month of May but unfortunately I have to hold it for the better. I don't earn much with this site but I enjoy reading discussions and posting topics. We can learn so much from different poeple's perception.

I guess we do make money here.... mostly chum change and some entertaining time chatting with others at the same time. I doubt anyone can survive on the earnings from this site alone. How many posts can one make in a day? Even if we were to sit down for straight 8 hours (like we do in the office) and post full time, I doubt we can make enough to even cover rent! But it is fun to be able to chat with people from all over the world and get paid for it.
