well it's a very difficult thing for me to start my own discussions as i just couldn't think of any good subject. that's why i like to read others discussion and replying to them more than starting any myself.i wasn't giving it much thought from the earning's point of view until i saw that my brother, who too have an acount on mylot and is not very active, is still earning more than me though the only difference between us is that he posts his own ones and i don't!!! i reply pretty often and also upload pics then why is my earning not growing rapidly? does posting ur own discussions helps earn faster regardless of how many responses u get on them? can anyone who only replies to others' postes can survive only on his replies when it comes to earn more and faster? i really need to clear my doubts so i could change my policy before the next payout. what u guys have to say?

Dear kaplya I would like to tell you my experience here -- Ond day I guess I started just -- 1 or 2 discussions and haven't got so much replies to them .. I responded to 38 - 40 discussions and that reply was not a one liner .. it has atleast 5 - 6 lines and it makes sense. So I waited for the next day for the earning to get updated and I found that I exactly made $1 in that day. So there is nothing wrong if you won't start your own discussion and respond to other's discussion.. Take your time to think about how should you start your discussion and when you get some idea in your mind then go ahead. You know you have many friends who will definitely respond to your discussions.. One more thing -- whenever u start discussions -- do remember to add image -- it gives $0.01 for uploading that image. Wish you all the best with your earnings and may u earn more and more dollars here on mylot. Happy mylotting my dear friend :)

Hello kaplya. I normally post one thread a day and had received a fair numbers of responses. From this one thread and posting about 30 to 40 responses, my earnings will be over $2. Your earnings from posting a single discussion will start rolling once you generate 10 responses. If you posted about 50 to 60 long liners responses, you will also have good earnings. I'm not very active lately and had limited posting my to about 2 discussions a week only. I tried to catch up on my friend's discussions as well and so far, my earnings is still good. Just keep trying and you will see the day that you will have good earnings too. Good luck.

hello Charms:) it seems it takes a lot of hard work earning through responding only as everyone is telling here that we need to post at least more than 30 replies to earn a good amount in a day. but yes.. now i have more time to spend here. thanx for wishing me good luck^^ hope we'll see you here more often in coming days, like before:)

Maybe your borther has had referals sign up is why he's earning more. But the responding vs starting discussions debate isn't any set one. You make from 1 to 3 cents per discussion started and I believe 1 cent per response. As far as posting photos you earn 1 cent for each. But that.s for photos added to discussions you start. Thats included in the above 1 - 3 cents. You dont earn for posting photos on your own page. Hope this helped some. If I'm wrong along any lines I'm sure I'll be corrected. Enjoy your time here and Happy postings from Grandpa Bob

I'm a poor poster of discussions as well. I will think of a subject and then do a search of myLot and find 10 discussions on the same subject!! I did read somewhere that you really start to earn on your discussions when you have had 10 responses or more - can't proove it though. I have to say that although I earn over $10 a month (and I really have been paid - thanks myLot!) my referrlas help me a lot. I just enjoy being here and chatting - the cents are an extra for me. By the way, I love your avatar!!

yes i think i should also try to make new referrals for earning faster. one person was saying that u get 1 cent for each response on ur posts...but it sounds somewhat confusing and i m not very sure for that fact.i'll check on this 10 responses fact for being paid:) and i m glad that u liked my avatar, thank u for that^^
