Everybody is guessing, and MyLot won't be clear. I counted everything I did yesterday. I got one penny for answering posts, and nothing for posting. I got one penny for a photo. That's it. I knew they cut the pay down very low. If not for my friends, I would be out of here now.

No. I only made exactly what I replied too, plus a couple cents. I used to get almost tripple. We used to get two and a half cents for the post, two cents to respond, and one cent for the picture. MyLot is really going to force people away, even though it is a little. Once you had more, and then they remove it, it's hard to continue working harder as they want, and getting less. I am only here for the friends, like you now. I won't be doing a lot of time on here either. Just answering posts mostly I think. How do you really feel about all this? Will wait for your reply.

They may give us a penny or a half penny for best response. That's it. Nothing for responding back and forth like this either.

I know I've only been here about two months but those are the amounts I'm averaging. 2.28 cents for each post/response/comment to be precise.
Perhaps your posts are not up to par, I'm sure after so many you must have run out of steam more than once or twice. Or perhaps you need to check the guidlines to be sure you're doing things correctly. I guess the choice is yours and if you no longer enjoy the site there's no point intstaying. Good luck to you.

Yes, I realized that we get paid more for responding as opposed to posting discussions. That is why I never understood why people would rather post 100 discussions a day rather than answer then. LOL
But do keep in mind...you get a few more pennies for best response. :D
I keep a spreadsheet in MS Excel of how many responses I make a day...and then the next day when they update with how much is earned, I update that in my spreadsheet too. This helps me to know how much I am really doing and how much to expect for my earnings. They have been rather consistent for the past couple months now.
But when I first started...it seemed like they paid more. But really...I am not going to complain. I know what to expect now and aim for responding so many times a day. :)

I hate to contridict you, but we got paid two & a half cents for posting and two cents to answer and one cent for a photo. All that has changed. Now it is only for responding and maybe something for best response. If it were not for the friends that I have met and like now, including you, I would not stay here. Thanks for responding to my post.

I hope that you do not ever plan on leaving here as I would miss you. It is ashame that the amount of pay has been reduced but I am still very happy and enjoy being here and communicating with my friends and sharing ideas and advice. I have been spending more time uploading photos from my photo album to help earn more money in addition to replying to posts.

Sorry you got so little... for my 50 posts or so I average a bit over a dollar a day. Sometimes more and I am pleased. I am pleased you are going to stay and so hope that you get to make some more money to help you along. Good luck my friend.

I responded to 44 topics on the 8th and I was paid 81 cents. Yesterday, I responded to 42 topics and I received $1.05. I also left comments after all the responses which I had received to my topics, so I don't know if that made a difference.

I have been only getting once cent for answering posts, nothing for posting, and nothing for this repling back and forth. I only know that they have cut me down 2/3rds of what I made in the past. Something fishie for sure here. Have a nice day and thanks for the response back.

I not sure if you are aware (I've mentioned it before on other discussions) but I count everything every day since my first day and Responding has always earned $0.012.., (I count them to 4 decimals points as that always fluctuates), you only earn for Discussion if two or more people respond and photos have change to $0.01 per day regardless of how many photos you post.

Hi Marcia, I'm not happy here. I do love my friends, so I pop in to answer their posts. I am tired of emailing mylot and no responses. Not understanding things, asking for help, and they ignor you. What star? Who deleted it? I may not have seen it. I try to answer all your posts honey.

Yes, I think that´s more or less what we get. I post more or less the same amount of responses every day. My earnings are not exactly the same every day though. Sometimes I earn 1 or 2 cents more than others.
Recently I posted just one answer for which I received "best response" and I earned 3 cents.
We´re near to payout, where we will see our final earnings.
Let´s see what happens this time. Maybe your earnings will go up.

Its really interesting to see that everyone is so sure of what mylot pays and yet we all think something different. I know its about 1 cent a response and I seem to get paid when others answers my discussions. I don't really know what the payments are..... I enjoy being here still though and would miss not coming here sometimes to check out how everyone is doing. Hope you all hang around for a while.

If you read what I wrote to Marcia above, u will see how I feel. I am trying to respond to your posts though. I am very unhappy with Mylot.

I have noticed the exact same thing. I don't think that it's asking too much of myLot to disclose how they pay us and how much they pay for posts, photos, and comments in discussions that you've started. It seems as if they do whatever they feel like day by day, because things are just so unpredictable here. I'm with you; if it weren't for the fact that I like the people here and it's still fun, I would be gone just on principle.

I tred to figure out what I was getting but it seems that I get different pay for different days. It never seems to be the same even if I do the same things.

I think Mylot cut the pay way down low also at some point. For me, it seems to be on the way back upwards again. I never did see any earnings for posting any of my discussions so I just started replying to other members. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong here. I just figured that my friends must be earning very well by posting alot of discussions daily and some of us members responding to them. Alot of people say their earnings have been almost cut in half. Is yours on the way back up now? Mine sure seems to be, but I don't think it is as much as it was when I started here in January. I'm not really sure. I know mine has gone down a little bit because I am not being able to respond to as many discussions as I was responding to when I started at Mylot.

i dont think your math is right. I get 1 cent per photo posted. For replying to discussions i get about 2-3 cents per post i made 20 posts yesterday and i got about 58 cents today. I think they have it fixed so we can never truly figure out what we are making. Even when i hardly post i am making at least quarter a day.
I am not that hungry for money but it seems maybe some people here are and thats why they want to complain about the amount. I think also its the lack of lines and description in your replys if your not making anything.

They pay that in the beginning dear. You do not have enough points to realize the cut back.

Yeah, it's getting real low, kinda hard to stay motivated. Especially when it was so easy to do a 1.00 a day, and now I think I'm doing a lot, then log on the next day and the pay is hardly anything. I'm not on as much anymore because of that. I usually just answer a few a day, and that's it. Average about .10-.25 now. Not making my monthly payouts of 10.00, every other month now :( Oh well, guess we shouldn't complain-too much anyway, at least it's something, and they do pay....

Oh I know they only pay that much. It is better than nothing though, don't you think? I love my friends and it keeps me grounded and sane. I feel as if I have a family here! If I did not have people like you as a friend I would be going batty. Thanks for staying.

I know the feeling. That's what I notice too. When I didn't post a single discussion for 3 days and just keep responding, my earnings are still quite satisfactory. With so many new members joining every minute, I don't know how mylot is gonna pay us that much. The money really is not that much.

It appears to be incredibly random. One day I started a couple threads, responded to a number, and made 31 cents. The next day I went hardcore, made a bunch of threads, and made 15 cents, lol.
