Last night, I've spent hours responding to many discussions in myLot, hoping that my earnings will skyrocket today. I've posted and posted but I only earned a miserable 6 cents!!! 6 cents for all those hours??? What's wrong??
I've posted long comments too, not one word or one-liner ones.

Josette_J I have to say you're more luckier than me, because you're 1 cent more than what I earned yesterday.
Sometimes you have to participate more than 20 discussions, to earn atleast a dollar for a day. And also try to respond responsibly to posts, avoid responsing with two-liners or even a sentence or two. Try to limit your answer to atleast 3 sentences, just a tip in case you haven't noticed yet.
And if you think you did your part, maybe mylot was also just calculating and screening all our posts because payout date is coming near..

Hi there! I've got my earnings updated correctly already. Thanks for the advice. I've learnt my mistake earlier because I used to give only one-liner answers. But, I don't do that now since I don't want to see my earnings crawl up slowly.

Always the few days before payday the earnings are a bit erratic. Don't worry Iamsure Mylot will recompenseyou for your hard work. Be patient and see what happens in a few days. Usually things get adjusted and you WILL get paid. Take care..

If you posted long comments then I don't understand the problem either. A few times I've only posted a few comments, some long, some short, and I've made a whole buck. Maybe MyLot is just trying to keep us on our toes. Who knows?

I've done the same, last month made 20 posts a day and made from 0.80 - 1$
THis month have been doing the same thing and got 0.3-0.5$
I have a theory that mylot has either made the paid per rate lower or i have been getting less for my posts...

Are you sure that your earnings dropped even though you've been doing the same thing like last month? Oh, then that's bad news! I wish myLot would increase our earnings.

You will never be able to earn as much off of responding to posts on MyLot as you will be able to earn from a real job. But to answer your question, it may have something to do with the time of night that you did all of these responses. Sometimes posts that I make at night time don't show up as earnings for that day, it shows up for the next day. You might need to wait an extra day to see if it just got postponed because you were on so late.

Yeah, I figured that out. And yeah, we can't really depend wholly on myLot. The payment here is quite sad actually. And I won't be so impatient anymore. I'll wait an extra day to see how much I've earned.

Mylot has late updates in their computation for our earnings. I noticed that 3 days ago ,when i checked my Earnings it seams there are delays. But hopefully my cents gradually increasing. So if you worry that you earnings so small however, you posted nice discussions and responses try missing a 1-day or 2-day your then back tommorow dramatically your earnings increase pretty well.

Yeah, I guess myLot has late updates! Oh, so you had delays too. I'm glad it was just a delay. I thought they were deducting my earnings or something.

Not to worry about that. The earnings are sometimes delayed until the next day. What happened to you, happened to me a couple of days ago, when I posted about 100 times and was only paid 1 cent. The next day I didn't post anything at all and was paid a large amount of money! Just wait until tomorrow and you will get your money at tomorrow's update.

Wow, 100 posts a day? Not bad. I'm glad you got your earnings because i've got mine. You were right, they paid me today.

I too get very less. But I do not work hard. I use to answer in myLot ans and when i feel like. Sopme times I do not answer in myLot! Hence my earning is very less.

If you want to get more, then just write long posts. That's what I'm going to do from now on. Not going to do like 40 to 50 posts a day.

i don't know how they calculate our earnings here...but keep on and you'll earn something more next time I am sure...I have learnt that we earn something even though we make comments to other people's posts and if we add a brief comment to pictures we have in our discussions or profile..maybe you can try and do something like this too

Yes, I'm going to keep on posting. And I've got my earnings too! Okay, I'll try to add comments to pictures.

Sometimes I think I post too close to the cutoff time and I end up getting a whole lot of money the next day. Maybe that's what happened to you? The update time was weird yesterday.

Yeah, I think I got confused with the time. Malaysia's time is earlier than the US, so I got a little mixed up. Anyway, I got my earnings!

Actually I put my best effort so far on that day and I actually got less that the day where I was less active. I only got 0.36. I am not too worried about that though. I believe we are sharing with lots of people now so probably that's why our earnings are affected. Just keep on posting!

Well, all you gotta remember is to post long, good, quality posts so that your earnings will be higher. It works and I've my right earnings.
