Hey Mylotters,I was reading all the rules this morning and how to raise your pay...It said that you not only make money for posting but you also make money from committing on all post and also for your answers..It also said that if you rate the questions,answers, and reply you also gain points...I try ro rate the post,the questions and the committs but now that i know this I will start doing it all the time...I also have failed a few times th add tags,but you get credit for everything you do..this is the way i understand it..So have you all been doing that?

I try to remember to tag my OWN posts. I try to comment on replies to my posts, but sometimes I just don't feet that everything needs a reply.... I don't rate everything, I'm pretty lazy, but if I find a post really good I will rate it. I try & let a few responces to come on a post before I mark one best.

It talked about tagging and rating,the rating is on the side where the plus sign like + - !, signs are...It also said if you answer a post you earn and when you commit on another persons commit you get credit for all that so Im going to do it nd see..

That's how you make money. I was really busy yesterday and only had time to post 4 comments on other people's discussions. But, my four comments earned me $0.13, which really isn't bad, since I hear a lot of people saying they only make a penny for their comments.

Longer posts get higher pay; if you remember your spelling and grammar, they both count!

That is a good one . Its time the " a penny for your thoughts" was revamped.I got $0.13 for four posts too. Do we get more per post if we continue to post ; or does it remain fixed?

Ok, I've read the guidelines a hundred times and I never saw that we got paid for comments, answers or that you gain points for rating everything. My understanding is "we" as members determine what other people's ratings will be - good ratings will earn more where bad ratings less (one person isn't going to effect that it's the over all rating).
Where did you read all of this? I'm dieing to know because I do rate everything (good or bad) but I do not comment on every response - if I did that I wouldn't have time to do anything else.

Do you mean commenting on everyone who responds to your discussions? If, so thanks I will try this. I do like mylot I just wish it paid a little more for all the time I put into it! As of today I've only made 2.12 cents since I've joined and it's been well over a month.

Hey thanks for the tips. I try to reply to all the comments that I get but I have not been rating them. This is all still new to me. I can build a website but I couldn't find the link to upload photos. LOL. Thank you for helping us make more money.

You do not earn a point for each time you tag, or rate, but it seems to me that you do earn overall more cents per post when you have done all of these things. So, for instance, do not rate me and expect to gain one point, but rate every one, and tag, and instead of one cent per point, you may earn 3 cents per point.

You dont actually get anything from commenting on peoples comments to your discussions! it actually states in the rules not to do that... but you get paid for many things on mylot... for every 10 responses to discussions you start you get a cent... for every response you make you can get between 1 and 3 cents depending on how well you have responded and if you get good ratings for that comment... if you get given a best response you get given a little bit more than a normal response... if you get given + ratings for discussions you start or responses you make you also get a little bit more although not much... all you have to remember on mylot is that is is quality not quantity on here... i have been here 4 months and not even reached 500 posts and yet i know i have been paid more than some that are on 2000 posts for the pure fact that i give long(ish) detailed replies whereas some of them just post like crazy and do not get as much because they have not recieved +'s or best responses! see you around!

Like when someone starts a discussion,then you rely you get credit...and if you commit on other peoples answers you get credit..then when you rate the questions,like the plus and minus signs and the abuse things on the side...then when you tag you earn....It said everything that you do they give you credit...Also if you refer someone and they join,whatever they make you get 25% of their earnings.

thanks for sharing this information and also now i have to revisit the myLot rules. what i understood from the early days of posting here is that comments get paid less than when you actually respond to the discussions. well, either way, it pays. that's the point. and personally, i like commenting back to those that reply to my discussions, it like affirming or adding more info on their replies.

Thanks for posting this one, slickcut..and making all the rest of us here on mylot know the basic rules in earning...well, I used to always rate the responses I got for my discussions and the discussions of others which I believe deserve to be rated... I also leave comments but I admit not really all the time...well, only when I have something else to add on... and for the tags, I do have a couple of tags added to my posts... do they have a minimum number of tags needed before you can earn a credit?
and I guess you miss out something here, I believe we can also get credits for the images we add to our post... :P Godbless and Happy posting!

Hi rogen,I think you do great,you seem like a very nice person...I was just looking at those rules again and i found all this...I think you do great.you was able to answer one question for me that no one else good,and i thank you....yes you do get credit for images for sure,i found that out right away..Rating your answers are also good too...I think as far as the tags they like you to do that to keep things in order,but i always tag the same thing the one that starts the discussion tags....I was reading last night to about watching out for abusers...I don't know if you get anything for that,but they said not to let someone talk nasty and curse without letting them know..They said that they wanted this to be a clean site and sometimes they miss something.they are depending on us to help keep this site clean...

Hey Slickcut, yep, I always try to rate everything I read, so then I make more money. I noticed when I don't I don't make as much that day as the days that I do, so I always try to. Speaking of which, I am off to rate this posting. BTW I normally rate + unless the response is off topic, or an incomplete answer. You know those one or two word answers. I also had people put in random characters like "ajkleomdju" and of course them get a - rating. I try to wait a week before marking best answer, just to make sure the best answer is the one that gets marked.

Thank you for the tips, there are times that I do forgot to tag and I usually don't comment.just plain posting and responding to several discussions, I've just learned also that uploading a photo will add up to your earnings too..so I might try to do them all. I can't wait to reach my pay out limit.
