I spend a fair amount of time at Mylot, but a lot of that time is spent browsing through the categories and locating discussions that appeal to me. I never rush about posting wildly, so as a result the level of earnings is often minimal. This is not a problem to me because I prefer to enjoy my time here, but of course it is nice to acquire a little extra earnings now and then. Yesterday I earned exactly $1, which is the first time that I have reached that milestone. I realise that many members are earning much more than this, but it was still a wonderful surprise for me and a great way to end the month. Does anyone else feel so elated when they earn a mere $1?

I always make a dollar my goal for the day so when I do reach this then I do get excited over this . Although it seems that now we are getting paid more here , so now I am going to raise my goal to at least two dollars a day . I love this site and enjoy it very much and hope it will be around for a long time and the new changes they make seem to indicate that things are getting better :)

Quite a few members have set targets for themselves, which can be useful if you wish to reach a certain level. As you say, the changes here will provide income for the site and that is a good thing for us all.

Earning $1 in a day is a huge achievement congratulations for reaching this level. You can reach your payout in just ten days if you earn daily like this!

I have yet to earn $1 in one day, I think the most I've gotten was 73 cents. I'm like you, I don't post just to earn; I want to actually be interested in the discussions I reply to. I hear we are earning more since the upgrade, but I missed posting on the first few days after it took effect, so I can't say I've seen a measureable difference in my earnings yet. But if it is true, I may top $1 this month, especailly if I have another rainy day off like I have today. I'll probably be pretty happy whenit does happen, too, even though I earn more in far less time at my regular job. I guess the fact that this is completely optional and fun is what gives us that "high" for earning while we are doing it.

It is far more satisfying posting with interest rather than purely to attain credtit, which is why it took so long for me to finally reach a $1 day. Your 73 cents is still a worthy earning and I would expect that you qualify for payout each month.

So far I have reached payout every 2 months, because some days I don't post at all. Usually, 25-30 cents is my average, I think. I've only been here 3 going on 4 months, but my typing speed has greatly improved so I may start making payout every month after this.

Absolutely! I joined in the end of November, didn't even make minimum amount, but I got over $1 twice. In December, I did it 7 times. In January, I did it 4 times, and one of those times it was over $2...who knows how I did that! Didn't make it in February and in March I only did it 3 times. Most days it is less than 50 cents! Congratulations! It is exciting to me to actually make it to the minimum $10 for the month!

I usually make the minimum $10 per month, although I did fall a few cents short in February. That is really the only target that I have, so $1 in a day was quite a surprise for me.

$2 in a day? really great to hear. I must be appreciate if you can tell us that day's activity of you, which lead you to make more than $2 in a single day. This information could greatly useful to other myLotters to increase their earnings. Anyway all the best and keep it up. Happy earning.......

That was what made it so pleasing to receive a dollar, because I do not chase the earnings or set myself any targets to reach.

Well, I think I earned my very first dollar for 5 days because at first I'm not that active at mylot because of some other priorities in life but I'm in no rush to earn a lot in here. I'll just patiently find the discussion I'm really interested into and don't force myself in replying posts that I really don't like.

Would like to congratulate you forehand for earning $1 in a day time. Even i prefer enjoying my time here going through good discussions and the responses to them. So far i have earned $0.78 in a day and that was the highest til yesterday. But yesterday i earned $1+ For around some 30 responces which even i dint notice i just went on responding for those discussions which i felt was interesting. That was great actually to earn $1 in a day and wish you good luck in the future and wish you will earn more than $1 a day. All the best friend.

I tend not to notice how many responses I have made for the very same reason. I can find a couple of discussions of interest immediately when I visit Mylot or spend an hour browsing before finding any.

My biggest earning is close to $3 and I was so happy to acive that. usually i end up around a dollar - and that is good for me =) Congrats on your dollar - keep it up!

$3 is quite an amount with the rate of earnings at Mylot. You must either have a lot of referrals or be extremely active to reach that level, or of course both.

I was absent from Mylot for several months last year, but in my case it was due to the amount of time that work was consuming. I can imagine how disappointing it must have been for you to have a reduction in earnings like that. Anyway, welcome back to Mylot.

Thank you my dear friend for welcoming back to mylot,i will stay from now onwards in mylot. In this way a new friendship may grew up.

Well, congratulations! Raising my glass to your success! By the way, be careful, Asylum. I had a similar post about how much I earned in one day and it was actually more than a dollar. When I reviewed my discussions lately I found out that it was deleted because it violated myLot rule. But it took several months before they tracked it.

This discussion is over a year old now, so it has lasted the test of time. Funnily enough I have only earned a dollar a few times since, yet I earned $1.20 in a day a week ago.

Really? That's good! Maybe you got a good friend inside. Just kidding! Well, it's really good you get a dollar a few times. I think I only did once. Anyway, I need to improve my writing I guess.

I been making around $1.75 each day, but for the last few days I actually made over $2 so of course that was a major achievement for me and I felt very proud of myself lol. I realize that Mylot have given us a pay raise of sorts and so this has contributed in a huge way, but it's still nice to see your earnings go up consistently. Congratulations to you on making a full dollar for the first time .... here's to many more of them :o)
@Asylum (47893)

$2 is a very impressive figure, especially since I know that you post responsibly and do not just submit anything to qualify as making a response. you must be spending a great deal of time on Mylot.
• Philippines
2 Apr 07
Wow, that's a lot. I wonder how much time do you spend in myLot. Or how many post you make to earn $1.75 daily? How I wish I can do that too.

It will be happy if i can earn more than 1 dollar, thr actual figure may not really meaningful as 1 dollar everyday is not that much anyway,but the smount of satisfaction i get is unlimited. It seems that many new members ae doing quite well as i read their posts, some had just earned 3 or dollars a day for 50 posts. It seems that new members are paid better than old members. Anyway, mylot had already increased my earnings on average,I should not have any more complains. Enjoy your time in mylot and have fun here.

This is very true, a dollar is certainly not much money and hardly worth celebrating, whereas the earning of a dollar at Mylot is quite good and and made me feel great.

Good luck to you in my lot, i am also new to my lot, and have just made .21cents, and am happy. I too just see 5-6 discussions, and not much, but once i make 10$, then will devote more time to mylot, for sure

I can understand that because it is always difficult to count earnings as income until you actually recieve the first payment. I hope that you reach the minimum payout without too much problem.

Hello bro, I see this discussion still getting its 'hotness' and I would love to contribute something to it, though it's a year back. -smiles- It's certainly great to be earning $1 and that kind of feeling is certainly joyful. A buck means nothing to most people but the sense of achievement to get here in mylot is pretty much amazing, I must say. It shows the theory and the prove that it is possible to be earning something online. That's great. When I get earnings from mylot and my review site, I am very much happy because I know that I would have some extra money to spend for the month, plus my salary. Continue your good discussions here and certainly enjoy your time and especially the earnings. The earnings is definitely a great and amazing bonus. Take care and have a nice day. :)-

Hi Asylum! good thing to know that... me I earn 1$ for 3 days using mylot hehehe. Im glad you did earn 1$ for a day. i think I might be focusing more on mylot and let say if I can also earn the way you did. I will let you know if I do.

It is not easy to make progress at first, so do not be discouraged. As time passes you find Mylot easier to navigate and it gets easier to find appropriate subjects to reply to.

Congrats on getting your $1 now don't go spending it all at once, don't go and splash out on that red ferrari you've always wanted! Seriously tho' I think if we were here only for the money then we'd have given up on day 2. It's the community spirit, making friends and getting the chance to put our two penneth worth across! Keep up the good work! $1 today $1.01 tomorrow!

I would not even consider squandering my hard earned cash on such a frivolous thing as a tacky ferrari. You are right of course, if the attraction was puely money then Mylot would be deserted.

Good to know that you have earned $1 in a day. I did sometime earn $1 or little more than that, but it's rare. It seems that Mylot has raised our earnings a little. So, I think it will be little easy than before to earn $1 per day. It's really good for us to get that extra money. Good Luck!

A few people have commented on the increased earnings, but I never keep track of how much I have posted so it is difficult for me to tell.

Last Wednesday, I earned $1.14!!! That was the 28th and i'd only done 27 posts. I was so pleased and proud of myself. I told a friend yesterday and he looked at me like I was stupid and then laughed at me when he realised i was serious, The numbers are truly pathetic so i wonder why we are so thrilled to bits about it. LOL

The earnings are certainly not likely to make us rich, but it is comparative. It is not the actual monetary figure that is so exciting but the fact that we have reached a certai milestone.

well, I hope I can make one dollar here in mylot daily, now I upload about 10-30 photos in order to earn few cents, so how you make that dollar, how much your referral earn for you? I have four not active referrals, and I earn just for uploading photos, and make one or two responses daily, I don't know how to increase my earnings here!
@Asylum (47893)

Uploading photos will not improve your earnings unless they are included in discussions and relevant to the topic. Mylot stopped paying for photos uploaded to the My Photos section quite a while ago. Your best approach would be to concentrate on topics of interest to you, which will make posting responses much easier.

$1 is a very high amount for me. Usually I earn about 50cents a day and I spent a lot of time in mylot. But the truth is that i spent most of that time read discussions and I take part on them only if I have something to say. Maybe this is the reason why I never earn that much, but at least I have a very good time here.

The enjoyment is naturally more important than earnings, especially since the money is nothing special, but it is still a great feeling to reach a new target.

Hello. Congratulations! I asked this similar question as well. And I think that I am going to try to set my goal to make at least a dollar in a day! So I better get busy. I think that you have to respond to a lot of questions and start some discussions. In 3 days I made 31 cents but I would like to post a lot just to see if I can actually make some cash!

Earning is always slow during the first couple of days while you get accustomed to the site, but you will find it easier as time goes on.
