Yes, you get paid for that!

I also beleive that myLot must be taking into consideration each and every activity we do on myLot for deciding our earnings and for our reputation.I get this feeling as their payouts and ratings are different for different members.Further they themselves tell in their guidelines that their mathmaticians have put in a lot of hard work in deriving the algorithem for the payouts.Also their are many discussions devoted to the things which will help in increasing the earnings.If you don't do something , say for example ypu don't rate the responses, then I think the payout rate will not include the rate they must have decided for ratings.So you will not be paid for ratings.I must add that these are all guesses as there is nothing certain about what mylot do in deriving the earnings for its members.

Yes, desertdarlene, we get paid for all activity, participation, images we download and the referrals we bring to the site. I think sometimes people may not realize that MyLot grades on the quality of the activities we do. We get paid based on the quality, length, and description of our posts, for tagging our posts with descriptive and traffic-drawing keywords as well as having different images on our posts via uploading pictures. We also need to rate our discussions and mark best responses, so people will get feedback. I also recommend posting individual responses to your discussion questions/comments if the number is small enough for you based on your typing speed and time. Take care.

How much do I get per post??? First of all why should MyLOt pay me for postings? I really do not understand this system.

How much hv u been paid till date. I hvn't got anything yet. Wat bout u?

People seem to think that they get paid only for things that increase the number next to their name. They don't realize that mylot gives out payments based on a lot of other factors. And one factor is that they will take money away from you if you have a pattern of giving a lot of negatives.

After reading your topic of discussion, I count my earning for the posting I've sent till to day and find that the payment from mylot for me is only $0.0150354 per post. This is a pitable income. Isn't it?

Well, there is one thing I know you do not get Paid for, and that is when you Add in photos in your profile photos area. But as far as I know all of the other things a person might want to do in here, you do get paid for. And as for how much, I truly believe like you, there is no Rhyme nor reason to it. It just depends on what they decide a Discussion or post you might make is worth. All I know is I am not here for just the money, as there is way more to this site than this, but I am still enjoying being here.

Really? Can you give examples? Do you mean if a person doesn't make any tags they get less pay? I agree with you on that because I have also noticed that my pay is not as good as when I don't something, but the system can sometimes vary. If you are doing the same thing everyday, your pay can go up more or less. A person could just make 50 posts a day and could get paid anywhere from $1-2 dollars a day. I try to set goals every day to earn a certain amount while of course having fun on this website. Now, I see your point though. Mylot has a lot of options for people to get paid. I once read some where in a discussion of a guy who got paid for customizing his profile. I don't know if that's true, but it might be. Just wanted to share what I thought.

Do you mean that we have to write tags, and add pictures or?

Ooh that's good to know! I'm glad my relentless rating isn't in vain!

I've heard that you don't get paid for tags so I stopped doing it, but I guess I will start again. Whether it's true or not, it won't hurt. :) What I do is comment and rate every response or almost every repsonse people give to my discussions. I reply to other discussions and sometimes rate other discussions' responses or comments if I feel strongly about it. I upload pictures to discussions I start and once I make 500 posts I will upload them to my responses. Now I guess I will start doing tags again! Happy holidays and have a good day and weekend. ~Taymouse

I knew it! I have been told by so many members that you couldn't get any money for responses and ratings...so I did a little experiment. For one day I only responded to and rated one question and made 4 cents. So YES they do pay for everything! Rating you a positive!

Thanks for this fab info, i sometimes add tags and sometimes rate discussions however i did not know that money was deducted for patterns of negative rating! I am now however trying to tag more and trying to rate more comments, i dont really know why i didnt to begin with! I love interacting on mylot and its even better to get paid for it! Thanks again for you're info, keep up the good posts :)

so far, ive gotten earnings from responses, responses to my discussions, hopefully best responses. My highest in one day is 66c. I wonder if we get paid for adding comments - because that doesn't add on to our tally next to our name and we can only comment and not respond to our own discussions.

You make a great point! Participation is the key.

I do everything you have suggested. I agree with you...the more you do...the more you get paid. i also rate every discussion I answer or start. I rate everyone who replies to one of my discussion. I always rate a plus. Unless the person breaks the my lots rules.

Very good points and you are right. Everything we do adds to the whole amount. How much you post, the quality of the post, discussions, comments, tags, photos, ratings, everything is counted in the earnings. I have found that on days when I do everything and anything I can I earn more then I do when I just do the basics. Not sure how much of a difference but there is a difference. I figure though everything I can do towards earning I will so that I can make more. In the words of Daffy duck "I'm a greedy little miser" and I'll do all I can to make the most I can :)

Thank you for starting this discussion. It is better to learn from members than try and find things in FAQ. I have been adding tags but sometimes don't like to on other people's discussions. People also have different opinions so rating responses in other member's discussions seems a bit of an odd thing to do. I have done some and will do more in my own but have not had many responses yet. I do not study it all of the time but is the number beside our name just for comments as mine did not seem to increase when I started discussions?

If we just see the site they will paid us? I already do a lot here, write a discussion, responses, write tags, upload photos, But everyday i earn less than 1 $. How it can be?

Thanks for your suggestions! thesedays i find my mylot earningis increasing though a little bit. in fact, I come here not only for earning, but, maybe most important, I feel a little proud, because I can express myself in English .(lots of mistakes I must have made),nevermind, at least, this site in fact helps me great in English learning.Iam continuing surfing here,everyday.Thank you,deserdarlene, and thanks to mylot!
