What is the deal with earnings on here?

United States
April 5, 2007 12:05pm CST
I was doing okay at around $0.20 per day, but with same amount of responces and even MORE discussions started yesterday I only get $0.07 today for yesterday. How does this how thing work? Has anyone figured out what their system is for "quality" posts? I feel like all of my posts are quality and I take time to ask questions that I really want to know the answers for. Thanks for any help:)

You have to participate more in responding to other's posts, and also that you make most of it with good quality. Your post will not be counted if no one has even responded to it, that's as far as I know. Also to earn more, you have to attract more respondents on your post. You can do that by putting comments on those who responded on your topic, by that, it can again go back to top of "recent discussions" list and also on your "friend's discussion" lists. With doing that, alot of mylot members can now easily spot your topic and would actually get more of their attention to read and respond to it.

All I know is that this is just becoming annoying, earnings that is. When I first started I was getting good earnings then in January it went down a bit. Then this week earnings went up for the first two days and now they are back down again. This up and down stuff is just frustrating to me. I don't know what they consider quality posts. I wish I knew what their definition of it was.

Just to add back from the last time. Last week I was doing pretty good for a couple days and now back down to 1 cent per discussion. They get your hopes up with the earnings and then bring them back down.

I agree with you completely. It's more frustrating than anything because when you feel like you've had a good day of postings, you earn nothing:( I'm not on here to make big bucks or anything, but still, I'd like a little something for my well thought out posts!

I've been wondering that, too. I wrote 30 responses yesterday, and I only received 31 cents! It was my first day, yet I can't figure out why I received so little. Someone on myLot averaged around $5 a day with 100 posts. I wonder how that person did that?

I've also heard you can get one cent per photo you upload to a discussion.

It's impossible to calculate earnings from day to day. I received over $2 for my work here at mylot and was quite pleased with the amount versus the discussions and responses I did yesterday. I've been quite happy since the upgrades took place with my earnings. The only thing that I can say is to just make sure that your always starting quality discussions and responding with quality responses, I didn't look at what you did yesterday to give specifics. The main thing is consistency, here on quality. If all that was done then I would suggest sending an email asking mylot about the earnings. Also depending on your cut off time you may see it reflected in tomorrows update. I know that my cut off is somewhere between 10:00 pm and midnight PST. Hope that helps to figure out what happen. :)

I also want to know what is the procedure of gain money beacuse i already post around 159 discussions and i have earned just half of post. While i have started many discuusions with good no of responses then still i have not earned money as i should. So anyone can tell me the right procedure of money earning on mylot.com...

Me too I noticed that my earnings dropped today (for yesterday posts). I think I have posted almost the same as before. No one knows how exactly mylot works. If we knew how they pay there wouldn't be so many questions about this subjects.
