anyone here use mylot

I just wondered if anyone on here uses mylot to up their income. I have joined but it is still all too new and over loaded with threads and discussions that my head is in a spin to know where to start.

i have replied to a few discussions but only 1 of those was given an earning of $0.01

is this normal or does the reply or post have to be of a standard length to qualify payment.

ant hints and tips would be appreciated.

  • I've just joined up today, the set up is really confusing, I have to agree - would be so much better if the discussions were set up more like the forum here. As for the financing - I'm baffled...though apparantly they only update once every 24hrs, so I guess it's going to be a wait to see what happens there!
  • I have absoultley no idea how the financing works on there, i have made a few responses on discusions, and not rescieved any money yet. very strange I thought you got $0.01 per response. it isn't easy to navigate and just feels like a waste of time.

    I've been paid every month for the past six month by myLot. It's not possible to make much money there, but I always manage to reach at least the minimum payout of $10 each month.

    You don't get paid a set amount for each post, its a complex system, which is never revealed, but the more you participate, and the more you write in your responses, the better your earnings are.

    The most I earned in one day is just over $1, and often I get less than 50 cents. It depends on how much time and effort I can spare. I don't try to make much money there, I just find it fun and easy to do. Its a good networking site. I have found some useful information and tips in the discussions, and from private messages with my friends there.

    If you see me there, my username is paid2write, and you can add me as a friend if you want.
    I love finding more ways of making money that cost me little or nothing

    I've been paid from this - probably about £20 to date. I don't do much posting, I just join these things to find out how they work because I earn all my money online so I need to know what's going on.

    I join things, check them out, then if I think they're worthwhile I blog about them so I've got all my handy links etc in one place. That way when a friend of mine is after any particular way to earn money I can potentially point them directly at the website, or tool, or host, or software they should look into.

    I would say that for people who have no technical knowledge at all and have all the time in the world to sit and chat, you might as well join mylot and get paid to post in forums.
  • In my opinion, it isn't worth your time. You have to make alot of posts, I mean alot to get $1. There are some paid forum sites that offer $1 for just a few posts.
