How To Earn More With MyLot

Earning with MyLot is easy, it's a no-brainer! However, this is not a get rich scheme either, so if you are thinking of quitting your day job to make Mylot your full time job, think again. MyLot rewards its active users on a daily basis, how much would the potential earnings be is not disclosed by the site admin. This is not suppose to be a steady online job but a side income. Yes you can get $100 on your payout but you have to work at it. How? By posting topics on the discussion board, answering comments to your posts, posting responses on other user's post, uploading pictures and yes by adding friends and referring friends to MyLot community.

Are there any secrets to qualify for payout quicker? Can we cheat our way to payout?

The answer is no. The site is closely monitored and any attempts in cheating your way can be the grounds for terminating your account in the community or getting you banned. But there is good news I have come up with proven tips to help you qualify for monthly payouts! Let's get started shall we?

1. POST QUALITY CONTENT. Make sure that the discussion you are posting is understandable, some users do not check the quality of their content. Sometimes it's hard to understand what they are trying to say. So, keep this in mind. Another thing is that you should consider to make your post interesting by writing a topic that you know about. Do not write something about computers when you do not know anything about computers. Write a discussion about things or events that people can always relate to. An example is, I wrote a discussion about how my friend was cheated on by his girlfriend. I described the whole scenario using simple words about how the cheating started and what happened afterward, this post generated 20 responses in 25 minutes! By using simple words it makes it easier for everybody to understand especially users who use english as a second language. Moreover, it is something that everybody could relate to that is why it generated so many responses in such a short time. The number of comments from that single post keeps adding up until now.

2. TAG YOUR POSTS OR COMMENTS. By tagging your posts or comments the system can easily link this with similar posts from other users. So. when users see this and they get interested they comment on your post. When a lot of users leave comments on your post you earn more plus you are building a reputation among your online friends and the whole community. More comments means more people will add you as their friends, more friends means more chances of getting more responses to your posts and yes it means more earnings!

3. TAKE TIME TO REPLY TO THE COMMENTS ON YOUR POST. People like being valued, I mean who wouldn't? By replying to their comments shows that you value their opinion or views. Take time to thank them for dropping by and if you are not yet friends make the first step and add them to your friends list. I am not saying that you reply to all the 100 comments on a single post (but if you can why not? you also earn by commenting back) but those comments that really stands out, comment back. Choose the one comment that really stands out and then mark it as "BEST RESPONSE", this will show them how much you appreciate their responses. It also let other users know that you read their comments and not just post something for the sake of earning.

4. OBSERVE THE GUIDELINES FOR POSTING DISCUSSIONS. Some users do not keep this in mind what happens is that their posts get deleted. When your posts gets deleted you forfeit your earnings for that post. Remember do not enter referral links or promotional banners on the discussion. Do not advertise anything or promote your own blog or website actively on the site. This post will surely get deleted because it violates the guidelines of MyLot.com.

5. DO NOT USE FOUL LANGUAGE OR DEROGATORY REMARKS. This could get your post deleted or worse of all it could get you banned from the site, and any earnings you might have will be forfeited. So, even if you do not agree with what a user posts on your discussion just be polite and be courteous. Do not argue, it will get you nowhere. Also other users are watching how you will handle this situation. If you want to gain more friends online remember your manners dear and be polite.

6. OFFER RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE DISCUSSION. Most often times some users will ask for information about something, It could be about web pages, blogging, clothes, relationships etc. If you know anything about it volunteer information. Most people on the site are very helpful, they will give you tips and advices that are very useful. This is what makes MyLot.com a unique networking site. It's a helping community. Again when you help out others in turn they will help you out. Not only do you earn by answering, you gain new friends too.

7. REFER-A-FRIEND. Have I mentioned about MyLot's referral system? I guess I did :). The more friends that signs up under you the more you will earn. You will receive a MyLot earnings bonus equal to 25% of your friend's MyLot earnings. Ain't it cool? Yep it is!

8. CHECK THE TASK BAR REGULARLY. Some users who need help with something would post tasks and when you finish the task for them you get the amount they specified for the job. So, make sure you sign up for tasks that you can do this will help you increase your daily earnings and qualify for monthly payouts.

9. USE THE SEARCH BAR. One way of earning is by using the search bar for relevant topics in the site. You get paid every time you use the search bar. Be careful though not to abuse it. The site admins are closely monitoring the use of this feature. Any attempts to abuse it has a corresponding penalty.

10. UPLOAD PHOTOS. You get paid for each photo that you upload to the site, except for those that you upload to your own profile this is not counted. When you post a discussion it gives you the option to post a relevant picture for that particular interest. This is where you would upload the picture to get credited. So, upload pictures now and increase your earning!

One thing before I leave, you must enjoy doing this or else this would bore you and tire you out. The primary purpose of this website is to socialize and have fun and earning through this is just a bonus. Earn more, Have Fun and Socialize!

Happy MyLotting Everyone!

What Do I Get From Joining MyLot?

Reasons Why You Should Join MyLot.com Community

Not yet sure why you should join MyLot.com? Perhaps you are asking what's in it for you? There are so many reasons why joining this site is good. You might be thinking now "well, you said it's not going to make me rich or at least support me enough to quit my day job"! Yes, I know I said that, because I want to tell you straight without sugar coating it and use it as a bait. But there are reasons in my own point of view why joining this site is worth it, well this is based on my own opinion.

1. Although what you may earn is not enough for you to quit your day job, as a side income it will help you buy small stuff. Let's say for the month you earned $20, this might not seem much but there is certainly something you can buy with $20 right? You could by a burger with that (laughing)! You can keep these earnings in your piggy bank and at the end of the year the amount from your monthly payout would add up then you can buy something you really like. For example your steady monthly payout is $20 multiply that by 12 months how much do you think it will be? $240 exactly! So can $240 not buy anything fancy? Of course it can! That's precisely my point!

2. Aside from getting paid when you participate actively, think back, were you not a member of other social networks? most of us are right? We connected to our friends and families, so why not invite them to MyLot.com? I'm pretty sure they will appreciate making a side income too. Also as a member of different networking sites, in all those years I was never appreciated for being a member. Nope, not even a thank you email! You know that right? I'm sure you were not also rewarded for being active on the site.

3. Get connected to the right people! When I joined Mylot I was already looking for an online job to help me get an extra income but I did not know how. Most sites I signed up with were hoaxes and I wasted a lot of precious time with these online sites. Times I could have spent doing something fruitful. In Mylot.com people have a different frame of mind. Most people I meet are interested in making money online. Through the discussions I was able to get across valuable information that helped me a lot in starting my own online venture. For example, I did not know that Squidoo.com existed or how it works, I did not know there were legitimate sites that can help me get hired and get paid well like Freelancer.com. I would not have known that creating a blog can in turn be a good way to make money. All these I learned from the discussions posted by other users and especially by those who volunteered these information.

4. People are generally helpful, I posted a discussion once asking help in how to attract traffic to my blog, because I am a newbie and frankly speaking I would need all the help I can get to be successful at it. 10 people volunteered good information unselfishly. When I ask them for clarification they were patient and accommodating. I felt valued in this community and being helped in the process.

5. MyLot.com is highly interactive. This is what the posts are for, so people could interact. The best thing about this is there is a steady flow of information and ideas which is beneficial to everybody. It's always a win-win situation here. I get introduced to new ideas I never knew existed or was possible. I learn new things from everyone in the community and that for me is one big reason to join the site.

So, those are the reasons why I joined the site and did not regret it. So, if you are looking for a side income, a student perhaps or someone new to online earning why not give it a shot? I hope I Was able to provide you good information.
