MyLot - it pays to write!

 

Have you ever wished that your favourite hobby could bring you money?

Well if you like writing about your interests, and responding to various discussions, than you might find that MyLot is the perfect place for you!

What is MyLot 

Let us start with actually explaining a little bit what MyLot actually is.

The site is concentrated on creating a community of friendly users with a plethora of interests. The main focus is on creating and engaging discussions related to your interests.

The structure is similar to any online forum with Interests serving as Forums, and Discussions being the equivalent of a thread. Participation includes writing "posts", as well as adding photos to Interests or Discussions.

MyLot also allows you to syndicate blogs, however there are limitations to this:
  1. appropriate content
  2. the blog has to be older than 3 months

Chat and Earn 

Now that you have a basic idea of what MyLot is you might be wondering how it is different from the gazylions of forums available out there. One of the first and most obvious advantages of this community is that you get paid for participation. The more active you are, the better answers you provide, the more helpful you are, the more money you will get.

Each post pays about $0.1 - 0.2, however they can be worth more if you follow all or some of the following guidelines:
  1. Write your answers using full sentences
  2. Avoid single word replies, and posts like: "me too"
  3. Try to write posts that encourage others to participate further in the discussion
  4. Check your spelling and grammar
  5. Add tags to discussions
  6. Add pictures to discussions
  7. Make sure your reply is on topic
  8. Be polite and helpful

Money, money, money...

Quick & Easy Cashout 

There are a few sites that do pay you for writing and socializing. However often they have higher payout threshold compared to $10 on MyLot. Also you get an update on your earnings every 24 hours. Your money is easily accessible as they use PayPal to pay MyLot members. What is also very important, they are open to not only US citizens, but anyone with a valid PayPal address.

Websites that promise to pay you for doing this and that pop up on the Internet nearly daily, so the fact that MyLot has been around for quite a while and has plenty of confirmed payments from many users around the world is definitely a benefit.

Bundle of Interests 

Sometimes it is nice to have a highly specialized forum that devotes all their discussions to a single topic. But on other occasions you might want to just talk about random things. One minut this, another miniute that, and offtopics are allowed. That's what it is at MyLot. All the discussions are driven by categories, conveniently named "Interests". And just as in real life you can have as many as you like.

Worth noting is the fact that it is not only a mere statement that the discussions are on all topics. Some other places (I won't be pointing fingers here) claim so, but the grim reality turns out to be that the places are mostly infested by spammers and affiliate marketers. And if these kind of products are what you are looking for than fine. However otherwise MyLot is deinitely a good place to try.The discussions are interesting, genuine, written by real people with real opinions. And the spammers seem to stick to their "earning money" interest...

Find Friends 

There is definitely a friendly atmosphere on MyLot. Surprisingly even when opinions clash most of the time the opposing opinions will be presented in a argumentative way, rather than personal attacks.

If you like the sound of all the above, you can join me at MyLot for free!
