Why am I talking about how to lose your Mylot account? Because it happens every day especially to new members. So why are they losing their account?

When getting referrals for MYLOT, you will need to place a banner on your website to make it very easy for new members to join. Why not make a clickable banner with your referral link already coded into the banner.

1. First you need to find a banner you like. Right click on the banner you like to save the image to your computer. You saw my favorite Mylot banner at the beginning of this lens Click on this link for a list of Mylot banners

2. You then upload the banner to an image storing website. Photobucket is a great and free site to save your images. They also have lots of fun tools like slideshows, scrapbooks and other ways to showcase your creativity. Click on this link to sign up for Photobucket

3. Find your banner on photobucket and click INSIDE the box next to the words "html code". A yellow message that says "copied" will pop up. Paste the html code where you would like your banner to appear.

4. There will be two sets of html codes, one for the website location and one for the image location. The image location code will always be listed second. Never change anything on this html code or your banner will not load properly.

5. You are going to type your Mylot referral link after the http: (see blue and green text) and erase the rest of the code up to the last set of quotes. The image html code is the red text. Do not touch that code. Here is a screenshot that makes it simple to view.

When I first joined MYLOT my idea was to post my butt off to hundreds of discussions per day. Yes, I was in it for the money and the race was on. I never even made it to the finish line and was burned out after one week. Even quit MYLOT for a few weeks. Here is a great example: made 15 one liner posts (QUANTITY) one day and made 10 cents. Wow, let's not run to the bank just yet. Made two QUALITY posts really going into details perhaps 4 sentences each post, made 58 cents for two posts! Now I ask you again, which is more important, Quality or Quantity?

Your very first time you came up with an interesting post on Mylot and there are tons of members responding to your post. Oh boy, that means good earnings and of course a chance to show off your superb writing skills. Anyway the discussion is really taking off and along comes this mylotter who responds with a reply that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. What the heck is going on? It's sorta like the teacher who screeches the chalkboard to get students attention. Most of the time but not always, it's going to be a new Mylotter (less than 50 posts). This person is spamming and that is not allowed on Mylot. Nowadays spammers are very clever. They may even throw in a line to appear they are talking about the subject matter. The best thing to do when this happens. In my opinion - nothing. They are waiting for you to ask more questions so they can push their product or website. Don't waste your time with spammers. If they are rude or persistent in any way, this statement does wonders: MYLOT DOES NOT TOLERATE SPAMMERS!

Crash says: Two years is a long time in the internet world. During that time, I have watched myLot grow into something very special. We've stood the test of time while others have come and gone. But make no mistake, we have a long way to go! Our goals our high, and our dreams are even higher. And each of you are a big part of that. I love myLot because you love myLot. You have spent hours upon hours (upon hours!) of your precious time building myLot into what it is today -- the premier internet community for helping others and sharing what's on your mind. As you can tell by reading this message from Crash, MYLOT really cares about what their members think and want our input.
