Please check them out for yourself, especially since there are so many DONTS. You do not want to lose your account because you broke a rule. Another good place to look for information is the FAQ menu located at the very bottom of the screen on any page.

HOW TO LOSE YOUR MYLOT ACCOUNT 

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? The top reason and fastest way to lose your Mylot account is discussing earnings in their forum. What? You cannot talk about earnings? Did you read the Guidelines above? Well there is a new forum in town - dedicated to discussing nothing but Mylot. Talk about earnings, ratings, reputation, get technology help, discuss anything you want, all about Mylot. Sorry folks but I decided to close the forum and start a blog, which is much easier to run. Just click on the banner below.

HOW TO MAKE A MYLOT BANNER 

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.

HEY - NO SPAMMING ALLOWED ON MYLOT 

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!

QUALITY OR QUANTITY POSTS? 

DECIDE AFTER READING THIS EXAMPLE

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?

MEET CRASH - MYLOT'S INSIDE GUY 

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.

Um, making 2 posts with 4 sentences each won't make $0.58, that's too much. I make one SUPER LONG story-like discussion and a few other comments, and responses and I made about $0.28.
But mylot is a good site anyways, and I still use it everyday.

I'm glad to see this lens. The MyLot website concept is difficult to understand. I haven't made much yet, but it's a way to post a link to Squidoo and my personal blog. I've made "best answer" several times, but I don't think I made more than a dime.

I can't remember where I found this information because it's not on the MyLot photo guidelines, but don't you have to have a certain number of points on your profile before you can add photos to discussions to increase your earnings?
