myLot, the Paid to Post Powerhouse

There are countless forums online where you can post until you're blue in the face/fingers, but very few of them will help you pay the ensuing doctor bills. That's what's so beautiful about myLot: it's one of the biggest and best forums sites I know of, but it pays its participants for every post they make. It's not like the typical forum site which has a definite theme -- myLot is a place where people can discuss most anything. Users even have the freedom to create their own forums (called "interests" in myLot parlance). I love the money I can make there, but I love the freedom the site offers just as much.

myLot is more than just a massive forum. It also has news and blogs sections which enable you to comment on the news and on blog posts and get paid for those, too. More recently, the site opened up a tasks section so it's a competitor of sorts to MTurk and Microworkers. Currently, the site is also experimenting with a "search and earn" program. The site also rewards you well for referrals: you'll earn 25% of what your referrals make by posting.

How much can you make with myLot? You'll only earn pennies per quality post here, but since the payout by PayPal is just $10 it's really not too hard to reach if you like to talk. I usually can reach payout monthly. There are a couple of peculiarities about myLot payments you should take note of. First, your earnings credit to your account the day after you make your posts. In other words, you'll see how much money you made by posting on Tuesday on Wednesday. Secondly, you're automatically paid (if you've reached the minimum payout which you can set to a larger amount than $10 if you prefer) once a month...no need to request payment.

Because myLot welcomes everyone who has a PayPal account, I think it's a site that everyone trying to make money online should join. There's a lot of good discussions happening throughout the site so you'll probably enjoy your time there independent of the money you make. One piece of advice, though: do read myLot's guidelines before you start posting; if you post referral links in your messages (posting them on your profile is fine) or break the other rules, your posts will just get deleted and you won't make any money. I would also advise you to write thoughtful, on-topic messages -- it might seem like you could make more money by posting lots of short, meaningless replies, but n practice it simply doesn't work that way.

  1. I can vouch for this! If you like to talk, there are tons of topics to talk about. Whether you start the discussion or comment on one started by someone else..it really is not that hard to meet or go over the $10 cash out each month. Plus, you have alot of fun, learn alot and if you need help..just start a discussion and ask! You'll get lots of comments, suggestions and help. I'm a firm believer in MyLot...just think, have fun, get needed information and help others...all the while you earn money at home! Don't get better than that!
