myLot

Site: myLot

Cost to join: Free

Site overview: This site is a discussion site. You get paid a bit for ALL participation to the site, including posting messages, starting discussions, replying to discussions, adding photos, blogs, and rating posts. The money is credited to your account every day for the previous day.

My review: I have been with the site for a few weeks now, and have participated most days. My post rate is at about 170 posts, and my star rating is 9. This is good as a rating of 10 is the most you can get. I have really enjoyed my time on this site and will continue being a member. I love to write, debate and discuss and so this site suits me down to the ground. I have started up many discussions which I get a little bit for, and also I earn for the responses I get to my discussions. When you first join, you are invited to add your interests, and then the site can direct you to posts you may be interested in. This said, you can reply to posts on any subject, and there are 100's of topics, each with 100's of discussions. I enjoy getting responses and reading and replying to other's posts and then I am able to choose a best response. The site has the facility to rate others comments too which in turn earns you a bit.
This site doesn't pay out a lot, but is fun, especially if you love to write, chat, and/or debate. I find that I get carried away and forget I am earning out of it. The people on there are really friendly too, and I have added some nice friends which is an added bonus.

Money: Paid in US dollars, you can cash out at $10 and I have reached over $5 already. I have arranged to be paid into paypal, but I think you can also be paid into moneybookers. The money is paid out monthly. As a new user I have yet to reach minimum payout, but read plenty of posts where others have cashed out.

Referrals: Option to get referrals to the site, which adds to the money you are earning, providing your referrals stay active.

Top tips:
  • When posting, aim to post at least 3-4 lines and make them as descriptive as possible.
  • Upload photos to topics. You need to have (I think) a minimum of 500 posts before you can upload to your own discussion.
  • Tag discussions. Your own and ones you are commenting on.
  • When starting a discussion, check in the search bar, under discussions to see if their has been something similar started recently. If there has been don't start a fresh topic, but comment on theirs instead.
  • Try not to use text or IM talk.
My rating 9/10
