You won't like this first step but it's an absolute must. The very first thing you must do, to earn more on Mylot is to learn the rules. You can take the time now to learn the rules or risk losing your account by learning them later. It will not matter how much money you earn on Mylot if they delete your account so don't take any stupid chances. Please don't be discouraged but Mylot has a lot of rules and some of them can be tricky. This article will not list all the rules here because it would fill the entire page. However here are the top rules members break that cause them to lose their accounts. Please do not do these things on Mylot: promotion in any shape or form, placing referral or affiliate links in discussions, talking about the Mylot earnings system, spamming the forums, flaming members and profanity. Mylot frowns on members breaking the rules and they will not hesitate to suspend your account without warning. Another great way to learn the rules is by visiting the Mylot interest category (forum). Read through a couple of discussions and the types of questions members are asking. You will find that many new members have the same questions you may have. Learn from others.

Hopefully after learning the rules, you are still reading. Don't worry it gets easier. The next thing you need to do is make a name for yourself by choosing an avatar. What's an avatar? It's an image that represents who you are on Mylot. It can be any image or an actual photo of yourself. Think about this for a minute, it's a very important decision. The avatar you choose is going to tell all the other members who you are as a person. What do you want people to know about you? How do you want to be perceived? When you first join Mylot, everyone gets a little green man which is the Mylot default avatar. There are so many of those "little green men" on Mylot and it's very confusing to tell them apart. Get the point? You want to stand out so members can find you right? Of course you do, so don't fall into the trap of the green default. Get an avatar. There are some members that don't even reply to posts with those default avatars. Can you believe that? If no one replies to your posts, you can't make any money. Think of your avatar as your reputation. After members get to know you personally, they will participate in all your discussions just because they know you (avatar). Members will come looking for you and often seek your advice since you have already proved your expertise on the rules. Oh and please don't change your avatar on a monthly basis. This makes no sense at all and even more difficult for others to find you. So be creative and start looking for that special avatar to stand out in the crowd

.

Now that you have an avatar, it's time to choose six interest categories (forums) you will be posting in. Only six interests you ask? But you have tons of topics to choose from and the more topics you choose, the more you can earn right? Wrong. If you are joining Mylot to make lots of friends and you love discussing many topics, by all means, go ahead and pick all the topics you want. But if you joined Mylot to earn some cash, then you have to make good use of your valuable time. Let me explain it another way. Say you have a best friend and you guys talk on the phone every single day. What do you talk about with your best friend? Most likely work, relationships, what's on television and your favorite hobbies. Anyway think of Mylot as your new best friend. Focus on those six topics that you enjoy discussing and you will have no trouble coming up with something to post. Just think about all the questions you would ask your friend over the phone but instead post your questions on Mylot. Remember, time equals money so don't waste your time trying to find worthy discussions to participate in. So how does choosing six topics save time? If you notice up to six images (represent interest category) can fit on one single line from the home page. All you have to do is click on the image to find your favorite topics to discuss with your new best friend, Mylot. Choosing the right topics is the best tip to earning more on Mylot. If you truly enjoy something, you will talk about it all the time. The more posts you make, the more you can earn.

There is a long standing argument on Mylot between which earns more, quantity or quality posts? Well veteran members understand how QUALITY posts will always win this race in the end. You can waste all your time typing nonsense posts all you want for meager pennies but when you are ready to make some serious money, listen up. Most new members and some veterans, think Mylot pays one cents for every single post. This is not true. In fact, Mylot has a secret formula they use to calculate earnings and even discussing this topic is against the rules. They do however give members many hints as to how they go about paying its members for their participation. The key word in this paragraph is PARTICIPATION and many members do not understand what this means. The sole purpose of Mylot is to discuss, which is a verb. This implies, you must do something to actively participate in the discussion. Adding comments like “good luck, congrats and other one liners” are not adding anything to the discussion. Why should Mylot pay for these kinds of posts? Would you? A good tip when starting discussions is to always try and phrase the post in question format. There are many different opinions on Mylot and members love to answer questions.

Another method of starting a discussion is the bold statement format. Be careful phrasing your statement using this format though so you do not offend anyone. The basic idea is to get others talking about a specific topic of your choice. Remember your best friend and how long you stay on the phone? One more tip many members forget. Why even start the discussion if you are not going to respond? That is the whole purpose of the discussion right? Yet many new members just waste time starting many posts and never replying. They cannot seem to get the QUANTITY idea out of their head. A good quality discussion can go on for days when other members join in, which means more money for you and all because you took the time to start a good quality post. And speaking of quality, try and use complete sentences, good grammar and no slang. Reason being, you are talking with people from all over the world and there are language barriers. One wrong word could take on a whole new meaning for others. You will run into this a lot on Mylot so just be patient and try and help others to understand your point so they can also participate in the discussion. When you help others, you will be paid back in more ways than you know.

Well this is the end of this post and hopefully you have learned a great deal more about Mylot and start putting this information to good use. Just one question left to ask. Did you figure out the real Secret of Mylot yet? Ok here it is: Learn the Rules, Have some Fun and Earn some Cash. That's it you are probably asking? It’s really that simple. If you enjoy discussing different topics and can get others to participate, the money will eventually come. Remember your reputation (avatar)? Remember all those new members you helped out? And please don't forget the rules, would not want to lose all that hard earned money. Well now you know the Secret of Mylot. Psst, pass it on.
