Paid Discussion forum

I have posted about MyLot before and having reached my third payout, I felt it was high-time to write a bit about this paid forum once more.
MyLot is built as a forum where questions are asked and everybody in the community can answer, anybody (including the questioner) can then respond to the responses and some of the discussions can get rather involved.
There is a pleasant community spirit around most of the site, but occasionally arguments can break out as there is limited controls on responses. There are the normal rules on language used and usually anyone that goes too far gets reported and it is not unusual for entire discussions to be removed from time to time.
Now the crucial part is the fact that you get a few cents each time you post a valid response (as long as the discussion does not get deleted), and in general, if your response is not complete nonsense and takes up at least four lines of text (precise definition is not clear) you will qualify for a small payment. Payout is at $10 and it takes on average 300 responses to reach this level (depending on the 'quality' of the responses).
My feeling is that if you are looking to purely make money, then the effort-to-reward ratio is low - However, if you are likely to enjoy getting involved in what is a largely friendly forum, then why not get involved in one that is going to send you $10 every so often??
The payment scheme also takes referrals into consideration which makes the whole earning process rattle along at a much faster rate. I am not great at getting referrals and have had a total of just three, one of which has remained active and now contributes to my earnings on a regular basis. Having active referrals makes MyLot a far more viable earner than when you are just earning from your own posts, and if you are good at getting referrals MyLot may be a welcome boost to your online earnings.

MyLot

It's a while since I even mentioned MyLot, and I am inspired to do so again, just for those that have not discovered it, or who are thinking of taking part. First off, let me say that the attraction of MyLot for me, is not the fact that you can make money online just for taking part in discussions about anything from warts to existentialism, or from gardening to World war Two. No, the reason I am attracted to MyLot is the interaction, the ability to express yourself in many many different topics that might interest you... and then.... you get paid too! the subtle difference is that I enjoy the discussions without payment, so any payout is just a bonus. And here's the real deal, you won't get rich on Mylot, you can't even make decent pocket money on MyLot unless you have a huge downline of referrals (which I don't, but if you want to be referred, be my guest....). The truth is that you may have to take part in about three hundred or more discussions to make the $10 payout (it takes much longer if you don't post 'good quality' comments), but the chances are that once you make a few friends and get stuck into some good debates, you won't even notice the slow build-up of your income.
It may not be for everyone and I have blown both hot and cold about it myself, but on the whole if you like getting involved in discussions and you think you have something to offer in terms of either questions or answers, then why not give it a try?
