We all have various passions and interest. I personally have a passion for gadgets. I love my iPhone 3gs and all it's all-in-one functionality. I couldn't imagine watching TV without my Tivo and my Ipod might as well be surgically attached to my hip. You get the picture. Most of discuss our passions or interest with co-workers or family members. But many people also discuss their passions online in places dedicated to a given interest. There are probably hundreds of websites and blogs dedicated to the show "Lost".
People gather at these websites and babble on about theories and feelings regarding a given episode or character. We do it for the love of our passions. But personally I would prefer to get paid to jabber on about my iphone and my favorite shows. Well now I can and you can as well!
How Does Mylot.com Work?
Mylot.com is basically a glorified message board that pays its users a portion of the revenue they earn from ads placed on the site. A message board for those of you have never participated on one is as follows; It's basically a webpage where people post a comment or topic very much like you do with email. But instead of going back and forth sending emails to each other, the comments and responses are posted on the webpage. Anyone can start a topic or respond to one that is currently being discussed. But most message boards won't pay you for doing this.
Mylot.com is very different in that it does pay you to discuss anything you're passionate about or anything you want to respond to. So if someone is talking about how a certain politician is a war monger and total idiot then you can chime in and give your two cents about it. Or let's say you just saw a great movie and want to tell the world? You just log in to Mylot.com and post your comment and get paid!
Here's a little video I whipped up for you showing you how it works and proof of my own pay:
How Much Can You Earn?
I'll be honest with you, you won't earn a lot of money participating in Mylot.com. It really all depends on how active you are and how passionate you are about the things in your life. But even if you're not really much of a yapper, you can still earn some nice money just referring some of your other buddies and friends that love to be online and yap about their interest. You or many people you know are probably on Facebook or twitter. Well why not convince your buddies tthey should be on Mylot where they can get paid for the nonsense they yammer about. lol
In any event, how much you're paid is based on how much money Mylot.com makes on advertising revenue. So unfortunately there is no set fee per message you post or response you make. But it ranges from a few cents per posts, which doesn't sound like much. But it adds up really fast the more you participate. And if you don't want to participate that's fine. Just refer people and you'll still make money for their participation!
Conclusion
Is Mylot.com a scam? Nope, I've been paid a few times by Mylot.com. That being said, they're definitely not my top money maker. However it's still nice to get a few extra dollars per month even if I'm not actively babbling about why my TIVO is the greatest invention since sliced bread. If you're one of those people that spend a lot time on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, message boards or even emailing people, then you really might want to consider MyLot.com! It's totally free and you can earn some easy money for something you're probably doing right now! However keep in mind it's not going to make you rich or be enough to support your family! But it's probably better than what you're earning now for chilling on facebook which is nada! So give that some thought. Either way, I hope you've enjoyed my review of Mylot.com
I have been a member for a good while there on myLot, but no longer am I going to participate in writing, because myLot love to censor posts, delete them and take the money you’ve earned on those posts. Example, I just wrote a post last week, The topic and question was a Traveling question about where someone would go if they had the choice to travel some where. I interacted with others on my post, then all of a sudden logged in, the post was gone and so was the money earned. I will never forgive them!
Sadly as of May 2013 you can no longer earn with mylot
Hello there thanks for giving a review I have been reviewing comments about my lot and thanks you have a good review then..
You’re welcome. A lot has changed on Mylot since this review. But I still get checks from them.
So far so good. I’ve tried most of the sites you’ve sent me but i think I’ll pass on this one. Keep sending them, though.
No problem. Not every site is right for everyone. Be sure to check out my recommendations page for other options:

I hope it helps.
Hi Eddy , I want to thank you for all your help so far. I have followed all that you have sent me.. It has given me hope that I will stumble on something that I can make enough money to live on someday. I am disabled and really need something to pay the bills but I am doing the smaller ones . Thank you , if you have advice on something bigger please let me know .
LOL, You’re welcome! Thanks for just stopping by to say that.
se passe lol hi eddie i just wanna say Thanks for the info 🙂
Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and fixed it. But you’re going to find a lot more errors like that all over my blog. I like showing my flaws to people. Because it demonstrates that you don’t need to be a perfect writer to be successful online. But thanks again.
Hi Eddy just wanted to point out that you have missed out the word ‘earn’ in the first sentence of the paragraph with heading- How Much Can You Earn?. Thanks
There is always reason but unfortunately online companies don’t always do the right thing by explaining what they are or giving us a chance to correct the behavior that may have got us in trouble. It sucks. But fortunately legitimate opportunities are like fish in the sea, they’re plenty more like the ones we’ve listed on recommendations page:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations Just move on to something better.
Mylot is givin me trouble signing up.
Try emailing them directly.
they suspended my account no reason and never contacted me and you can’t get an answer from them.
I believe Mylot is pretty much open to all countries. So just visit their website, sign up and start participating in any discussions that are appealing to you or start your own. I’m Haitian so yes i know how expressive folks in the Caribbean are. It’s in our blood. lol
I am a very passionate person and would like very much to participate in your discussions. I am from the Caribbean though, so I’m not sure if the discussions are open to me, however if you know anything about Caribbean people you would know we are very expressive people.
I’d like to participate in some of the discussions. Also, thanks for the heads up on not making a lot but still useful if you do a lot of internet shopping and just need a little extra.
You’re welcome and that’s a great attitude you have about this opportunity. You’ll probably appreciate a lot of the other ones I list here: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations
Sarah,
You’re welcome. You can make a steady income if your participate a lot in discussions in terms of starting them, responding to them and the many other activities that mylot now pays you for. Referrals are key too. But it’s not something you’ll be able to support your family with. For that you need a real work at home job like the ones we list here daily:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs or try some of the other higher paying options I’ve listed on my recommendations page: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations Good luck!
Thanks Mr. Eddy! Do you have to write a certain amount of articles on MyLot.com for a steady amount of income? Are there any other sites that are legitimate that operate in the same way?
thanks mr eddy for being one of the good guys really trying to help other pepole!!!!!!!
You’re welcome! Glad to help.
I want to say thank you for your hard work in creating your web site and the help articles you write. I work at a job, but have been trying to get enough business at home to stay and work there. I do all kind of desk top publishing (business cards, flyers, wedding invitations, etc) along with vinyl lettering of signs, vehicles, etc. There is not enough work to stay at home with this right now because of the economy so your articles are very useful in trying to find other ways of making money from home. There are so many scams and its nice to see someone else without taking advantage of them. Good luck with what you are doing and I will be coming back again and again to read what you have going on. If you have any good ideas to pass along, I’d appreciate them.
You’re quite welcome. I’m glad you have found our site. I’m sure it will prove very helpful as you continue to read it.

Some of it’s really just based on administrative limitations and liabilities and less about hate for a given country. That being said some options just aren’t available in other countries and it’s just
