I scroll through the discussions and answer the ones that look interesting. I also respond to my friends discussions. I do all this as I have time. Some days I don't even sign in to mylot. I usually do about 5-10 responses a day. I start discussions as I think of them. No real planning to it?! What do you do?

Well, as I work a part time job outside the home and home school my children it is hard to say exactly what I do. I really try to post every day and I try to make quality posts. What I have been doing is setting aside a certain amount of time and do what I can in that length of time. I know that I want to be sure to reach payout every month so I try to pace myself so I can be sure that I get that in. I would like to do 100 posts per day,but I can't. I just don't have the time to do that. I hope to be able to earn a dollar a day before long. I did earn almost that much the other day. I know that isn't much money for the time that I spend on here. I just really like this site.

I can relate! I don't think I could do 100 posts a day? Like you, I don't really have the time. I like this site too!

I respond to thirty duscussions a day. I am at my lot every day. I am starting one or two discussions a day, I do not have so many ideas for new discussions, sorry. Every day I am looking foreward to logging into mylot after my daily work is done. I read more than I actually answer. I am learning a lot here.

My first post of call is normally my friends discussions, which is why I tend to answer most of the ones that you do! Some days I browse through my interests until I find discussions that interest me. Some days I will post 50 times, some days I won't post at all. It all depends what mood I'm in and whether I can be bothered or not. I start discussions whenever I can think of an interesting one. Sometimes I go into the "discussions with no responses" section too, as I feel bad for people that get ignored, providing they aren't morons. x

I always enjoy reading your responses. You usually have a little different twist on something or have a funny comment.....like you last comment about people with no responses, providing they aren't morons. That was funny!!

I usually do about over 5 responses in a day. And I spend about 1 hours. Do you have a job in real life\? I have no job, so I have more free time, but now I am addicted to a gambling game and I lost over $150 in this week. Now I can't go to sleep. because i'm very upset. It is much money for me. In our country, an ordinary people can earn only $150 a month. And I have no job. I decide to give up $150, and stop playing that gambling game, although it is pity.

I don't have a job I have to go to every day. I've been lucky to be a stay at home mom the last few years. With my husbands recent job change, I need to start looking for a job though. I would be upset over losing $150 too? I'm sorry about you losing your money. I think you have the right idea on not going to that site anymore. I hope you find another way to make money and don't lose anymore whether it's online or a regular job.

I used to post an average of 20-30 a day, and most of the times those are all from respoding to other discussions. Like you, I only post to what comes out of my mind and when I think that it would be interesting to members. But I am kinda out of synch right now and was trying my best to revive my usual activity here, I just hope that I get to experience again the enjoyment I had before!;)

I have my days when I'm posting alot and starting discussions, then other days I don't even sign in to Mylot. It all depends on my mood and how chatty I'm feeling? Maybe that's what is going on with you? Thanks for responding!

I am a lot like Inky261 (we even both have cocker spaniels!). I was starting a couple a day but starting takes longer than replying and I am trying to reach payout level this month as I do not get to spend very long on here each day so I have been replying more. A lot of mine did not have replies so it was disheartening. I have been learning a lot reading the discussions and trying to help people where I can. I flit about a bit with linking things up and then getting lost and not having time to be properly organised.

Yeah, I'm pretty sporadic. I'm not here to make a lot of money, and I'm not here to make a lot of new friends... I'm basically here to combat boredom. :-P So when I'm bored, I participate in discussions, but on days that I'm busy, I don't do much, if anything, on the site.
