Starting Discussions vs Responding to Discussions

Normally I respond to discussions on myLot more then I start new ones, how about you? I know starting discussions, especially if they become active, makes you more money, but I find it takes a lot more effort to start a discussion then to respond. Most of the mental work is already done in responses. So far today this is my fifth discussion I believe, which is already a record and its only noon. How many new discussions (not responses) do you usually do?

I like responding to discussions more than starting them also. Every now and then, I will start quite a few if I really have alot on my mind. Here lately I have been trying to get caught up on my friends discussions and that keeps me very busy itself.

Yes, trying to keep up with friends discussions is hard. I try to respond to friends discussions when I see one that is interesting and that I have something to say about, but I often miss quite a few.

discussions - every discussion is not an interesting discussion and her on mylot you will earn only if your discussion is interesting.
same here i too respond to others discussion more than starting my own discussion. Its really very difficult to start an interesting discussion .

usually i like to start discussions .. the main reason is i feel happy to initiate a topic .. i have 3 or 4 discussions without reponses... but i don't care about that much..

hi Myrrdin. I am just like you. I am good in responding and I do it all the time. But when it comes to starting a new topic, I have no ideas. I am thinking about starting new discussion for over a month hehe. And still I have no idea... It is really hard for me to start a discussion, when it's easy to respond to others discussions. I have started some discussions, but it was so effortable that I stop doing it;). have a nice day, jazgottt.

I am the same way. Although I do feel that I make more money when I start discussions than just responding to others discussions. There are just days that I can't find anything to start on here and I just sometimes don't have time to start new ones and have to answer them and mark best response.

I like to mix it up. Sometimes I am in a curious mood and need to question people and other times I just feel like throwing in my two cents all over the place.

hi:) I'm still newbie here. And maybe therefore I prefer answer on mylot discussions. I start two discussion but responded on them was poor. so now I don't start anyone more. maybe when I practise little more on this site I change this. but for now I answer only:)
