Some people are starting a lot of discussions each day. That's fine, & doesn't bother me. My query is that maybe My Lot have a different price structure now that rewards more for starting more discussions? I know we are paid if we get one or two responses, but I never saw the value in beginning lots of discussions as opposed to responding to lots of discussions. Now I am beginning to wonder? I think I will experiment today. I will start as many discussions as I can think of. Usually I average about one discussion(starting) every two days. I will not do as many responses to other peoples discussions as usual.

I believe that starting your own discussion does help and increase your earning if there are a lot of response in it. I for one earned almost .50 by just one discussion that had lot's of response in it. I know because during that day, I only had post probably about 3 response to other people's discussion as I've been busy.

Interesting. And you say that a lot of responses helps? It used to be that the number of responses one received, made no difference to the earnings, provided you received at least 2 responses.

I've been doing a lot of experimenting since the new changes have come into place and I'm finding that the more discussions I start the more I earn. I think you will see a difference in your earnings if you start more discussions too.

Okay, this is interesting to hear. I had suspected that this was the case, so I will report back on my findings.

i am not sure yet about boosting our earning in here by posting so many topic discussion. in opinion it would be useless if we posting so many topic discussion without any quality inside the discussion cause it won't be interested many people to response it. in my viewing, it would be effective when you able to create many topic discussion and you also got so many responses within your topic discussion. what do you think? anyway you said that you gonna try it, so how is the progress so far, my dear friend?

I have also wondered what the advantage was? I do not want to sound critical but have seen some post an awful lot in one day and they really did not get that many responses either. I tend to do one every couple of days as its hard to find a subject that has not been already done a lot. I really get most fun out of posting to others discussions and also find better ideas for my own discussions by reading what everyone has to say. I would wish I could do discussions that really drew in responses but sometimes it takes awhile for people to respond also.

I hadn't taken as much notice of the number of responses these people who do multiple postings get. I have preferred to respond than begin discussions for quite some time, but now I wonder if the advantage is in beginning discussions. I never get in the My Lot Digest either.

dear jenny, multiple responses will not add up points. just one will be fine. but if you like to talk to the one who sent the discussion, well, you can. ann

That really depends, on how well the discussion would flow and also the quality of it. I don't really mind how much I would earn a day here, I'm glad that I could even a cent on my daily earnings as long as I do get paid in the end! Right now, I believe that it would be best to start a discussion once or twice a day -at least that's for me. I am seeing myself starting a discussion of my own one day at a time, because I've noticed that there's too much activity going on here (not to mention the payment increase again).. It does provide a big boost if one would start good discussions a day, doesn't matter how many it is as long as we could cope with our other responsibilities here..

I am yet to find out that. i also mainly keep on answering discussion. i start when i really want to ask or share something. I also do not get much responses to my discussions. may be starting more help earning a lot. there are few who have nearly numerous discussions to their credit.

Well I have noticed when I start discussions and get responses for them, I earn a lot more than just responding to discussions. Even when I respond to those who responded to my discussion, I earn a bit more too. I have only noticed this after the latest big upgrade though - I could be wrong.

I am not really sure how mylot works, if giving comments of starting discussions are compensated differently. I haven't started a lot of discussions for most of the discussions that I want to start have been posted already, and I don't want to repost an old discussion.

I used to start more discussions in the past but nowadays I mostly answer other people's discussions since I lost my inspiration to think of new ones. There is an important factor which will keep mylot a good place when starting discussions: quality. It is ok if you start many discussions a day, but if they are not good ones then you are not on the right way and your earnings won't speed up if you do that. Instead, If you put an effort and start good discussions it will be good for everyone. Because: 1)It will be good for mylot because the quality of the overall website will improve. 2) it will be very useful for the community here,because there will be another discussion to think of and to response. I sometimes search for a discussion to answer for a long time and can't find any that fits me. 3) It will be useful for you. If you start good quality responses, your ratings will be higher, you will have more friends and you will earn more.
