Posting New Discussions

I never post more than one a day, and often not even that. Once in a blue moon, I'll post one in the morning and one at night. I can't keep up with all the responses if I post too many, and I certainly keep up with responding to my friends discussions when I'm busy with my own. Like you, I respond to everyone and go back and back again to respond to further comments under their responses because that's usually when it's really fun, but it's time consuming too. So my best advice is space them out. One a day, or two and don't stretch yourself too thin. I also keep notes of discussions I want to start so I don't forget the really good ideas! ROFL

I guess I only have 6 discussions (my own discussions) I'm not afraid to start one, it's just that I can't think of something to start. Well I'm having fun responding to other's discussions anyway. So imagine, I'm over 300 now and I only have 6 posts on my own. hahaha..

Hi moneyandgc, I spend most of my time here posting responses and I have started only more than seventy discussions after doing mylotting here for more than a year. It is a quite small number of discussions I have started if to compare with those users who are quite active and productive here. They started new discussion daily and some even to start more than five daily. I wonder whether they could manage to take care of them and to give comments to all the respective responses received on each discussion. I notice that many of them just active here for quite a short period only. From your words I understand that you are a good discussion starter who are responsible and always try to take care of your responses received. After starting a new discussion, I always try my best to give comment to every response I received.

My advice is, if you have something to share or post about, go ahead and do it. Alot of times my discussion are vents, or questions that I need help with. If you wait to post about them your issue may be already over, or you may forget. I find it sometimes soothing to post on here about certain things because (so far for me) the My lot community has been very supportive, and it always makes me feel better. I'm also like you, I read and respond to every comment, provding I have something to comment. I just feel it's the polite thing to do. I also rate every response, even if I can't add anymore to the topic. I like that we make money here, but I've mainly found this site to be a good support system, and everyone here has provided me with great help and ideas. Have a great day!

I am the same as you. I post many responses but few discussions. I like to post a discussion when I know I have time to comment on responses. Sometimes I have a few discussions which are active and getting responses at the same time, but I am not someone who will start dozens of discussions in one day or even in one week. I think you should do what you feel is best for you. There is no right or wrong way to spend your time at myLot. If you don't want to start too many discussions at the same time, do write down the topics you have thought of and then start one whenever things are a bit quiet and you want to get another discussion going.

Hello moneyandgc, I don't have much discussions too and most of my posts are responses to discussions from other members. However, whenever I start a discussion, I would always make sure that I also reply to the responses I get from the members. First to thank them for taking time to join my discussion and sharing their views and opinion on the topic that I have raised. And secondly, make some comments on their responses, either to further explain my views or answer some inquiries from them. It may sound silly to others, but I do really care to read every responses that I get from the discussions and reply back. I feel that it is my responsibility for starting the discussion, and my purpose of starting a discussion is to get ideas from people. So it is just fair for me to pay attention to their responses, and I appreciate every responses I get may it be the same views that I have or not. Have a great day and keep on posting!

i have mostly responded to discussions here. but i have also seen users who posts generally number of posts and start new discussion with drop of a pin. its not something that i like.

Whenever I have an idea for a discussion I post it right then and there. I am a scatterbrain so if I were to wait, I would forget part of it or it wouldn't come out the same. I do try to comment on all responses, but the ones I don't comment on are usually repeat responses, too short responses, unintelligible responses, or responses that say it all.

Hello moneyandgc, Whenever I have ideas to start my discussion, I will type all. If not, I will totally forget about whatever it is. As I don't have much time to respond/comment or start new discussion, I always choose one day to just comment on all the responses to my discussions. Most of the time, I prefer to respond here.

It might be better to space the discussions out so they don't get buried. It depends on the topics and discussions though, because the easy topics and the controversial will easily get attention (very rarely are they buried unless they are too esoteric). Around 4000-5000 responses, I did put up more discussions but ended up with little or no responses to them. I don't do much in terms of discussions except for the obvious free-for-all. I may come up with other discussions, but the ideas aren't coming to mind.

I try to respond to as many of them as I can though I've noticed sometimes older discussions do not always get back up in hte pile so I'm sure there are a few responses to the discussions I may have missed. It depends sometimes too on what the discussion is - sometimes I'll get 84 responses, other times I'll only get a small handful. One thing I don't usually do when responding though is return to the discussion (when someone else starts it) for example I may not read the response your write here to my response - though sometimes I will, it's just hard to keep track of everything you're responding to!

Just be yourself.. Post what you feel, don't hold back..

I usually answer to discussions; rather than making new ones. I am amazed by the no. of topics that others have posted up; they must really be bursting with ideas; wish I'm that creative.

i find it easier to just respond to alof of discussions.I have only been with mylot for two days and i have already $1.03 in my acount.I have started maybe four of my own discussions but only one of them got alot of rsponses. So i think i am going to stick to responding unless i just have a good to start.

I will try and space mine out as I love to respond to each post. And if I post too many I cant do that. Some people can handle many discussions at once I like to do three or four a day.

I don't start a lot of discussions either, compared to a lot of other members. But when I do want to start a bunch I walk around my house to get ideas of subjects to start some discusions. I then sit at my computer and start a few. I then go to my email and see if I have some response notifications and if so I read them and comment, only if I have something more to say. I do rate them if they are good, but the mylot rules say not to just say thank you, but to do a good comment if you want, just as good of quality as all your postings. So if I have nothing more to add, I don't. I don't think there is anything wrong with not commenting on ever response you receive. I then start a few more discussions, if I have more ideas to post, and then go through the same proces. I then respond to some of my friends discussions.

I mainly reply.

I have to say that you are such a responsible person,and I wish I have the opportunity to comment the response to the discussion i started.The moment I joined mylot,I started my first discussion,but day after day,there was no respond. I think that just because I am a new member here,I am not so familar with this space,and almost has no friend here.What I need to do is just to understand the culture of you(I am a chinese),and think about the topic people here interested,and make more friend here.Do I have the honor to make a friend with?
