Do you get paid more for starting a discussion or posting to a discussion?

There is no set amount that you get for each post, whether it be a discussion or a response to a discussion. If you have a good topic for a discussion and you get a lot of responses, it will pay more. But if you start a dozen responses a day that no one bothers with, you've pretty much wasted your time. I try to have a good mix of both. I have a lot of tips about this sort of thing on my profile, you might want to check it out.

No the rate is same for both. $0.01 for every post under 4 lines. I get bux posting response. my highest earning was $.36.

There is on difference in earning for responding and starting discussion. Earning depends only our participation of discussion. There is no change in earning difference like you are saying. I like to respond to discussions started by others. Keep in touch

Personally I feel that it may actually be the opposite. Without being specific regarding amounts, on the days that I spend answering responses to my own discussions rather than posting responses to OTHER people's discussions my earnings seem to be less. But then again, if I DO manage to nail a discussion topic that gets a LOT of responses then it tends to even out! Overall though, I do feel that responding seems to be slightly ahead in terms of earning potential. I am interested to see what others think?

I don't know.I think it all depends on quality post and comments.I seriously, have no idea,since when I post a discussion,I really don't count and post it.Similarly,even when giving response,I don't remember how many.I am more interested in participating and I hardly remember how much I posted and responded today so far..
