Discussions or Coments?

June 24, 2009 10:13pm CST
What's better to start discussions or to coment on others discussions. Most of the time I coment on other discussions that are interesting to me and I have posted some discussions but not as many. I was looking for some interesting discussions and I noticed that there are some people post one discussion after another. So I was wonthering what would actually help me more posting discussions or just comenting on other discussions. I'm interested in making my 6 into a 10 and also get more point out of the work I'm doing. I would be really thankful for any coments and information. Have a great mylotting day.

I have been here for about a month.. I respond to other people's discussions and also post a couple of my own.. I guess it depends on what you want to write about.. Haven't had a topic yet that was high in numbers but I am still going to try anyways.. Another pointer, when you are done writing make sure you write something in the tag, it could be anything pertaining to what you wrote about.. Also rate people, that little plus or negative sign right next to someone's comment or near the end of someone's discussion, you do get a little bit for doing that.. And lastly, when you are writing on here make sure to write 3 to 4 lines, and have good content for the subject, i have noticed a better pay out in the end.. Good luck and happy lotting

Well I can't help it I love to write, share my ideas with people, meet new people, learn about different things and to get paid for it on top of that.. This is one site that even if I was making more then enough money some where else I still would not quit.. In a months time I have been able to help some people with their our personal struggles, and also learn that I am not the only one out there with certain problems.. And if I can not talk to someone on the phone or in person, there is always someone on mylot willing to listen and shed some light my way... Its an awesome thing.. Just depends on a persons aspect of life I guess.. Good luck to you too and Happy lotting.

One month and you have made 279 post that is amazing to me because I have almost two months and I have less than you. About rating people I do rate them but I normally just rate the only the discussoins and not the other coments because most of the time I would just read the discussion. I don't know if it matters if I do not rate the coments that come with the discussions I also coment on. But I also thank you for your coments. Have great mylotting day.

Like you, i am fond of responding or commenting than starting my own discussion. Most of the time i do not think of what to post so i prefer to respond. As you can notice here that the topic are just repeating sometimes same title but different contains as i have already done a post which have the same title as others but different contains. Just keep on starting discussion if you have an idea of what to post or start.

Some times I might have an idea on what to post but when I get to depoint of writing it I don't think is such a good discussion. But I guess I don't have noting to lose by posting my discussion any ways. Also most of the time I spend most of my time comenting than thinking of what to discuss. Thank you.

Yeah we have sometime that we have no idea of what to post or start, and responding than posting or starting is an alternative way. I do enjoy responding to others discussion than to start. For over years here and inactive for ten months i can still count the discussion i started because i can not think of what topic to post. Keep that way, yes nothing to lose if we don't start discussion, we still earn as long as we comments or responds to others.

I am much interested of giving responses to other discussions. It is hard to create a substantive discussion of your own as there are now many same discussion and just being repeated over and over again. And everytime I will create my own discussion, this is about me sharing what happen with my life and some of the question that I need various answers, when I had topic about that, i definitely post it here and wait for the members response. For the mean time I am enjoying on giving response to others discussion.

I also think the same I guess we also do the same thing. I do try to post discussions but nothing just comes to my mind and when is those either I do not think is a good discussion or is a question that I really need peoples opinions. Because when I try to start a descusion like what is you fabority---- I always get that a blanck. Thank you gracychunny26 for you coment.

Mostly I just respond to discussions interesting to me, around 10 posts each day. Sometimes if a good idea occurrs to me, I also start a new discussion and comment on each response. I don't set a goal for me to reach a certain amount of posts each day, I just choose some interesting topics to respond. What I care about most is the quality of my discussions. When I respond or post, I manage to make my words as descriptive as possible. We're paid here for our own activities. That's to say we're paid when we respond to discussions or comment or others' responses. So discussions and comments are both ok.

Hi chenxiaoyue_713, and also thank you for your coment. I try to post many coments each day but I actually end up doing less than 10 and most of the days are around 5. I know that is not alot but someday I might be able to post more but until that they I guess I will try a little harder each day. And your right we do get payed for posting no matter if it is a comment or a discussion.

Sometimes I write my discussions down on a notepad while offline doing housework or puttering around the house and then power post them (one after another) when I get online. That saves time. It only seems fast. That's why I do it, other people might have other reasons. Right now, I don't make too much money off posting discussions. So I don't do it. And, considering that you have to babysit your discussion all day and update constantly, it's not really worth the ten cents or so they are paying.

That is a great idea beautyqueen26 I think I might try it. The only bad thing is that I might forget to do it since most of the time I have to run all over the house. If I'm not cooking I'm cleaning, taking care of my baby, getting what ever my husband or my daughter need, doing the laundry and feadind the dogs. But I will try it anyway to so if it might work for me. Thank you.

Hello desteny114!!! I think both are pretty same. If you choose to start the discussions, then you should comment on each and response you get. This is the most nice thing to do with our discussions. Do you respond in othe's discussion or comment on others discussion. Most of the time I respond to the discussion. But for the comment I get for my response I may be continuing with comments on and an if the discussion is interesting. But very few times, I choose to comment on others response in others discussion. The reason why I don't like to do that is, I don't get notifications for commenting on others comments. So, it becomes hard to keep connected with it. That's why mostly I prefer responding to others discussions. Like you I am also seeking to reach the rating 10. To reach upto 9 was not that difficult. You have to post more and some qualitative responses actively you will get to it fast. But it has been long time that I have got the rating of 9. I am not being able to reach ten. Mylotter say that is the rating of the responses by the readers of our responses that help to rise or fall the rating or the stars. Anyway keep on posting, one day you will reach the 10th star for sure. Good luck for it... Happy mylotting...

I did not know that we do not get a notification when we coment others coments. I guess since I normally do not coment on others coments, I have maybe ones or twice but I never noticed if I got a notification. Thanks for your coment and also for the information it's good to know new things. I feal like a little girl with my star just looking at it all the time that I loge in to see if it changed but nothing jet. I guess I have to worke harder and make my post better. Happy mylotting also to you.

I always wonder which one will give us more earnings, posting discussions or responding to discussions? I have no idea, I just try to do both because I don't know how they count.

Hi I also ask my self the same question and also many other questions about how mylot works. I don't know if we get payed for uploding pictures or if they stoped doing so also how do they rate all our work. There are many other questions but I guess thanks to other members like you I will lurn something new all the time. I guess I will also try to do both I will try atlest because to me comenting a discussion is easier than starting a discussion. Thanks for your coment have a nice mylotting day.

I would much rather post responses to oter discussions than starting my own. I do better as I think I make more money as some of the discussions I think, fell by the wayside and didn't get many responses. I will start one if the mood strikes me though, after I have thought of a good topic. It does take me awhile to come up with a topic as I don't want to duplicate other discussions. We have enough of those as is. I would much rather post responses, as long as there are good discussions to post to. Well, good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi rosekiss I guess we are not the only ones that think alike. I also think that way and I think that I will try to post more discussion but I'm sure that there are not going to be that many since I also do not like duplicate discussions. But if I ever have a questoin were I would need people like you and like most of the mylotte members I'm going to post them so I coud get an honest opinion. Thank you and good luck to you and have a great mylotting day.

I'm interested to see what type of discussion you have started so I guess I will see later.

Thank you for your coment and I hope I can have some good and interesting discussions to write so I can increas my earnings a little bit faster with out having to do task. I do like some of the task but the ones that I like are so hard to get either they harly ever post them or when I get to see one they do not pay as mutch.

I think you can do better if you are able to get many comments from discussions. But still, it depends on the quality of your participation that matters.

I always try my best when I post a coment or a discussion but I have a little problem with my spelling and gramar. I also wish I knew how to get more people to coment on my discussions but I have not been lucky I guess. Or it might actually be that i do not post interesting discussion. Happy mylotting and thank you.

i dont think posting too much discussions is a good idea. the thing is you get paid according your comment. you get well paid if your comment is good, less if not so good. but side by side, we should add some discussions too. lol....happy mylotting.
