The best thing to do is to look at other discussions that have a lot of replies. What are they about? Find topics that people find interesting and you will have a lively discussion. It is also important to acknowledge replies and have conversations with people to respond to your discussions. People love to share experiences! If you go hiking, for instance, describe it and ask if others like to hike and ask them to describe their favorite trail. Get them talking about themselves, amuse them, make them smile.

The more interests you have here on mylot the more you will have to respond to and if you have the life or online earnings interests here on mylot you will see there are al ot of discussions on that interests. If you start a discussion under a interests that many other mylotters have then you will see a lot more responses under your discussion you have started. Add some more interests here on mylot as you will see what interests come across the most and those are the ones you will want to start a discussion on.

Hi Relative17 :) I think the key to successful discussions is not the subject matter so much as how you manage your discussions. You have to be the one to keep them active. When people respond to you, be sure to comment back with a good reply. Ask them further questions about what they have said... propose additional ideas based on their opinions. Think of it as a conversation that you are having face to face with that other member - when someone answers your question in "real life" conversation, do you just say thank you and not another word? Or, do you keep chatting? If you "keep chatting" and engage people in conversation here at myLot (whether the subjects are positive OR negative), it is definitely to your benefit and to the benefit of those who participate with you... everyone wins ;)

I think discussions that ask people their opinion are the best. If it's a serious subject or involves something that makes people think, then you are more likely to get more responses. Everyone has different opinions on topics, so inviting them to share their point-of-view opens the door for more discussion to take place.
