I don't know how to get lots of responses to my discussions...I want to be able to talk about them a lot, and I post to other discussions, but I can't seem to get many responses...any advice?

Hi cs I would like to help you with that. First thing is get friends added to your list. I got most of my friends by going to the same person and making comments to them often. Then I would send them friend request and most would accept. The more friends that you have then you will get email alerts saying that friend started a discussion. When you start responding to the discussion then they will see that you are active with them and they will return the favor back to you. I wish you luck and hope that you do your best on here. Don't give up and Im sure that you will do good. I will help as much as I can. Just give me a shout. I have added you to my friends if you accept. Oh yeah one more thing. Always make comments back to your discussions. That will help you out alot. Keep smiling.

cscushman first thing do not pick a best response too soon as some people will turn away if there is a best response given too soon. wait so lots of p eople have a chance to read your discussion then pick the best response, this way you will get more responses as all may want to have a chance at best response. good luck.

Hi cscushman: The trick is in posting interesting topics or questions. Go through questions and answers given by others. You can see what type of topics get the most number of answers. Also, write in a way that makes interesting reading. You can post the most basic and boring question in a novel and exciting way that will make the others want to respond. Don't worry, through experience you will succeed. Don't give up.
