Hello co-myLotters, Am a two month old in here and am still in my adrenalin in participating myLot thing. I know i may sound envious but am not. Am just wanted to learn from you guys on how you do it reaching big number of replies even if the topic is not that so interesting. Anyway, interest depends on each taste and views in life. Wanna hear some tips from you . Have some secrets on it? Thanks!

You will find that most of the topics that receive a lot of responses are those where the starter of the topic gets back and comments to those who respond and keeps the discussion moving. Do you do that? We earn here for our participation in quality discussions and a discussion where there is just a question and a response with no-one coming back and commenting is not what myLot is about. When others see that a user does not come back and continue the conversation, often they do not respond on the topics that the user starts.

Hello mysdianait, Very well taken and now i am doing it as much as possible with my precious time with you guys. I could observed some has big reputation with lesser number of participation. This may explain how it pays to give a quality context from our composed paragraph. Thank you yellow Santa! @hardworkinggurl, Second demotion to you gurl! mysd really showered me a wonderful one. For the second line. . . what do you mean? Got tabula rasa in here.

lol @ 'yellow Santa' Don't worry too much about 'getting it right'. You will do fine and in time you will be advising the others too. Welcome aboard and keep it up!

mysd in box number one said it best. It does take a bit of time, but replying to responses with others also gains you more and more active participation with others. Once members see your quality posting and quality responding they sure will look out for your discussions.

Hi, Yes, i do understand what you mean and i love to see active participation in a box that has many ideas collected in. It is not only quality responding but as well as quality spending time of togetherness in a box. Thank you so much! Does your avatar crying?

Yes we all love the togetherness as this is what, the greatest myLotter mysd encourages us all to do as she keeps the discussion flowing. My avatar cries and screams out loud but she hurts no one ears.

I think your discussion should be posted in a right interest category to get more responses. The discussion is competed when you give the comment back on the response but it also should be worth and should not be like"thanks for the response" "thanks" "OK" "no" "yes" ....... I feel everything is needed by heart , don't worry you will learn it as you get experienced.

Hi, Experience is our best teacher! Yes, it is! if one dares to try and not afraid of getting wrong. I knew now how vital for our post to comment back a soon as possible. A starter must say back even a little than nothing at all. right? Thank you for your eye opener suggestion,

It's hard to say. It seems like some of the MOST random discussions get tons of discussions. But I feel like it's about the question you ask - something that everyone can relate to, something NOT culture-specific and not super unique. A few of my discussions have gotten quite a few responses, but not all that many (usually I get about 10 responses per discussion, on average).

hello maezee, Yes, will take note of your words and perhaps developing friendship through active discussion in one box can help it much too. The thread or the story behind the head post helps a lot too. Everything plays its role and well designed mylot. Thanks for your sharing! I need it. God bless you!

It is like dians has said that you need to take the time co comment back to teh responses you receive, as that is only courteous to do so. You will also find that the ones that get responses, have taken the time to think up a topic that users are interested in responding to. If you don't post a quality discussion or one that others won't respond to, then you won't earn for that either. I don't start all that many discussions, but I have received responses to all of them, some more than others, and I also comment back to them as well. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi rosekiss, Directly gone to your profile after finished reading your suggestion. I Felt being cared with an elder sibling here. Time management become my new problem now because myLot may took lots of it but no regrets. It really pays to get back what were started. Looking back our post will lead us further to our goal. Thank you for this. Happy myLotting!
