Learning about discussions

Welcome to mylot. There is much truth in the saying,"Big things come in small packages".Also don't forget that the attention span of people nowadays is less than that of a goldfish. Goldfish_9 sec Humans_8 sec

Although short discussions can attract attention, it's a fact that most one-liners are worthless. You only have to read around to see which posts get many Likes and Comments and which don't. Speaking for myself: I rarely comment on extremely short discussions. Don't overdo it with emoticons. It looks childish. Just my (unasked-for) opinion.

More than the length, the true quality is in the actual content and how it is written. I too write mainly short paragraphs as I feel that if I write a loooong post people only read a part of it.

One need not post a lengthy post actually. You just have ton interact a lot here. Meaning comments on posts that interests you. But you can post too if you like. A short one will do , as long as you have taken everything you need to describe and say.

when you submit your own discussion, try to give it more details/description so readers will understand. then when members respond, try to converse with them about the topic. do the same when you participate in other people's discussions. try to give a good response about the topic.

I don't think that it matters how long or short you discussion are..

yeah, it's alright. welcome to mylot, by the way. most of the time, i prefer short ones.

Welcome to the wonderful world of myLot!

Yes you can write shorter discussions but make sure that you are not repeating the " What do you like" type of discussions that most newbies do. Write about yourself or things of interest. I am far an expert but I do make payout monthly, make friends and then you`ll be on your way into the mylot family.
