Discussion about Discussions

Adding more people to your "friends" list is the key to getting a lot of responses. A lot of people go thru there e-mail notifications from friends first before they hit other discussions. Hope that helps Opal. Oh by the way I'm sending a friend request.

Hi Opal, sorry just in from work and here tonight temporarily, the only advice I can give is to keep posting, keep responding and keep having fun with this site. When you post you don't get points for each response just the one for posting a discussion however it id in these discussions that you can respond and start to build friendships, when I first started I would maybe get two or three responses per post, today after 6 months I have achieved my first discussion with over 100 posts which is fantastic, believe me it will build. My first month I only just made payout, it double the next month and has been consistently at around $30 since. Also make sure you tag your discussions so people with who reply to simlar will see. I am really pleased you are enjoying it here. Ine thing to try to do is always respond using four lines of text as that seems to pay more. Persevere and reap the rewards of great friends and some extra money too. Huggles. Ellie:D

You have posts that interest me or catch my eye, I'll respond to them. Keep on posting, girl!!!

I faced the same challenge when I first joined. The primary reason is that to start getting responses, a member needs a lot of friends. There are so many discussions floating around mylot, that it takes quite a few friends to respond before the discussion becomes 'seen' by a lot of other members. I have, I think, over two hundred friends, although they aren't all active, which is something everyone deals with. I leave all my notifications on so I get every discussion notification when a friend posts a discussion. But even with all those friends, the discussions don't always strike a chord, so sometimes people won't have anything to add. And if the response is not at least three lines, mylot won't pay for that.

Hi Opal26, welcome to mylot.

It really helps if you think before you write. But sometimes I don't
really do that.

My policy here in mylot is "the more you write, the more you earn".
So it means that I have to make 4 plus sentences when I make a post.
And that also means that I need to make a lot of posts.

I also think that "the more friends you have, the more you will earn."
It's really hard in the first days to have a lot of responses for
your discussions. That is the case for all newbies I think. So it is
normal.

So post a lot, when you see a discussion you think you can respond to,
jump at it. Have a lot of friends, invite everyone who respond to your
discussions. And post discussions with universal topics, that way
anyone can easily respond to your discussions.
