In order to get a large response to your discussion, is it better to post them in INTERESTS that have large member quotas, rather than INTERESTS that have fewer members? I wonder about this, as there may be an INTEREST which is more specific to my discussion but then when I see the amount of members it has, I wonder if it will be a waste of time posting it there and should instead choose LIFE, PEOPLE or a more popular one etc.

Well, posting in the larger interests WILL get your discussion seen by more people, and as such will give you the opportunity to receive more responses, yes.

Posting in a more popular section will get your discussion seen by more members and that may result in you getting more responses.

The quality of those responses may not be as good as they would have been if you had posted in a specific interest section.

Responses are fine but won't earn you anything unless you comment on them.
Good quality responses allow you to make good return comments which earn you more.

Your friends list is also a very important factor in getting responses as is the time of day when you post,which day you post and obviously the quality of your discussion has a little to do with itlol

Excellent first point Mike...and yes it dawned me yesterday that the time of day is also very important, especially if your homing in on people from a particular country..i think.....please elaborate more if you can on the timing bit. Thanks Angelie


myLot reputation of 95/100. mike197601 (5276)   ranked 201 out of 27,472 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Do you mean the timing as in the time of the day to post or which day to post ?
The time of the day to post depends which nation you feel will produce the most responding members.


myLot reputation of 92/100. sritrinity (199)   ranked 4,206 out of 27,472 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Yes Mike....it's starting to dawn on me, and your nailing it for me.

Like for eg there are many discussions that I may start which require a response from my Western counterparts (and vice versa of course). So if my UK fellow people are up then they can respond quickly and if I'm still up till that dastardly hour (lol) I can send an instant reply and so on...and the real time activity can attract other UK users....I have noticed that when for eg I post them in the day (my time).....then I'll get more responses from Easterners, but at night it tends to be the Westerners...

So if I post something in the day here...by the time UK or USA see it....it's gone many pages down, and will need to be scrolled.....so more chances of being over looked.....but if I post it at night here.....then it's fresh on recent posts...something like that anyway......it's just helpful if your targeting a specific country/crowd....i think....correct me if I've buggered that one up!?

Yes timings in terms of what day seems to make a difference too as weekends seem quieter....people going with family....shopping.....outings etc...lesser activity.

Angelie

Dear friend,
Actually, I join mylot just want to have friends and also to practice my writing skill. I enjoy mylot because I learn from a lot discussion about the variety of topics relating to our life in universe. It is so lively and broaden my view of life since I learn to give tolerance with other regardless the differences that we have in multicultural background. So, I feel happy if my friends give me responses for the discussion I start. But, I won't be disappointed if my friends don't give me responses. May be, my topic is too common. I only choose to make respond if I feel that I have idea to write a comment and the topic is interesting. So, I decide to make respond randomly and based on my interest. The most important thing is enjoying the moment with mylot..hehehe

Hi, Riani, thank you. Yes but sometimes I feel there are little techniques to know how to optimize the responses as it's much more fun when you have lots of people responding, otherwise it can get bit lonely. So sometimes, TIME, PLACE aswell as content have to be considered. Take care hun. Angelie

Hi there!
I think that subject matter of the discussion should be posted in the proper 'INTEREST' section rather than posting it in appropriate section, just because more users are members of that INTEREST group. Sometimes, it is tricky to decide the group, in that case, I suppose the interest group 'Life' or 'people' is the safest bet. I have observed few users posting 'relationship' issues on 'mylot' interest section, which looks bizarre to me. I post most of my discussions in the section 'People', because I talk about human beings or rather my discussions relate to human activities. Number of responses, I believe, depends upon many factors rather than 'interest' group, in which a discussion is posted. My dear friends/other members respond to my discussions, if it has some and substance in it, rather than category of 'interest' of my discussions.
Good Post!
