Do you like to respond or ask questions more?

From my experience here, it seems that asking questions will get you more money that responding to one, although I usually ask and respond to questions because I think it's usually easier to give my opinion on something rather than think of a question to ask, haha. :D Although if a person was here just for the money, then I think it would make more sense to only ask questions, because that's where most of the money is on here. Which do you prefer doing more, asking or answering? Do you care much about answering? Because the profit for answering is really small. :/

i prefer to answer more rather than creating discussions as i never receive much response to my discussions... and as you say, answering and voicing your opinions is much more easier compare to creating questions... and i'm not sure about which one will earn me more money because i am earning fine at the moment even though i hardly create a discussion... take care and have a nice day...

I like to participate more in the discussions, I spend most of the time blogging and making money online, so not much time to start discussions and respond to comments.

I would rather respond to questions. I don't ever have anything to ask to start a good conversation with. I find that it is easier for me to just respond because there is usually things on here that I can relate to and post a good response to.

You definitely earn more money starting discussions - provided people respond to your discussions :) As for me, I rarely start discussions and whenever i have I've never received too many responses. maybe I dont strat the right discussions or dont know how to post them in a way that they would appear on the first page of the discussion list. So I pretty much make do with responding to other people's discussions.

if you want to start a question all the time, sometimes the questions will become meaningless, something like what's you have for breakfast/ that will be make people a little bit boring. if you have a good question, sure people like respone and share their ideas. like me, coz maybe the english level, some questions get nobody responed. and now i like to answer questions and i like friends to correct my english.and i get learn a lot from diffrent answers.

i first of all dont know how the payment method is for our discussions. i just came to know now from you that asking questions is paid more. but i really feel more comfortable to respond than starting and asking in a discussion. i just choose a discussion which i m interested into and then reply to that orelse to start a discussion takes a long time for me as i need to think of it more and more and also less people respond the discussion, which really disappoints me.

I like to respond questions more because I like to see new discussions. Thus I can see what happen and what's the people care about.

I'm not sure if creating a discussion or responding to other people's discussions earns you more or less, i do both creating discussions and responding to other discussions with varying earnings, i think its a case of the more descriptive you are in either creating new discussions or responding to other discussions is where you earn more

I don't ask questions much. I have started only 6 questions out of more than 800 posts. I respond to discussions more rather than starting one. It's not that I don't have questions to ask, I just want that if I were to ask another question again, I would be assured of responses. And I usually have a very hard time thinking of a discussion to start because I base my questions on my real life experiences. Anyway, from my experience.. days ago.. I responded to only 2 discussions and received a fair amount of $0.07 .. so I think I got about $0.035 per answer. Its really about how you answer discussions. As what they say here in mylot: "Quality . Not quantity". Best of luck! Happy postings!

I actually answer questions more than I start one. Although when I do start one, I do see an increase in my earnings, probably because I give comments to the responses to my discussion and keep the discussion going. I would like to make an experiment - one day I will answer all discussions and another day start as many discussions, just to see which will get me more money. I think I will do that next month. Still scrambling to meet minimum payout as of now.

I like to respond and enjoy earning though it is little enough. some time I ask question. if i always ask question then I will not get time to respond and read the answer

Because I could care less about the earnings here, I prefer to answer or respond to some of the discussions here. I also like to read the discussions to see what other people think. I have noticed though that for this type of forum that most of the people aren't as open minded as I would expect. Some people tend to get pretty personal, which never ceases to amaze me. Nevertheless I am able to find topics of interest.

Answering.I thought most people here are not just for the money,as we all know the profit earned here is so little that i don't think anyone here care that.At least I am here for friends and the profit here merely is the minor stuff.
