Pick topics that are about everyday things, American Idol, reality tv, holidays, human nature.

try to get good honest friends, and also u too reply to their discussions, many people are mostly responders like me, but u should definitely add your comment to all the mebers who respond you , or atleast the persons who respond u regularly, that acts as the stimulation for the people as they get advantage when their response is commented, so they will keep u replying for long peroid, if not after some time they will close your notify or remove you from their friend's list.

well, don't start discussions about things of limited interest, like "who's your favorite Bollywood actor" or "what is your favorite curry." Also don't start ones that are against mylot rules like "what's your favorite color" or "its my birthday." A good discussion has a general interest, but can be an actual discussion. Sure, you can start them about India's cricket team, but then only other Indian cricket fans will respond. It should be more than one or 2 lines and include some thing personal, for example, if I start a discussion about cats, I generally tell some story about my cats to start with. One day, back in January, I cleaned out my car. Well, I started a discussion about the temputure, the car cleaning out and how I fell down, sure, it could've been only one discussion, but I made it three. Good luck. oh, and it HELPS to have lots of friends....

I think at first you try to respond more others' discussions and try to make more friends in Mylot. Then you will receive more responses. Second, I think the simple questions always have more responses. I love China

I don't know it seems that many people will respond to discussion about subjects of general interest. I just stumble around and sometimes hit the jackpot and get a lot of responses.

Here one can get lot of responses by starting very simple discussion to whom every one can respond to, from sharing your dream to the dish you like or vehicle you drive...lol, but getting more responses hardly matters here, as it has nothing to do with earnings, earnings totally depends on the quality of discussion, so need to talk all that rubbish just to get more responses.

I don't know of any sure fire way of getting responses. I have been here for three years and I still am amazed at some of the members who get quite a few responsed on some of their discussions. One of the ways I think is responding to others discussions on a regular basis. That way the other members get to know who you are and that you will respond to their discussions and in turn they will respond back to yours. I will be interested in seeing what your other responses say.

sadly my dear, i dont know either. i would probably suggest that you come up with a very interesting topic. in my case, i tried. just when i thought the topic is interesting enough, i have very few responses. oh Well! that's life! :)

I am not an expert at that either. But my thinking is that if we write something to the liking of common people , they get attracted to the discussion & they would response most often. Also if some real life based incident is shared , it gets more responses. That's not my personal experience but general view here.
