boomima theres not a whole lot you can do. You cannot make discussions bawling people out for not responding, and you cannot make a discussion just like the one that did not get' responses as that just breaks a mylot rule. you smile and respond to others discussion, and try to make a more interesting one next time, also if you do respond a lot more to others discussions they will see you and remember you and start to respond to that discussion you thought was great and did not get many responses. so wait a while before getting all upset, sometimes it takes a little while for us to know you and respond to you, like being the new kid on the block a bit, we have to get to know you and respond to you.So you just go on forget this discussion and make another one or respond to others discussions then come back and you will find you have a lot of responses to that discussion after all. sometimes it takes a while for people to get arou nd to all the discussions. sometimes people are off on trips or are busy at work and just not here to comment or respond. so have some patience and you will be rewarded.

Hatley, one thing boomima needs to do is to comment on responses that come in on the discussion, as that will get him more notice in the long run.

Well, I just look at the discussion and think what I might have done wrong to not garner an amount of interesting. I see failed discussions as an ability to learn from what works. I try and figure out what went wrong. Then, I keep that in mind for future discussions. Sometimes a discussion is just buried in hundreds upon hundreds of threads, while other times, the interest just is not there.

I just shrug and start another discussion hoping for better results. You're not going to have all your discussions appear on the top discussions and you're going to have a few that get no responses at all.

Atleast this discussion has caught the eye of many There are several reasons why a discussion does not get many responses and it need not be a boring one. Timing seems one of the main reasons. It happens to many of us and in such an eventuality one needs to just move on. In another forum members pm alerts when they put up a discussion.

Notifications on your friends will let you know when they start discussions, and when they respond to yours.

What I meant to say was that one can pm friends and tell them to respond to their disicussions.

A lot of us, have this problem. I think that not all feel the need to respond as they may not know how to or haven,t had any experience in a situation. Just be patient and keep on trying. You will get there sooner than you think.

Friend, I can tell you right now what you need to do in that discussion and in all of your discussions if you want to get them noticed more. You need to go to the discussion, and under each response you need to post a comment. When you do that your discussion will come back to the top of the list of discussions and new people will see it.An even better thing to do would be to go in and comment to a few, and let it die down, then do it again with the next responses. I really do not start many discussions, but I do comment on the responses I get, and joke and talk back and forth in other discussions as well, so that people get to know me better. I also add lots of friends. I turn my notifications on, so I learn about their discussions in my e mail, and I respond to lots of them. That is why they like to respond to me.

I'll wait if I don't feel good in responding to really answer. There's no way I'm doing a ton of discussion if not in the normal position. If wrong way then the discussion would stray from the course and experienced a fatal accident. Other people aware and to read what you make, but if we cannot respond to whether we will impose the will of people.

To be honest i don't care whether my discussions would be well responded or not. Alaways remember one thing it's hard to please everyone . Something you think interesting others might not. This is very a common thing . When i raise a discussion i hope to get responses from the people who have some common or interested in my topics . Even i get only a few responses i think ok as long as i make myself clear.

well, i don't think there is something you can do, if your discussion is not well responded. You can only post a new one and hope you will get more responses this time. You must think very good before you post a discussion, because there is no use of posting some useless discussion, which don't interest no one. I am very happy with one of my last discussions, because there are 114 people till now, who have responded to it, and I think it is one of the most responded. Does anybody knows, can I see which are the most responded discussions?

I remember the most important success and prospecting lesson I learned from one of the network marketing trainings that I have attended: SW3 NXT. We were taught that if someone, or if a prospect ignore our invitation and proposal, we just need to say to ourselves "Some Will join, Some Won't join, So What! Next!". Now, apply this here. Some Will respond to your discussion, Some Won't, So What! Move on and go to the Next discussion and task! Move on. Enjoy life here. Keep moving.

What to do when your discussion has not been well responded? Well that is not a very encouraging situation but I don't really allow that to affect me. That happens to anyone else here. Not all discussions will ever get huge responses. I have several of them and I even have one or two with zero responses actually. At first I was saddened but later I learned to live with it. If people around are not interested with my topic I just leave it that way. No need to do anything. I go on with life here at mylot the usual way. I respond and participate with other discussions so that I will still earn while staying.

I don't really worry about how many responses I receive, as I am thankful that I get any responses at all. It is very hard to come up with a good topic of discussion, one that will get good responses. I have never ever got as many responses as some get in here when they get hundreds. If I ever got that many, I would probably faint, and I would have a lot of commenting to do, which would take me a long time, but I certainly wouldn't mind. You know though, I have never had one discussion that got zero responses, so that part is good. I haven't had really good discussions like some in here, but at least I have received some responses, and I have commented back to all of them as well. I don't start all that many discussions, as I prefer to post responses as it is much easier. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
