disscussions

Hello, I honestly can say that I think the same way and feel like that maybe I post the wrong discussions or maybe post it at the wrong time. For me I tend to post discussions that would help me out with getting responses to topics that I need info on. Although that alone does not help at all, because I posted a discussion about 3 days ago and have not gotten one response and I was hoping for at least one because the discussion was about something that I really need to know. I tried getting the info I needed on the net but had no luck so I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to help me out with it. So I tend to throw the discussions up and hope for the best. I think that is the only thing we can do anymore. It use to be so easy getting responses but that is not the case now days unless you post stupid discussions like what's your favorite food or color. It is like everyone is getting bored with posting real needed advice discussions that could really help people out. Well I just think we need to keep plucking away and things will get better. Happy Mylotting

Well I have come to the conclussion that there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to what topics are best or when is best to post them. Trust me I have tried starting different topics from humorous to series, long and short and no matter what time of day I posted the response rate would fluctuate. So I gave up on trying to work out when and what to post. The only self imposed rule I go by is not to post too many discussions at once in case people got sick of seeing my name keep coming up.

Almost anytime is a great time to post a discussion! Anytime you have something to say; a position an opinion or a stance. Everytime you learn something of value; Everyone here on Mylot loves to learn and spend much of the time here doing just that. Anytime you need to know something; this place is a wealth of information full of people 24/7 who are experts on just about everything. Happy Mylotting!!

I hear ya, I have the same problem.. I don't start many discussions.. and Apparently many of them I start at the wrong time of the day.. which is the middle of the night for me... And then, all these people "wake up" and start tons of discussions and mine gets buried and soon discussions I thought were good have gotten too few responses. Or Mylot deletes them when they get a bunch.. and I get annoyed with the whole situation. LOL that has happened more often than not lately.

Anytime is a good time but you don't have to post discussions to participate. You can just respond to existing discussions by your friends, on the no response pages, on the new user pages... You will still earn and you can still discuss and network based on what is interesting to you.

Hi there..i think we have same difficulty. i mean, i also try to post an interesting discussion(in my opinion), but sometimes had a plenty responses. i have seen any discussion from a member here which have similar topic than mine, and you know what, it has a lot of responses, but mine only have 4 responses. i don't know what the best time to post discussion, or maybe we need a luck to get more responses? hehe..thanx.

I never even thought about what time was best to post . I think of a post , something that either pi$$ed me off or a good question I need help with , and I post it the minute I'm online. There are too many members to try to think what post would Everyone like. I have many friends and many interests so I am dsure there will be at least one person who will respond. And if no one does? It's okay . At least I tried. So just think of the best question to ask and send it out . I have your notice "on" so I'll get an email whenever you post. I promise to read it and try to respond.

I don't think there's any particular time of day that's better for posting -- remember, we have an international membership here. If you feel like posting something, just post it. Don't worry so much.

I think this question was posted or similar to this when I first started here at mylot. And I think they said in the early evening right when people get home from work was the best time for people to post discussions and to get the best amount of responses. You could do a testing of this and post some discussions at different times of the day to see which one gets the most responses. I know it will be a little skewed as the topics will be different. But hey it's worth a try! I don't have that time availability to try it.

Don't be so hard on yourself for goodness sake!! There is no ideal time to start a discussion from what I have seen since there are mylotters from all over the world. And if you have an idea for a discussion, go for it. Chances are good that someone else might be thinking about starting a topic similar and that is all well and good! Start a topic on something you like, dislike, need advice on, an interest you have etc...There are no limitations on the kind of discussions you can start. The diversity of mylotters will show you over time the kind of topics that folks think about and or will respond to! Most of all, have fun here and earn a bit of pocket money!! Be well!!

Sometimes i do not know what to type as a discussion either. i just let it flow naturally and i mostly state discussions when i am really in the most and have a clear idea of what i want to portray.

I have yet to post my own discussion for this reason.

Yep. I pretty much start discussions on random things I find interesting though hahah.
