I am kind of confused if we will earn more here in myLot by posting new discussions. Or is the earning the same by just joining a discussion.

Hello my fellow pinoycity, I am pinoy too. You earn higher by responding to all responses to your question in this discussion. You also earn higher when you follow the rule beside any response box: PLEASE BE DESCRIPTIVE AS POSSIBLE, and content quality. Then rate each responder, positive, negative, or abusive.

Thanks for that information, kabayan roel. This means, a thank you response will not be enough. I should be descriptive of how the response to the discussion I started helped me. And do some more actions as you've mentioned above. I will try this and check if my earning will rise. Thanks again.

I think the earnings does not depend on whether we start a discussion or you respond to a certain discussion. I guess, we earn more depending on the quality of the post whether it be a started discussion or a comment or response. Quality means sensibility of the discussion, response or comment. I have to say so because a started discussion cannot earn more when it contains a one line question. Hence, you cannot also say that a response or a comment that contains a lengthy opinion or answer will earn less over a short started discussion. Therefore, we earn high or more depending on the contents of the post. Maybe you have not observed that there are many members of mylot who prefers to respond or make comments on a certain discussion than starting a new one? It is not just because it is easier to post a comment than starting a discussion, rather it is also because mylot rewards us for quality posts. It is not about how many discussions you have made and started. It is about how sensible is your post.

Thank you choosing my response as your best. Speaking of what roes said, yes he is right. In a way, rating may help. It reflects our reputation and ranking. However, there are times that it is abusively used. I say so because since we share opinions here, we cannot control that there are members who get offended with our comments. The tendency is that, they rate us negatively. Another point is that, we need to abide with Mylot guidelines so that our posts will not get deleted. If we violate the guidelines and rules, our discussion will be deleted and wil not earn from it including those who answered.

Good point maean. But I guess, I would also like to try the tips roel gave above. Ranking response is also an activity so maybe, it will raise our earnings just a little bit more.

I truly don't know how much is a discussion worth. Around four cents probably. And the response must be less than four cents. It is a difficult climb financially, really. But there are others who seem to be happy with their earnings. One friend even used her paypal to pay her US visa. She must have discovered the secret. Sorry, I haven't!

That is one information, I guess, myLotters would want to have. How much do myLot pay for a response or a discussion? (I hope myLot does not penalize me for that question). Knowing this, it will be easier to plan how to reach a targeted earnings. But, I think, the pay structure is very complicated. They have to consider length and quality, so that's more a wishful thinking.

you can earn more in mylot by posting a discussion but topic should be of more interest once you start a discussion you must reply to all the users those who are joining your discussion ........ replying to others discussion would also work

Meaning, the earnings are the same, whether you start or just join a discussion.

Yes, we do get some payments from an activity but as to which will give us more earning, I'm not sure.

I think posting a reply will be higher. However, if you start a discussion and it got a few hits, then it will overtake joining a discussion. Just my 2 cents thou.

I would think if you want to earn a great deal from posting your own discussion it would have to be something that becomes a hot one and it would need to be there for a bit. I tend to post more responses than I do my own posts because I never got much response to my discussions. If you want to earn well from your responses though you have to be certain they are of high quality and not just one or two word responses. Also add photos to your responses to make them more valuable but the photos must be pertinent to the discussion. Have fun and good luck with your earning.

Thanks tammy. I will try adding pictures and see if the changes to my earning will be significant and report it back to fellow myLotters.

I don't think anyone can tell what will bring you more money - starting a new discussion or responding to an existing one. But I think that starting a good discussion brings you a good chace to earn easier if you choose the right topic. I mean, you choose a topic you like, one that you know a lot about, and use it to start a new discussion. This way you have the chance to comment every response you get with quality posts, and that's how you can earn more by doing something you like. Unfortunately I don't have such ideas of new topics too often, that's why I mostly respond to others discussions. But still I can't tell how did I earned more, by starting, or by responding to discussions.

It happens, I think, to most of us here in myLot - times when we don't really have any idea what topic to start a discussion with. Some days, I only try to respond to discussions because nothing gets in my head. Some days, I cannot find any discussions that interest me much, so I try to start one.

starting a new discussion will help you earn more. for the simple fact, if the discussion is popular the more hits you get the more money you'll make on top of that responding back to those who responded is a good way in earning extra

Yes, a popular topic will get many response which, in turn, will give you more chance to reply and will, consequently earn you more money.
