Hello LOtters, we all do our best to make our post quality over quantity. what is the worth of having so many novel size paragraph post if it doesn't make any sense.I know sometimes i did. so,now when ever i make a response and comment i might as well sure that i am direct to the point. but some are trying to "exaggerate" their points. of course, barging in can be one of them but to most people. But they prefer to comment on those responses, that they will have something to say if in case they didn't disagree (not NEG RATE) or add something. My strategy now isn't doing well for me because i don't have the stamina in my brain.so, when ever i make a response most of the time it's short and "sweet" What ever you're strategy is I hope it's working for you. you can share it if you want. Have a Great Day..

Here is my style of responding and or making discussions: I normally reply just as I would with any off-line conversation, after all it is a discussion right. So when I reply I try to get my point across and well it flows naturally. Sometimes I am to the point, short and sweet, but not often though as I find I always have lots to say. I can't help it I have lived a life and can share a great deal of wisdom based on my experiences.

Yeah, hardworkinggurl, that's what I mostly do too. I just say what I want to say that's like I'm just right in front of the person who started the discussion and the people who have answered and say what I want. And yes, normally, my answer would be a little long. I think it's because when you say words, it's far shorter than when you write them so it seems like you've written something long but when you say it, it's just short. I don't really know about strategies here at myLot. What I can say is just be yourself in any discussion but try not to make others angry because they will give you (-) points. I'm just happy and contented to see that somehow everyday, my earnings here are growing even just a bit. That makes me look forward to something... that I somehow makes good contributions to this place...

@Bannybanzie sounds like you have an unbeknown strategy which is great. Sounds like me I place my input and am satisfied with it on a daily basis. As for member placing negative they have it all wrong. We are not suppose to rate people negative because we do not agree with them as opposite responses make for great discussions. This is stipulated int he guidelines, at any rate we cannot control how other utlize their actions and or responses, as for me I am very satisfied and comfortable each time I place the enter button. Thanks for responding to me.

Hi Letranknight, I do not have a particular strategy,but I try to be as descriptive as possible.I also add some examples whenever and wherever necessary.I take care of that most of my responses are in a friendlier tone. I would give my best to help the person wherever it is required.In other words I look to add some more value to the discussion with my post. I speak as if I am speaking to one of my close friend. Happy mylotting.

Hello calpro, It's really good to be descriptive as possible, some users tend to respond just for the sake of it. that's good to be friendly as well/. i like you're way of talking speaking as if it was you're close friend., i guess that's why i love this site is because there's a lot of people whom i think can be you're close friend.

Like saying I am an 'OP here?' or something like that? Well, my mine depends whether who I am giving my response to. If it my friend, somewhat like personal or mix in nature, of course, that is longer, with additional 'hi' 'hello' 'I miss you' but when just common lotters, I say directly where my brain is up to.

hello Letran, I am not aware of this strategy,for starting topics or responses to topics. What i love is my number i mean it,i like to response and see my number going up Generally,once i open mylot,i check on my email and see comment back from my previous response and posts comments again once i feel to do so. Then,check on my friend's started discussion before scanning new topics. I don't give long responses either,so seldom i do write long responses. But,i always respond to topics that i cam relate with. Have a great weekend dear bro

I usually shoot for 25 posts a day, they've tended to be shorter lately, because I can't think of something long and wordy to say, so I just write what I think I need to say. I do try to avoid one word answers though, and write in complete sentences.

Hello ReviewMedia, well, this post of yours is very much detailed i believed. some mylot users do one line word sentences. some write in complete sentences. it completely depends on the lotter actually. so, i guess we just have to focus more on what we say instead of number of lines.

I has most strategy but all failed. at first I want post short but more comment but mylot is need more than four lines comment. I find most of time I don't have any income above. so i change my strategy. make more and more words no matter its useful or not. but the result is just little better than before. now I very difficult to make high quality comments. so I change a new way. may article from here. there are alot of discussion and special comments. so I use it to make article that is very great way for me.

Hello Johney, The question is that, with the more than four lines of comments, will be it the same good quality and not just quantity? am sorry but i won't entertain comment that are not useful. keep practicing, i think writing it well, is a whole a lot better than making a novel post. just my opinion here.

hi letran yes I think we all do try to do our best here at mylot. Sometimes I stop and reword what I say in my response just to make it a little more intelligent. I try to get in between short and sweet and oh my much too long. I sometimes get tired reading fifteen paragraphs but yet sometimes the information is really valuable too. but I sure never minus anyone because I do not agree with them, Thats what a discussion is for, to trade viewpoints and thoughts in a pleasant, courteous way. I guess my strategy is working but I am just always three or four days behind as my computer was out of order for that long a period of time

Hello Hatley, Wow, reallythey really wouldn't notice since they already know you as one of the oldest active indeed intelligent woman in mylot. it's better if we just report and not rate them negatively. sometimes it's part of life where we could always be positive in every way possible. we couldn't give up.

Knight, I don't have a strategy, I just sail along on my own sweet precious time. I have more time these days because my two girls had grown up, can clean their own rooms, and can even fry milkfish without screaming... Result, the mother had become even more indolent, ha ha! I do treat you like one of the kids I talk to, and I see that you have improved a lot, not just in organizing your thoughts, assessing your beliefs and principles, and even in writing. But you have to learn to use capital letters. That is a must in writing. This is an unsolicited advice again but I know there is much potential in you.

Hello Eileen, I just wanna let you know that "I AM SO ADDICTED TO MILK FISH". Because it's the only fish that i have come to like eating compare to other fish that are boneless. That's odd i haven't really been cleaning my room often because i was focus on other house choirs, id plan for it someday. Well, It was never intention for me to be a writer. Because, if it is, then I would be in writings site or the blog earning them big time. Unfortunately, i think i don't exactly fit to be a Perfect Writer.But Eileen, I have Learned a Lot in here. Have a Great Day....

Hi sweetie. You know me. I get straight to the point. I don't need a book to answer or discuss. We all are pressed for time some days. Make your point and move on. Leave that freaking rating button alone. TATA.

Hello Saphrina, Yes, you have always been like that hehehe. i wouldn't even bother too look on wikipedia just to make some answers. everything is just from my head i believe.yeah, i don't rate that much except i rate the discussion positive. if the discussion is violently provoking users, then i report it. otherwise, i just ignore it if it's indifferent.

If I am so enthusiastic with my topic then oftentimes it really tend to have too long post. At times I would realize it when I already submitted it. Most likely my post that are long was all about my reviews of each episode in Magkaribal. I just realized while ago when posting about the characters that it was already detailed as the other poster even told me that. I must admit that there are times my post are being redundant already. But now I am aware of that.

Hello Metatronik, Well, It is you're Idea after all and it's actually fun for me when ever i read to many paragraphs in one post. well, i do sense you really like the telenovela of these actresses. i think you make discussions almost in every single episodes, unfortunately, they're not cup of my tea

SO this is my first time, I'm still trying to figure out my style. I thing short and sweet is great but sometimes you get a lot thoughts which you just have to type.

Hello Cecil, Welcome to my-lot.it depends on the discussion that you are making. most of the time what i do is respond to a topic with exaggeration. but i would do the "short and sweet" only if the topic doesn't require you to exaggerate and one of those process is when you start a story about something.

this is my second day here so i don't have a strategy yet...just responding to dicussions i find interesting. i still have no idea what kind of money we are talking about, but because i am unemployed i thought i would try to work here 4 or 5 hours a day and see what, if any, i can earn. in the mean time i am meeting lots of nice people so that's just a plus. but strategy ? guess short and sweet should be part of my strategy, thanks for the tip. :-)
