I am not new as mylotter, about half year. Usually i prefer to respond to people discussions. I seldom create discussion. I think the reason is because i worry my discussions are not getting responses from people. Everytime when i see my discussions are 0 responses, i feel bad and i will think, is it because of my discussions are nonsense, that why nobody want to respond. How do you feel when your discussion are getting 0 respond? What will you do to improve?

There you go, you are getting some responses with this one I create discussions when I think of something to talk about my daily life, I usually receive some responses but not like a very hit one. I feel little disappointed more than anything when I see 0 responses in an hour. But what can I do with it? Just move on and start another one when I think of something interseting.

Sometimes I feel sad when no one respond to my topic, and then ignore it maybe it doesn't interest them or they are busy.

I will do the same. Ignore it. I will not think they are busy but i will think my topic can't attract people. Its reduce my confidence level to create a topic. That why i prefer to response to topic create by others.

Dont be worried about o respond. If nobody response youre new discussion, that is mean your discussion is not interesting for others. You should select hot topics that can catch eyes of others. Besides, you should add tags about your new discussion.

Hi Cinguo, thats my problem. I don't really know how to put a tag on our discussions. Because some of the topics are quite confusing and sometimes i really don't know which catogary i should tag.

Ah don't feel bad about that, me too have some discussion that has no response, but it doesn't disappoint me at all. I just think of the earnings my post gets. So, go on, the more post the better, 'coz it means more earnings.

You are great and i should learn from you to not look at this as a big issue. Well, i do agree that the more discussions we create, the more chances we will get responses. Cheers Ihenpaule.

First of all, I'll read my discussion again and see if it's understandable. Sometimes I post discussions that has wrong grammar or twisted storylines and it's barely understandable at all. Second, I take a quick look and see if it's too long. Some myLotters hate too long discussions maybe because they're pursuing some kind of a quota for the day. A lot of myLotters here participate like they're working so you better consider that. Make your discussion too long and only a few will respond to it. At least, that's how my experience went.

I do have some discussions that gets no response. But some of them, after a month or two would get a response though. I answer all responses as we should do. I don't feel bad that some of my discussions gets no response. I understand that people have different preferences, so not all my discussions will get the same number of responses. But a lot of my discussions would get more than 10 responses and other do get at least 18! I guess, i am already improving. I get to gauge what are the most topics that interests mylotters, by answering those discussions that interests me too. You can do that too.

Hi cmang83, I haven't started any new discussion for quite a long time for I don't have considerable time to take care of it. I enjoy sharing what I know and have experienced in topics which interest me. When I was new here I made great efforts to respond to as many discussions as I could written by different creators. Of course they are within my ability to cope with. hoping that the writers would respond my discussions, especially those with zero responses or discussion with lesser responses in return. I was in great pleasure then when seeing users with big posting number were more than willing to drop in my discussions I believe your discussion would engage more responses after you have participating in more discussions from different writers. Good luck and happy posting

People will respond to things that interest them or catch their eye. Doesn't make your discussions boring it is just that you havens found the right audience yet or they haven't found you.

Hi mssnow. I think you are right. I just discuss with my friend about the same topic. And we agree that the more topic we create, we will get more responses. Its just probability. Thanks for your respond.

It is just one of those things that tend to happen. There are just some topics that get lost of the shuffle really easily. And if they would have come up at another time, there would be more responses. I really do see it as a learning experience. There are a lot of times where I think a topic is going to do good but it is not going to get as many responses. Funnily enough, I put some topics up on a whim, just when I want to post a certain number of topics as well. And they tend to get a fair deal of responses. Not that I am complaining mind you. Still it is really something that is more trial and error. There is really no magic formula for getting a lot of responses. I just shrug and move on when there are not a lot of responses or in those rare occasions, no responses at all.

I guess it's no big deal to me if nobody response to my discussions. It just wasn't of any interest to them at that time or maybe it was a similar discussion that they have already responded before. I too prefer to respond to people's discussions than to start my own.

Sometimes people will have O responses to their discussions, that doesn't mean you have to feel bad. The best advice I can give you is that you start discussions on interesting topics, ask questions on issues or situations that are mostly discussed on a everyday life.

You need to put something that catches the others attention, don't put whatever in them.
