i'm a newbie and i tend to respond more in other's discussions. it has nothing to do with my earning strategy, i guess it's easier for me to give my opinion on things rather than to come up with a topic that will be responded on. i guess i sucked on that at the rate i'm going (my topics does not earn much response, i guess they seem to be pretty boring :). i'm sorry i won't be of help when it comes to answering your other question. i'd like to hear though what others would say on it. :)

Rapuncille could it be that your topics remain just that - topics?
Do you go and comment on the responses and turn them into discussions?
You do know that we do not earn for the responses that others posts?

i do respond to the responses/comments, perhaps, they're just not appealing to others. my topics on the average gets 2 comments each. statistically it ain't that encouraging. i also suspect that perhaps, this slow rate may be due to the time i posted it (time difference factor). anyway, it's just for a start. sooner or later i'll get a hang of this and probably will come up with comment worthy topics. :) i will not be discouraged, not this early at least! :)

There is no 'fast' way to earn here.
There is a correct way to use myLot and those who follow it are happy with their earnings.
MyLot tell us how to increase our earnings here:

and once you realise that myLot is for discussions and not for asking questions and posting answers, you will see a difference in your earnings.

Hello kharen,
You earn for what you type, so when a discussion becomes a real discussion you earn more with your response and comments. I have generally more fun with discussions started by friends than in mines, but personally I think it is more easy to comment my own discussions than to respond to discussions started by other members, because I have already thought at my subject and I can comment faster. But it maybe different for you.

I answer others' discussions more often than posting new ones--not because I think I will earn more that way, but because I like reading other people's topics. Plus, sometimes I can't think of anything new to start a discussion about! 
I do find that reading and answering others' discussions can often help me get over temporary writers' block, so i guess in that sense it helps me earn more--here and on other sites, too.

There really is no fast way to earn in here, as if you participate in discussions, you will earn. I have started some discussions, but I do prefer to respond rather than start new discussions, as I find it hard to come up with a good topic that others will be willing to respond to. when it comes to responding, I can do that quite well, so that is why I basically do that more than anything else in here. I have found what works for me, and there might be others that prefer to start discussions instead of responding. I feel to each his own, as you do what is best for you. Take care, and happy mylotting.
