friends

Welcome to myLot! Adding friends will not earn here. But adding friends will allow some to respond to your discussions and you to theirs. Remember when they respond they earn. You will only earn if you comment back to the responses with quality content. I would suggest you take your time as you would want to assure you and friends have the same interests. I often say to new members that if you add a lot of friends and they do not have the same interests they will perhaps not be able to respond to your topics and you will feel ignored. Therefore, it would be best to interact a bit and this way you can see how some members and you have similar interests. Good luck and welcome aboard!

As both previous responders have stated, adding friends in and of itself does not affect our earnings at all. It does give us the opportunity to increase our earnings by helping us to find discussions that we would be interesting in participating in, and it allows others with similar interests to be able to find our discussions more quickly. We do not earn for responses that we get to our discussions, but each response gives us the opportunity to interact by commenting and counter-commenting with all the responders on our discussion. This interaction furthers the topic, and this gives everybody that participates the opportunity to increase their earnings. Basically, it is not necessary to be "friends" with someone to participate in his or her discussion or have him or her respond on your discussion. When someone is on your friends list, however, you can choose to receive notifiers when he or she starts a discussion, which will allow you to find those discussions quicker, especially if you like the person's writing style and tend to be able to add to his or her discussions.
