Do you think........?

On the whole - no! You can get lucky and have a super successful discussion with pages and pages of comments. But that is quite rare in my experience. Most discussions just get a few responses if you are lucky or none at all! I guess it depends how inventive you can be! It's hard to find good original subject matter. Commenting on others discussions carries much less risk and almost guaranteed earnings - although the whole thing could still get deleted!

No. Your earnings are calculated daily on the quality of your participation as a whole. The benefit to starting a discussion (rather than responding to other people's discussions) lies in the fact that, if you start a discussion, you, presumably, have something to discuss and will therefore be able to reply to the responses you get with good quality comments. If you don't comment on the responses you get, you won't earn a cent more.

I have been here for uears and, as you can see by the number that I carry next to my name, I have been busy too - but not with my pown topics. I rarely start any because I run out of time to keep up with the comments to those who respond. A discussion is like an offline conversation and if you start one, you should not abandon it. yo should be available for those who make the effort to respond and you should comment back, furthering the topic. That is how you will earn too. However, if you have no idea (or time) for a topic of your own, you can particpate in those started by others. Not with responses here and there willy-nilly though because that is not what myLot is about. MyLot is for discussions and that is what we earn best for. You can spend your entire day on one discussion, have a lot of fun and interesting back and forth exchanges with those participating in it, regardless of who started it, and you will not be disappointed when the earnings update the next day, I can assure you. Welcome aboard!

Talking about statistic.. A discussion has chance of getting more views, hence more chance to get positive rates (and negative rates as well though ), so it might affects your user rating more - means affects your earning as well Still it would be useless if you just create a few posts a day..

I cannot say that starting a discussion is more beneficial here or would make you a lot of earnings. It depends on the topic you created. If it is interesting to most of the mylot members, you will get a lot of responses. Having a hot topic will surely gain you earnings. If you reply to the responses that you get you will also earn from it. That is based on my experience. Mylot doesn't disclose which activities here pay us more. If you want to be sure of a daily earnings you have to create discussions and give answer also to some discussions here.

Thank you for posting this, BysenBase. I have learned something the new from the Discussion you have had with the other peoples. This is very informative. I guess it is the best if we type lots and lots of words and letters. And the best way for to do this is to have our own the Discussion. Now if only the people would respond to my Discussions!!

Starting a discussion necessarily demand grasp and knowledge on the concerned topic. The discussion is supposed to evoke as much responses as possible. On the other hand responding to a discussion arouses keen attention and interest on a specific topic.

Starting a discussion and answering others', Each has its own benefits and drawbacks. While responding to others, you will have to keep searching for proper topics to comment on and even if you do, there is a possibility of the topic itself getting deleted for violating the rules. If you start your own, it's easy to keep up with it, and the more responses you get, the more opportunity for you to reply and earn. Also, you have scope of taking the discussion long if there are regular responders. But, it depends on the topic and how it interests others. If it doesn't interest many, you get fewer responses and hence you can't prolong the discussion. Starting our own discussion is a very tricky thing to do. Either you must have a good REAL topic about yourself, or something which is liked by all commonly.

I honestly more often or not these days prefer responding to discussions, only starting one when I feel like I have a good idea. Of course, the lesson that I learned a couple of times, is what I feel might be a good idea, is not exactly the best idea that translates to all that many responses all of the time. It is a matter of timing if anything. Of course, start a discussion, reply to all of the replies, and perhaps you might find yourself with more replies. Or perhaps not. You just never know what is going to happen on this website. There have been some discussions that I have thrown out on a whim that have gotten a great deal of responses and some that have I have put a great deal of thought in, not as many responses.

I think all works the same way but you might earn more if a discussion that you started get alot of responses and you respond back to all of them. It also depends on the quality of your discussions/responses.

Well personally I don;t know what pays more, but I don't even care! See yeah I like the fact that they pay for participation, but I am also here to have fun. So for me I like starting conversations and answering them. I hope that helps. Just try both its addictive:)

I would guess that doing a combination of both is a good idea. But I am pretty sure that they calculate you're participation as a whole over a certain amount of time.
