A few days back I was desperately looking for a good idea about which to start a discussion,but my mind was completely blank.
Yesterday I received a comment from @mathews ,one of my friends on mylot.He wrote,"Keep initiating interaction."
I don't know what he meant by "initiating interaction", yet his words made a good idea flash across my mind.
We initiate discussions.But now I know we can initiate interactions as well.Let me tell you how.
When you read a discussion and respond to it,you initiate interaction with the initiator of the discussion.Don't stop there,comment back on other responses to the same discussion.This way you can initiate interaction with other people also.And most of those other people may,in turn,comment back on your comments.
I think it would be a good strategy to boost our earnings on mylot.
Am I right?

You really have no idea what makes a topic which will get a great discussion going. I have tried posting interesting subject matter, things I am sure will get a good response...and they don't. But say the cat ate your sausage and the tread goes on for weeks! So don't try and predict, just be normal and natural, speak hereas youwould in any conversation and interactions and connections will happen....just not as you may think!

Yes you are right. Start enjoying this place. Don't make strategy.

sometimes I know I need to work harder at those responses, add info, type more than a short sentence, that sort of thing

@Jessicalynnt I would like to say we need to work for longer period.Now I mylot for 1 to 2 hours.If I decide to comment back to other responses to a discussion,I'd have to mylot for perhaps 2.3o hours.

@Jessicalynnt But what if you comment with only a single word,such as 'yes','no','agree'etc?Would the receiver earn then?

Deviation in conversation is natural progression of communication....try saying that when you are drunk!

Commenting on comments keeps the discussion going that's for sure

@Marilynda1225 Exactly.And it helps both the initiator and the respondent earn more.

great idea, that way it becomes a discussion of group of people instead of one -one discussions.
Helpful tip, only thing is it may break the flow of discussions between two people when third user interferes.

@vijay_2016,You're right.Interaction between the initiator of a discussion and the respondent often gets deviated.Another problem is that it takes time.

@vijay_2016 Great!! Thanks for explaining the point so beautifully.Here A may comment back to each of the three users_B,C and D.And if A does comment back to them,they would receive the benefit.
