So how do you MyLot?

Yes I like a bit of everything. I try to make my discussions interesting but some days I can't think of a thing to write.

@LadyDuck I never write about what I had to eat and I never say good morning/goodnight. I don't mind talking about food occasionally like we do sometimes.

@sprite1950 No matter what can be interesting, I think that it is important not to write every day the same things (what I had for breakfast, good night... and so on).

Do you have regular people you talk to every day?

@Butterfingers I like that. You gt to know about them.

@sprite1950 yes there are few who I see daily

I tend to do the same things every day in the same order. I attend to my notifications first but I don't always post a discussion as sometimes my mind is blank. I mostly talk to the same people but like you I talk to new people too. The one thing I love about MyLot is you can never run out of things to do.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I talk to quite a few nationalities, a lot of Americans, some Filipinos, not so many Indians but I don't mind who they are. I like to talk to people from the UK too. One of them lives quite close to me.

@sprite1950 A lot of my discussions lately have revolved around things I have dreamed or things I have read. I used to do a lot of history type discussions, but I don't do those so much anymore. I've been talking to a lot of people from India and the Phillippines lately.

I'm glad to hear it! I love to chat with you and know you will always take the time to respond to what I write.

@sprite1950 Of course I will always respond to what you write! That's what friends are for!

@moffittjc That's great, I genuinely love talking to American people. It's easy because we speak the same language (more or less) but there are enough differences in the way we live to make it interesting.

Do you have regular people that you talk with every day or just different friends each day?

@sprite1950 most of them are the regular ones. And any new is always welcomed

@amitkokiladitya Yes that's a good way to look at it.

@sprite1950 I am only loyal to Mylot and I agree with you I felt comfortable posting in here too.

@rsa101 I used to write on a lot more sites but that meant I couldn't keep up with my notifications here so I only post on one other writing site which doesn't take long and I have more time to spend here.

This is the only site that I have ever felt confident enough to post discussions. I rarely have on other sites but I do a bit of both here.

@sprite1950 I agree. And I also don't mean to shame any non-native speakers (I'm a non-native speaker myself), but sometimes the writing just feels sloppy and lazy. I also find it difficult to come up with appealing subjects sometimes. That's why I only start a discussion when I think it can contribute something. I don't start a discussion just to start one (or at least now I don't, I'm not sure, but I might be guilty to doing this in the past).

@maclanis Yes I have been guilty of doing that too when I was hoping to make new friends. I think as long as it is well written it doesn't matter too much what it is as anything seems to go here. I can see you're from Belgium and your English is excellent. Is it taught in your schools from a young age?

Absolutely. I am British so there is no excuse for my English to be poor but sometimes it is hard to find something that will appeal to many people because we are all different in what we like to read. I prefer medium length discussions, perhaps a couple of paragraphs.

I don't write very long discussions because I know people won't read them. There is a lady here who writes a book every time she replies. I usually leave her posts until last as I would never get anything else done!

@Lushlala I think she would probably like that. I do think about what I write back but I never make my posts as long as hers.

@sprite1950 Yes, same here. I'm just so busy, I couldn't sit there reading one post LOL Plus if I did, I'd probably want to do the courteous thing and post an equally as long response.

I'm not sure if I've ever been blocked. How can you tell?

@sprite1950 the respond and comment buttons don't appear.

@AkoPinay Ah I don't think I've ever been blocked then although there is someone here I never got on with on another site.

Yes I like to sort through Recent discussions to see if there is anything new to talk about. I'm getting quite a few notifications now.

@Hannihar Yes because it means I am earning well but I don't like to get overwhelmed which has happened in the past.

@sprite1950 Are you glad you are getting quite a few notifications?

Do you find it makes a difference to your earnings?

@Shivram59 That's good. I've been trying to do a mixture of regular and new people and that works for me.

@sprite1950 Yes, I see a big difference.I'm nearing the payout.

I have some people I chat to regularly and get a lot of notifications from them through our discussions but I am always on the lookout for others who like to chat.

@kepweng Yes I have been earning well recently.

@kepweng That would be a good project. You should try it.

Yes I mix things up a bit although I always attend to my notifications first. I also have people I love interacting with and I often think I would get on with them in real life too. When I write a discussion I try to make it a couple of paragraphs .. I saw one yesterday that was just one sentence! I actually don't think that many people read much beyond the title or perhaps if there is a question at the end they might just answer that but hey ho if they reply then they are doing me a favour

@porwest You're absolutely right of course, The important thing is that they have bothered to look at my posts at all and if I'm lucky enough for them to leave a comment then that's a positive. I've got to admit that if a post is very long I will skim it rather than read it properly so that I can get the gist of what a person is talking about and then pick out a point that I can reply to.

@sprite1950 I like the shorter posts personally. Just me. Not that I have a short attention span. Just easier to read and comment on. The ones that go all over the place describing their entire day sometimes drive me nuts. Just too much going on there and it's hard to figure out what interests me enough to comment on. As for people who don't actually read the post, some people around here get really bent out of shape about that. It CAN be annoying. Don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day I like to believe I am witty enough to still play along with those folks a bit and get my pennies...so does it really matter when all is said and done? If nothing else, I know I am not paid for someone to read my post. But I am paid for someone to like it or comment on it. So isn't that win, win? EVEN if they did not read the post? Besides, we all have different interests but we still want to interact. It's what we are here for. I don't expect that everyone is going to be going to my posts with great anticipation no matter what I talk about. The fact that they show up at all is good enough for me.

I would love that. You can never have too many friends

That's a good way to think. It can be overwhelming to see notifications piling up.

Yes I do that too. Sometimes I have so many notifications that I don't have time to do anything else.

Yes I am always attracted by the titles.

I always deal with my notifications first and then maybe do a discussion or look for those of others that I am interested in.

@sprite1950 that is how I do it, too.

Yes I think that's a good way to earn.

@sprite1950 thank you
