starting dumb discussions won't earn you money

Well, don't start too many discussions. Start a few that interest you and take part in them. Take part in discussions started by others. Respond to comments with a few sentences. Just a 'thank you' for each replies won't count. Try it for a day and see the results yourself.

when you start a dissussion, try to think of something that will spark interest and encourage others to participate in. it could be current issue or hot item in the news. obviously nonsense will get you nonsense as well - you know what they say - "garbage in, garbage out" or you reap what you sow...etc. when you are writing out a comment, you will see on the left side of the comments box, it says "Please be as descriptive as possible". That's exactly it. One word answers obviously do not encourage other comments or discussions which is the whole point of having a forum.

as far as my self is concerned i use to give descriptive discussion . i will not simply count the quantities i do , i count the quanlity of my discussions. and further thanks for giving tips to other users regarding boosting up and adding more earnings to their lot.

I think accurately as it, therefore small discusões very are not valued here. I believe that best it is to answer well to try to explain its thoughts.

I think myLot algorithm automatically rejects discussions with most replies which are less than a sentence. That means the discussions started was not a good one. So even if you get 100 one word replies to a discussion which starts with "do you like x or y" for example won't count pay you.

i totally agree with you as well, i was also thinking the same. The answers should be good and brief, it's not necessary that they should be long enough.

well, if it is just a one word reply, then be sure someone else would definitely reply to it and won't get paid. why would you want to waste your time in such discussions! participate in discussions where you can contribute more than a sentence. such discussions are not hard to come by.

It's not exactly hard to elaborate on an answer, even if you normally think that it would require just a short answer. Try it - put some effort into it. You'd be surprised how easy it is. Sometimes, the explanation of the answer can even add more to the discussion than you originally thought it would.

I see. But I think that the earning increases in case the discussion is lively and on serious topic and if the original poster takes part in it.

Hi, thanks! I posted only on 2 or 3 discussions the first day and I earned 0.1 but for about 60 dumb discussions I got only 0.50. LOL

yes that is true. Not necessarily 75 words, but the intent should be to discuss something seriously. Also duplicate discussions aren't entertained.

Same here after only 4 days I find I am getting so irritated at nonsense. I had a person respond with a whole line of xxxx etc. with a couple of letters thrown in. What was the point of that...does the person think they will get paid for it...Good Lord I hope not. I find because of all the junk it makes it difficult to find real discussions to respond to and wastes my time looking at dumb responses that make no sense. I rate them with a - I don't know if it helps but I figure that's why it's there.

thanks for your learning curve. i hope this will help many new users to improve their efficiency. One more point i feel to be important is the discussion should strict to the topic. un wanted matters will unnecessarily confuse the creator and ends in no meaning

Fewer people will answer for serious discussions but you will get paid more.

Exactly, you got it. It is the quality, not quantity that matters.

Just rate them - if you don't like a discussion or its response. That would help all of us who want serious discussions to earn money.

I believe it is a combination of both.

yeah, so do the guys whom work behind the scenes at myLot read all your posts and decide if the pay up for the post? or is automatic?

yes that is true. We should earn money by taking part in quality discussion. Let them waste time in stupid questions and answer session which doesn't earn them anything.

I think they both pay equally if what you write has serious content and not just one sentence of gibberish. What do you think?

yes, I think participating in dumb discussions isn't going to pay you either as myLot removes those discussions and so your responses to them also go out. Only if you have responded with some serious input then your posts still earn you even if the dumb discussions are thrown out.
