You'll have to be very patient. Think of a well thought discussion or question. Though I guess even if it is a quality discussion one way or the other it still gets a few response as I'm still experiencing every now and then when I start a few discussion. Do what I do, just posting to discussions of interests coz' I earn more from that rather than posting my own question hehe. I guess this time your getting more responses right? Good Luck Buddy!

Many users have been facing this " few or no responses " problem . I find that you have about 10 Mylot friends . some of them should be responding to your topics . I have almost stopped starting new discussions due to this problem . I can just wish you all the best ...

You are new, it takes time my friend. Don't worry. Sometimes people still respond months later to your posts. They are never deleted. You are doing a great job, keep it up.

Could be any number of reasons. Maybe the discussions you're posting are not properly tagged? Maybe you are posting on topics that not many MyLoters want to talk about? My advice would be to keep trying!

no i dont think you get earnings on responses you get but it effect the earning because the probability of your posting getting a +rating will decrease if the no or response is less or no response.

Keep posting discussion topics. The topic you least expect to get responses will surprise you. If you post topics that have already been posted many times, remember that people have certain interests and get tired of posting to the same rehashed topics. Don't give up, eventually your imagination will create a brilliant topic.

Are you posting discussions that appeal to a wide variety of people? Are your discussions interesting and worded well? Do you post them in interest sections? I'm always amazed at how many people complain about not getting many responses. I've never had this problem, and it's not like all of my topics are these big,in depth discussions. Only some of them are. ;) Anyway, just post discussions that provide a good opportunity for actual discussion.

I noticed that many of your discussions are about money. Try to start a discussion about a more general topic. Also you have a rating of just 40, try responding to other peoples discussions as well.

Also I never got more then 12 responds, I suggest you to allways add a picture to a discussion and allways respond to people who respond to your discussion. Also rate peoples posts that you liked, and I think that this will help you. Also don't ask to hard questions, because people tend to ignore them more then discussions with simple questions.

try to post quality discussions like those of high interest to all sectors of people. Try to be more general in topics that you select. If you post repeated topics, people wont be interested in discussing that. I usually respond to discussions morethat starting a new one because that's more easy.
