Some get excellent responses whereas others don't why?

No,not at all! First you are very intelligent and i find all your posts and responses very very good... So,nope you don't guess... If you don't mind(because i am newbie) let me teach you something...will you? First i think a reason is your avatar...Trust me i don't like at all to post for someone without minimal interes here to make a simply avatar...and the fact you are my friend and i reply to your post and i enjoy your replies is because you are a good friend and your responses have value....but...pleole want to talk with someone not with a blank,ghost avatar... ...and i will add that you still have to less friends...the number of friends is important too... ...all those i know from begining from friends which teach me... augusta

the trick is to post a discussion that anyone can answer, so you have more of a chance of people outside your interest group to answer, also go into a big interest group like people or life. I always use people. post something simple gives people something to think about. For example, something about love, everyone can relate to that.

try to post something new , because i found too many similar discussion ,sure i will respond to one only and leave the other , and post because caring not to make a new discussion , and as a friend say : post from your heart . and by the way your English is good and normal :)

I think your English is fine! Most of my discussions are 10 or less. The most one of my discussions has is 24. I only have 46 friends. I don't worry about the number of responses to my discussions. It might have to do with the time that your discussions appear in mylot.

I too had the same experience in myLot. I have my unresolved discussion still. Most of my discussions were less responded and are below 10. Only one crossed the 50 mark and now my recent one is nearing 50. I concentrate mostly on my thoughts and the way I post them. I think the style of language is not a criteria. But the quality of your post and its relevance to the topic matters. Instead of saying some blah blah it would be better to concentrate of the subject and go deep into it. Friendship is good but there too you have to find good friends who seriously respond to your posts and rate them positively. Happy postings friend.

I guess it probably got something to do with the content. I think it should be straight forward,the language you use is easy to understand and a discussion where one do not have to think a lot. This is only my opinion, I might be wrong. Good luck

Use a hypnotic title and a discussion content on exactly what you want to know.Do not beat rounf the bush.TELL WHAT YOU WANT FROM HEART.This can bring more responses.

I think it is a hit or miss kind of thing. Some discussion trigger more interest than others for all kinds of reasons. I don't think there is anything wrong with your postings. You might have 100 friends, but how many are really active? Sometimes you might post a topic that is interesting, but only to a select few. Keep trying to create good discussions. Eventually you will hit on a few really good topics that will get a great number of responses.

what is important is for a discussion to pick up only 2 to 5 responses. beyond that is something which must not worry you anymore. you are good with the english language already. it may be that most of your discussions did not attact the attention of most mylotians. there's nothing to worry about there. just message at least two friends if you get discussions without responses after a day of posting. once you get those 2 responses, worry no more, okey? just move on and keep on mylotting. besides, it is important that we post a lot of responses and few discussions will do. so do more and more responses and you will be earning all the more points and money.

I think you don't realize we all have the same problem. I have some discussions that have no response. I don't think there is any thing wrong with your postings.

I am glad I came across this discussion. It has helped me feel better. I have tried lots of different things in posting my discussions and still don't have very many replies. I think probably most of mine have no reply at all (boo! hoo!). I cannot change the time I post as I can only be on here certain times of the day. Also, I do not have any referrals that are participating and have been waiting before expanding my friends list too much. I have been replying to different people's discussions which seems to have worked a bit better as they have looked at and replied to mine too. I try not to get to worked up about it and just enjoy myself and answer topics that interest me or I feel I can help the person with. However, I do get a bit disheartened when nobody replies. It is good to know that it is not just mine that this happens to. Having a discussion with lots of replies would take a long time answering and I would not be able to reply to so many myself then. Every cloud has a silver lining! A lot of the discussions that have loads of replies seem to me to be quite inane and boring. I tend to avoid them as they take too long to read. I say you are doing very well and just keep up the good work.

I think when you post a discussion, you need to think about what interests you first before worrying about how many responses you might get. There are so many deciding factors and any combination of them control the popularity of a discussion, while other factors we have no control over. Also, you might want to try posting about things that are common to everyone so that anyone can respond.

i think the reason for this responses is that,most of members are not from native-English country, they are poor in English,and don,t express a excellent sentence to display.and other reason, the people post a disscusion have many mylot friends, most of them will response his discussion whether excellent content or not.i saw the many hot topics have a poor excellent,and the same people to post and responses

Hello friend, I feel your language is quite good.But the presentation is lacking.You must attract the people in few words. As you are on Mylot for three months,You must have observed the way people make their discussion more attractive.ok.best of luck.

You have a point that when we make or post our discussions only few members respond to it. What you think may also be right but base on what i have observed for the past months, this happens because a lot of members here post the same topic thats why the number of responses are divided.

Sure, that's easy. When posting forget about how many responses you are going to get, and focus on what you want to say. Speak from the heart and the mind, and let the dynamic at myLot take care of anything else.

I try and answer friends discussions. I answer things that interest me or something I can add something to. I think content matters as far as getting people to want to respond to your posts. Sometimes a more general approach to topics is a beeter choice as it makes it easy for anyone, anywhere to understand each other.

I had the same puzzlings as you do. But now I don't care too much about because I got to know what interest you doesn't necessarily interest others. I just keep starting discussions that I feel interested in or putting forwards issues that I have in mind or even tell stories that are happening around me. If anyone becomes interested in my post and give response, it's good, otherwise, I just let it go and forget about it.
