For me its much more easier to respond to a post especially if I find it engaging. But I do make sure I make atleast 3 discussions a day just to play it fair for the others :) I writer better if Im giving out my opinion rather than asking for other's I dunno why its just the way Im built I guess hahah

same here... its much easier to respond than to post a quality discussion.. you are just answering a question based on your experience so its much easier..

At the moment I have just answered or responded to discussions. I plan to start them too once I have built a steady reputation. I am also new to mylot so I am still finding my feet.

Good for you Andy0469 testing the waters before you jump in, I would suggest that you try my practice of answering the comments that people say on my discussions, in this way you earn more through participation :) Good luck and thanks for your response...

For me it`s easier to reply. I can reply to many discussions, but to post just one or two mine.

There are times when I cant reply to others because I didnt like their discussions but most of them I do browse. I dont know I like the challenge of bringing out the best answer possible. thanks for the reply magica :)

If you will ask me, i prefer replying to a post is alot more easier because you don't have to think of an interesting post.

I can reply to 20 or 30 a day but that is given that Im not busy usually on a weekend. But yeah it is a bit monotonous if you just do it for the money but if you enjoy what you are doing you dont really realize that you have already typed that much in a day. That is what I am trying to teach others new here that if your going to reply and make money out of it better that you enjoy it right? Just like work :)

Wow, thanks, what is important for me is that when I respond I do so with honesty and with my heart's message. I never reply without thinking about if first and posting for the heck of it. I believe its respect to atleast grace the discussion with an equally nice response, even just a three sentence reply is good enought :)

Of course replying to a discussion is a lot easier. I myself not in to starting my own discussions so much. I only start one when I feel like there's something I wanna talk about and specially when I need help from people. I really admire those who could always come up with something interesting.

I have a hard time coming up with discussions of my own and dread seeing it die down in the queue, practically faster than you can say mylot, so it's rare for me. I guess I prefer responding, since I love giving advice or having a good read whenever I'm lucky enough. I don't even think I could think up 3 discussions in one day, much less everyday lol. Good for you :)

Why thank you :) It just takes practice, I usually post here the questions I ask my korean students when I have lessons that my cheat for making discussions, but for this case I came up with it out of the blue. but if you think of it you earn more by reply to discussions right?

I like to replying rather than open a discussion. I open discussion and now I dont have any much more topic to open. Hope I can reply more and help people. ;)

You are a very helpful person then, so what discussions do you like to reply to? What are you interests especially in discussion or what are your expertise?

It will probably depend on how I feel and think for that day. There are times when I think of something to post but mostly I respond to other member's posts. It's much easy to do specially if I can relate with it or if I have something to share with. I love to share things that happened in my life. The lessons I've learned and the mistakes I have been through.

At the beginning when I was a new member of Mylot, I liked to post a discussion. Later I found I was unable to think out more good topics, so I tend to answer other's discussions. Now it's easier for me to response than start a new discussion.

same here I was so enthusiatic on posting new topics but I feel like a fool when no one answers them haha. Now I follow up with responses and I earn a decent buck out of it a day :)

You know i response a lot than posting. Its easier for me to answer the discussion especially i like it. I sometimes post 13 discussions a day sometimes and maybe answer 1-20 discussions a day sometimes. So i want to response and not posting much but itry to post discussions in here.
