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..

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...

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?

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.

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.
