There are some days when I cannot think of 5 posts to start. Well, I could, but I mean 5 posts that I think people will actually want to respond to. I see people posting junk all the time that no one ever responds to. I would rather not post than post things just for the sake of posting. It does not help you if you are posting things that no one replies to.

All it takes is what person to reply. I always get replys anyway. yYou half to be creative when postig, think about what happen doing the day, read newspapers, talk about what you read, it doesn't half to be word per word. talk about something that everyone is concerned with. Who to say your post is junk this is a talk forum, Ok, try it!

The idea of just making five posts is good but it depends on how long your post is. But a long post is not necessary a good one. It also depends on the quality of the post. There are people that make their posts long through spamming, which is a horrible thing. You are not only risking being banned by mylot, you are also losing money. Some discussion starters will delete spams, thus reducing the earnings of the spammer. I know because my response was deleted by another mylot user because it was offensive to him. I can't blame him for that. I got frustrated after reading his discussion so I let out my feelings there and my post was deleted. So beware.
Some mylot users might report discussions as being inappropriate or violating mylot's terms. This will get the whole post deleted and every poster lose earnings from that.

I rarely post in mylot due to the high workload I am given recently. I will respond to discussions ocassionally and from what I found, Long informative and interesting posts get paid more. When I am in a good mood, my posts are good and I get a few responses to my response to another person's discussion. And at the end of the day, I receive a slightly higher pay than usual. You can say that I am earning off from other people's discussions.
My tip to you is to make responses that are usefull, that way your responses will be commented by other members too in addition to just the discussion. I get praised for some of my responses and it is usually those that help me earn more for that day.

*laughs* You must have more time than I do. I find I'm getting behind at reading and commenting if I start even two posts in a day! I can't imagine keeping up with five... every single day at that!
I'll have to try it someday and see if I do manage to keep up!

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd enjoy not answering all the posts. I suppose I could do it as an experiment, but my friends are used to me actually commenting and discussing things back and forth with them, so I think they'd be disappointed.
I'm glad your way works for you, but I guess I'll have to stick to mine! :P

That sounds like a good idea, but I have some topics that have zero responses, I would not mind someone answering them and others that I have responses to, but they did not exactly answer my question. I have managed to do three a day so far. I want to do enough so that I can make $1.00 a day or more, but I cannot think of that many ideas.

Read what i told #3 I think it was three, be creative, talk about what has happen during the day, maybe a conversation you had, I just use my head and what ever come out. read the newpaper, or a magazine, talk about what you read. talk about what has happen in your life, ask questions.

Do you find that you get more for starting the discussion, than just joinin in someone else discussion.
Also, should you also rely to comments left by othr users on your own discussion.
Any tips are always helpful.

I think if you just rate everyone that is enough, mylot said that sometime ago, but out of respect for friend I always resond to them when they come to my post. I would say answer others and post 5, It works for me, I wasn'tr even on Mylot much yesterday, I think I made made some extra money by posting 5 topics. Welcome to mylot. Always answer post you make more,and do 5 topics. tryit and see what happens come back and tell me tommorow.

it takes quite a bit of imagination to post 5 new topics a day, I found that posting three always worked for me.

Ok, It is nice to hear from you. someone made a discussion about you, I went to it and no one had responded to it. they mention you name, I didn't think it was right. No one answer it though. Because they know they will get deleted.

Hmmm, I don't always post a topic, but I do a whole lot of answering too, giving boosts to others. I do drawings too. They are uploaded as 'photos' and as they are originals they catch attention to what I write....

I don't know how to upload I have never done that, they say it is time consuming but if you know what you are doing. I suppose it is ok.

It depends on the size and quality of the image you are uploading plus the speed of your internet connection. It also helps not to have anything else going on with your line. It really draws attention to what your doing, especially if you have a loud splash of color on a white background....

You can do it you half to be creative. talk about what happen doing the week, read magazines talk about what you read. maybe a conversation you had with someone, I talk about things that happen, I might have something on my mind, I come here to get advice, i come here to vent. just several things you can say. I was just giving you ideas.

Yes I've done that experiment as well. And I know people will say they can't think of 5 good topics, but if that's the case just respond to 2 topics for every discussion you couldn't think of. However the key is to find something that you have a huge interest in that you could talk forever about (figuratively speaking). Another thing to do when stumped for discussion ideas is upload pictures, at least 3. I think some people forget about the picture posting. There are so many ways to boost your earnings, you just have to dig in or ask a friend or fellow mylotter. If you take a glance at some of my discussions you will see and be surprised who responds to what topics. Ok, that's all I have to say because my fingers are cramping due to typing all of this on my blackberry.

Ok I tried it and even though some of my 5 post were not repsonded to I still made .13 cents. The other day I replied to 10+ post and only made .08 cents. Marcia has a great idea here and it really does work. I would also recommend that you look in the "discussions with no responses" section. See what kind of discussion are there. Alot of times they are from newbies that just need a little encouragement to get going. Let us who have been around a while go encourage them.

i agree with you dear marciasoft. it seem we would have better earning in we posting not too many topic discussion. so far i did not figure out how many topic discusssion should be posting everyday but for me, i also having little bit disturbance if i get notification so many topic discussion which made by one friend. i tend to response to the friends who only giving posting of topic discussion in not many thread. although the topic discussion has different topic and content to discussion still i would prefer to give some reponse (not all of the topic discussion) to the person and find another person who posting their topic discussion. sorry to tell this (there is no intention to offense anyone in here), but in my opinion if you posting so many topic discussion it seem that you're not too serious to make it. its seem that you only go after many responses came to your topic discussion. either my self, when i look back to my early time in here, i just feel little stupid to read my own topic discussion caused in that time i made so many topic discussion which i think at now, it was not worth enough to discuss further

I used to have a goal to do 5 start discussions and 20 replies because that is how many I think a person needs to do to reach payout each month. I was able to do that for the first month or so but now I am running out of subjects to start a discussion with. So today I walked around my house and found topics to write about. I did 12 start discussions today, to make up for some days I didn't do any. We will see how this may have increased my earnings.

well, I had the best day ever yesterday in mylot. I did 12 start discussions and 94 responses and I made $1.88. I am so happy with that. I need to do the same today to be able to reach my payout for this month. So far I have started 8 discussions and I have responded to 46 responses. I have a ways to go yet if I want to do what I did yesterday.
