I have been in mylot for two hours, since 6 am this morning. It is now after 8 am and I have been really busy reading. I haven't been posting very much, just 7 posts. I noticed I do this a lot, just read and read and not post anything myself. I can't make any money that way. I just get so engrossed in reading what other members have to say that I don't post very much. Have you done the same? Have you realized you have been reading for two hours or more, and not be active and post anything of your own? I need to start posting and make some money.

Hi chrislotz, it's 10.45pm here and I've been in my lot for about 1 and the half hours. So far, I've only replied to the discussions I've started yesterday and have made 5 posts. I have also been doing a lot of reading. I usually read more than I write.

Did not do much today. Started answering posts, and then I went to church. I got home from church and then we went to our older son's for the combination granddaughter's birthday and father's day. Then we went home, watch television, did a bit of myLotting, and had soup because we had been snacking all day. So I did not get anything much done. I have not done any posting as I am waiting for some of my unanswered posts to get more than one or two responses.

Yeah, I am right there with you! I got up before 7am this morning and it is now 3:45pm and all I have to show for it is 3 responses! I have been off and online... but mostly on all day. Go figure. I have been dinking around, reading, starting posts then erasing them. You name it...I have doing it. I guess there will be days like this and at least I am not alone!

i do that sometimes too... i got so engrossed in reading and not posting or replying at all... that usually happens when i feel tired and not in the mood to type... but i still enjoy it though... i learn new things by reading... mylot is not only about earning money but also friendship and learning new knowledge from others for me... take care and have a nice day...

I have days where I read a lot on myLot. I enjoy reading all the discussions and what everyone is thinking. Takes me away from my own little world for awhile.
Then some days I feel quite chatty and will respond more than anything. It's nice to have the choice.

I do that too chris. I'll post and then go back and read thru the comments if a discussion is really interesting. Some discussions have so many responses that it really can take up quite a bit of time. I enjoy seeing what others have to say so even tho, I don't make as much money, its all good.

I don’t always have the chance to get online. Like yesterday, I was offline for the whole day because my boss gave me a lot of tasks to do and another programmer was ill and couldn’t come to work. I had to do my own task and also to help the boss rush that programmer’s untouched tasks.
So usually when I get back to myLot, I would check my friends’ discussions first from my email notification in inbox, and sort all discussions I could respond to. Sometimes when I didn’t know what to respond, I would also have to check the others’ discussions directly from myLot’s left panel links. When I couldn’t even find any to respond, I would remain only reading for hours and responded nothing. :P

I do the same thing. I find that a topic looks interesting so I go into it and read all about it and then realise that I don't know what to say. If I don't know what to say, I don't say anything and I move onto the next conversation. This can repeat a few times but that unfortunately doesn't end in lots of myLot generated currency for me. But discussion groups also need people that just read... I can't think what for but I'm sure that they do.

Yes, that is what I mean by I read a lot more than I post. It can be hard sometimes to think of something to add to the discussion. Then I am rading so much I don't respond too much and it is reflected in my earnings.

Yes.
:P
Sorry, just wanted to post an example of what some other people stick when they don't know what to say. Other options are "I totally agree with everything that Pirate_Arg has just said," and "So... how's life?"

It seems there are so many interesting discussions and you just keep on reading what people are saying about it. I'm doing my best making posts. I've just joined so I think I'm a far way from getting paid but I'm working on it. There are so many interesting discussions in MyLot. Some of them I just have to read everybody's response!
