mylot Discussions - What's your suggestion?

Fortknox75, I wish I had a suggestion about how to get increased responses to your discussions. Mine, too, here at myLot seem to be, for the most part, less than stellar. I even tried to start a discussion from a couple of interesting news items. At least, I thought they were interesting, and got 0 responses! I sort of think that, once people have many posts here--a high number beside their names--people will respond to their discussions more. If I get 4 responses to my discussions, I am pleased, no kidding. Just hang in there, and keep starting discussions about your personal interests and observations. Eventually, a few of them have got to hit! Hopefully, the myLotters out there who have had really high responses to their discussions will reveal to us how they do it by responding to this discussion. PearlGrace

I like light-hearted topics than heavy topics. Discussions on daily life is easier to attract attentions, and easier to make responses. Happy mylotting.

I think my friend is new to mylot, and it takes time to for a newbies discussion to get noted. Initially it takes time to get yourself noted amongst the friends here. I strongly suggest you to make,a good friends base, just keep on responding to the senior members discussions here, the best way in this regard is select a few good persons here..say initially a twenty or so, initially, drop in their discussions leave your comment there, whether they turn up to your topic or not.. and meanwhile create new and simple discussions, send friends request of your choice..make friends circle widened. Also, once in a while please do send casual PM's to your friends enquiring about them, Make sure that you don't send any links for your programs..because sending links in pm, may cause your beautiful blossoming friend ship broken. Similarly have a habit of once in while dropping comments in the friends profile, you could add comments from Myspace, or glitter graphics.,.and many similar sites available for this.

Hi Fortnox, I have been here five months now and the first few weeks I was lucky to get 4 responses but I soon built up friendships by responding back to each response and requested people as friends who I thought I would really get on with, in fact I have met two in reall life now also which was fantastic. I do find by having a lot of friends does help with the responses but I also got a discussion listed in the daily digest and therefore more people got to see it and respond to it 76 responses, wow. I usually type discussions that anyone can answer really but not simple is what colour do you like, in fact the title of my best one was 'do other peoples children annoy you when you are eating out in a restaurant' Good luck, keep posting keep responding and I am sure the responses will soon go up. Ellie :D

it's not only the topic, it also depends on some amount of luck. there are also many with a lot of friends, wich can help too. i noticed that the light hearted discussions get the most responses, but there the most boring to read (i find personnaly)
