I try hard, but still my discussions have few replies/comments. Is it only me?

Try to invite other members to be your friends. Tell them with your discuss.

It is always hard to tell if a discussion will get a lot of comments or not. Sometimes it is just the time of day you posted, sometimes it may be the subject title didn't grab peoples attention. But, DO keep trying! Making more friends would be a good step also

I havent checked your threads... I think you should start topics that are interesting for other people some of the topics that are I think people here in mylot will be interested is how to make money online and stuffs like that since most of the people are here to generate extra income.

Guess it’s just like that. Nothing personal. Sometimes you get a lot responses from other mylotters, sometimes, you will only be getting a few, and other times, no response at all. Well, it’s just that people choose the discussion that would like to respond to, if they don’t find it interesting, then they wont respond to it. Well, for my case, that’s what I do, but of course it doesn’t mean I don’t like those people who started a discussion which I do not reply to, it’s just that I would like to reply to topics that interests me, that way, I can contribute a lot, and there plenty of things that I can share. So just keep on posting discussions or topics which you think would interest the majority, surely you will be getting a lot of replies and also try to gain friends here, that surely helps because they will respond to your discussions. So keep those discussions coming and happy mylotting to you friend!:) see you around!:)

Well, there were many discussion I started which had very few responses. In fact, the highest replies was 15. I noticed that some of my friends on myLot tend to answer my questions more often than strangers. So I guess making friends does help because of the discussion feed your friends can see on their home page.

Hi Jenaisle,Same is happening to my discussions also,but we shall wait and see as am also very new to this site.

Probably your topics may have been discussed even before you posted them. And don't worry that much with your topics, I also have threads and has no responders at all.

Don't worry your not alone! The most replies I have ever had where 8 in my discussions but I'm not worried about because like you already I think it is because we are only new here and don't have alot of friends yet and so you posts are not getting seen as much as other peoples are so the more friends you have the more views you should be able to get to your discussions.... well thats what i think anyway :)

i experiences the same thing with most of my threads. but it is okay. considering the new threads being posted daily. at least, even we got few replies, still, some members here noticed it. rather than totally ignored.

hi Jenaisle I had the same problems when I was new here five months ago and now my last discussion had twenty seven responses. just keep answering others discussions and get your name known then people see Jennaisle and they say wellshe 'responded to my discussions I must respond to hers, and you will start to get a lot of responses. ten is good for beginner and you will start to get more and more and get more friends that will also help. more friends, more responses too. good luck and welcome.

Disappointment is not good for a person like you in mylot. Write again and again.

I don't think you are doing badly if you get up to ten responses on your discussions. Thought provoking discussions are good and will get quality responses but there are still many people who don't like to have to think too much about what they read and write and so they respond more to silly and simple topics. I think you should continue with good thought proking topics but try to get yourself known by taking part in more discussions, and then other members will want to reply to yours. It does help if you have a big list of friends, as most of them will receive email notifications of your new discussions. Not every friend will respond to each discussion but you will get more responses with more friends. If you don't try to start too many discussions, and spend more time responding to other people's discussions, this will help you to gain friends and more people will look for your discussions.

There are many discussions that i have started that either get none one or two responses,and it doesnt worry me in the slightest,as long as im enjoying my self here on Mylot then thats all that matters to me.Its nothing personal at all,and nothing to do with the type of questions that you write,so just ignore it all and get on with your Mylotting.

Sometimes I face the same problem like you in some of my discussions. I think it all depends on how to express your stories and the way you make your topics. For me,I always reply to interesting topics,so titles are very important. There is nothing personal in Mylot. Maybe you can try to change the way on how to create your topics and the way you express out. I think it helps. Happy posting. Keep on trying,don't give up.

There is no problem with you but it has been the trend of myLot; also you can not expect your answers being replied every time; most of the time I found (I do not mean the discussions you have started anyway) the same, or nearly same topic being discussed in different separate discussions. I think about anything else a catchy title with first few lines written nicely is very important to get attention.

I feel your pain on the whole discussion issue. However, I wouldn't let it bother me too much. If you post something you are really interested in or something you want to vent about then you are still being "heard" so to speak. Good luck and have a great day mylotter!!

It's not you. When I first arrived here, I found two discussions that were a wake-up call to me. One was a discussion that said that the person who started it never accepted friend requests from anyone with fewer than 100 posts. The other was a discussion that said the writer never responded to discussions by newbies with fewer than 100 posts. Some of the comments on each of these discussions were disappointing to me. Some members said they didn't respond to anyone with fewer than 500 posts. Frankly, I stopped trying to start discussions. I started a discussion at another site yesterday that now has 48 reponses. I'm sure if I posted the same thing here, I might get 10.

No my friend it isnt only you. I have been on mylot since July 3rd. I have approx 10-12 discussions i have started, for the longest time i had two that had no responses and then later i did get one or two to them, i guess its just patience. Other than those two my discussions average maybe 5-7, i did just start one yesterday though that is up to 11 responses, but i think its safe to say we all have a period where our discussions just arent getting the replies, but no worries, they will in time.

33 comments is not a few comment ;) well, nobody can really tell whether a discussion will get responded or not. although i've noticed that most of the times, it's the trivial topics that do get lots of responses. While if you come out with a really serious topic, chances are only experts or people with interest in that topic will respond.

I do not know, do you get paid more if your discussions are more responded to
