In many of the discussions,i find so any good mylotters say that if you have more friends,you will get more responses and the way, more money.... But i dont know, to what extent it is true....But i have to somewhat accept them because are they all are in myLot for a long time!! Whats your experience??

It really depends. I do have a good number of friends here and some of my discussion do go beyond 100. However, usually discussions that go beyond 100 are listed as Top Discussions of they Day. I guess that's the main reason why the discussions attracted more people. I am not the most active member in MyLot but I do have a number of good friends here whom I will always respond to them and they will always respond to me. I appreciate that and I thank them for that.

You have got the point buddy. The reason to make more friends in mylot is actually getting more posts. And nothing is bad in it. There is a section in mylot home page that named 'discussions friends started'. If you have more friends, then there is possibilities of seeing your posts by more people. That increases chance to get more responses. That means you are getting more money. That is the equation.

Hi sri, Im here for a quite a long time, and yes people who are experinced i mean who stayed here for long time say so.. and even i can accept it partially , but to be truthful there will be only few friends who can really help you in doing it , and in other case i do respond their discussion only then they will remember me and respond mine.It happens like this, and for them to reply its hould be really intresting and good.. for me i do reply all friends discussion and if they arent doing it to me back then i dont reply all their discussion i only just flip through if its really intresting.. i will reply them!!! Happy mylotting...

Wow.. Its really a Rhythamic Topic.. It looks very attractive, you are really got a good responses for this discussions. But i am also looking for the disussion topic, which looks very attractive like this, and it supposed to catch the people's eye to you and capture them to give their responses to your discussions. Regarding the matter of Friends, i have not experience.. i have to learn more but in my home page, there i can find the Frineds column.. where there shows that Friends(1), this is very peculier, because the other link like "Home", "interests", "discussions" etc will be shown as plain, but the friends only displayed as "friends(1).. I dont know what is the secret behind that.. How much have you earned for your 585 Postings so far.. If you tell the same, i can take a guidlines for my grouth. Have a good day.. Meet you in some other discussions..

It is no doubt that the more friends you have,the more responses you will get no matter what website you are in.What's more,it happens not only on line but in our real life,for our friends always pay more attention to us and are willing to take part in our topics much more than the strangers.If you want to attract both your friends and the strangers,However,you must make your discussions much more interesting!

Yes!! I do think... That the more friends that you have... the ore people le that will see your discussion on their homepage... and more people wold respond to it... And the more responses you get for your discussion.. the more you get paid.... I have noticed this.. When i had very few friends... I was not getting many responses to my discssions... Now that i made so many friends... I get atleast 10 responses easily for any kind of discussion i make.. I also got about 49 responsee to one of my discussion.. and most of them my friends... So keep making friends... here on mylot....^_^

Well I don't know how true that is but all my friends are either lazy or don't like my discussions ;) so I hardly get any responses from them but I try my best to check out what my friends have been upto and I try to respond to their discussions. I except everyone's friend request because there is no harm in it but I wish my freinds would participate more in my discussions.

I am like everyone else on here. I have a lot of friends on my friends list but only a few answer my post. I do not post often and I do try to respond to all discussions that my friends start. Even if they never respond to any of mine. The friends that do respond to my discussions are my true friends in my opinion. I am learning so much about them and usually enjoy our discussions more so than anyone else’s. I appreciate all responses to my questions, but my friends and I will usually keep on discussing back and forth and I think that also helps bring in more money on your post. I have learned that it is okay to have friends on my list that don't respond, I no longer take offense to that. I just go and reply to theirs for I still get credit for doing so. Good luck to you on mylot.

I never think that if we get more friends will eventually result in getting more money. I enjoy making friends very much. The reason I make friends with them is that their responses are good. I think that they can give us some insights and views of my problems, or at least giving out their opinions about something that I will be certain I will be happy to hear. And I always accept anyone who wants to make friends with me not because they will lead me to a faster gaining more money, but that they really somebody who is worthy to make friends.

For me, I do check out what discussions my friends have started in addition to the others from my interests. I also check out the popular discussion section. I hope my friends do feel that they have benefitted me being their friend because I do try to respond to their discussions which I find interesting. To a certain extent, I believe this is true.

This is true. I get responses from my friends. They are always there for me. Whenever they see my discussion they respond to mine. Which makes me feel good. I also do the same. Actually i don't. I don't always respond. It's not because i don't want to but i can not. Sometimes after reading their discussions i feel that there is actually no response for me to write. Then i don't make a comment on those discussions.

you can get more responses when you have more friends because as you know there category named friends started on discussions so if your friends looking to it you may recieve more responses for sure and as you can guess its for sure that more popular you discussions get you get more money normally yesterday i almost made 6 popular posts and my earnings for yesterday was more than 2.40 dollars so i was really excited anyway happy mylottings

Hi dreamssri Well, I'm happy being at mylot. I'm in no hurry. I enjoy to reply post as per my understanding. I have few friends, i like the people here. Yes at the end of the day i do check how much did I earn. I value more if I find a good friend. Also, I think in all the cases, quantity isn't more important than quality. Sometimes quality matters.

well, i am not certain about that as well.. because i have noticed that when i start a conversation and would not log in for a day, even if there are so many respoinses to the discussion that i have started, it would not add anything to my earning. but when i type more and respond to more discussions, that's when i get to earn more money. so with my first hand experience, it's not the responses that is helping us earn but the interactions that we make, so would rather respond to many discussions that start my own!

wow! really??? that's nice. i haven't tried getting that much for starting a discussion. i mean, i havent tried earning that much at all. the most that i have earned here is just 80 cents or so.. but it didnt really reached 90 cents!:)

There seems some people here in mylot that they prioritize their friend's discussions other than choosing at the interest nor on the popular topic. As for me, yes, I consider to reply to my friend's discussion (that if I know what to say) whenever I'm online. Plus, I always respond to all the users who made a comment or reply to my started discussion.

I have quite a few friends in my list. I DO NOT get a lot of responses to my discussions. I think the people who get a lot of responses from their friends may have a personal relationship with them, I do not know. I usually get zero responses or one, there was a discussion I made once that did get 22 responses. So, I still do not fully know how this friend's thing work, I have been here three months. I get friends requests and accept them, and that is the end of it. Hope your friends are a lot more responsive than mine. Good luck

You DO NOT get some good number of responses because,The reason is in your response itself,you have quite few friends in you list! So make friends,dont waut for requests to come,go get your friends...

As a new member here in MyLot and I have a list of 53 friends and if it will regards to a 100 response for a post of discussion, Yes it is very possible because I do experience it when I have a 120 response in one of my post discussion and I won't believe if we have so many friends we will have so many response because most of my friends are not responding often in my discussion, I do believe that they will response on the discussion if it is a quality discussion that we post.....

I don't no actually. I never add any friends. I just approve if i got any request. It will be confusing when i just try to add friends. On what basis i can add them as friends? What will they think.? Like this so many question comes in my mind. I just create topics in the popular interests like mylot,life, etc. People will definitely view that. In that way i am making money.

Don't hesitate to make friend requests...they will never think anything wrong about you..First of all keep one thing in mind,myLot is not a social networking site...Its a place to earn money,gather knowledge,etc,..you asked on what basis you add them as friends?No logic! if you like their discussion or if you like their name or if you like their response or something else,dont hesitate to send request... Take care, Sri
