I have tried and tried and I just can't seem to get many responses to my discussion. What would be a good discussion? What makes a good discussion? What would you like to talk about. I have no problem in life that I need advice with. I have no complaints. I know Obama is the thing now, I don't want to talk about him. Any ideas.

Hello Chevee, I am not worry too much whether my discussion will get less or more responses. Some say it will help you earn more if you get more responses. I came across many times, discussion which I think is just plain and simple but yet to get more responses. Some people don't like a lengthy discussion but not all lengthy discussions will get less responses. Some say they prefer to respond to a light discussion but my own daily discussion didn't get much attention and yet, my other friends' discussion got pages of responses *smiles* As long as I am happy mylotting here, whether my discussion gets more or less responses, doesn't affect my jovial mood *winks*

My dear, If you have no idea about discussion maybe you want to try my tip. Just make responses amd see that with that you can even earn you bigger amount. Believe me. I have been doing that and I am successfully earning more than a dollar each day. If you have no idea about new topic then don't waste your time thinking. Instead to to the discussion of others and make active participation. Make sure your answers long at least 4 sentences. Hope you find this useful.

Being original helps. Making your post stand out is another thing. Do something that grabs everyones attention. A discussion has to stand out in order to be a great discussion.

I think that you shouldn't just think about the amount of responses (or money) you will get by started a discussion, and instead just start a discussion on whatever you want to talk about. My discussions dont get that many people replying to them either, but I dont really mind, as I just like to get a couple of peoples opinions about the things that interest me! Hope this helps.

hi chevee anything that pertains to family life or love life, or health problems and ideas for good health are great topics. also the kind of problems we all face like the rise in cost of gas, groceries and the things we need for everyday life. also I myself often get ideas from reading others discussions and responses.

I don't like to talk about Obama either.. I answer all of your posts because you were kind enough to answer mine when I started one.. I will continue to answer any posts that are started by someone who responds to mine.. I have quite a few friends on my friends list, but have the notify turned off, because even though I respond to all of their discussions, they do not respond in kind to mine.. So, even though it doesn't make very much money for me, there is a principle involved.. I do believe in repaying a kindness and will continue to respond to your discussions..

My discussions from today were are passenger trains, tornados, my husband coming home from storm duty, and my cousin having thyroid cancer. As you can see they are all over the place..lol. I have got responses for all of them though. I just write about what's going on in my life mostly. Oh yeah, I did write about my short story contest also. I think it just depends on if your friends have the same interest. I did answer one of your other discussions today!

Hi Chevee, You'r not doing too bad on discussions girl, you'r doing fine, I haven't done one for a while now because I'm so busy responding to everyone and I can't think of any good one that will interest Mylotters, maybe I'll do a little story sometimes if I can think of one, but you are ok and I like your discussions that you have done so far, so keep going and keep posting. Your friend Tamara

See first of all decision is nothing but a pickup of taking a possible and better chance of what we have before us before taking decision we must be aware what is the purpose of that decision

Chevee, Politics is not often a good subject, unless you really have a political mind and enjoy that type of debate. I spend most of my time answering posts, but I've only had a couple of posts that really caught peoples eye. Honestly, I think it should be something that just comes to you. Something that means something to you. Don't worry, something will catch on. leenie
