Posting quality responses in MyLot

I'm new too and I'm so happy you decided to post this question! I got an email from an invite and had no idea what MyLot was until today! I was also curious if people are actually reading the responses or caring or am I just wasting my time looking for conversation and the like. I work for ChaCha and we have a lot of people that don't care and just answer to get the money which makes us all look bad so I'm happy that they seem to have a QC system set up here so that people that care and enjoy responding can not be looked at badly as "gaming" and still make a little something.

It took me two months to reach this number of posts. I was active since last September and yes quality should always be considered whenever you respond to a discussion or whenever you start a discussion. Your responses or discussions must have Quality and Quantity. For you to have a quality response make sure that you respond to the discussion that completely interests you. Quantity - your response or discussion must be descriptive and should not be going in circles. Try to make your response at least 20 words or 2-3 sentences then for your discussions it should be at least 5-6 lines. Don't forget to rate other users. It helps myLot determine the quality of your post. Happy myLotting and I hope you'll enjoy it here!

Hi friend,I felt the same initially but when once you start posting you get used and your number of responses also increase .But only quality posts are important and we even get 2 cents per post for quality posts.Even you concenterate on number of posts and not quality you would get very less earnings.So concenterate on quality posts.It should be descriptive and apt to the discussion.So select discussions which you can give a best response.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

well, when i respond i make sure that it doesnt hurt anyone. and if possible, you give comments which are really nice and which really comes from your thoughts... when i start a discussion, i really dont plan about it. when something pops up out of my thoughts, i do write about it or sometimes, i share my experiences...

its also the same question i want to ask, i have joined here for about 15days, it;s really a difficult thing for me to response other's discussion. especially when they reply our own topics. many answer is hard to understand. if i anser "thanks for your response" it violates the mylot rules, how can i do?

I try to post quality responses but I balance that with my earning potential.There are different kinds of posts ,some are intended to help persons while others are intended to stimulate discussion.The key to mylotting I believ is finding a balance between all of these types of posts.

zukepr is right. You will get banned because of short response in discussions and comments. I have two accounts in mylot, i've also have bad experience last year. i have an account and it have 8000 post but most of the post i write is short. After a month i've been banned in the site. First i'm confused because why i'm banned but soon i realized when i read the FAQ and read in some discussions of other members. So try to make your response longer. I will start over again and avoid mistake i make last time.

I do try to make each of my posts have effort and quality, but there are some discussions that you simply can't make a really worthy response to, it might be something very trivial, like the type of hand lotion you use, something that is really hard to turn into a meaningful conversation.

You can searched for some reference books or website where in you can learn something and share it here.It is still a good thing to read a lot, it will not only give you enough topic, but will educate us more of the different things in life. And you know, you cannot pay the wisdom gain from reading. Since I am fond of reading, It is not hard for me to start a good discussions here, a discussions that can give some information and knowledge to others. Try it its fun and educational.

I myself also a newbie in myLot and I always try to give good responses as possible. At first it takes time to think and give responses to discussions. But don't worry too much because as time pass by, you can easily make a good response. Just involve yourself in many discussions because it will train your thinking skills and also your descriptions.

I try to post quality response so that the person reading it is able to gather as much information as he can.

Yes, I do. I don't go for length but for quality. If I focus on the qualiy and getting straight to the point, the lenght will come. I do care about my responses because I think of what it would be like if I were the poster of the discussion. Yes, one bad post is not going to matter, but I prefer to give it 100%. I mean, it's more about the money, it's about the content and making this site a better place to spend time. Therefore, I focus on quality and not length.

I only respond to posts that interest me, and that I actually have something to say or give advice about. There are a lot of quality topics and responses on here, however there also seem to be a lot of topics that people don't seem to think about before posting them. I find it very hard to be interested in a topic that has terrible grammar and punctuation. If I have to read a post three times just to try to understand what the person is talking about, I generally won't respond to it.

Im a newbie also here in Mylot, in fact I just started yesterday. I was able to post responses only to topics near to my heart, lol. I have a hard time posting responses, on topics im not familiar with and on topics i particularly dont like ( i even have difficulty even posting vehement reactions, lol). I tried to be helpful in my posts and tried to post only quality responses.

Dear Friend, First of all welcome to myLot! Regarding the posting of the quality responses, all I can say is that you should plan mentally before answering any discussion. Your response should be relevent and informative! It should serve the purpose for which it is intended! It should be eloborative and detailed one! Thus a quality discussion always draws attention of others and mylot is no exception to it! Mylot people always requesting us to post quality discussions! Well regarding your query if every one is posting quality discussions or not! It is judged by your star rating which you are going to get once you score more than 100and also from your earnings. From ordinary responses you can normally make a small amount of earnings! Like by responding about 50 responses you can make some 50 cents in a day if they are ordinary types. Where as very few like say about ten of quality discussions can get you the same amount! Thus quality discussions always pays you better! Yes it takes months together, for that matter years together to post thousands of discussions and responses! If you go to my profile ans see my responses and dicussions initiated you will find that I try to be as eloborative as possible and as detailed as possible and I try to be relevent and I use polite and easy language understandable to every member! Thus let me tell you that here on this forum to be popular, to have good fellow shop and fairly good earnings you should post a quality discussion or response though you may take a long time to do so! Wish you all the best and Happy myLotting!

I respond and that is all that I do. I do not aim to make the best response but I sometimes get it. It's just a discussion. No biggie. Cheers!

well, i believed that my responses are all quality responses. I don't go beyond topic as being said in here when you reply to a discussion it should descriptive as possible. Since i go for quality responses i mark it quality responses when somebody responses to my discussion

I also have the same issue but I really enjoy when I poat quality posts on my lot. It gives a high to my creativity, it is a pure creative satisfaction along with a feel that your honest responses may be helpful or enlightening or merely comforting to the fellow lotters.

Welcome silverglint. A tip on how to post quality responses, you have to establish your area of interest. You can easily respond to various topics if you are really interested. Views and opinions would just flow easily. Another tip, give comments immediately. Don't bother to look for the opinions of other people before giving your own views. Doing that, you would be lost of words because you are thinking of posted responses. You will not like that, so just write what comes into your mind.

i always try to make quality response but that's not easy at all... took me 5 days to make almost 50 post and i spend at least 5-10 to create and post answers (also cause i'm not english so i need so time to translate everything eheh)... anyway here quality is what counts most, for people, for the community and also for u if u want to make more money while posting here... earning goes hand in hand with ur post quality so better to spend more time writing and earn more then write just one line response and get nothing ;)
