M just dumbfounded to see so many getting discussions getting wide responses even though the topic is a simple thing or a complex political boring thing.. I just wonder why my discussions never reach the best discussion of the day even once.. I don even get responses above 5 these days. I don think my writing isn't bad but sure think my topics are.. I jus saw a discussion today wit 61 responses! Insane.. Ha ha.. Wonder if will ever reach that level.. Wats the trick behind this! If theres any.. Any suggestions to improve my discussions are welcome? :)

If you have time to READ and think anout the tips I give you then I will carry on. Do not worry about getting lots of responses yet. Don't even bother about starting discussions until you have got some friends. Concentrate on responding on other interesting discussions until you reach 100 and you will be learning what others do. It is NOT necessary to start lots of discussions to earn. I have started one (1) this month so far. It has received 116 responses so far BUT, and this is the important part, I have commented back to ALL of them. Some of the responders keep coming back and writing more too and I go back again. That is when it becomes a discussion. I also go to a discussion by all of them. Then next time I start a discussion they will come back too Good luck!

Comments earn you very well as do responses. A response is the first time you respond on a dicussion. A comment is when you respond to a response. Withe just one discussion and many comments and just a few responses I am over half way to pay out already this month. Of course they must be quality responses and comments and not just one word or one line.

Hi dilip, dont analyse these matters, they are beyond ones thinking. It is better to go with the flow. Most idiotic discussions get may 100+ responses , why only 61..It is the same thing in all the sites, an overdose ...

I really think it's either hit or miss. Some days many myLotters are online and other days not so many. The very few times I had mega responses was to a discussion that was yucky. For example, I posted a discussion about a man who came to where I work to eat a hotdog, ate, took out his teeth, wiped them with a napkin and put back in his mouth. Make sure you join as many friend's lists as you can so the exposure is there. Welcome to myLot.

I am in a different time zone. I find that it makes absolutely no difference what time I post. If friends have their notifiers on and the discussions starts moving then it will receive responses before it gets buried. Then if it gets some even months later, as long as you go back and comment you will still be earning, and very nicely too!

I think the most responses I ever got was 20, I don't know how people do it, because sometimes the topic is not even that good to have so many people respond to it, but I think the more friends you have the more people will see your discussion and respond to it.

I don't think there's really a trick in making discussions. I believe people responds more on topics that they could relate their lives to. They usually could relate to life happenings, events, experiences, or even sometimes stretching out their minds to think about the future. Like in one of my discussions, I was surprised that I got 70 responses on it. The topic was about, if they'll be given a chance to be a millionaire, why would they take it. I elaborated on that one, that I'm referring to their reasons beyond money why if given a chance, they will take it. I loved to read their responses on that one. You could really see that almost everyone wants to help somebody, wants to build a foundation, or to travel and have fun with family and friends. I think I was able to connect my discussion with their emotional feelings that's why they responded so warmly on that topic. Don't worry, I can see that you're a newbie here, I was once in your position, I was wondering how I will get more people to respond to me, I even made a discussion like this one. I tried hard to think about discussions that I think people will like but it didn't work, until one day, I just became more natural in making questions and discussions. Just enjoy mylotting dilip and you'll get better responses. =)
