I typically start a very few discussions these days, say 1 per month or something close to that. I have not been very active here owing to the huge workload these days. So may be i can reply to at max 4-5 discussions per month, because i tend to look for a nice topic to reply to.
So in a typical month, how many discussions would you have started? or do you keep a weekly/daily target on the number of discussions to be started? Share your thoughts please.

This is an intersting question. I used to start atleast one discussion in a day. I mylot only five days in a week. So, five discussions per week. Then I found that mylot is not payign much when people respond to your discussions. The pay is more when you write reponses for others discussions.
It made me concentrate more on responding to discussions that in creating discussions. But, even now I create atleast one discusson in a week. I create a discussion only when I think it is an intersting topic and many people will respond to the discussion.

No I dont keep track of my comments. In fact for the past months I havent posted any topic for discussions, I am commenting only on topics I like and interst me. Like you do I am so busy with my work and sometimes I just tried to go into mylot for some relaxation like now.

Yes, even i do not kep track of my comments or discussions. Whateer that interests me, I'll comment about it. Mylot is just a piece of relaxation for me and i am not expecting a big earning from Mylot. Usually i never start any discussions. All i do is just post my topics that interests me a lot and nothing more apart from that.

Not so often, I prefer responding to some of the discussions than posting discussions. Well, sometimes I'm out of idea and there's a lot of questions here that are very similar. I think I can earn more in making comments/responding than making discussions. But I'd still love to open up discussions, it just I can think about new ideas. I am posting around 5-10 discussions before when I am active and I am earning more than $1 in a day. By now, I am satisfied with responding.

That's quite some money. Earning 1$ per day here is something i would wish to do. Congrats to you on doing that. And yeah, i tend to start less number of discussions because of the lack of ideas

Hello dear sreekumarn86, I do not consider myself among one of them who are really good at starting discussions. Some are so nice at finding out novel ideas to start discussions that there is no way but to appreciate their creativity. Some have too many of them at their credit and most of them bears their mark of quality. initially I started a few discussions which appear to myself now as of below standard. Unless I find an interesting topic I do not start a new discussion.
Rather I search for discussions which are appealing to me and post responses to them. Now seeing many posts of those who are placed higher in the leader board I try to post good quality posts. As English is not my first language, sometimes I find it difficult to express what I actually in my mind. I have compromise with whatever is coming to me due to limited control over the language. But I try to give in as good as I can. MyLot helps me in a big way in doing this.
Happy lotting

i don't really keep track of it... i actually respond to discussions more than i post here because i am just lazy (i think) or simply don't be bothered to create one unless if i have a very good topic to discuss... and i don't set a target for myself too as i think that it is not necessary... take care and have a nice day...

me too, honestly I don't start 'useless' discussions or discussions just for the sake of posting discussions, so usually I just reply to the topics already posted. But once in a while I get a dilemma that I ask advice from here in mylot, a general idea of how people would react to various topics and hope that I get my answer from that, but to post just for the sake of posting I refrain from doing.

Atleast 5 discussions a month. This site allow us to share the things which we are able to share and get paid that. Really this site pays respect to human feelings and pay for that.

Hi sreekumarn86,
I don't very often write discussions but I respond to discussions all the time, I may do once a month but that is all.

I am not yet here for one month and I have a total of 5 discussions started. In the coming days, maybe on the average , I could only start a 2 discussions in a month. Got busy with other things and sometimes I could not find a good discussion to post. What I do is to just respond to 10 discussions a day, if something interests me.

I am quite new to MyLot, and I seldom open a new discussion. Up to today I think I have only opened 4 or 5 discussions, which is on average 1 discussion in 2 days. Most of the time I will just reply on other's discussion. And I do not have the habit of tracking the number of response/discussion I have replied/opened. i just leave a comment whenever I am free.

I really have no ideas about this. All is depending on the time. But now ,I will think about this question whether to make a plan about the discussion.

I think I create discussion couple times a week, I do when I think of ideas and usually I create a bunch at a tie just because when I try to think of what to write, idea just pop up pop up... hehe! Of course the more we create, the more we can get but at the same time, we want to make a quality ones :-)

I haven't started a single discussion since I signed up. (SIGH). . . Maybe I'm just the 'responder' type. . .

I'm new to this and I don't even know how to start a discussion. Or does a beginner only allowed to respond? It's very interesting, so many topics to choose from.
