In your started discussion, how often do you comment on every responses you get? Did anyone of you never miss to post a comment on all responses you get? Me I wanted to comment on every responses but I failed to do that since I'm not myLotting fulltime. And may I ask, do our comments make our earnings higher? I guess we're not but I might be wrong, I accept clarification.

From what I understood, a started discussion does not earn anything, unless you respond to mylotters who had a comment to it (I hope I am making sense). Regarding your question about responding to each comment... In my case I don't usually respond when the answer is obviously repeated a gazillion times. Also, if the response is something I cannot relate to, I'd rather not respond than leaving a commnet I am not even sure of.

Yes, when a discussion got it's first response, it will automatically increase your earnings. Yes, I also don't respond when it's already answered and repeated many times. Thanks for the response. Happy myLotting!

hello markmoney!!! Yes, I comment on all the responses I get in my discussions. You will find very few responses which don't have the comments for the discussions I have started. As far as possible I comment all the responses. If I don't have anything really great to tell, but still I always have to thanks for the giving the response in my discussion. This is the real great way to show the gratefulness. If in the discussions we started, we didn't read the response or comment the response, then the effort of the responder turn to be useless which is the hurt the effort of the responder. With this feeling I always tend to comment the each response I get. And about earning with the comments. You had really misunderstood. Commenting for the responses surely pays and I am definite. I haven't read the other responses in this but I think everyone have already said this thing. In fact, I think commenting the responses we get pays up even more than responding to other discussion. So, comment each and every response you get. Your earning will really increase. And it is always easier to comment the responses we get than responding in many discussions. This will really help to make the earning faster... Good luck...Happy mylotting...

That is a good practice, making a comment on almost all the responses you get. Comment is often like by responder. Me too I prefer to have a comment on all the responses I write. Yes, I am wrong on what I thought, that we don't earn from posting a comment. Other myLotters already told me the same as what you said. But only to you I learned that posting a comment gives a higher earnings than responding to other's discussion. Thank you for your very informative response. Happy myLotting!

Yes, I always try to comment -- assuming I have something of value that I can add, beyond what the member's response says. Commenting keeps a discussion active and gives you more opportunity to participate. The more you comment back, the more people can also comment to you. Yes, you earn for your comments. You earn for whatever you post. You don't earn for what anyone else posts. So, if you start a discussion and it gets 50 responses, that doesn't help your earnings unless you comment back with good quality conversation (don't just thank people, though - that won't help you and is actually against myLot's guidelines). Those 50 people each earn for their own response - you don't. So, you don't have to comment but, if you don't, your started discussions aren't going to be giving you as much value as they could.

I see, your response was so informative. You clarified things that I didn't know before. So we are earning only for the posts we wrote. And having many responses didn't have any impact to us in terms of money unless we answered back. So a discussion with 1 response and a discussion with a thousand responses will just get the same amount, unless we post a comment on it. The only benefit of having many responses is having also more opportunities to put a comment. Thank you really for your response. Have a nice day. Happy myLotting!

I try to comment to everyone that responds to me but sometimes don't do so, especially if I have nothing to say. Our comments do help our earnings a bit I believe, and if nothing else they help get you a helpful follower or followers on your discussion. Everyone has different opinions on what makes you more, etc.

Yes, it's really hard to comment on all responses specially if you got too many. But yes, we still do our best to comment them all. And yes, we earn from posting a comment and it's even higher earning we can get from posting a comment than a response to other's discussion, according to one myLotter who responded to this discussion. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

I only comment if I feel it is necessary, and I certainly don't just say something like 'I agree.' I think it's best to PM if you want to just thank people for responding. Basically, do what you feel is right, and you won't go far wrong. I think we do get paid for comments, as long as they are relevant to the response.

Yes, we better make every posts to be composed of many lines. We should choose discussions on matters we like and can relate so that we can say a lot. Thanks for the response. Happy myLotting!

Yeah. I comment on each response to my discussion and I've never missed one of them. I do this not just for earning more bucks though commenting indeed helps me earn more, but more importantly, I regard commenting back as a way of showing respect to the person who responded. It means the response is appreciated and taken into account. It's also a way of promoting a warmer atmosphere here. If I responded to a discussion but received no comment, I'd feel uncomfortable and even a little bit hurt. Then I'll never respond to another discussion started by the same person. I suggest you taking time to comment on each response to your discussion before you start any new discussions or respond to other discussions. You'll be rewarded with decent bucks. I started a dicussion several days ago and received over 100 responses on each of which I commented. I got nearly $1 that day. lol. Happy mylotting and happy commenting!

Wow, first of all, I want to congratulate you for being able to comment on all responses you have got. That is really hard especially if you get a lot of responses. Maybe you really give a lot of time in Mylot. Yes, commenting is also important, aside from you also earn from it, you also earn the sympathy of responders. Your reputation to them will be good. Even me, when I respond, I also expect to receive a comment. I wanted to comment all the responders but sometimes I just failed to do so due to lack of time, coz I just myLotting in my free time. I'm sorry for those responses that I have failed to give comments. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

I often response others' discussions, and I little start discussion, when I start a new one, I always get a few response, sometimes just one person response my discussion, so I give up that, and responses others' discussion, but I never forget comment on a response, because I really get a few, and easy for me to response, Haha. And I think our comments will make our earnings higher.

Like you I also got few responses sometimes but I didn't stop, coz I like starting a discussion more than responding to other's discussion. And yes the advantage of having only few responses is also means that it's easier to comment all. Yes, we also earn from comments. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

I always try my level best to comment on a response to my discussion. If I don't a lot to say, I will atleast say 'thanks for the response'. I think every person will like that. At the same time I expect a comment on the reponses I wrote on others discussions. I often go to the tab 'Responded' and see if anybody had commented on my responses. I feel extremely happy when somebody comment on my responses. But, it is very difficult to comment when you get lots of responses. One of my discussions got 106 responses. It was difficult for me to go through each response and comment on it.

Last time I did not comment to the response for the discussion I have started, but recently I have changed. I will commment to every response for the discussion. However, I have no idea whether comments on response will increase our earnings or not but I think it's a good way to build our reputation. If we don't comment to those response, I think MyLotters will not be interested to respond to our discussion dy.

You did a good move in changing. Because other myLotters said that we really earn from posting a comment. And it is also a good way for the other myLotters to like us. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Most of the time, i do comment on those people who responded on my discussions as a sign of thanking them for responded. I think our earnings increase if we do comment on responses of others.

Yes, the people who responded to our discussions expected a comment from us so we should really practice to comment on every responses we get. Yes indeed, our earnings increase when we post comments. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

the question you asked is also the one I want to ask.i like start discussions ,seldom response to others' discussion,and seldom comment to the response to me.because i donot know where can i find the discussions i started.and today i know,i will comment to every response and always response to other's discussion.are you sure if your discussion have 50 response,your earning is still like only 1 response?i doubt
@markmoney (2868)

26 Jun 09
Yes we already got the answer to our question. Comments really makes our earnings higher. Yes even how many responses we get, only the first one will give us earning, so even we got 50 responses, it's still equivalent to 1, unless we comment on the responses. We don't earn from other's posts, we only earn from every posts we made. Well like you, I also like to start discussion more than to respond to other's discussion. I it's clear to you too how to earn here in myLot. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

I do make an attempt to comment every response. But not every response is worth of commenting back. But if the response showed much effort to respond to my discussion I will most definitely respond back to your comment. Which reminds me I need to get back to commenting to my responders. Happy mylotting! ; )
@markmoney (2868)

Yes we should post a comment on every responses specially if it gives a good point of view. Aside from that, every comments will give us more earnings. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

Almost every one is doing it. it's simply because you also get a point for simply commenting on the response or comments on others response.it's hard to comment on all of them because like you too i don't have time, and it's really hurting my hands typing at home after typing in the office.

If I start a discussion I always try my best to comment on peoples responses. I think that if someone has taken the time to make a comment. . good bad or indifferent I should do the same. Now granted I am human and may miss some here or there...but it is unintentional if I do so. Sometimes though there isnt much to say back but wishing them a hello and a happy mylotting is always a nice thing to do! Happy Lotting to you!

Right now I more like to comment on all responses I got but due to lack of time, I can't really comment on all. It is also not my intention. Is is said that we should avoid to write in using only few words but I guess it's better to comment with few words than to not comment at all. Thanks for your response. Happy myLotting!

For me, I do not comment on every response I get. I think it will take me a lot of time to do that, and I do not have so much time in fact. So I often select some which cause my interest to give a response, or sometimes I will give on response to a discussion I start, because only a few people give responses and I think it is unnecessary to do so.

Yes, I try to comment on a response where I have started a discussion. But sometimes I don't because some answers are just posted so I leave. But usually, I comment on each post. Also one should comment so that the other side can understand that his/her response been read.

it's very rare that i comment to the added response on my discussion. however, it feels good to read comments and criticize their opinions as well. and as long as i love what i'm doing, i'd not stop myLotting. =)
