Hello cocooreo You get paid more for the more work you put into it as you should. You won't get paid much for starting a few word sentence or responding with a few word sentence. Starting a discussion helps but you will only get paid for what you have typed you won't get paid for starting a discussion and then other people responding to it, you will only get paid for the response that you type...Best of luck and happy mylotting

You have understood correctly cocooreo!
Youearn for what you post as long as it is quality.
It doesn't matter where you post it, in other dicussions or as comments to responses on your own discussions.
You do not earn for what others post.
You type, you earn - others type, they earn - SIMPLE!

Yes, and as told by one of the mylotters that has responded to this question, he mentioned that you will not earn if you are starting a discussion and people replying to your discussion. You will only earn when you are replying to others people discussion and feedback to others' responds in your discussion. So, am i right?

Either one will get you money. Same amount you earn depending on how active you are.
The more active you are in your discussions and responses, the more you earn.
The chances to earn more is in starting discussions. Cos when people reply, you respond back, and the conversations goes on, you generate more money.
Same goes for responses. I have responses where the author of the discussion together with some other members also joined in and chat with me, I earn as much as I do in that response as I did if I were to start a discussion.
So it really depends on how active you are that counts towards how much you earn.

Thanks!
Mylot has been good to me. And I want to be active as much as my schedule allows. This is the only way to repay the kindness that mylot has bestowed on me.
You are pretty active too!
And in time, once you get into the habit of visiting mylot, it will become a part of your routine. And the benefits of being active in mylot will just rub off on you so much so, you wouldn't want to stop!

I agree with your. I prefer to respond to people's reply in a way similar to chatting. One respond, one reply and it goes on. In this way, I feel that it is more interesting by just replying other people's discussion without really communicating.
Ah Gong, I have seen you active ever since I joined mylot. I am so impress on your determination to be with Mylot all this time! BRAVO!

I was really hoping to make money from other peoples comments on the discussions I posted and am a little disappointed to learn the bitter truth :). But it makes good sense I suppose. Otherwise MyLot would be a place of people trying to come up with the best topics for discussion.

There is no particular right answer. At times you could earn more money by starting a discussion or by replying to a discussion. However, you don't make any money by starting a discussion unless you reply to those responses. So you can start heaps of discussions which have lots of responses, but you still won't earn anything. Here in mylot you only earn for the things that you have done, and in my opinion, that is fair. Work for your money.

Yeah.. I think is quite fair too. You have to earn with your effort. In my opinion, by replying the mylotters in your own discussion is simply much more interesting as it seems to be there is a communication going on instead of just blindly replying. :D More meaningful i suppose. Also, by replying to the responds, at least has shown that the discussion initiator have read and appreciated the respond/reply.

I have got an answer from one of the mylotter here that has responded to my question. As what he said, people who starts a discussion and amounts of people who replies to the discussion does not earn you any credit. You will only earn when you reply to others discussion and you feedback others responses in your discussion.

You need to post quality in here to earn whether it be starting a discussion, or responding to other discussions. This discussion really isn't a discussion, therefore you won't get paid for it, as it just asks a question, and that isn't allowed to just ask a question without discussing. It needs to have substance and be descriptive. Mylot pays us our posts, as they want quality and not quantity, so if you post jut to be posting to earn and they aren't quality, you won't get a thing. You also need to comment on responses you receive, or you won't earn either, as you are only paid for what you do, and not what others do. I hope this has helped you understand how we earn in here. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

You will earn more if post quality post cocooreo!
One hint wherein you can see more money is to type words which are like 3-5 lines longer. When you start a discussion, you earn.When users respond to it, they earn. When you comment to it, you also earn.

hi,cocooreo!
it seems starting a discussion brings a large amount of credits soon when there is a large amount of responses.but responses represent you must to comment them one by one,which takes a lot of time.of course I like doning it.but considering the time I spend on it,sometimes I prefer to response discussions started by oher people.
anyway,responsing plus starting is the best way to earn credits in mylot,I think.
have a nice day!

Thank you for sharing. I love responding the to the responds of my own discussion better that replying to other discussion because it is hard to find the discussion that I want to reply to. The time spent on looking for a preferred question or discussion is rather consuming. However, there is also a period that I do not have any idea on what discussion to start with. Happy Mylotting!
