Have you ever started a discussion in the general discussion section?

teamrose quality not quantity is the name of making money while having fun and enjoying mylotting. If you have a lot of interests already selected you should not have any problem posting to them. I dont think the amou nt of work necessary to earn is so bad, I make over a dollar a day most every day, you need to take a bit of time you will not make anything if you do not do the work, and if you bury your discussions in general you will get very few responses. I know, I learned that the hard way add interests to your profile and you will have a whole page open up for you to post your discussions, I bet you have not read the guidelines,its unbelievable to me that people come in here, post and dont make anything because they do not know what the hell they are doing. .read the guidelines you will be so glad as it will make posting discussions and everything else so much easier. you add as many interests to your profile as you like then when you post a discussion it opens up to give you a huge choice.

Hi teamrose, you should listen to Hatley. He is 100% right. Thank you Hatley for explaining it so nicely. Have a nice day both of you.

Thank your for your helpful advice. You are right, I have not read the guidelines. I bet a lot of other people have not read them either. Why, you ask? Because I have no idea how to find guidelines on this very difficult to navigate site. There is no tab labeled guidelines. It is not under discussions. Please share with me where I would find this elusive animal called guidelines? Thank you.

Hi elly, it is better to start discussions in the interests. That will help you to get more responses. And if you respond back to them, you will earn money. Do you get responses in your general discussions? I have never started one and from what others are saying, you hardly get any response in a general discussion.

Hi ronny. You have been here a long time. We never forget our first days in mylot, do we?

yeah, and when we are just starting here, we are like children, pre-schoolers who really are puzzled on what to do, and just starting to learn things and so we want to explore and experiment... but thanks to those helpful and kind mylotters who are always willing to help & guide us here...and they even serve as an inspirations to us... they are our mentors here.

Absolutely. I am trying to follow their footsteps. Sadly, they are very big and large shoes to fill in. I am not sure I will ever be able to. They are the best thing about mylot. Without them the site is lost. The new ones will have no idea of what to do and what not to do because I feel the FAQs and guidelines are not always very clear.

Hi ckyera, we have become reasonable and now choose our interests properly to start a new discussion. Our first steps in this site were pretty crazy and everybody did some crazy stuff, before they learned their way around.

Yes, sometimes we do stumble upon these secret areas. There is still so much to learn about this site.

Hi Intra, I found it the other way round.

I did not know that. Thank God I did not start one in there. Thank you for the information Tannie.

Well it is good for the topics that you just don't know where to put it. Other than that, post in your interests as much as possible.

I always find the proper interests. If there isn't one, it is better to create a new interest instead of putting it in the general discussion category.

Hi Hatley, I have always found the interest where I want to start a discussion. There are so many of them to choose from. I never knew about the general discussion. I saw it in the FAQs but I never thought I would find it. But, then, I found it at last.

Hi Dawn, I have faced that kind of a problem. But you can always create an interest if you cannot find one. I think that is better than putting a discussion in the general section. Thank you for the response.

Hi cream, you are very sensible. That is exactly why that section is there for. Thank you for the response.

I soo know the feeling. I guess its just one of those silly things that we do as a new member and a way for us to be called a certified newbie on myLot. In a sense, those silly actions could be our rites of passage to announce ourselves in the myLotland.LOL I think most members have gone through that stage. So I guess we're not alone on this one.^_^

Hi Bj, We did some really strange things when we first got here. Well I created my first discussion in a very nice and elaborate way. 1. I went to the interests tab. (this was the right thing to do) 2. I added a lot of interests (again right) 3. I suddenly had the urge of creating a new interest(wrong move ) 4. I created an interest. 5. Then started a discussion in that interest. The interest and the discussion were created perfectly alright. Now the problem was that, I had no friend at that time and the discussion was in a interest which was brand new and void of any members. So, it got no response. After 9-10 months, a friend here felt pity for me and that discussion and posted a response, although that member did not know anything regarding the topic of discussion.

Yeah, it is like learning to walk once again. You stumble, you fall and then pick yourself up again and continue the process. It makes me smile now, thinking of those times, about a year ago, when I first joined this site.

Hi May, it is indeed difficult to respond to something which does not come under the interests. Unless, it is started by a friend, that discussion is invisible.

Well, I start them in appropriate interest categories as well. I have never really felt the need to start a discussion in the general category. I also average more than 10 responses per discussion thanks to all you people. I love to start discussions and get responses.

Hi Jen, it seems that when you have not chosen any interest they give you the general discussion section. Unfortunately, I added the interests first after creating my account. So, when I started a discussion I did not get the general discussion section. It was down below and I did not see it.

You have hit the JACKPOT. Thanks for stopping by, artistry.
