Half a Dozen discussions in a day? how do they get hold of topics for discussion

It amazes me when I see this happen and nearly every day I get a few emails through saying such and such a member has started a discussion, often the total of these out weighing the other emails I get through from myLot. I don’t know how they manage to come up with so many discussions, maybe they have a very creative mind, maybe they just sit there for hours at time brain storming things to discuss or maybe they have spotted discussions from other sites and are rewording them on here, that’s a maybe because I’ve never been inclined to check. Personally I struggle to come up with one discussion a week and to be honest I don’t really want to become a prolific discussion starter. I get more pleasure from responding to other discussions and just having the one current discussion makes it easier to keep up with responding to responses on it. On the rare occasion that I do suddenly get hit with a few ideas for discussions I try to space them out over a few days because I know that I get annoyed, or should that be fed up with, when I just see the same name posting one discussion after another and so don’t want to do the same thing and cause others to get fed up of me.

I don't typically start discussions, primarily because many of the things that I would like to, there have been discussions a hundred times over on the same topic. On some bored occasion, I have been known to make long lists of topics and work my way through them to start discussions. Other times, I will read a variety of local news articles, check youtube, etc. and in my curiousity, need to communicate opinion, I'll also begin a discussion on those topics here. (:

hi kiran, previously i am also posting more than 4 discussions daily for earning money,but now a days i am not doing like that,it is difficulty also if we get more responses,recently i have received more than 60 responses for some discussion,really it is hard to me to give responses to all that responded people,i think instantly and put it as discussion,have a nice day

Hi Kiran...I am with you all the way dear..Infact I too have starting trouble with new discussions and most times I have to rack my brains till it actually creeks before I hit upon a topic for discussion....So I have long since given up this habit and stick to responding to discussions which I feel is less taxing ..he..he..Yes and I have seen that some people really do have the knack of starting simple but good discussions which invite a lot of responses too......Hats off to them.....

Hi kiran, I rarely start a discussion here except when I want an answer for my question or when it is about football. It is hard for me to started a new discussion because most of the time I would think that my discussion did not worth to discussed it. Starting a discussion also required us to spend more time to comment on the responses that we received. It is not good to leave any response without a comment and that is not a discussion after all. But a lot of people here did not realize it. They just start a discussion and never come back. I prefer to start something that I can give my input back after receiving a response from someone. I also prefer to give my response to others discussion. I fund it easier because I can write more then compare to when I need to give a comment from my discussion responses.

Since i'm quite new in mylot, i was also wondering how did fellow mylotters get to start plenty of discussions and get plenty of responses. I shared this experience with my husband and he told me because i'm more of the silent type maybe that is why i have difficulty starting a discussion. Anyways what is important to me is that i enjoy reading and responding to the discussions and have learned new things from them.

Hi Kiran! Very rarely I post two discussions or three successively within a week.I am normaly quite lethargic here but these topics always come to mind very suddenly.I just keep posting a few responses and that is it.But, even if I wish to post many I would find it difficult to respond to all simulataneously .If we definitely want to do this , perhaps we can keep on jotting down topics and then suddenly when the mood strikes us, post them all together.

There are days when I can't think of a single thing, but I tend to take my inspiration from every day occurrences or incidents. My cat is a source of great inspiration at times too :-D

Hi Kiran, I have seen a dozen discussions by some people in one day. But most of them never get back to the responders, they just post their topics and forgetting about it. But the problem is they can’t earn much from their topics. I never started discussions without giving gaps then also I am far behind to give my comments. (I have been not very active for last two weeks due to personal reasons). Still my old discussions are pending for comments. Starting a topic is not really tough but answering to each and every responder is a tedious task and I am failing to do justice to my responders. That is the reason I am not starting any topics now a days.

I may have had one or two days like that, but they are pretty rare....

Dear kiran, don't think about serious discussion. Start light discussions. The subjects may be Alpine to Missile or Bra to Gown. I'm sure you will get many responses. Most of the people interested in light subjects. You can make dozens of light discussions.

POSTING or starting half a dozen discussions is possible especially to those who deal with a lot of things in a day. A discussion can be started just about anything under the sun. However, as a fellow lotter said in one of her responses in a separate discussion, a discussion is different from posting a topic. Most of us though, post topics and not discussions. For it to be a discussion, it should at least be something that other mylotters would be interested in responding, or something that will encourage a kind of conversation and not only a one-deal idea. Many of us create a discussion mainly to earn a little just because you posted. We have to make sure that we will get as many responses as possible and involve ourselves ( as the one who started it) in the conversation or discussion that will arise, thus posting comments, going back to it and reviewing it also.

I think it really takes experience to be able to do that. I myself only posts discussions once in a while, cause like you, I don't really have that much ideas for a new discussion that I know would entails some comments.. I envy those people who can post discussion, and you can sure that it would have a number of comments in a couple of minutes from posting.

I do not think that is a problem with those who try to start each discussion will, if they have ideas and they choose to do something in their style. I try to start discussions when I have time, but it seems that is good to be always here to comment on answers as to keep the discussion alive. I do not think anyone can be against those who start discussion, because if they start talks, what others have to answer .. That is the charm of this site, let people choose what they like best to do here, do not think people make rules, rules are made by Mylot stuff. But it seems that always talks about what some others do here, have the most success, so who knows, knows.

I have been a member here since the site started over 4 years ago. I have been known to start 10 to 15 discussions per day. I use my daily life, it's happenings and family events as discussion material. So it is very easy actually to come up with discussions. I start discussions about my gardening a lot in the spring and summer. I start some about my 4 grandkids and their actions etc. I start discussions about events that happened in my area and on the road as well. There's always something to start a discussion about I feel. IN the past few years I usually start about 5 a day and then only a couple days of the week. As always.... HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Not all of the discussions are great discussions even if they all have atleast a few responses. Sometimes we unintentionally start a discussion on things already discussed, so in that respect I mean it is not original. I think that it's fairly easy to make discussions but some days are better then others. Also some people find that they want to put a lot of thought in their discussions and so will mull over them for a few days until they feel comfortable writing it, or content with what they have written...

Hello, Kiran. No, I don't know how people can do that either. I tend to start 2 - 3 discussions a week on average, and I only start a discussion when I know I'll be around to comment on responses. I think it's more fun to respond to lots of different discussions, as you meet new people and learn new things. And I'd be concerned that people would get fed up of seeing me all over the place as well.

Me too, I do not want to be tagged as spammer. However, there are times that I can think of two questions at the same time that I am really curious to get an answer for. I think it is okay to post several questions for as you as you really care about the answer and not just do it because of the reward.
