What am I doing wrong? Don't seem to get responses.

Hellot Avani. You didn't do anything wrong, just keep trying and keep posting new discussions. I myself posted many discussions here, but only 4 or 5 of them were in daily top dicussions. I also have some discussions with 4 or 5 responces and I think peoples just aren't interested from these topics, so they skiped them and prefer to post in other discussions which are more interesting for them. If you open the 'discussions with no comments' menu, then you will found that there are many discussions wich didn't get even one responce, so don't feel bad and just go on, I mean you must keep posting and keep thinking of an interesting topics. I believe everyone's discussion can get even 100 responces and sometimes when we are starting a new discussion, we think that maybe this one is not that good and you think that maybe you would not receive a big number of answers, but then you find your discussion is in the 'top daily' list and you get many answers. Few days ago I started two discussions. In first discussion (for which I was sure I will get big number of posts) was just a flop. LoL. And the second discussion (for which I was thinking that will get maybe 4/5 responces) I get over 90 responces. What a surprise! So... my opinion is that you just don't give up and keep up the good work. I personally never expected that I could get so many answers, but here that this happens. I always thought that only the leaders here can get as many posts, because they have managed to create a lot of friends here, but obviously everyone here can succeed, even when not expected.

Ha HA HA I am also sailing in the same boat friend. But I think, because my discussions are generally of serious nature, they may be attracting less response. May be we are yet to get pulse of the myLot! Once we do that may be e may get better response. Some thing i am trying is responding to all responses received, if nothing at least acknowledging and thanking for response. Hope that will work. I have sixty friends but i do not get even 10 responses for my discussions. God knows why. If you get some clue how to attract more responses, give me a hint .

Don't feel down. You aren't the only one. I started a few discussions myself and considering the amount of responses I used to get when I was here earlier, I get nothing now. Don't worry...just hang on in there...enjoy your time here ..get to know how people's mind works and make friends who have similar interests as yours. Sine you are pretty new here, it might take a while for people to warm up to your discussions. Ask any of the oldies here...sometimes discussions which didn't get many responses get dug up after a few months or maybe even a year and then it's the 'hottest' discussion!

Believe it or not, my top discussion was about whether one sleeps with a teddy bear. I had no idea it would be wildly popular! Just think about what interests you, and it may be a hit!

I don't know how to help you with this one. I do see some discussions posted under topics that don't have anything to do with the subject of the question. That can be a major problem. The other thing I notice is that I post some things I think are interesting and then there is no response. The next one will be something totally crazy and it will make the day's top discussions! go figure!

Start a lot of your discussions with a questions hehe... I noticed that some discussions that have a lot responses have a silly questions... Or just write a topic that is easy to answer or easily responded... if you have a topic on your mind, search under discussions if its already discussed... Just like you, I am disappointed if I started a discussion with no responses...

avani26, Just don't let the lack of responses discourage you and I am sure it will just get better with time. Beside starting discussion, I am sure you can find a vast number of discussions you can respond to and make more friends here. So, just don't let anything get into your way of enjoying your stay here. Take care and have a nice day.

Hi avani, Now you got more number of responses for this post. This is the beauty of this forum, when we are in trouble everybody will be there with a helping hand. In the beginning I was too in the same position and slowly I become familiar among my friends. Keep responding to others and start your own topics too without getting disturbed by the number of responses. Soon you will be a familiar face among mylot members and will get good number of responses. All the best dear.

avani26 I think I made a discussion just about like this when I was really new there, and an old mylotter told me to just keep responding a lot as I was the new kid on the block, and people here needed to get to know me. she said when they keep seeing myuser name they will think gee this person really is great at responding, I must check her discussions and respond back, and you know it really worked.I started getting a lot of responses after I had done a lot of responding to others too. You probably have great discussions so just hang in and respond often so your user name becomes familiar.Also a trick do not do too many discussions in one day,as that does throw a few people here off. also if you make a lot in a day you can tend to start making smaller and smaller discussions that lose quality from your first more painstaking discussions.I don't think you are doing anything wrong just takes a little time when you are newer.

i never really cared anymore getting many responses. as a 1 year old user of mylot i notice that it is a total turn off if the friends i approved in my list always posts discussions and never even respond to my discussion or even comment on a post i made in their topics. so, if an email alerts me of a topic they started i just delete it. they earn from me and not let me earn from them. am also not saying you're turning out poor quality discussions as i don't get a lot of responses myself but i guess it is plain luck when a lot of mylot users get to spot the discussion you started. only few i guess would go to your account and see what you started. i don't do that personally as am also earning at the same time in other sites in one of my opened tabs. so, ergo, what a mylot user sees a mylot user sometimes answers.

Hi friend, take it easy, as i see this one is going to hit the top discussions, it happens at times, maybe your friends got a little busy.? Don't feel low, it also happens with me at times, sometimes friends aren't able to relate to the topic so they are not able to say much, same thing happens with me, my friends start some discussions and if i feel i can't relate to it then i don't know what to say, i try to answer them, and yeah i don't have much time to come here too, as and when i get the time i come here to see what is going on and reply to others, so don't get hurt about it dear friend, you will eventually start getting responses, just keep posting..

everytime we post topic here dont expect of too much reply from other members as they might not have idea about the topic you posted nor they are not that interested. yu can post as many as you can as it will count as your earnings, the response will not give you earnings anyway as the earning here is per post and not per response from member. so if they will not response then just let it be. what matter is you have post and it will counted as your earnings.

You know, I don't think you are really doing anything wrong. I think the fact is it is pretty much a shot in the dark if any discussion is going to gain some traction to begin with. There are many, many discussions out there. Whenever I do get around to posting discussions, they tend to range in between really successful to if two or three people response, then we can call it a success. It is all about persistence I think. Working hard will allow you to accomplish a lot and get much done. It might be a while before you get too far up of the list. Keep posting discussions as you think of. Eventually one of them is bound to catch I would think. Still as many discussions as there are on this website, it is very, very, easy to get lost in the shuffle.

hi avani, i don't think there is anything wrong with you. only 2 of the 20 discussions i started had more than 20 responses. but that's ok. i'll take this as a learning experience and have fun as i move along. hope you too and have better luck next time.

Hi avani, I think we have a same situation here. My discussions also rarely have more then one page response. That's mean I rarely receive more then 10 responses for my discussions. And I believe my discussions is very interesting topics and should receive more then what I currently have. But .... most of it only receive four or five responses or even less. And most of the responders was not on my friends list. But I knew exactly why that happen. Most of my discussions is about football or soccer for certain countries. I am an avid fan of football and of course for me it is an interesting topic. But it is not the case for my friends. They did not like football (or maybe they did not know anything about it) and they did not give their response. Which is I appreciate it much because I prefer they did not do it rather then they spamming my discussion with something is nothing to do with football. So, it is our friends or any members here to determine whether our discussion is interesting or not and not us as a discussion starter. Sometimes I do started a new discussions that need certain technical ability (like knowledge of the computer system or computer gadgets) and I also did not receive a lot of responses for it. Not everyone of our friends or other members here has that ability and because of it, they can not participate. So, basically, if we want to receive a lot of responses from our discussions, we need to make sure that everybody has an interest on it (not one us) and there are no restriction to participate like technical ability, cultural or demographic restriction. Our discussions should be general and not specific to certain members here. Good luck.

It does happen with every one Avani---few of my discussions manage to get 50 responses--to my surprise the following one hardly get 20 responses which means that the topic we are gonna select should be friendly enough to attract your friends to make a response.so do not loose hope and come up with good posts---i'm sure your friends would start responding to your posts more often after this particular post.great day.

It's okay. Don't be hurt. You are not alone. We also experience that. Think positive. In fact you do better than me. I seldom make it to the 20 responses mark, but it doesn't matter to me. But for you, if you want to make it to the top discussion list, then find a highly controversial topic, post it and buckle up for a long exchange of ideas. Never give up. Soon, you'll make it to the top. Just believe in yourself and have a positive outlook. Happy MyLotting! :)

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

That's normal I think, It's not only you who's experiencing that kind of problem i think.. You just have to pick good topics that anyone can relate to.

I wouldn't get too worked up about it, I get a bit dismayed at times too, and I am lucky if my responses get up to 10 in total and I see a few other who get over 40 responses! :)
