I have noticed that some of my friends can post more than 10 discussions in a day. How could they do that? How they get the idea to post so many discussions? I think I am a member with lack idea to post discussions. I prefer to respond to other discussions or comment on other responses rather than make my own discussions. Even, I couldn't posted one discussion everyday. I wish I could posted discussions everyday, but how? How to explore my mind to find any idea and post here?

Hi,
You're getting some good advice from other myLotters. Pay attention to your surroundings is one. What did you experience today? is another.
There are days when I have quite a few things that I can post about. I'll still do research to be sure that it has not already been discussed but the chances of that are slim because my experiences are unique.
Do you have pets? Pay attention to the things they do whether funny or something that may concern you that you need advice on. Check to see if there has been a discussion made and if not - post it.
What do your family and friends talk about? What's going on in the news in your area of the world? What kind of help do you need in certain areas of your life?
Research these things and post them if they haven't been talked about.
To be honest, I can't remember the last time I started a discussion. I have to look it up on my page. I've just been having fun responding to what's out there. I'm relaxed because I don't feel pressured to come up with a topic and oh yes,
my earnings are increasing much faster. One of the little perks of staying active in whatever way works best for you.
Have a great day and I wish you success.

I think I know what you mean when you say you are concerned about the content and how worthy it would be to discuss. I go through that too.
As far as forgetting your ideas, you may want to try carrying a note pad where ever you got and jot down ideas as they come. I do that sometimes.
Keep the faith.

i think this is not really a question to ask, detoya. you may just have forgotten that mylot is a place where we participate in discussions of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING under the sun. but i am not one of them that starts discussions everyday, a lot of discussions. i want to be in concentration to my discussions, to read and comment to each responses that it will get. to have a good conversation with the members who will participate in my discussion. to have a better interaction with my friends. because, i don't think i will just post a discussion just for the sake of earning extra cash.

me either, i want to see a better earning here. but i will not take the risk of getting my discussions deleted only because of similarity to others already posted. i will not post discussions which i think i cannot give my attention to responders. i will rather concentrate in one good quality discussion that i might think today but no way i will follow others to start 10 discussions a day, but never bother to comment back. i see lot of members who do that and i think, they will not earn better than a member who have a good interaction with other members.

I think we won't make similar discussion. For similar topic, the contain must be different. Everybody must have different way in expressing their thought except if we copy and paste other discussion. Moreover, the admin won't delete similar (in topic) discussion.
It's hard to make quality discussion that can catch others attention. I've just learn to make it. Different people, different thought. We think that our discussion will be catch others attention but the others think that our discussion is not interesting. It's not easy. Perhaps, make many friends and to be active in respond to others discussions will give us a chance to get many responses.

I knew that and I don't forget that we can discuss everything here by post discussions, respond to discussions or comment on responses. But I want to do what the others can do. That's why I start this discussion. Perhaps, I could get the answers. When I lack of idea in responding to discussion, I will start my own discussion. Honest, I want make money here and my earning is depend on my contribution. I try to post good quality discussions. I don't want others think that I post or respond to discussions for money only even though money have forced me here.

ya, lets discuss anythings that you interested. dont push you to create any topics that you never like it. you can start from your personal experience or your hobbies. like me, i always started with discussion about soccer and everything about the game and player of football, prediction of the game etc

I've noticed that you are one of my friend that active posted discussions here. Please share to me here more. I think the explanation is not enough only for being natural, write about hobbies, sports, our country. Perhaps, you can tell me more specific so I can catch my ideas and express them in discussions.

Like you, i don't get to post my own discussions always.I spend more time responding to other posts.
There are times when i feel i have something to share,and it becomes easy for me to start a discussion. For me, i think, if i just focus my mind into posting my own discussions, i can post everyday and i can with as many as what comes to my mind.
It's not easy to respond effectively to discussions, and its not easy too to post a discussion for you feel sometimes if what you will discussing will be interesting enough or might offend some people.

Hi de_toya!.
As you can see I am not making many discussion, because I don't have idea what to make.
So I am not push myself to make it, what the point making discussion about the think you don't like.
Thats fun about mylot is you can getting paid by answering discussion only but make sure you don't forget the rule of more than four lines before post.
Have a nice day!.

Yeah, I knew it. We get paid by answering and start discussions. But if I find no discussion to be responded, start my own discussion would be nice. That's why I want to know how to explore our mind and get the ideas. So far, I respond to discussions mostly. I want to do what others can do.

Everyong goes through a mental writing block sometimes. Don't worry about it. It'll pass and pretty soon you'll be posting 20 a day.....

hi de_toya,
I cannot post many discussions a day. Sometimes, I really find it difficult to think of any discussion to start. That is why, most of the time,I am just responding to different topics here. The maximum number of post I have done so far is 3. Sometimes, I cannot post the idea on my mind because other mylotters had posted already that kind of topic. It will be rude if I still post same topic knowing others had posted it already so that I just respond. I am also a busy kind of person. I think, that is one factor why I cannot concentrate for a topic to start here. I really admire people who seems to have very rich ideas on their head.
I think, in order for us to get an idea what to post is that we must first use our power of observation. As we have noticed, many topics here are based on their personal experiences. As for me, I get some ideas on different books that I am reading.When I am also reading some online articles, I got some idea and I post a topic.

If you are started 2 discussions everyday, I think that's good. I even start one discussion is very hard. I've never started discussions regularly. Mostly, I only make response to other discussions or comment on other responses. I will try to look around and try to express it in discussions. Thank you.

Just be natural. Be the natural YOU. Don't try catch up or compare yourself to others. Just be YOU. Let it flow from you naturally.
About my posting here, you will notice I only have few discussions that I have started myself. Most of my activities here are focused on responding to the discussions of others. I have a reason why but I will not disclose it here.

Yes it's me. I want to do what others can do. I just want to be more active despite of just be passive by respond or comment on other discussion. Moreover, respond to discussion is limited by my knowledge. If I can't find the discussions that I think I can respond, I won't make respond. That's mean I can't contribute to mylot and the implication is my earning. So, I thought if I can start my own discussion as well, why not? I can start discussion If I can make responses enough.

To get more idea to talk about on discussion forum, I guess you have to be active in daily reading, and listening from all sources of information. We are living in an information age remember? You have to open up your ear and eyes to your surroundings. That is where the information comes in. You would know what is interesting to you, and what is not. What is the common topic of the day, and what is the boring ones.

As I comment on magtibaygom's response, I want to do what others can do. I just want to be more active despite of just be passive by respond or comment on other discussion.

Moreover, when I have a doubt or idea, I can't post it immediately. I don't have internet connection in my home and my computer has broken for two months. I have to wait till the next morning but usually, I would lose my idea.

I think there are two ways, from your life and from other lotters.
Many things happen around you in a day, pay attention to them, you can find a lot of ideas.
A lot of discussions are posted in myLot a day, what are you thinking while you reading them? Share your think can be also good discussions.
Be a attentive man and Happy lotting!

Hello de_toya
As you can see, I started only 4 or 5 discussions so far. Me as well, like you, actually prefer to respond to the discussions than post a discussion.
I also don't understand why some of us can post that many, it is so hard for me to do this.

hi there,i do think of lots of things like when i was out the streets,the mall,or like school,what's happening around me.there are lots of things i usually think of but sometimes i just can't start it in a discussion.there are lots of things in my mind that i wanted to make a topic of,but sometimes i do feel like i want others to have interest also in it.or like is it kinda boring or funny? there are things to consider to start a topic.well,i do want others also to enjoy responding to my own topic cause i can get to know their opinions on things.
