so how do you decide ????

I hope you realise that a 'discussion' is not the same as a question with some answers. If you want to earn from your started topics then you should comment back to those who respond and further the topic. You do not earn anything for the responses that others post, they do. You earn for your own activty and they earn for theirs. Also using 'u' instead of 'you' is not English and as we are told only to use English, it is possibly not earning for you. Having said that, I go all over the place but I use the 'recent' tab most of all as all of the discussions, whether old or new, appear there when they receive activity.

I work through my notifications in my email from mylot and try to answer all my friends discussions first then go on to hot ones and todays tops and new ones but mostly I work in mylots email to me. its so much fun to respond and see the list move down as I respond to all I find interesting and I can add something intelligent to also.

I usually go to my interest and see if there are any new postings that I am interested in then I go to the regular discussion tab. My post really depend on what is going on in my life, or if I have a specific question that has been nagging at me all day. I think that it just depends on my mood really.

Hi there killerbullet!!! Most of the time when I log in here what I am doing is search for an interesting discussion to respond to.And I do this over and over again until I find some ideas for my own discussions.It is actually hard to think sometimes of a discussion of your own that will get the attention of other mylotters.There were also days when I cant even think of a good discussion so what I am doing is just responding to others discussions. Well making my own new discussion really depends on my mood.Sometimes I am really too lazy in making my own posts but then I am doing the best that I can to do so.Well I don't really need to force myself in making discussions whats important is that I am enjoying what i am doing her in mylot.

I go to the new discussion page too and try to browse first according to my interest. I do this because I can relate more and give quality responses if the subject interests me. If I only know a little about the topic, then I'll do some research first and then get back to that discussion later.
