No intresting Discussion to respond to !!

Yes we earn for responding on the news and blogs too. To be able to view mature content you should got to your 'preferences' at the top of the page and then to 'account information'. I will give you the link so that you can get there sooner: http://www.mylot.com/nr/editprofile.aspx Go to the bottom and tick the box 'view mature content' and then 'update' and you will be able to view it too.

Thanks a lot mydianait I have been looking all over the page a couple of days back and I had been searching that box for over half an hour but still was not able make out how to change my preferences to mature nature I was not expecting such a small box and it was in front of the change password blank so my eyes did not go there, Thanks to you I finally got to know where it was hiding.

Happy to help my friend!

Also, if it is a good discussion that just got buried due to a bunch of discussions being started around the same time, then you can actually draw attention to it and draw in more responses than just your own, especially if the original poster of the discussion comments back and a you start to have a conversation, because the activity will be noticed by other members that might be interested it it as well.

Yes you could always go the no responses tab to respond on discussions to which no one responded, and make the users a little happy and and a little lower their disappointment of getting no responses to their discussion, As you know something is better than nothing.

Going back and seeing if we have any new responses or comments on our own discussions is a great idea. Most of the time we get a notification of a new response on our discussions, but sometimes there are problems with the notifiers and we do not receive them. Also, if someone comes back and adds another comment within a response box, then we generally do not get a notifier for that even when they are working properly. Therefore, it is best to check on a regular basis just to make sure that nobody has commented since you were last there. You can do this by going to your profile page and checking under your "discussions started" to see who responded last without having to open and go through all your discussions.

Yes I do that regularly to see the comments on my responses and comments on responses on which i commented on like this one as you said that we do not get notifiers for those i noticed it just a few days back when mydianait told me that we do not get notifiers for those and I was thinking that there was problem with the mylot notifiers. So I do check them daily and comment on new responses every day that is a good way to pass some time when you do not find any thing interesting to do.

If I just cant find any discussions, I also just got to my old discussions to which I have responded and comment on my responses on which some one else had commented, I did not knew that we could receive notification for that as well I guess I did not focus on the page I guess I will just go there and turn them on now.

There really are a lot of discussions here on mylot and you will get tired responding to the discussions all day which interest as I posted up that I admitted that I was the not in a good mood yesterday to respond to discussions, for me I now Know that whenever do not find any interesting discussions to respond to it means that the problem is with me not mylot, It means that I am not in a good mood that day ...

David, if you do not have many friends, then PointlessQuestions has made a very good suggestion. Also, when you find a person that you enjoy interacting with in the discussions, especially if you have checked out their discussions and like them, then you can always request them as a friend. You do not have to wait for others to request you, but many newer users are sometimes nervous about sending a friend request - don't be. Most of us won't bite. Alamsher - I have most of the notifiers turned "off" for the same reasons that you do. There are some select users that I have notifiers turned "on" for, though. As you get to know people better, then you might want to turn selected ones to "on" as well, because then you do not miss new and interesting discussions. It is never too late to go and respond in a discussion, but if you can get involved when many others are there interacting at the same time, then I am sure you will find it even more fun, informative and profitable.

david15923 I have a lot of friends if you just look at my profile you will know how many i have but i have turned the notification off from all my friends, as they keep on filling my inbox with lots and lots of mail from mylot and most of and i hardly find any discussions in there which interest me and most of the time discussions are not from my interest.

Just go to the top discussions and the hot discussions or the recent discussions. You will find people that aren't your friend and they also have discussions of great interest. I don't have that many friends yet, so that is what I am doing.

I used to go to the tasks a lot, but for quite a long time there weren't any that I was interested in (the ones that I liked doing vanished all of a sudden), so I often forget that I can go there and try to find something to do. Nice suggestion, Ieniemienie.

The Tasks are good way to pass time here, but they pay so much less compared to other sites which pay you to go tasks such a microworkers, they pay a lot more for tasks as compare to mylot tasks. If i had to do tasks I would go to microworkers rather than doing them here.

I have not tried any tasks lately but the tasks here on mylot pay a lot less while the tasks on other sites such as microworkers pay a lot more than mylot tasks as there are certain limits on pay per task on microworkers, but here you can place the task for as much as you want. I never check a lot older discussions I just check discussion which are just 1-2 days old but not more than that.

I could not find anything interesting so i just started my own discussion, and you are right yesterday I was not in a good mood that is why i was not finding any discussion interesting. There are a lot interesting discussions on mylot everyday to respond to, but if you are not in a good mood the most interesting discussions out there wont interest you.

Yes, I have no recourse but just leave and come back the next day.

I have not tried any tasks on mylot for a long time, I will give them a try next time i unable to find something interesting, Youtube is a nice place to pass your time and make your day. I just wanted to know what do you do on mylot if you do not find anything interesting do you just leave it, and come back tomorrow ?

First, we do not get paid per response, because that would imply that every single response earns the same amount. That is true as far as we know, although none of us users really knows (or is supposed to speculate) on how much we earn for what. Second, we do not know how much we get for photos for the same reason that we do not know how much we earn for responses, although I would suspect it would be based on a similar algorithm. Third, just like you are not allowed to copy your responses I would suggest that you do not copy your pictures, either. Forth, the link in the FAQs regarding photos is http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq10.aspx but you cannot upload pictures until your user rating (the number next to your name) is 500 or more.

A rating of 500 I will have a wait a month or two for that, and I know we are not supposed to copy our responses or others responses but there are a lot of discussions created with the topic of how to make money online and there are a lot of copy cats creating the same discussions created some time ago what about that do they get deleted, And how am i supposed to know that some one has already uploaded that photo there are a lot photos being uploaded every day.

Duplicate discussions, especially if they are plagiarized, will be deleted by Admin. They are usually pretty much on top of things, but sometimes it might take a day or two before a duplicate discussion gets deleted, especially if there are a lot of other things going on that require Admin's attention as well. As to how you would know if someone has already uploaded the photo ... as far as I know we are only supposed to upload pictures that are not copyrighted, which usually means that they are our own pictures. Therefore, nobody would have been able to upload them. I have seen pictures that were uploaded with credit given to the original site, such as Wikipedia, but I would not suggest doing that much. Instead, you can just put a link in the response to wherever the picture is located on the Internet if it is not your picture.

You don't have to particpate in new topics! There are thousands of older ones so why not go to those?

Then use the search to find topic that interest you. Insert a word and highlight 'discussions' and make your search. Many will appear and you just take your pcik. It doesn't matter if they are old or recent, you will still earn if you participate in them.

I did that too! Wading through pages and pages of old topics isn't fun either. I've already responded to those that I found interesting.

That is what came to my mind when I could not find any discussion interesting so I just started My own discussion this one. And I see there are a lot of people who have found this discussion to be interesting. But sometimes nothing comes to your mind when you wanna start a discussion you dont have a topic to start with and you dont know what to ask about than what would you do ?

I also go to see what some of my friends have responded to recently, especially the ones that I know like similar discussions as the ones that I do. It is funny, because many times even when we are not intentionally seeking each other out we end up responding to many of the same discussions, which is why I know that sometimes I can find interesting things by seeing what they have been doing.

That is what came to my mind when I could not respond to a discussion and started my own one and after commenting back and forth on my discussion i finally came in the mood to mylot and also responded to a lot other discussions. I guess I was not in the right mood the respond to the discussions at that time.

Much depends on importance we give for our response and importance we give for others discussions. Since I consider this useful I am commenting. Of course much depends on one's own mood. If u start thinking should I labour soooo much for this much only.... then ur interest will go. have a nice day

new user discussions, and giving comments to photos that is something new I never tried I will surely give it a try next time i do not find anything interesting to respond to. Do we earn to comment on photos ? And by the way (203) is not the part of my user name those are my points.

By now I have learnt that the more fun you have on Mylot the more you earn, the less you try to have fun here and the more you go after the money the less you earn, That is what a few senior mylotters have told me. And I am not here just for the money but also for those interesting discussions created every day here and to take the advice from experienced people on the internet. Now it now alamsher007(203), not it is is alamsher(209)

I know (203) is not your name also its not your points though it is you rating. Alam i don't think we should relate everything with money at least on MYLOT because if you think to earn huge amount from it then i should say you are at wrong place try to have a fun over here earnings will follow you automatically.

yes I too do not like those poll discussions or the discussions which i cant post long answers which require only short responses i do not like them I only discussions where I can write something 3-4 lines at least to express myself fully and help the user with the problem, or give him/her a good advice.

Yes, you have to be in the right mood to do just about anything or it will not come out right. If you are not in the mood, then it will be more like work than anything, and when you are not having fun and/or enjoying yourself, then it will seem like you are on here forever and do not earn much money, which can be quite frustrating ... or at least that has been my experience.

You are right PA! If we are not in the mood it becomes a chore and so to speak we do not put our best foot forward, therefore, it is always best to give it a try and if our mood is not up to par then it would be best to take a break come back later and or the next or so. The best thing about myLot is that it never closes, therefore, it is never too late to comment and or respond to any discussions.

I also like doing it, commenting on other people discussions and filling other people discussions with you comments every where i like to do it but sometimes I just get bored of that too. Some times I am just not in the mood to do that.

It was the case with me me yesterday the discussions were interesting but I was not in the mood to reply to them, and I was just feeling a little bit lazy. Today when I came to mylot the same discussions which yesterday could not interest me I responded to most of them, I guess you need to be in a good mood to respond here on mylot.

Things which I find interesting are not supposed to also interest you, that which things interest you, The things which interest me may or may not interest you and the things which interest you may or may not interest me, I would just say in the end that all of it is is just a matter of interests. I hope you get what I mean.

You are absolutely right most of the topics in make extra money are about how to make money online and things similar to that, but why are you only looking in one interest there are a lot of interests to choose from, for example the interest "life" wont have these sort of topics.

I heard some other uses also talking about the site Mypage5, could you please tell me what the site is about and just tell me something about the site, I do not like the tasks as most of the tasks do not pay much while tasks at othe GPT site offer to pay a lot more than mylot tasks.

So what is the minimum payout for this site of yours and how do they offer to pay, do they offer to pay through paypal, what is the minimum payout for the site and do they accept users from all countries, have you been paid by them yet ?

So are you saying that you go through the discussions that do not have any responses to find out whether or not you can answer them and give them advice about a situation that they are having problems solving?

yes, I mean it. Through workshops we can exchange information or advice about someone they met others
