Newbie Discussions

I feel it's only because they are not aware of the purpose of my lot and how it works. They must think they can manage without reading the guide and then complain they don't know what to do.

Notifications are made to your e-mail address that you entered when you joined up gagagaohlala as well as on the tabs that binggaling has outlined. Thanks to you both.

With the newbies they really don't know what their supposed to do right off so we must give them a little leeway and encouragement.

Really, you can't earn from your discussions unless someone replies?

No, it's not that way orbit. What i mean is, you won't earn from your discussions even if it has lots of responses , if you don't comment back on those responses.

~I'm hoping there is some misunderstanding here because I think your both right in a way. Orbit03 I see you are reading the responses keep it up. You get paid when you type, I get paid when I type and because it's a discussion site we can talk to each other about things we are interested in. Now I think that's great and interesting. You have a discussion with someone who are interested in the same thing as you and may have or may not have the same view. This is discussed back and fore until it runs out of steam. Don't forget TYPE MORE GET PAID MORE but lets make sure its sensible.

Thanks for your efforts to clarify that the more that is contributed the more you earn. Make useful conversations.

Actually I don't check my e-mail that much. I can see that. I am also doing that actually but I still find it hard to reply to all responders. I try my best to reply though. Thanks gonzales. Happy myLotting too and GOD BLESS ^_^

Hi there! Actually i am also newbie here and i notice that notification is sent on our email..only if you discuss and somebody follow thru with your discussion. You can see also at the homepage of myLot all your discussions made..check If it is not too much..and all your responded discussion was always there at thr sortie..happy myLotting melody and all of you pals

Hi guys, I'm new here, so I haven't created any discussions yet since I don't have any idea what I'm gonna post about, but, is response that important?

We really do want to see them join us and do good here. Some take the advise to heart and seem offended by it but I think most...at least the ones that really do want to do well, appreciate it.

It's really difficult to advise without offending as advice is better when it is asked for not when it is given without request.

Most vets are excellent at giving advice to the newbies although it is obvious they ( the newbies) have not read the guidelines in their eagerness to get into the flow. Yes I can see how you can tell those that will last, more being better for us all.

Hatley is the best model in mylot where newbies can learn a lot. The numbers besides her name is self explanatory and she deserve a trophy, should there be one for jobs well done.

An extra bonus would be nice. We ought to be able to vote on that.

Hatley I hope the newbies read your response, you would have made a good teacher. This is where I was hoping this discussion would go with you more experience members teaching the newbies if only the newbies would stop by.

Actually, this person I'm talking about has been here for years and used to have meaningful discussions. He began disappearing at times, sometimes for weeks, then explained why. His father has a health issue that requires full-time care and he is the caregiver. Now, suddenly, he's flooding myLot with meaningless discussions that are hard to comment on in the first place but he's also not responding to anyone's comments. Maybe he's desperate for money but apparently he's forgotten that he only gets paid for what he types so just creating discussions that he has no intent to respond back to isn't making him any more money than if he simply commented on others discussions. Less, actually, since his discussions are not quality discussions. There are moments when I feel I should send him a private message and remind him of the real reason for myLot's existance but these things are sometimes sorely misunderstood and end up with the person needing the information getting an attitude and pushing that (-) button inappropriately. Just trying to help can backfire and cost you, sometimes.

This was not a full participant just a serial poster. Not what Mylot is about and I think that your actions were quite understandable.

Yes it's easy to upset someone with the written word as it is mightier than the sword.

Haha,yeah.I think there are two discussions where I still haven't chosen the BRs yet,gonna get to it soon. I know they put efforts in and that's why sometimes I feel bad about not leaving a feedback.That's why I say I'm still trying~

At least babyanna you are making an effort and holding a conversation is the best part.

babyanna and binggaliing, it is hard to get back to all responders but they have put in the effort and should receive some recognition. It's the main parts of Mylot that make it what it is, discussions, rating, and best responses which reminds me I have some to do.

hai telmesh. just one thing that make people interest in mylot in first time: big earning. so what we must do is make them our friend, and show them our payment prove. i do that, i guide one of my friend who still confuse about the rule in mylot.

Couldn't agree with you both more. We need to encourage newbies so that they become better and enjoy participating more.

Good on you keep it up it's called co-operating, giving each other a helping hand works the best for all.

It's that way with me as well. I sometimes wonder why some, post a discussion that is a question and then it appears they never return to it or don't indicate that they have.

I think because some people think it a wastage of time because the numbers are not affected but it also added to the earnings.

It's just like driving nobody knows what to right off but practice makes perfect and it's the same here. A little guidance is all that is needed.

I was really trying to get the newbies close to the more experienced so they would know what is expected. Yes we can't always respond to all but as long as we make an effort that's fine and we can always come back to something we've done before.

@bing & telmesh- yup, it is nice that all our discussions are saved on our profile no matter how many of them gets accumulated ^_^ But really, I have experienced one time when I had a hard time commenting to the responses because all of them seem to have the same sense/content. It felt like there is nothing else to say other than "thank you for responding", which I do not want to practice because for sure when I leave a response, getting a comment like thank you is a bit disappointing. Especially if I have thought really hard for that response ^_^ But then again, as mylot faqs said, we are not obligated to thank all our respondents. But of course, it is a polite and a nice thing to do ^_^

You are obviously pleasing the members to be on a nine star already. It's the newbies who have not read the guidelines and are not running their discussions the right way that I was trying to get to. Hopefully to get the more experienced members to teach them so that they can enjoy the site better.

Well your sitting nicely at 86% so you have done really well in such a short time.

Hi Telmesh, I even wonder how I got the 9 star right away, I'm just been here for more than 3 weeks now. I guess, members rated my responses well enough. I am so happy though.

If only that could happen.

Yes aprilsong it is a discussion site to get ideas from others internationally which is what I find exciting. Just to get some idea of how things are for others. There is no point in a one sided discussion.

So simple is it not. That is the most accurate description of what this site is about. There are few except the really experienced that follow it to the letter what a shame.

Sorry but I don't know who you are congratulating with a great tip katie.

I was reluctant to post the discussion as I did not want it to look as though I was newbie bashing which was not my intention. If the newbies came to this discussion as had hoped they would,it would give the oldies more chance to encourage them and guide them to the purpose of Mylot.

Thanks for your response but it is a discussion site and I would respond to your discussion in the hope to have a conversation.
