Starting a discussion

Thats about when I start discussions too, I have to say so far I think my best one even though there was not alot of responses would be the one I started about Facebook and Teachers. I too feel this is one of the best places on the internet because its nice being able to communicate with others and making great friends along the way. The earning extra knowledge is a big time plus too when your in need of advice or in need of wanting to help others with advice.

Hello, welcome to mylot!. I too think it would be nice if people did comment back on their discussions even if they only have time to do a few responding. Mylot does alert you of any responses left on your discussion through email, but I at times wonder if people make an email account just to sign up for places that can earn ya money and never go back to their email. I on the other hand just got back into mylot about a month ago because I did not have any internet but I was able to check my email though my phone and I have a special folder in my email noted as mylot. Which is where I have about another 700 discussions I can comment on. I try to do that at least once a day with doing 2 discussions in that folder. You are very right on the wasting time part but you could always respond in the hopes of maybe another responder commenting on your response. I have done that many times through a discussion I never wrote. If lets say you responded in the same discussion I did and your response caught my eye and I liked your responses I will first leave my response to the discussion starter and then come back to your response and leave a response to your response. As for earning I'm gonna jump off the high edge and say you make so much for starting the discussion but I wanna say the real earning is from responding and commenting back! Oh another big plus that needs to be remembered is also quality and quantity. Which seems that you do great with both and also another big tip that helps when responding trying to keep the response at least first relating to the discussion which I feel you did a great job at . All in all I hope this all helps you out in the learning of the earning part. Now back to the main part, I agree there is no sense of starting a discussion especially one where your asking advice and such and never come back or to even come back and never respond. I mean really how do we know if any the tips or advice helped if there's no responses. I have to say if people learned what this site is all about then we would have it made because then we could all help each other in everyday life problems.

I never thought of researching profiles of the people who habitually never came back. You just gave me a great idea. I too don't respond to others who don't attempt to make a good quality response. Its hard to respond to those type of people. The way I see it, money making is the icing on the cake...lol. I enjoy Mylot itself and honestly even if they didn't pay or never did I would still come to mylot because its great to make friends and communicate on everyday life topics.

I like both of your responses, I gotta say I always try to start meaningful discussions. Also I will admit sometimes I get bored and just wanna talk with someone so if something pops into my head that I think will get a discussion going with someone on here I will post it. Also I have to say saumitraawasthy has a very good point. If you don't comment on your discussions then it is nothing. I like commenting because of the reason of getting everyone's opinions on the topic. Also aprilsong has a great point too that most posts are worthy of raising and discussing. I just wish I could become of more interest in more topics here.

Thats my reasoning too also to come back, cause if you were to keep typing and make your discussion super long then no one will wanna read it. Now if you keep it medium length but very detailed then you will get responses and then when you comment you then can continue more on to what they said and onto what else you wanted to post.

I agree it would be boring, I tend to try to do one discussion a day because of my slack of having enough time to comment back to everyone! So this way with one discussion up I have more of a chance of responding to each and every comment. I too enjoy commenting back on responses for the same reasons that you have. In fact I have made many new friends that way. I just love Mylot its the best place to be able to communicate with people.

I try to so hard although I will say sometimes I have the habit of starting like 2 or 3 discussions at once and that's when I run into the problem of trying to keep up with all of them especially if each discussion ends up with like 4 or more responses each. Now I'm trying to stick to one discussion at a time or till it seems that the one discussion doesn't get anymore responses.
