Is there any difference in the earnings of those who respond to discussions in detail and those who write short responses and comments. I mean,are long responses and comments paid more than what short responses and comments do?

If you make a short quality response that others will interact with, you will earn from it. If you make a long, meaningless, off topic response you will not. Length is not the determining factor in earning and neither is the frequency of your posts, responses and comments. Just do your best to engage others in interactions.

@GardenGerty,I have understood what you mean.All our posts should be relevant,quality ones.Length doesn't matter.Nor do the frequency of posts.We are expected to 'attract' others to interact with us.

Please read what is said in the Earnings Program FAQs - look under "Help" next to your username at top left. Your earnings are not related to how much or what you post (though you must post something to earn at all). They depend on how people interact with what you post. Obviously, it will encourage people to interact with you more if you make good quality, relevant, interesting and informative responses and comments.

@owlwings,Sorry.I read mylot earning program.We earn here according to how others interact with us.It's the 'quality' of interaction that determines our earnings.Am I right?

I guess what actually matters is the capacity your post has in getting response from others , the length does not matter ..

@kran8,You are right.@owlwings has made everything amply clear to me.It is,say,the 'quality' of interaction,not the length of responses and comments, that determines how much we get.Responses must be relevant and to the point.They should also be able to prompt others to respond.That's what determines our earnings.

I also understand that short response will not make any difference in your earning.

@else34 Thanks for detailed explanation. Yes I agree that the response should be related to the topic. Off-topic response is a type of spam.

@iampanddy,Length of responses and comments do not matter.It is the 'quality',the capability of the response to prompt others to respond that's important.This is what determines our earnings.Your response should be related to the subject being discussed,it should not deviate from the topic.

As long as your comment is substantial then having the long or short doesn't matter in order to earn . Some may have lengthy comments but when you read them , they are just beating around the bush .

@SIMPLYD,You are right.Length of responses and comments do not matter.The 'quality' of it does.And quality means it's capability to prompt others to respond and its relevance to the subject under discussion.Briefly speaking,a response should be concentrated on discussing the topic of the post.

I guess it's not about how long or how short your responses are, as long as they are sensible enough and can invite more comments then it should be okay.

@Ryanskie,Right.I have now understood it.It is,say,the 'quality' of interaction that matters.It is the meaningful,relevant interaction that determines how much we earn.Thanks a lot for commenting.

I don't think so.. Anyway if you write very short post or responses people may not respond favorably to your post or responses.

@sofssu,Exactly.@owlwings has made it very clear.My earnings depend on how people interact with me.And people would respond favourably only if I leave a rather detailed response to their discussions.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was. We really don't know how this works, all that's been said is that it's an algorithm so I really wouldn't be surprised if longer responses "pay" more.

@Bellatricks,No,no,if you see what @owlwings has said in a comment below,you will know it is not the length,but the 'quality' of responses that matters.I don't think he is wrong.
