Secret of earning on myLot

If we are talking about 'earnings' and 'secrets', I have to say that I have no 'secrets' about 'earning'. It's mostly just luck. I pick what I want to write about by having an idea which worrits my brain until I find the words to let it out. Sometimes the words don't actually say very much about the real idea and often the REAL (and 'secret') point of the discussion only reveals itself in the last sentence (or the first or somewhere - anywhere - in between). I don't usually design my discussions like this - to 'hide' the real point (though sometimes I'm aware of the obfuscation). They just happen because I start off trying to write something sensible and straightforward but then an impish something says that what I really meant to say was something quite different. When that happens, there will be a few who take my topic and turn it into something quite different, go off at a tangent and start a private thread which even I can't follow. At those times, I just have to sit back and say nothing. It's all good, however, because it's all 'interaction'! The other times when I have had a lot of responses have been when some kind friend has recommended my discussion to their followers. I suppose that the discussion must already have something about it which makes those people want to respond because, quite often, discussions have been recommended to me and, having looked at them, I haven't found anything more I could add to them.

I rarely write any discussions but if I do it's normally on some sort of current affairs type topic. A lot of people talk about their daily lives and that seems to go down well.

I mostly interact with others, and write mostly about what's going on in my life, how I feel, and stuff like that. My lot is a good place for that.

LOL - Apparently I haven't figured out who my audience is ... or maybe I just don't have an audience ... because I rarely start a discussion.

Honestly I just interact here and be who i am. I write about things that are happening in my life and I don't know why but it seems to interest people. =)

Today it was easy to find a subject to write about. It probably won't be tomorrow.

This might sound like arrogance but i prefer to write about things that matter to me, world news, books, family life, culture etc and hope that others find my posts interesting or at least worth reading.

OH, that is easy! Just do what many other newbies do... Come here, find a post that is really attracting lots of interest and copy it word for word! You will see more discussion than you can shake a stick at appear! Granted, the discussion won't be on your post, but you will certainly become the talk of myLot for a couple of hours! I simply write about whatever I happen to think of and then wait and see if anyone even notices I even wrote a new post. (So far, all my posts have gotten a minimum of 38 responses... The highest so far was sixty something responses.) I think that happens because I keep showing up on people's discussions but I don't have any new ones so they wait until I post one and then mob it! LOL! (I honestly have no clue why that has happened, but I hope it is because people like me, not because they are trying to "pay me back" for showing up and enjoying what they wrote.) I seldom write a new post for discussions... I have just posted my second one in a week here on myLot, which is extremely unusual. What is even more unusual is that I actually have a third written and ready to post! (Yeah, I will wait a few days before posting it.) I deleted eight? discussions a few weeks ago, leaving only the tutorial I wrote about myLot. (Someone ask me to let him add it to the roster for newbies coming to myLot who had a problem with their inbox being filled from myLot notifications.) It took me six or seven months to post that many discussions, to give an idea of how often I author a new one. If you ever figure out the real way to earning big bucks on this site, Jo Ann, please share that with me... Thank you!

My friend, all I know is fellow myLoters are not interested reading discussions about American politics, especially about Donald Trump and Ted "busted" Cruz!

Don't worry about the articles that you are going to post. Just concentrate on making good responses to their discussions. Surely you will earn more here.

I've given up trying as what I think will be popular rarely is so now I just write what I want mostly. If you learn the secret, let me know. :)

I know what you mean to know is confusing. I have written posts here that I thought was awesome and I get a few looks. Then I write something that maybe only I find interesting and bam 30 or 40 responses. Beats me I guess I will just write what I find interesting and be happy with that.

Since I haven't been on here a super long time, I haven't found a consistent method for choosing topics. They've been pretty random. I really enjoy commenting on other people's discussions. There are many interesting conversations on here.

The secret to earning on Mylot is writing very long responses, make sure that it is a lot of letters and also search tagged discussions, like toy, sun, money and post comments on them.

This makes sense. Some of the discussions I see most popular are all inclusive. That is, something we can all relate to. I am pretty bad at this. I start discussions about liteeally whatever comes to mind and I realize that makes it so some people may not relate and therefore may not respond. It looks like you are getting the hang of it because I can see you have a ton of responses :-) good job!

I write about what is important to me, not to other people. If people like it cool, if they don't...oh well. That means I write about stuff going on in my life and I also write about mental health topics. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things here on MyLot so I haven't been able to tell if my posts really interest people or not.

Wouldn't that be a bit like writing a blog? Mylot is a discussion site and you can cover a variety of your interests here.

I write what is on my heart. I mostly like and comment on other's posts because I don't always think what is on my heart is worth sharing. Have a blessed day.

I also thing that would be very hard to do. I usually write about things that are happening to me or things I am interested in. Someone else is bound to be interested in the same things!

Whenever a thought comes to your mind write it down and share it here. If it is genuine people will read it.
