Results of my MyLot experiment for today

I had some free time this morning, and decided to see what happened if I didn't post, but spent an hour or two visiting others posts and leaving comments. When people commented on my comments, I commented back, but I resisted the temptation to post.
The results revealed that you can do OK here without posting. I got about 2/3 of the number of comments I get when I post something, and made about 2/3 of what I make when I post something in the morning and then comment away before leaving for work.
Of course, things died off as soon as I left for work, but it was still an interesting experiment. Do you ever conduct similar "experiments"? I'm off to band practice now (it's 7 PM California time), so I won't be able to comment on comments until I get back.
But I will.

@owlandbutterfly You might try influencing our election on March 2, but only if you're going to turn things round so that my guy wins.

Oh, if only it could have an impact on the election results here... I imagine we wouldn't be quite the laughingstock we currently are if that were the case!

@xFiacre Shoot, I wouldn't even know where to begin on that one.

I am in North Carolina, time zone wise I am an hour ahead of "mylot" time. Generally speaking I am online when people from the UK are just waking and finishing breakfast and coming online. This is also about the time that those in the Phillippines are finishing their shifts of work and coming home to mylot.
This is also "the spamming hour" as a lot of almost bot type accounts come to play.
Anyway, what I was getting at is a "time of day" experiment might be fun but it all boils down to who you have always interacted with the most. Even if you were to conduct different experiments, the results would most likely be tainted because those who would be most likely to respond are those who have communicated with you the most...

I often go a month or so without posting a discussion and I make payout nearly always.

Meh.
I've done it in the past. Now I tend to stick to only a few people that I am in constant mylot conversations with here. I have fun and that's what I care about.
Sure the money comes in handy, but I don't try to earn more or experiment on what works best.

I don't know if I should make an experiment. For me, the idea here is having conversation with people even if it's a bit short.

@TheHorse That's exactly what it boils down to!

Someone told me days ago that she had earned about the same without posting.

It works because you earn from comments not from posting. I have done that bu I like to post at least once a day. I come here to express myself!!!!

I notice that my bank does move even on a day that I don't post a discussion. It seems to be the interactions that matter the most.

@TheHorse I think what makes Mylot stand out are these "interactions" like the one happening on this very post. Here we keep on discussing and share so much!
It also takes away oyr minds from our daily grinds, disappointments and tiredness.

I have done stuff like that and learned a few thing, I do best when I post 1-2 times a day, but those posts are spaced out in time, and the rest of the day is reading new stuff and responding to whatever needs to be responded too.

@Jessicalynnt I just ignore that kind of poster. They tend to do the "What is your favorite color? Mine is red because red means passion" kind of post.

I just got back to mylot last night. Have not been experimenting. But I will go back here to write and interact as much as I can.

There's a notable difference between the different types of activity, isn't there? 
Here's another challenge for you: concentrate your activity in just a few places. It doesn't matter if it's your discussion or one that someone else started, but it has an interesting effect on earnings, too. It seems that it's easier to get interactions on individual posts when it's all in one (interesting) place.

I have in the past but they never gave me the results I was looking for the results were always different each time. I think it frustrated me more leaving me with more questions than answers so I stopped.
Today I was busy all day and didn't really have much time til now to really interact with everyone.

Indeed, this discussion itself has fetched you a lot of responses and people seemed to have sit up and noticed it a lot.

Good luck with your band practice. You look very serious there has someone interrupted your reading?

@TheHorse Was that a recent picture of you reading? I figured it was you but I wasn't sure how long ago it may have been taken.

I have just recently noticed how much more money you get by posting every day but i'm stuck because I don't have the time and I am so far behind on returning comments I an lost.. But it will get done - some day.

I guess to me it's all one long experiment. I do have a specific one in mind to try out soon, though...

No, I just post whenever the mood strikes me. Very interesting, though.
