How Often Should I Post on myLot?

While it's okay to post as often as you like, I like to spread my reading between lots of friends I've made here so I usually only read perhaps two posts from one person before moving on. It's great that you feel so comfortable here but maybe, after the first flush of enthusiasm, you might settle down a bit. lol I think a couple of posts a day is about right but that's just my opinion. And a big welcome to myLot! It's a great forum for making friends from all around the world.

It depends on why you joined. The more you post and establish yourself, the more you'll make. You just need to post as often or as little as you're comfortable with. Feel to look around at other discussions, before posting something. Who knows, someone might've already posted a discussion about a topic. And, you can jump into that discussion and strike up a conversation. I personally reply and comment more than I start discussions. But, interactions are interactions all the same.

You should keep in mind that starting a discussion is not suffice. You could post as many discussions as you want in a day. However, your discussions should be such that others could respond and when they respond you should post your comments in such a manner, which leave a scope for further interaction. If you just comment on a response - "Thanks you, I like you idea or I agree with you" that will not generate more comments. If you start say five discussions in a day, then make sure that you post your comments on the responses received. It is not necessary that you have to comment on a response immediately. You could do it as per your convenience. Also, you should respond to discussions started by others, this kind of reciprocation will help you get more responses to your discussions. All the best.

You can post as often as your little heart desires. I love to read and interact, its fun, you will find out soon enough if you have not already.

You can post as much as you like and then comment and interact with others, Once you begin making friends you will enjoy seeing what everyone ie up to and pretty much already know them and enjoy your time more here, Just remember to read about the rules and regulations and it should be no problem for you.

If you have something you find interesting to post; go ahead and post it. Sometimes; I have trouble thinking of something interesting to post.

If there is something you want to post then do it and it should be in accordance with the allowed rules.

Just follow the guidelines..dont see anything about posting too much..I do see some here posting it seems like every 5 minutes (not you)

I post once in two days now. Then I respond to others everyday. I think it depends on how much time you have to be here.

You can post as often as you like. I have not posted for a few days now as I want more interactions with our fellow Mylotters. I said to myself that I will only post when my last discussion has reached 20 responses. I thought that what is the use of keeping on writing a discussion when I get only a few responses.

@Kouponkaren Welcome. That is good that you want to post a lot. I hope you enjoy it here. Post whenever you want to.I used to post more but every so often I post but most of the time I answer other posts.

its Ok. You can post your discussions as you wish. I think its good to do some talking about our personal ideas and express it like comments and likes. I think I have to write some discussions too.

Ultimately you can post as often as you would like. But bear in mind that how you get paid is not by what you post or the comments you leave. You are paid on responses and interactions back to you. For example, you write a post. You get nothing for writing the actual post. But you DO get paid if someone leaves a comment. As well, let's say you read a post and leave a comment. You are not paid for the comment you leave, but for a comment someone leaves to the comment you have left. At least that's the way I understand it. Interaction is what you get paid for. Granted, our activity here is not all about the money. But it's part of it. So, to maximize your time and fun here it is best to give some space between posts so that people can find it and interact with it, and to engage heavily with other's posts. @myklj999 can probably shed more light on whether or not what I said above is true, or can better explain how it works. He's sort of like the resident MyLot guru around here. Some days I think MyLot would be wise to have him on the payroll. lol

I agree with you. Even I am new to this and I have been exploring. Feels great seeing the comments .

I think posting as the spirit moves you is fine. MyLot would probably appreciate it though if the discussions did not violate guidelines.

Posting new discussions is not my thing. I usually jump into other myLotters' discussion and interact with people there. Interaction is the main thing here. And no, it is not a bad thing to post a lot on myLot.

Welcome to mylot Karen. It depends on you totally you can post "n" number of posts here. But the question is would you be able to comment back to the responses you will get on those posts. If you can manage it then you can but if you feel you will not be able to do that then you should not.

It's ok dear. You can post whenever and how much you want. Ignore some people who tell you not to. I generally post 3 everyday as other time goes into replying others posts. Have a good day. Take care

You can post as much as you want, or dont post at all, and just respond to other discussion. It all depends what you want/like. Welcome to myLot

This site has a lot of people who post often. We all have different thoughts, different amounts of time to post, and different lives, so there are always interesting topics and conversations. Not everyone is going to post something that is interesting to everyone here, it's just not possible. I comment on posts I find interesting, when I have the time to do so, as my time is hit and miss. You aren't annoying, keep on doing what you're doing, you're fine. Have a great day!
