When people request to be your Mylot friends, how does this work?

When someone asks to be my friend I will generally accept them. I will respond to 1 or 2 of their discussions if they are of interest to me. But I also expect that they will respond to my discussions as well. If anyone on my list of friends does not respond to my discussions, spams, cuts and pastes etc then I will delete them. The only financial benefit from friends is that they will or should also respond to your discussions and as mentioned by caribe earlier, friends often search through all your discussions and will respond to one that has no respones. That brings it up to the top of the discussions and might attract more responses. Of course there is no compulsion for a friend to respond to your discussions, and if they don't it is up to you what they do. Once I have responded to at least one discussion from my friends list each day, if they are responding to mine, then I will go to my own discussions and respond to those who responded. :)

With friends there is a nice option you can select where you can turn on email notifications to when you friend starts a new discssuion. And when they start a new discssion you have a possible discussion that you would like to respond to. That is the only effect it has to your earnings... but of course you could have just found their discussion by looking on the site too. When I first joined I was like you, added anyone and everyone who asked. But once I saw what kind of dicussions they were adding to myLot I had to delete them as most of them were not worth my time. Now when I get an invite to be someones friend, I go and look at all the topics that they have started to see if there is some that I wouldn't mind responding too or if they are just silly discussions. Other than that I don't really believe there is anything more to being a friend with someone. I am sure tht someone will correct me if I am wrong. Good luck with myLot...enjoy

i know that , total of friends can't increase ur earning.so , dont worry about this..Dont think money a lot.. Just make friends..

Friends? who needs them? - We all do, to look at your own discussions and to post quality discussions that you can respond to. Big problem is that a lot of them only want it to be a one way process - ie look at the rubbish they write so that they can earn more. My policy (at the moment) is to approve all the requests then weed them out later, because you won't know how good a friend you've got until you have been friends for a while.

I add some of the people who reply to my topics to my friends list. Then I go through their topics and answer all I can, Hopefully they will do the same for me. That way we both become friends and help each other earn more money.

i also had the same situation like you. i got several (more than 10 requests) requests asking they want to be my friend. i like making friends. with few of them i started sending message and receiving messages. but one interesting thing is i do response to my friend's discussions if that matches my interest. but i don't see anyone of them responded me. may be i am little fool and my friends are little bit more clever. besides you are getting some friends, if they repond your discussion that i guess some way help for your earnings. but i am not sure how, because no where i saw the calculation or discussion how much you can get if someone respond your discussion. people are saying that helps in your earnings, but how ? no one told that.

I think the use of having friend here in Mylot is you can ask your friends some question personally or if you want people in a certain country, have the same interest to respond on your question.

jus be happy that they are ur pen frnz

Yes, u can add as many frnds but u will not be paid for that.U cant see the earnings of others.

if they add you as friends they usually answer your discussions you earn from them

see, this is online world and we are here because of internet and world wide web. in this world of web server people are connected through websites. we call them our friend. you are asking what is the use of making friends here? will you please tell me what is the use of making friends offline and how it works ? same way it works here.

well i think no ... i also started a discussion asking the same.... but no such evidence of any material benefit got.. :p

mylot friends, yes people want to join you as friends as some of them do become your friend and communicate with you not only on here in the discussions but through private messages as I have, and also due to probably you are going to put in put into discussions and responses but it applies mainly to discussions as you will receive an email saying that they have started a discussions so some times it is a good idea to add them so hopefully this has explained a bit more for you.

i m new member so dunno exactly..... have fun!

i dont know how this helps in our earnings. now i have lots of friends too but i dont even know them and some dont seem to respond to my discussions even when i do respond to theirs. i am about to delete them as my friends since they are just crowding up my screen.

no rewards if adding friends is you mean money but as community you can contact them and see their posts

work means have some friends here?? thats what you mean?? if you have accepted some then try to initiate some private messages if they respond well thats good...thats my lot are for to gain friends and at the same time earn a little and be able to share what your opinion on some discussions here...

I to have been mystified by the friends thing here. I have a couple here on mylot ~ they requested me and I accepted. I respond to most all their posts but I don't think they respond to mine. Oh well...lol I just started requesting friends based on what they post...if I like their topics of conversation I will request them as a friend.

every user,s page content 7 link just above the disscusion pad goto friends here u will find some hidden link just below that 7 link line u will come to know about an link named approve new friends request go there and approve them

Making friends with the others is a good job, I think. For me, I appreciate all the relationship, even only in the Internet.It's your right that you accept your friends in mylot but noone aksed you to reply to their posts if they are not suitable for you.
