Do I have too many Mylot friends?

I'm not sure michelle - I'm trying to figure it out myself. I have been going through and deleting people that really aren't active and haven't replied even once to something I've written or they have not posted anything that really fits into my interests. Just weeding out the ones that aren't really a match for me. I want you to know, because we are "friends", that you do not have to reply to all of my discussions. I do not expect that from my friends - if I see you on the boards from time to time and you pop in to give your opinion or advice on something I've written once every couple of weeks - then that's good enough for me. I know you are active so it's not like you're just fishing for numbers. I think if your friends list is too overwhelming right now, then you should go through and take off the people that you really don't recognize or remember from discussions you've taken part in. To answer your other question - I'm not sure if more friends = more money. But I do think more quality friends will = more money because they will share the same interests with you and naturally want to take part in your discussions. Hope that makes sense.

Oh I think that we should have around 100 as you do need responses to your discussions as this is how you receive more responses and this pays money along with if you receive best response to your discussions I do all of my friends discussions and put out my own as you know and I respond to 50-60 every day this is how I make my money here.

68 friends is a lot to keep up with, especially if some of them post multiple discussions in a day. I have a few friends who post 10 or more discussions on some days, and it's hard to keep up with all of them and everyone else, too. I don't even know how many "active" friends I have, because some of the people have not signed on in a while. Are all of yours active? I usually try to answer all discussions started by my friends if I have something relevant to say. I don't always get to it the day they start the discussion, in fact it make take a day or two. But I do make the effort. I am getting ready to go through my list and delete people who have not been signed in for a month or more, and also people who never respond to any of my discussions. That might lessen your load a little bit. You want to keep a balance, as you say, so that you have time to browse through the other discussions and see what else is going on here.

Hi michelle! It is surely late for me to reply on this discussion but It's better late than nothing at all, I was not been active for quite sometime because it's my uncle's wake I just signed it to check things out and post reply to some of my discussions. I have the same problem with you michelle, I have nearly around 200 and I was planning to short list my friends list later and made some useful revamp on my lists lol! But for me it is much easier to keep at least less than 100 or less so that you can monitor all friends in the lists.

You are right michelle. It is necessary to check the profiles whether they are clean before adding them . I too do the same way. I check their topics for discussion, the topics they have replied Finally, I check their best responses. If i like their profile, I add them.Otherwise, I reject them. you can follow the same methodology also. Cheers Nithya

Ive thought about it too...and i think it's good to limitate your number of friends a bit...otherwise it's impossible to check over all of them, unless you don't eat and you don't sleep and spend 20 hours a day here lol. A good number of them is good because it provides a lot of ratings and answers, but it's good to control it's number to what you're able to manage with the time you have available.

I think that there is no number of friends on mylot is the right amount of friends. The real thing is that how many urs friends like to reply u and how often urs friends reply to urs discussion. I have more than 100 friends but only 10,15 people often reply to my posts or i should say that i see only a single person's replies on my each and every post. I always reply to only my friends posts and always reply to their those posts which attract me. So, the real thing is that how many urs friends reply u.

Mylot friends don't make you anymore money, as far as I know. Friends are a good way to get posts done though. Shoot, 10 friends, answer 3 discuss for each. You might not even have to make your own. Too many friends? maybe if tried to answer everyone.

NO YOU DONT HAVE TOO MANY.

You can never have to many friends. Especially not when they help you make money.
