do u earn more when u respond or....

both,starting or responding to discussions increase your earnings,but in general it all depends on the quality of either the discussion or the response,i was making alot of discussions when i was a new member but now i became a little bit lazy and i just respond to discussions,then i found out that i earn from it the same like starting new discussions,try it by your self,but be satisfactory in your responses

The earnings algorithum is of complex nature. You can't predict it so easily or some simple formula type. The earnings definitly depend upon the quality writing and detailed manner. The discussion or the response should be of authortative and with some usful advise or an information which is worth to be read by other users, with some rareness into it. A raw type reply with no concret thoughts or any advise would not fetch even a single cent. Short replies or incomplete discussions started don't carry any earnings, but some times if it's beyond or out of disussion guidelines then it may get deleted as well as subtraction or earned money too will occur. So read the discussion guidelines where you will understand everything in detail. Do not worry about the earning but enjoy and make others enjoy your participation, this is what mylot expects from you.
