Maximise your MyLot earnings! (Part 2: Discussions)

If you have correctly managed your interests, you should see a number of threads which interest you when filtering discussions by 'my interests'.





Again, the key is: participate to accumulate.

Post in threads which interest you; topics about which you have plenty to say.

Why not start your own discussion?
Select an appropriate category for your post, and make it interesting!

To maximise earnings on MyLot, there are two main stragies when responding in discussions.

Quantity

Simply respond to as many threads as possible, in the shortest time.  This can be effective, if you're able to type quickly, use multiple windows and can think of relevant things to say!

However, bear in mind:

  • Say something that encourages a response.
  • You will earn much less per post than if you'd typed out a longer, more detailed response - so if using this strategy, post quickly and post often!
Quality

Choose your discussions wisely: you need to be confident in your approach.

This strategy works best if you can convey passion in what you're saying - such that others feel inclined to respond, rate your own response and develop the discussion further.

Write at length; use advanced sentence structures and a wide vocabulary; again, make sure that what you write encourages a response.

If I were just starting out in MyLot, I would mix the two strategies.

There are initially restrictions on the use of smileys and copy / paste commands, in order to prevent abuse - however, once you've reached certain milestones, you can incorporate these features into your responses.

Quantity, then quality.
