✴️ ONLY MAKING A FEW BUCKS $$$ ON POSTS? Don't Worry... Each "Upvote" Will Be Valuable!
Complaining will only chase people away, waste your time, and it will never solve your problems ~ Charles Fuchs.
Whats up Steemians, today I wanted to address some of the things that I've been seeing a lot recently on blogs and comment sections.
There are so many people currently complaining on the lack of high upvotes they receive on their posts. 🙇🏼
I totally know where they are coming from, I know how it feels when people spent hours creating an awesome posts and only made $10. 👨🏼💻
However, let's start looking at it in a different way (out of the box thinking).
With the volatility of the Cryptocurrency markets throughout the last couple of months, we have seen the price of Steem trending between $1-1.60. 📊
This has caused our Steemit "Voting Power" to be lower than what we were use to experience just a few months ago. As Steem price rises, so will everyone's voting power.
"So Charles, what does that have to do with anything? I'm just making $5-$10 a post and that sucks!"
Making $5-$10 for a blog post as a Minnow or Dolphin is pretty damn good right now... Let me explain! 💰
For example, what if the price of Steem was to reach $3-$5 at the end of the year?
If that happens, all the hard work you put into all of your blogs, you will actually have made $15-$50 per posts if you just kept your Steem power! 😳
We are all expecting Steemit to make a huge run in 2018 and we can see a price target of $10+.
What if that did happened? ...all of your $3-$5 posts will actually of been $30-$100 if you kept it in Steem Power! 😲
So if you guys are all complaining about just making a few bucks with your posts, you are not seeing the big picture. 👨🏼🏫
Each one of your posts are actually "Huge Payouts" later down the road. Don't become one of those people that quit and look back years from now kicking yourself in the ass with regret. 🤣
With that being said, Never Stop and "Keep on Stackin"! 💞

I'm in steemit for the long ride, @stackin. It doesn't matter if I make $5 on my post today. Like you said long-term view is better and the newly proposed smart media tokens (SMT) would be that which will propel the price of steem to the moon.
I have high hopes too on SMT pushing the price of steem to two digit figure.
Another post that really hit it out of the park @stackin.
That is the outlook I have. So far, most of my posts arent making $5-$10 but I am not discouraged. Even $.30 is going to be worth a lot more in the future. This is what keeps me posting and commenting. I view Steemit as a platform where it all compounds.
I buy some steem and turn it into SP which increased my voting power which brings in more steem since I can vote others who then follow me. At the same time, the ecosystem grows bigger thus becoming more valuable which means my steem gains even more value. I will have to go through the white paper again, but I believe it has a built in compounding effect from three different areas.
Once again, thanks for your insights and willingness to share it with us.
Right. I'm off personal FB now (besides my music page)...I
I'm just tired of the mentality there. Here we have a higher purpose together. Find your tribe here & support each other.
I agree with you. I didn't get rid off my personal FB but since I started Steemit, I barely have the time or any interest going to my FB and checking what is going on. And I think within time, I'll probably get rid of it too. I like how you said, find your Tribe, it sounds cool and I totally agree. I'm building my tribe slowly because it takes time, but I really like here even if I don't see big money yet.
You got this, let’s start building the community the right way 💪🏼🙌🏼💯
YAY :)
I'm may get back on and check in once in a while, family, old friends...
For sure. That is why I go to my FB once a week to connect with family and close friends that live far away.
That’s the right mindset to have, glad we connected on steemit! 😎
For sure, very grateful for you on steemit, you're my biggest inspiration and help since my first days on here.
Well put. I'm stackin' SP and have no reason to stop. The payouts to my posts honestly don't matter much to me at the moment. As long as I'm engaging people and building my network with quality people, I'm a happy fellow!
Great job @finnian! Were all going to happy steemians in 2018!
A penny saved is a penny earned ;) I am happy about any votes I get and will never ask or beg for them and your thinking is the exact reason. What might be worth $0.10 today could be worth $1 in a years time or higher. Keep producing quality, comment on others and you will see your followers and votes increase over time. None of this is over night success there is a ton of work that needs to be put into it just like any business or job.
I agree. Its not always about the money anyway. Isn't it just nice to see people read what you write. I picked up nearly 800 views on a post I made recently but it didn't make anything. I was just happy that it was read by so many lol
The value of steemit is also its downfall - unlike other social media we have to put in the the time and effort to create real value adding content!
Looks like we're all in it for the long haul ^^
Nicely put!
You hit the nail right on the head, play the long term game 😀
Exactly @stacking. Just keep on posting and thinking your net 1$ profit is actually worth 10$ next year (hopefully)
It is really hard and I get it. Even myself with almost 4000 steempower has big problems getting upvotes. I actually lose money on many posts because I use booster and bellyrub etc to get attention. Sometimes it works and I make a few bucks, other times I lose money.
I get that a lot of my stuff is controversial and not as "positive" and yaaaay happy as most steemians want it. Even with almost 1000 followers I sometimes get only 1 or 2 upvotes on a post. :D
But keep it real and keep posting, and with some luck you might 10x it. I agree!
I totally know where you are coming from. Some times its a hit or miss when posting however it still worth it to be very active, you will start building a good base of followers. :)
Some or more like most of my upvotes on my posts have 0 weight on it but that is okay they are the one that follows me all the time and their votes does make my post stands out (I hope)
They get $5 per post and they still complain? Wtf, my posts before only get cents not even make it to a dollar mark and they complain for $5? GREED that's what it is.
Never Stop and "Keep on Stackin"! 💞 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
I wish he was throwing up the money instead haha
upvotes are money....haha 💯 💯 💯
Charles, I agree with the second part of this post. Just think about the current rewards x $10 - $50, be cause it will get there for sure (i'm just not selling before that moment comes)!
The first part I don't agree with. The Steem price does ofcourse influence the post reward but:
This means that there is a lot more rewardpool draining taking place, thus lower postrewards to collect for all of us!
when steem gets powered up its gonna be dancing in the streets. Have no fear it will rise
That’s what I’m talkin about 💯
