RE: "Dear Dawne" Live Today! - Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure
@davemccoy. Hello fellow truffle :) I have just been going through the list of truffles to see if there were any I liked. I thought this would be 'in the spirit of things' and it looks like it has paid off. This is a fantastic project and very helpful. I have re-steemed your post to play-along but also because it is ace! There are some great post in the truffle list, please help them out because it is hard to get ahead on steemit. ( you obviously know this already, otherwise you wouldn't have written the post.)
Dear Dawne,
I have been here since aug2017 and if it wasn't for @familyprotection(and a bit of perseverance, I must admit) I would have earned next-to-nothing.
I am similar to the second example you gave(600 followers/rank59) That seems a good status, but up until recently I would get very little for a post not tagged with @familyprotection. I put just as much effort into these post as I do with @fp, but the payouts are poor considering others get $$$ for posting a picture or short quote. This isn't envy(well maybe a bot ;), because I have really begun to enjoy blogging. My punctuation is terrible but I try as hard as I can with that. I try to make up for my mistakes with content and using the markdown tool as much as possible. Have a great tutorial for markdown in this link, by @gmuxxx. I have just found the @mspwaves broadcast and it is tied to @minnowsupport. As @fp have been so generous to me and @canadian-coconut helps run the PAL discord group, I thought it right to give back an delegate so of my sp to @minnowsupport. That was only a couple of days ago but I have reaped the benefits. The people there are a great bunch and it caused me to have a very late night listening to the @mspwaves. I would advise anyone to join this community and support these great steemians.
What I would like to ask you, #dawne, is: How do I post moving gifs or images and where can I source them from. I think that I read that they do not appear on the preview but will appear when you post the article. I've not tried it because I lost track of the tutorial. 2nd question is: Can you direct me to anymore good discord channels/groups?
Thank you so much for making this kind of post it helps people like me, a lot!!! I am no good with computers but I am learning fast. See you around some time :)
Hey @article61... Its awesome to see you stop by here! You are welcome anytime and its great to hear the nice words. I will also go to the truffle list and pay you the same courtesy! I will let @goldendawne answer the question you posed to her, but thank you very much for the visit!
Thank you very much, sir. And credit where it is due, so you are more than welcome. I am writing up a thank you post(do one every now and then) and I will certainly give you both a mention. You help make this site unique.
Thank you for the kind words... I am both honored and flattered by them! Please let me know if you do write that post. It is hard for me to see anything in my feed, so I ask (if you can) to just drop a link to any of my posts. I want to see it and to make sure it gets the proper attention!
Also I did stop by the truffle list and I like it. I had a convo with @beeyou already and we have some ideas of things we can do to support that program too!!!
Have a great day and I look forward to your article @article61 :)
Hi @article61, fellow Truffles alumni. One of my posts made it on there too, and as it happened, it was a thank you post. :) Nice meeting you! I'm part of the #newbieresteemday initiative with @davemccoy.
I like the AI logic of truffles and it is a great way to highlight minnows. Unfortunately, what is estimated by truffles does not occur for many of us. My post was estimated around 38 or so but made it to 2 I think. I do like the idea behind it but the problem is many of these posts will never get the exposure to the right people to make it up there. I know @davemccoy says he has a plan. Will be interesting to see another one of his plans.
Hey @beeyou if you get a chance, could you wrap that amazing brain around how they determine what a post will go to? You are far more intelligent than me on algorithms and general computer geek things :P ... And I stress, "when you get a chance" because it is something that can wait a couple of weeks. My plan is a little longer on this one than most of them, so I don't want to take you off of you engagmentfest and distract you tonight! You have many people to delight with your charming personality (including me :D ), but I wanted to mention this before I forget it! ;)
My powerful brain cells may not be able to delve into this one. I took a peek at truffles master's post when truffles stopped by my page. It's Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, and that is above my intelligence level. The concept is in using past high-paid posts as 'training material' for the bot to identify similar posts that are live on steemit.
Some of the things looked at are:
'I used some features that encode the style of the posts, such as number of paragraphs, average words per sentence, or spelling mistakes.'
An estimation is then calculated.
I don't think social factors are used in the consideration, like who you know and what circle of friends you may have, bid-bots used, etc, etc.
That's about all I can say on this one. Python is programming, and that's more Andy's expertise.

did you ever get a chance to look into this issue deeper? I know you have 1 million things to do, so I'm just checking so I can plan for the week ;)
ps... april fools (a few days early)
The force is with you! You got a 22.21% upvote from @steemyoda courtesy of @davemccoy!
I should make time to comment more often. So you can have some fun? ;)
yes of course!!! :P
that is the way to think about my needs, thanks @beeyou glad you want me to have fun! ;)
well we will let your powerful brain cells rest for a few days then. :) .... Because if you can't figure it out, then I have no chance!!! :P
Remember you are the half with the brains, I am the one with the big mouth!!! ;)
And yes I understand this is something that we may need to get Andy involved with, but for now I just want the powerful @beeyou brain cells to recharge and get back their full strength!!!
I hope you enjoy your day off and have a big smile on your face!!! :D
Brain cells need lots and lots more time to rest.
well yeahhh... of course... that's because the bigger they are, the more time it takes to recharge them ;)
Hello @beeyou and thanks for the msg. This idea has really given me faith about where this website is heading. I have written a post about this very issue tonight and I have given this project a huge mention. The work done her is so honourable and forms the spine of this website(Or is it the heart?).
Hopefully see you around.
First congratulations on finding the FP group and tag! I see many posts throughout my daily travels for curating and see how much positive work the posts and authors are making.
Sure can-
Torico has a list here
And this is one I used before to find some great groups
also, I personally LOVE the steem engine group for post-promotion
Most helpful! Thank you @goldendawne this will keep me busy tonight.
Glad I could help- any other Q's feel free to ask away!
