RE: My thoughts about WOX Coomunity and UPVU
It's all very interesting. I got started back in 2016 and wasn't able to keep up with content creation in the beginning so I pulled out of steem for a while and had bills to pay so ended up largely cashing out when I was unemployed. It was also frustrating to see that junk content would be making upwards of $200 per post when my paintings might grant me .08-.20 cents. I tried some of the delegation options and some passive reward ideas but ultimately lost faith.
I've been happily back for a long time now, over a year, posting weekly and I think I've come with a different expectation. I'm not really here to make money as the only goal. I enjoy sharing my work and building a community of art lovers and intend to just let my steem power continue to build so I can contribute to the success of others.
In the future I may have to ask you how to accelerate that growth with services like UPVU. In my case I would probably start at 10% and maybe top out around 25-30% so that I can reserve the bulk of my steem voting power for users I follow in the xpilar community.
Great post, lots to think about.
Hi Erik, yes, we are all guided by our financial situation and our capacity. Understandably, it is of benefit to be in right place and right time which the most difficult part without being able to foresee it. The same like in 2011 I was wondering if I should advise my mother to invest her saving into Bitcoin, I have not done it but now I am regretting it. We often remember that me and my husband but he always say because it is not my or ours and if Bitcoin would not reach what it reached they it would be disaster and might ruined my mother.
I am glad to have you around and to see your works. I am also glad that you are open and people getting to learn you as a bloggers and commenter. It is always difficult when you have little of Steem Power. But that was always the case.I think currently what you are doing is the best. You are known among WOX users and try to be active, commenting people and interacting when you have time. Hope that will help you to grow too :)
We shall see! I'm here for the long run this time and I've been so surprised to see some my posts reaching $10-15 which is amazing, I'm looking forward to contributing more as we go on, I like this platform and the people here. It's been lots of fun and I'm so very grateful for the support from people like yourself and bambuka and axeman to name a few. You are all doing a lot to grow this community and be inviting to artists like myself. You have my thanks!
