RE: How a minnow can become a dolphin for a week by leasing steem power - How to lease steem power
That is that type of post I like sharing with newly got approved newbies. This is very excellent as it centers most on how a minnow could feel like a "king" even if it is for a week to know how it feels to be a dolphin. I always appreciate your post and you very passionate about the minnows.
On the other hand, do you really think it would be that easy for a minnow to be convinced that leasing 5000Sp at the cost of 90steem would really be beneficial to them?
Why I said that is because, any are just here for the money, not the future impact of what steemit could really do for them or their communities. To even power up from the little they earn is difficult for some of them but truely the really pointed out the dog and don't I'd you really want to enjoy the lease to the maximum.
I would say YES, lease if you are set to take yourself to the next level
Thank you for sharing this informative post as usual.
You are totally right. Those who are here ONLY for the money will be dissappointed. Only a very small number of people can make a living from blogging. The amount you earn just isn’t high enough for 99.9%.
On the other hand, the monetary rewards ARE important. They are a way of keeping score. They are a way of measuring success compared to others. They are sign of recognition. My first 5 or 10 blogs earned me less that about 12 cents in total. Now I often earn more than $20 per blog. OK, this one isn’t so popular. It’s only making $9. But relatively speaking that 900 times more voted than my first blog.
Those who choose to lease steempower shouldn’t see it as a way to invest 90 and get back 150. Unless they get really lucky (and good), it won’t work like that. Rather the leasing is a way to take yourself to another level. I recommend spreading the votes around with lots of intelligent comments on blogs similar to your own.
It’s a bit like renting the village hall and throwing a giant party for everyone in the village (lease some steem power). Everyone in the village hears there is free beer. (They visit your blog). They come and chat with you (comment on your blog). You buy them beer (give them a vote). It will cost you money, but after the party loads of people will remember you as the guy who throws parties (They will follow you). They will greet you in the street (they notice your next blog). They will always invite you to their parties. (You have steemit friends. You are part of the steemit community. When you comment their blog, they will vote for you, because you are a friend).
Yes spammers are a problem for some bloggers who are very popular. I tend to give out a couple of 1% flags, (it does no harm at all), to blatant spammers, and the rest stay away.
You are absolutely correct and there is a saying that goes thus, "no pain no gain" life is all about risk if you really want to be successful. I think leasing steem power is a very good way to go for someone that wants to create a trademark for him or herself on steemit.
Lol! The village illustration you used is very nice and funny because things like that happens here in Africa a lot. Have you been to Africa before? A lovely country with good people at heart.
