RE: CHAPTER ONE: "Let there be the man, and there was a man; let there be a woman, and there was sex…”
It seems you may have gotten off on the wrong foot here on steemit. This is a very well written story and creative piece. I also read your 48 one and it was good as well, the pictures got you in a little trouble on that one, not citing the source, I take it these are your own photos in this one since steemcleaners hasn't come to screw with you?
Please do everyone a favor, one person asked you to tell which promotional service you used that is ruining your REP for you by posting spam with your account, that service needs exposed so others can steer clear of it.
I think you have some real talent from the two pieces you have written but you need to take things slowly on here and learn the ropes, your hustler mentality you mentioned in 48 will actually be a detriment over here. I am no expert on this platform but I've been here for 7 months and have learned a fair amount. I wish you well, and do let us know the service.
Hi yes so I asked my friend he said he used fiverr. Any idea what that is?
So is steemboy9 your friend who said they would help you promote your self and your posts? I am half way familiar with fiverr, it is a site that people post things they will do for around five bucks or so, like design logos, come up with business names, translate stuff and such. It has no direct tie in to steemit as an app that I am aware of. It does sound like someone is running an add over there and using it to get people who aren't real savvy to steemit.
I mentioned your situation in my daily dose column today, 05/02/18 and the best suggestion was that you might want to just end up ditching this account you created and then start over fresh with a new account. Your REP has taken such a beating that all your comments are now hidden from view and most people won't even click on them to reveal it and see what you have to say.
I believe you are a talented writer you just made some unfortunate errors right from the get go on here, the most important thing on here is to protect your account keys and your REP.
Steemit is not a get rich quick scheme and using services and bid bots isn't the way to go if you are serious about becoming a legitimate member of the steemit community. It takes time and effort to build a following on here. The money will come with the amount of those two things you invest.
When and if you do decide to start fresh there are several mentoring groups for new folks to join. By getting in a group you can meet people, exchange ideas, and they will help with your writing and give you pointers on how to be successful on here.
I will give you one suggestion right here, when ever you get some comment from someone and before you answer it, go take a look at that account and look at the comments that they have been making, if the list of comments are all the same then you know you are dealing with a spammer or a bot. Don't even bother to respond to the comment, you have to learn to sort out what is a real person and only interact with those.
Also read the "terms of service"(TOS) and be familiar with the site rules. A person just can't jump on here and think that they know what is going on here.
Last bit of advice, if steemboy9 is your friend that was going to help you, I would also pass this information on to them, and then I would cut ties with them.
If you do decide to start fresh , look me up as soon as you get a new account, before you post one thing or make one reply to someone and I will help you find the right groups for newbies or as they are know here as "minnows".
You need to reign in your enthusiasm and think before you act here. A little guidance will go a long way and there are people who will help guide you.
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
Yes, I just saw your comment. Yes, I remember it. It's a phone app which my friend did for me. I ll double check and let you guys now. This bot is absurd! Lowered my rating so much!
You made some mistakes and are paying for it. Each person who flagged you for spamming also have to do with your REP being lowered, it wasn't just the steemcleaner bot that lowered your REP. Your account sending out spam to real users is the biggest problem you have and that is the main issue.
