RE: Are You New On Steemit? You Really Need To Chill.
Hola. It is not the earnings of experienced 'posters' which cause frustration, it is the lack of votes. How often do you see the more experienced, reading 'newbies' work? I just see lots of 'postings'. Yes, we all have to learn and develop. However, when considerable effort gains only a few votes, it is frustrating! I do not expect to earn much at the moment as I am new. It would be appreciated by us 'newbies' if some interest could be shown by the 'betters'. It would at the very least feel that the effort is worthwhile. X
The same way you do not expect to earn more because you're new, is the same way you shouldn't expect a lot of eyeballs on your post because you're new! These things are connected and interwoven.
I understand what you're saying because I've been there but in truth, nobody owes anyone anything.
Frustrations are normal but you only let it stick if you've got that idea of instant gratification.
The key takeaway from all these is that EVERYTHING takes time. It's frustrating yes but give it time. Keep at it and learn from as many people as possible.
I take it you have not read any of my posts? - my point! I don't expect to be given anything, I will earn my reputation. Surely though, every 'newbie' should gain something positive from the experience. After all, do you not want Steemit to grow with contributors of good content? I just wanted to voice my concerns. Is Steemit not a welcoming community?
Oops! When I try to address these issues and I use "you", I don't really mean you specifically. Anyway trust me I get your points.
Now that we're interacting, of course I'd go ahead to check out your blog eventually. That's also my point - it's very difficult keeping track of the over 800 new accounts daily so you've got to make people notice you by doing things like this - interacting!
I'm hoping you understand my point now.
Steemit is an amazing community tho! And it's exciting to have all this influx of new folks on here.
Yes, I agree, thank you. I do interact fully (as much as I can in the time). I am learning, and from the more experienced. I will never be a really good 'poster' as I have not got the skill set. However, middle of the road will suit me. I will definitely follow your work as I can see that I will learn from you. X
Haha! Guess what I just noticed.
It was your post on pinklady that made this post be. So I actually read your post before knowing who you were lol.
Will be looking out for the next baking tutorial.
Have fun on Steemit. And please don't leave. We love you and want you to stay!
Hola, thank you, you are so kind. I should have posted yesterday but was not really in the mood! Will get on and write them today. I have decided to concentrate on my specialism and just blog the rest about my new life in Spain. I think the Tips are too rigid and take away from the rest of my work. I will continue to post Tips, as and when I think appropriate, but I will complete the second compilation of week's tips first. Again, thank you. X
