RE: "Curating for Dummies" Special Comedy Open Mic Round 8 Edition.
absolutely brilliant, comedic value "Wisdom is a character trait one tends to learn by reading stuff and asking oneself meaningful questions. :)" I love that. ha ha. An I've been so focused on writing, that I forgot to read. So thank you for this post. It's given me the knowledge I need to go read others post. Great writing, really fun to read. Kept my attention throughout. Excellent subject matter. Very informative. "I know that there is a meme over there that is calling your name". "You crack me up" heh heh :) Thanks for the post. I learned allot :)
You should really get involved in some of the communities. Steemit is very hard to get seen without getting to know others. I like your writing as well, you should really look into some of the discord channels.
To be honest it doesn't matter if you write the best of the best work here. If no one sees it, it's all for nothing. Get out there and make some friends, and in a bit of time you will have some people interested in your stuff.
You should check out @comedyopenmic, they run a comedy contest each week. It's fun and you can get to know some people as well. I wish you the best going forward. See you around.
Thanks man, I really appreciate you saying that. before you said it here, I didn't even know that communities on steemit existed. Thats really cool. An a odd way of utilizing the steemit platform. Which works, even though you would think it wouldn't. Also didn't think that the re would be discord channels, so will have to have a look. atm I'm trying to get to a point where I post at least 10 posts a day. But it's so hard. Made it a few days ago to 10. But normally post around 6 posts. But like you say. It's nion impossible to get work seen. So I am so going to take your advice and join some groups. Thank you so much the information is very much appreciated. Because it may have been months or even years before I figured that out for myself.
I would recommend cutting the posts down for each day to maybe a couple, or even just one good one. Take the time you would use fro writing the others and mosey with other Steemians. Read peoples stuff, write good comments, join some discord channels, and engage with the people.
At the end of the day people are interested not so much in content as they are with people. Interesting people with interesting content is a win win situation. It's the only way to really make headway here. Unless of course you want to go the paid vote route, which could work out, but often times just get's in the way of actually finding real followers(There are exceptions to this, if you got the crypto to throw at it, and you are super interesting.).
But pretty much get out and mingle, otherwise who are you really writing for? You gotta earn your audience, and on Steemit really the only long term way is through personal interactions.
If you got the slightest bit of a funny bone, I'd seriously look at @comedyopenmic. It's a fun little insane asylum of talent.
