The Old Dog Advises: Should You Resteem? If so How Much?

in #steem7 years ago

Here is a quick follow up to my comprehensive guide for new users from yesterday.

Resteeming Can be a Helpful And a Powerful Tool But be Careful!

I've put some of my thoughts on this matter into this short video. I hope that you find it helpful.

How Can You Find Out Who Resteemed You?

Here's what I do. Go to the site steemworld.org and substitute your username for mine. Once there look for the list of your recent articles. Click on the one that you want to check and you'll see the tabs that I've highlighted below.

Here we can see that this article has been resteemed 20 times and the names of the resteemers appears on the left. Please use steemworld.org it's a great tool!

What About You?

  • Do you resteem?
  • If yes how much?
  • Does it bother you if those you follow resteem too much?

I hope that this article "Should You Resteem? If so How Much?" can help you to find success and happiness on Steemit!

Until next time,

I totally agree with you. I barely resteem to be honest. I mainly have my own posts instead. Thank you that website. seems pretty useful

Yes the website is great!

I resteem very little-- occasionally I'll resteem a particularly promising newcomer's post, I'll resteem warnings and site announcements, once in a while contests and such.

I would probably resteem more if profile feeds had a "hide resteems" tab/option... it just bothers me when I look at someone's page and I really have to scroll and dig to find their content.

Thanks for your input. As a long time blogger that has used other platforms have you seen this feature elsewhere? The comments in this thread seem to indicate a need for one.

What a wonderful tool is Steemworld!

It shows just how powerful the Steemit blockchain is. So much info can be extracted and used!

Resteem could be very good when we resteem a post from a new member which we would like to bring under attention at a bigger number of steemians.
Maybe it could be good to have it limited per day.....
And Yes, seeing more then 10 resteems from one person a day; with all kind of # , doesn’t bring that much attention/effect.

It seems that you have a balance approach.

Yes, I believe in helping other people; so in that case resteem or promote could work out well.
There are on daily base so many new entries, it cant be read.
But that brings me to another thought; maybe it is good that only level 50 or higher are able to resteem,... ?

Wow, what a coincidence. I was thinking the same but might be as I am new on steemit and just joined two days ago so I can think about it as a new member but other than that I agree one should share it if it is valuable.
Followed you to not miss out on the interesting content coming from you side in future and by the way you can check out my post :p
@suf1an

Great post! I’m new here and I feel I’m back in college. So much to learn... I really appreciate you sharing the info and your opinion as well. Happy 2018🎉🎉🎉

Glad that it can be of help!

@kus-knee I really appreciate you checking my post, it just made my day! Little things make a big difference😊 Have an Awesome Day!!!

I have been known to unfollow people who appear to resteem more content than they post. Resteeming is more about sharing content beyond your skills, talents, and knowledge. Too much resteeming, and followers will start to question what unique talents this account is bringing. Many random resteems is a big turn-off for me. I would prefer a single post with a custom review of some great posts to check out.

Balance is the key.

Steemworld is awesome I had no idea when I saw an upvote on my post how much it was like it could be one cent or it could be 2 bucks. Steemworld let me know so I could return those big votes with a bunch of votes and comments and a follow. I love the site

It is an amazing site and it shows the power of the blockchain!

Nice website at steemworld.org It shows a lot of useful information about a steem account.

I've been exploring it more and more. It really is a valuable tool.

Exellent article, I must register

Register? For Steemworld.org? No need for that it's open and free!

Ok I dont Know . Thank you

I'd resteem A LOT more if:
a. I could have a separate tab just for resteems - this could be useful for "saving" posts too which I want to do but can't currently
b. If I truly believe it helped so much. Unfortunately, I feel that a lot of people don't really read. This is bound to change in the future!

How much?
if 1 happens, as much as I want to!!

There is a feature for saving posts if you use the busy.org interface.
