RE: ORGANIC GROWTH IN STEEMIT: Is this the right strategy for me?

in #steemit7 years ago

I was not sure about robots when I began posting my content. Then I quickly realized that it would take tons of effort and time to get paid what I feel like I deserve. So I started using Minnowsupport (I received an upvote of .15 which is nearly nothing) and I'm looking at the Universal Basic Income too. I Don't know if these are the bots you are talking about, and I have used it only once. To me, I would say I would use these just to push myself off. In the future, I will probably use a lot sbd to promote my content, anyways. Plus, whatever money I make, some part, maybe most of it will go into making more projects and more content to make this a better world (so why not?).

I really dislike having to learn about using bots.. I have spent a lot more time in researching how to use them, which sucks because I could be using this time to grow more food, spend time with my family and friends, creating more art or writing up more articles. Or heck just even living my life, you know? Instead, I have been running around trying to get myself noticed (and trying to do it quickly because of the 6-day payment period). Many would argue that "it's not about the money", but I don't even have a job right now. So putting out a lung (organic growth) to grow here, could and should be the way to get going, right? It makes me wonder about the introverted people because they would have zero chance here. I'm for sure not an extrovert, and have just recently begun to share my thoughts through the platform because I have to (survival of the fittest?).

This is the first article I read from you, but hearing that you sleep less to build up your success just makes me feel so identified with you, because I put TONS of effort into production and have been sleeping less since I joined (I bet you too), to go through the learning curve and also produce content. I'm not good at marketing.. never have been.. So basically we have to take the learning curve on the platform, bots and/or some other projects, produce (I take time), and also market, which is an insane amount of work (you know!) My intro post made $ .03 and I spent nearly a week and a half making the illustrations and writing it. That sucks..

I think that a "random" category of posts could at least give a little random chance to newbies.

Please take care of your health. I really recommend that you look into Dr. Sebi. He was a doctor from Honduras, who cured cancer, diabetes, AIDS, HIV and a lot more stuff. Unfortunately, he died last year in a jail cell where he was put in after they found him carrying $15k at an airport, without a fair trial. I think they did this on purpose. He came out clean. His legacy remains, but I really advice you to research a lot and move carefully if you try to reach them, because I have read that there's been dispute between his family and the people who he worked with (all for the money, as usual).

Sorry for the mess I wrote, I had too many things to say. I really hope we can succeed here. Hey and by the way, I see that you HAVE made some progress since you joined. I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong or what.. but I feel like a slug. Maybe slower that a slug jajaja Perhaps I'm becoming a plant already and haven't realize it yet? ._.

Thank you for supporting me!

Sort:  

I forgot to tell you that I have been really stressed with all this. My jaw has been really tight, my neck and back are stiff, and I have been anxious about it all..

I feel so overwhelmed with all the content that I have to read to follow through and make connections, to go through the learning curves even about other systems like @earthnation. I have 35-50 tabs open on my browser with all sorts of different things that I have on queue (cryptocoins, tutorials, videos, articles). I'm going crazy. And I have tons of work to do on my garden too.

I really want to be able to earn some good money to make my dreams of a greener world come true. We can make it together! :)

Thanks so much for checking out this blog @doodledanga. And thank you for the health tip, I will check on the works of Dr. Sebi.

Regarding the bots, I also use minnowsupport. I'm referring to the bid bots which are prone to abuse because anyone can bid any amount regardless of quality. It's supposed to be a marketing tool but with I'm seeing, it's more like a gamble. You may want to read @lynncoyle1's recent post about this and check out the survey post she has linked there so you can see the opinion of the community.

And I saw your intro, you make great gif/art! You will do well here. It's a matter of using the right tags to. I suggest you look for good artists here and see how they tag their posts and use the tag if appropriate to your subject.

I don't think being introvert would be an issue too because I'm semi introverted I think. And the fact that you replied to me with all these thoughts show that you can connect with other Steemians.

And be careful too not to get drained. The learning will come as you go here. I'm still learning here as well. But yes it takes a lot of time and I have yet to find a way of managing it. Good luck to us!

I'm sorry about my little rant there.. A while after posting that comment, I read about @dorbatim and his perseverence in the platform since August 2017 and I was like :O I really have to stop complaining and just keep up working! lol :) In the lilttle time I have seen my work starting to get a tiny bit of momentum, with some resteems and other mentions, like yours.

Don't worry about it @doodledanga. We all have our own rant moments and it's normal to feel a bit down sometimes. I guess it's part of the process. And it's great that you recognize those achievements you have in a short time. I'll be checking out @dorbatim :)
