RE: The Secret To Success On Steemit: It Isn't Posting Article or Re-Steeming (For Dolphins And Minnows)
Dear @taskmaster4450 I’d like to first say how much I enjoy your writing and I mean that sincerely. I am not a butt kisser and I’m honest. Secondly, I’d like to say how helpful and such a great asset to the steemit community. Please never leave.
That said, I’d like to tell you that I was just having this conversation with someone yesterday and instead of giving me the basic answer it was more like a flippant I’m here for the wrong reason. Well, that wasn’t the case at all. I was actually asking about the breakdown you do kindly supplied in this post.
- I’m guilty of saying the system is rigged. LoL as I’ve seen introductions produce upwards of 500+ dollars, and comments or upvotes with less than mine bring in hundreds of dollars, while mine bring in less than pennies.
- Those that bring in large followings. I’ve been toying with this idea since I have 5k on FB and major network in the First Nation community. I haven’t figured out how to bring this to them yet.
- I’m still not sure how as a new person I’m pushing down my upvote to produce less money?
- I loved the info you shared on comments and the new bot, meaning comments should be like this one I’m wroting now.
- I’ve found I do not always get much of a response in return, therefore, writing like this has not proven very fruitful for me ... yet.
- I’ve also found people comment barely on my posts and at times not very positive. More on the negative.
- I was impressed by the stats info you provided as this gives me a clearer picture of things.
- The breakdown of comments and money is exactly the info I was looking for so many thanks!
- Very helpful to see the difference between SP points, upvotes, etc. with dollar amounts.
Kind regards, Casandra
Thank you @eaglespirit....there are a lot of people on here either who dont know or who do not care. Either way don't let the response of others get you down...you appear to be on a good path to success.
Thank you so much for answering me in detail and giving me more information to look up. It seems like a never ending maze sometimes but it will usually always lead me to good sources and people like yourself. Happy Holidays! (:
I saw you in comments, before I ever saw a post!
IT WORKS! Also, upvoting comments in other people's posts is a great way to get exposure. I also threw out some "seed money" but that was mostly from BTC and ETH gains from outside investments. It is going well!
Whoa thats crazy!! Were you answering me or @taskmaster4450? What is seed money and the investments are going well? Thank you @underground!! xx
I saw you upvoted something of mine from the SteemNow site. LOL My head is doing flippy flops.
I'm talking to YOU lol
"Seed Money" means I just gave some away, but like I said it was from the BTC and ETH run up, I was just lucky to have it. I'm just keeping some cash in the safe bet coins and HODLing. Then I moved it to steem right before it tripled. Lucky, LUCKY! But it seems to be a repeatable pattern. Steem lags BTC and the big coins, but the losses are not as bad with Steem either, during the correction phase. That is not investment advice, just telling the story of how I got lucky so I could do the seed money thing. Ever notice how the resteem bots send you like .001 SBD? It's "seed money" but also they get your attention with the memo ;) I mostly used Discord
Okay, the emoji face is a bit more extreme than what mine actually was, kinda. Thank you for explaining Seed Money, that in actuality means you made a Shit Ton. I am happy you are giving back to the community, since I am seeing after nearly 6 weeks there are all kinds. Do you have a bunker too? Anywherez near Colorado? I may come visit. Just kidding!! We have been in the know for a few years now, but its tough out here. I'm lucky enough to have a good job, but if Sh goes down, I'm out here with my booty sticking out (okay it sticks out even without pure chaos.) No worries on advice, I would accept it willingly. I have only jewels and some Silver, even old First Nation Silver and blankets, a 3 month supply of food, gas and water. I'm about to purchase the gas masks and kevlar vests. I still need land! Guess what I got for Xmas, a Crypto Wallet that looks like a USB stick, yeah, with no investment on it .. yet. So if you have any suggestions for crypto Im all ears. And, em yeah the .001 SBD is sooo exciting that I'm running to work all day to get that Doh Re Mi. I actually like Discord A Lot. I'm learning brother, I'm learning. Thank you for sharing and giving. Big Hugs and Happy New Year!! xx
LOL!
You must have found a "prepper comment" I made somewhere... I have a good friend in LaJunta, have not visited him there yet. He has a lot of stuff and SkillZ, for survival. Might end up there if the SHTF gets bad enough. But I am, for the most part, "Bugging IN" in Indiana. So glad you are in this here 1kSP Program, I am also shadowing you a bit since that is what TaskMaster suggested! It's also great that you are following Max, he's a very accomplished blogger and I am learning LOTS from him. He states many truths about how steemit works, and I'm just amazed that he picked it up so quick!
Do you do Discord, EagleSpirit? It's so much easier than this blog-tag we have been doing :D lol
I am @undeRGRound#7534 on Discord
Yo! I'mma prepper in Homestead Discord. Send me a link .. is it your Discord group? Kinda the same name ... LOL! Yeah, Im in like 6 groups now and toned it down. I got cray cray there for a sec and had about 15. Who's Max and what's shadow? You guys got all this covert stuff goins on ...
I just went to steemnow.com for the first time... I'm confused by it all... I'm a newbie.. So I ain't rich.. Should I vote less?? Or more. Votes is good? Thanks to both of you for this exchange of valuable information by the way.
Also I'm not giving any financial advice but if your sitting on any sbd think about exchanging to steem on the internal market and powering up in order to gradually increase your vote value.
@shai-hulud can you please clarify how the vote value benefits me as opposed to the person i am upvoting?
Thanks
@temitopebanks first your on the right blog to learn those things.
First have a look at the rest of @taskmaster4450 posts, along with @hitmeasap and @fulltimegeek they all have some great articles to help you understand steemit.
If I had to answer I would say vote value is win win for both people.
Let me put it this way if I had the power to reward your question with say $1 does that make you more or less likley to want to engage with me again?
I'm going to guess more likley right which increases my chances of you seeing my content and hopefully something you like and up vote.
See win win its incentivised comunity and content
Thank you thank you!! I will look into all of this more in details. There's so much to learn! I like it. Heheh
@cloestjean thank you for your comment and thanks. I'm glad you were able to gather some info from this post and I wish I could help you with the figures. I'm having a hard time myself. My scale just showed up and that confused me even more. LOL! I'm sure people like @taskmaster4450 will help us.
Hi @cloestjean @taskmaster4450 put this up a few days it should hep give you a better idea of how voting power effects vote value.
Pissing Away hard earned steem or you can check out my wifes article What I learned Today which is her minnow take on voting power after having read the original post.
I am just a couple months ahead of you. Your points are valid, there is an element of "rigged" here but it is livable. Just hang in there, keep being "real" and it will pay off. Following you because of your thoughtful comment, so... you are doing the right thing!
Awww thank you so much @fishculture! I truly appreciate your honesty and encouragement. It's posts like yours that help. I'm happy that there are people who appreciate being Real. Happy holidays. xx
lol this bitmoji cracked me up haahahhahahhahah @eaglespirit
I'm glad you got a kick out of it @temitopebanks! These emojis crack me up too ... xx
"rigged" is just perception, but for most, Perception = Reality...
It is just like real life, one has to figure out the ways and means to get what they want out of it. So in that sense, I guess it is rigged, as much as real life is. The real trick is to figure out how to get noticed! ;)
Please guys, I still do not have any idea how comments generate Steem and how to get more "Steem power". Would anyone care to explain? Cheers!
This is more or less my situation as well.
