RE: FUTURE OF STEEMIT (Specially for Photographers)
Great post @jarvie, so many good points.
The photo community is tiny here for a reason. IMO people have somewhat of a superiority complex when it comes to steemit and photos and what is and isn't value. People see some posting a photos as low value. Very rarely are great photos here rewarded. Few understand the work that goes into one photo sometimes.
I totally agree about the sign-up process for steemit. There needs to be something done. Wait times are too long.
On the other hand... who's here to reward them? We are small in numbers.
People get a taste of a @Curie vote or a @cryptoctopus vote and think that should be the norm.
In my previous post I talked about how the mentality should be working on the 4Cs and starting looking at the baseline minimum your posts make as being the target for growth.
I think photographers should stop thinking their photos are worth $100 because they posted something amazing. I make 1-2 steem minimum on a post and success for me is moving that to 2-4 then 4-8. .... BY WORK.
Jumps of that are just bonuses.
And this idea that you work hard and get to 1 steem per post isn't appealing then early adopter steemit is not for them. They need to adjust the mentality. Curie/travelfeed/photofeed won't pay their bills consistently They need to work on all 4Cs
They need to see it more as a long term investment and not if i spend 1hr on this picture I expect to make this much at the end of 7days.
All great points and great a way to look at the topic. 🍻
