RE: Answers To Bid-Bot Questions You Need To Know

in #steemit7 years ago

Thank you for this. As a new Steemian, the whole question of bots is really confusing, and is something I've been starting to look into. I completely agree with your view on not using bots to promote trash, there's way too much of that on here, and it, ultimately, is bad for the reputation of the user.

It's very disheartening as a new Steemian, to put effort in to good content only to have it lost amongst adverts for bots, pointless selfies and endless offers for resteems. Not just that, but endless scrolling, looking for interesting content to curate on amongst this clutter, is also frustrating.

You are quite right about concentrating on producing creative content and working our way up on our merits. When we first join Steemit we expect it to be like other social media sites and quickly learn, that it's those very 'Facebook' habits that we need to break, if we want to make a difference in here.

Keep in mind that this "exposure curve" is the same everywhere. I think steem is the best place to grow right now due to a very accepting community. Join some Discord chat groups and make new friends. This will help get your blog out there faster than posting alone.

100 time yes!

That's really helpful advice, thank you. I have tried to join chat a few times, but it doesn't seem to recognise me. I love this community and have already made some amazing friends, so no matter how long it takes, I don't plan on going anywhere.

That's the right mentality. As a blogger of 15 years I have been on every platform and even created my own. Steemit yielded greater results than any other in the same amount of time.

If you are not in the P.A.L Discord Chat by @minnowsupport make sure to join by clicking that link. <3

Thank you. I'm a first time blogger, as well as a new Steemian, so I think your advice is going to be invaluable. I'll follow that link now.

Great! I write posts to help all bloggers on Steemit be the best they can be. Every Tuesday and Thursday :D

Great. I've followed you and joined the discord group. Thank you so much, I'm really looking forward to getting to know more people and being more involved in the community.
