RE: Reputation Score: 62 - In 27 Days & My Next Steemit Goals!
Hey Robert, thanks for a proper presentation of feedback, you see this is something I can work with.
First of all, you are completely right, it is totally not ground breaking, and it is very basic. Yet, this is the kind of information that I notice a lot of people around me don't even know of. Therefore I decided to start with this 'generic information'. Of course, if you have been developing yourself for a while and have been reading books on the topic this must be common sense to you. However, if people haven't this might give them the opportunity to start thinking about stuff differently. That's just a niche that I'm trying to explore, introducing people to self-development :)
I hope that, as followers grow, comments come in etc, I can start to touch more in depth topics, hopefully based on concrete questions coming in from followers, but I will have to see about that.
In any case I fully agree with your opinion about it not being ground-breaking.
When it comes to the bots, I honestly did not know it influences the reputation score, but I do now. I have therefore decided to cut way back on them. I want to use a couple to resteem my posts to get more eyeballs on them. I will though, stop bombarding the posts with votes.
I guess I was mainly influenced by bot owners who gave '5 tips to grow on steemit' or stuff like that, promoting bot services and showing it can help you get traffic. Yet I didn't realise it gives an inflated look and 'undeserved' reputation score feeling to steemians.
So therefore, I'm gonna cut back on the bost and will restrict my daily spending on them, if any, to a minimum.
I'm also new to this niche of doing these types of videos, so I expect to learn a lot as I go along and hope that the value will start to rise above just the 'beginner level' of self-development. I'm mainly strugling with making videos not too long and boring. That is a point I'm concerned about when diving deeper yet I have yet to explore how I can do this anyway without boring everybody to death.
I hope I will learn a lot here and develop myself :)

Thank you Mark. Yes, I understand as it is a growing phase here. Really the curve of learning is pretty steep here. Iam still learning a lot myself.
I do not think what you did was intentional. I think the fact that you seem really driven and also open to listen says a lot about you.
Also the fact that you are taking criticism and embracing it and using it for your own improvement really gives you a lot of credibility. As you are definitely heeding what you preach ( in that video about being "selfish " with criticism). It's good to see someone not just "talk the talk" but also "walk the walk"
So that's really excellent to see. Thanks and I am sure you will do really good here :)
Thanks Robert, I mean I make huge mistakes all the time, but what is the point if I cannot learn from them. I really felt that bots is just what the people do here, but I now understand more about why it is bad.
I'm going to wait a bit for steem to come down compared to SBD, flowing most of my SBD to STEEM and powering up as much as possible. Since I won't need the SBD for bots anymore. :)
