RE: Master Works Week #1. DAY ONE. I need a steemit intervention
Something came across my feed recently about the author deciding that they needed to focus more on their work than on their momentum and trying to post every day on steemit, something about trying to keep up a post a day thing detracting from their real work.
I did try posting every day for a bit myself and found it too much drama and much easier to just post when I have something to post.
There will be people that look out for your stuff if you need to take longer than 24hrs to come up with something, so just do what you need to do XP
Honestly, I'll probably go back to shit posting if I can't find sponsorship.... as the anxiety/addiction is too much for me right now.
I have spent a lot more than 24 hrs on a lot of my posts only to see them fail terribly. It's just not worth it in comparison to the grinding and thus the addiction.
it's soul destroying, I spent money on almost all my post....some of them quite a bit for rendering out animations etc. Almost no returns....but my latest one, which I posted a link on my original response to your article....made some promising returns......a bit like re ignited my stick and carrot analogy
Early stages it is more about marketing yourself to the whales and dolphins. Sadly I cannot help you do that as I don't have connections myself. But that's something I'd put more effort into as you. Maybe try to talk to few of them in discord.
Sent you another color variation for that painting. Sigh whales... lol I am so not a discord girl... it's my greatest failing as a steemian, I feel. I just never got into it...
You're not the only one who hasn't gotten into discord. Don't despair! ☺
I get it, I'm not a "marketing guy" myself either but that's what I'd focus on in the hopes of making big bucks here. The competition is too harsh to survive otherwise. There was this witness, who's name I don't remember now, but one that was building services and helping the ecosystem greatly, but as he didn't keep the community in the know, he fell from a witness spot. And only at that point he came out and made a post about what he has done for the community.
Currently your posts won't end up in the front of whales eyes and that's what is required or just see if you could help some dolphins or such. There are many paths but they all might require some amounts of that sweet artwatch :) If the platform grows, even half a steem could be worth a nice sum but we all have bills to pay so it's no good. It's a tough spot for sure.
If you're trying for a post a day then definitely do something light and fluffy every day and just have one day once a week or fortnight or freaking month or whatever where you post your masterful sheer brilliance that you will now have time to work on whenever you work on these things because you're not frittering hours trying to come up with something kind of cool to make a daily post out of.
Did any of that make sense? Coz I only just sunk the first coffee XP
Anyway aren't you in TC? The channel on the PAL server is pretty active and occasionally they invade us over in TA or we invade them XD And using the tag might help a bit as well.
