It will be interesting to see, @gillianpearce

I'll make an effort when I get back from the beach @madlenfox but I'm not sure how much time I'll have to sort out the photographs. We will see. 😁

Oh! I wish you a good rest!!! Relax on the beach - it's wonderful :)

I'm taking a notepad and pen with me to brainstorm some ideas about what I want to do here. Maybe sell some art in the Steem Shop, for example.

I'd also like to get a better understanding of where my earnings are coming from so I can try and be more efficient.

I would like to try and find some ways to spend less time on the computer without my earnings suffering! 😁

Steem Shop? I don't know anything about him. :(
Yeah, I agree that I'm spending too much time on this, too. My interest is starting to fade. I see that my efforts do not match the results. No matter how I do it - good or bad - it still has the same result. Sadly

I agree @madlenfox. It's a lot of work and the amount of effort you put in doesn't seem to make much difference.

What was it like when you first joined steemit? The Steem price was even lower then but you must have kept going.

What do you think is different nowadays?

Yes, I remember that time well. At that time, us tried to teach everything, even how to communicate, how to write posts, what should be their design. For us, as for beginners, various competitions were organized. I felt supported here. We felt needed to be here. I saw that everyone believed that everything would be cool. Now I don't feel it anymore. But us there weren't that many. I remember 200,000, then 400,000, then 500,000. It's not like that at all. Somewhere disappeared this Patriotic spirit. Someone I saw at that time, they have already left at all, others just reset the score to a minimum and just keep afloat, but without much enthusiasm ( for example, it was 12 000.00 SP and left 500.00). Some, not caring about the idea, just began to increase their capital in all possible ways, not paying attention to anything (buying bots, buying votes). Я слышу все больше и больше, что люди перестали верить в это сообщество. Печаль...
But I'm still here, heh.
I think money is the defining word here. Of course not all people, but most. I can see where some of the people who came much later than me are now. They are far ahead, because we had different goals. I must have been wrong

I don't think you were wrong @madlenfox but I think we need to change and adapt depending on the current circumstances.

When I started I thought I would be able to earn a decent amount of Steem Power through blogging alone. I not longer believe that, at least not in return for the effort I'm putting in.

I don't know what my actual figures on but I'm looking to find out. I would like to know how much SP I earn through posting and how much commenting. Because I spread my vote out a lot I earn next to nothing for curating so I won't even consider that.

I can't see the point in using bidbots since they just seem to cost people money rather than earn it.

And, at the moment my vote is too small so as to make self voting worth it. I can earn more by being in Asher's Engagement Leagues but I think I will be scaling down.

I'm not really bothered about the US dollar amount at this point but I do want to maximise the Steem Power I'm earning and be more efficient at that. So I'm taking some time to look at my figures and decide where I want to go from here.

I think it's important to decide what you want to get from the platform and go for it. Otherwise it just becomes a chore which it was starting to feel for me.

It goes in peaks and troughs though but I'm keen to reduce my time at the computer so I need to reassess.

I hope it picks up again for you soon. 😍
