RE: The hidden gem to make it on Steem! Maybe better the hidden gem to make Steem great!
Agree
I agree that we need to interact
engagement and interaction important,
And I agree we need to interact with interesting and quality content verses just responding to whales, curators, and witnesses. That can be “sound” advice if all a person wants is money.
We need to support quality content fromeveryone so that steem is worth something and we attract new people.
The more newbies the better. The more content the more interactions and more draw steem has.
If we just respond to whales, then newbies fall away and the value of steem deminishes.
So follow content instead of high reputation , in general, to keep steem going.
And whales need to be voting on newbies so they see a return on their inventment of posting.
Interaction is what makes steem worth the time it takes to post.
We probably all were allured by the money. I have to admit, than more than a week ago, the first thing I did on Steemit was to check my comments, hoping that some did score an upvote. In the last week, I completely shifted things around. I honestly can say, that I don't look back to the comments I did place. First I do check the replies I did get, and if necessary I will reply again! I did not look anymore if the comments did get an upvote. While this is almost nice, it will not give me anything!
I do agree, that we need more communities on Steemit. The more topics are covered, the more people will feel at home!
Good advice.
I do my best to check replies to see if a responce is a possibility due to the nature of it.
I view posts almost like conversations - one post at time conversation 😎
I am learning to enjoy conversing in this manner. It feels like the old days of waiting for a letter in response to the orginal letter.
@fullcoverbetting how is this shift affecting your steemit experience?
To be honest! It makes it more enjoyable. It always considered the money part as a nice side effect, but still it was browsing though my mind. Not that it doesn't do this anymore, I can focus better on the conversation. It is easier to look behind the reputation of the other, cause we all did start at 25!
Yes we did. And increasing in rep is the journey worth taking.
Money complicates things. It adds extra pressure to most activities. By letting go, I find my thoughts flow better and I can writer better comments.
I am framing the steem that is generated from my posts as “confirmation bias” to the quality of my posts. This process is inspiring me to up my game.
Based on your journey, do you have other insights for minnows?
I would combine comments with own posts. Both need each other. If one only write comments, there is no use to follow that person.
Did wrote about post about this long time ago! Many moons ago!
Indeed don’t focusin the money, focus on intaction. Also do register for the engagement contest of @ahb12345.
It gives some kind of motivation!
Also it you have a free witness space available, you could give it to @steemcommunity! The find interaction utmost important!
How do i elect someone for a witness
Go to: https://steemit.com/~witnesses
There you can see the top 50 of witnesses and vote or them. If want to vote for witness outside the 50, you can fill it in!
