RE: Call to everyone who wants to reward quality, undervalued content to join my trail
I have a question about views: (I'm really new so go easy on me...) ;)
How is it that one post - of a piece of artwork, say - will get lots of views and votes, and another one a few days later with the same tags and similar piece of art gets next to no views? Are these things just kinda hit and miss?
And is that what curating does - puts a post in front of a bigger audience?
Metallica, huh? Old school - I dig it. :)
Don't worry about view counts. They are irrelevant to your success or spreading the word. View counts only count people logged into Steemit looking at your post.
Second, many of the more powerful steem curators use software and apps to keep their viewing habits secret, so even logged in they won't appear in the view count.
Third, bots can open post thus faking a view. You may see some post with over 3,000 views. Maybe so but maybe people clicked that post or maybe a bot did. The truth is near impossible o figure out.
Don't worry about view counts. Focus on the activity in your comment section, this where and how you will gain followers and after the next hardfork you will see a change in your rewards.
Thanks for the help! I've been meeting some really awesome people on Steemit through comments and chatting. So much fun!
How many views your article will have can depend on many different things including
etc.
One of your posts was probably picked up by a curation guild aimed at discovering new promising authors and helping them stand on their feet. :) My advise is just continue producing great content (I love your stories!) and engage with other users and form bonds. It will pay out eventually. :)
Right now, it's more new school... but Metallica never gets old. :)
Okay, gotcha. Thanks for the info. I didn't even think about the time of day I was posting. And I'm so glad you like my country life adventures! :D It makes me feel awesome to know that someone out there is laughing at/with me. heehee
I really appreciate your help!
You can't really predict when is the best time to post cause it probably varies (you can experiment though).
You can also use steemit.chat to promote your posts.
Steem on! And beware of those crazy turkeys. :D
Heehee thanks!
This is all very true. Us newbies are writing up a storm and it seems like not that many people see it. I think my posts are entertaining and my story educational at times, and certainly just sharing beautiful pics like yesterday is fun too. I do hope people will find me and support since all the steemit money is going to go to plant more trees with our association in Costa Rica!
It is a lot more fun than I expected!
Followed 😊 You have nice content! I'm looking forward to seeing more CR media
