RE: What Keeps You Playing Video Games?
I have been here since September of last year and so far, Steemit has definitely taken over my "Facebook" time. I still frequent Facebook but it is nothing like I used to. I realized I could spend my time there, on Facebook, arguing with people over stupid things, or spend that same time here, on Steemit, discussing topics I care about.
When you are ready to cash out, investigate methods to do so into the currency you are needing. It should not be all that hard.
Thanks, I will definitely do that when I am lucky enough to have a reason to. I don't need to know how this money works yet so I have the blinders on.
I only use groups on fb - I unfollow all my friends and just post in groups about my various causes and issues. I only joined social media at all for my weight loss work and had avoided it until about 2012. Now it sucks time :)
It's so mindless out in the feed, but in the groups people are seeking help usually or offering it so that is where I work. But in the last week, my social media time has been here.
I'm thinking how to promote my posts and Steemit on my other social media now. Some of my accounts are pretty good and have active people on them who just might jump.
That is a good idea. I never thought of unfollowing people and focusing on the grouos where I spend a lot of my, little, Facebook time. I can see how that could save a lot of time from having to sift through tons of pointless status updates that I care nothing about.
lol - I know!!!! This was a breakthrough for me over there. This way you can still be their "friend" but you don't have to see photos of their dog. Most of my fb friends come from groups anyway so I can see what they post in the groups.
I am in close to 700 groups, I think and I have them all bookmarked by type and various other ways. Some only let you promote yourself on certain days for example. Or if I need WordPress help I have all those groups together so I can go in. Etc Etc. I am kind of fanatic when I get into things, so Steemit might take over...
You really need to write these things up in an article offering tips for using Facebook to get stuff done or something. You have some great ideas here.
How nice of you! I'm a big know-it-all lol. My job has always been research not matter what the title.
I will definitely do that post. I know a lot of people here still need to use fb - just like me. I hate the place for what it stands for, but I have connections to over 11 million active people through my groups. That's what keeps me going and I do have a lot of this written up since I coach social media. I have Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and on we go.
My biggest struggle right now is creating the "optimal" post for Steemit. It's freaking me out to to rank so high on Google through Steemit's Alexa ranking. I know my posts here will jump to the top of all fitinfun work from the last 6 long years.
I have over 3000 pieces of content on about 10 platforms out there and I don't want to bury it. I'm sure there is a way to get people to my posts through links on Steemit posts - but I have to add value here - I just can't link or Steemit people will not look or will even down vote me. I'm thinking they rarely jump out so I have to also target wandering non-steemers on google.
So there are two distinct populations to go for at the same time with the same posts. Very interesting!
All the other 20 things I have been working on have been dropped! Thank you, Steemit :)
