RE: 888 Followers - Time for a Festive Season Giveaway for all my followers
Is it even possible to interact with all your followers? I have far less followers and find it hard to visit their blogs on a regular basis. I don't think is so much taking them for granted as it is a lack of time. I usually have to choose whether I spend my free time writing a post or visiting and upvoting.
I am a quarter way through visiting them all now. It is an extremely interesting exercise to explore the diversity of people on steemit.
It is also just a little depressing to see a) how many are no longer active, and b) how many are just putting out junk posts...
I'm keeping a log of it all so will have some interesting stats at the end.
Very cool, I am looking forward to the conclusions you can draw from your research if I can call it that.
👍
and @canadianrenegade - thanks to this little conversation it's just dawned on me what a great idea working through yr followers is... I've just been experimenting with auto upvote bots (hands up - although in fairness it somewhere between self-interest and a sociological investigation) but I much prefer the interaction....
If you're into the money, I've found a couple of big players who seem to regularly upvote decent comments ($1 per comment) so there is money in it if you need to earn a living. Obviously you have to maintain integrity here.
Also I'm now going back through the people I follow and culling - narrowing your focus I think is useful.
On a purely cynical (and this can't be abuse because in some ways it's what the founders and the big boys here do ) if you found a couple of friends (or 5friends, 10 friends) and you all invested $5-10K in the platform and just made regular posts/ comments/ upvotes between you for a couple of hours a day (and of course you can do outra-group interaction too) well...
There's your bacon, right there.
I think you are on to something here. There is definitely value to finding out who your real supporters are and concentrating more on interacting with them. Rather then more of a shotgun approach.
How did you find using the upvote bots? There are a few people who I follow who put out consistent quality that I would like to just autovote because sometimes I just don't have the time to look through my feed and I miss giving them support.
Steemfollower is what you want - it seems to be working nicely - I'm partly returning a favour to a local guy who kindly auto-upvotes every post of mine.
Hi - I see you've discovered this excellent blog too - congratulations on making the short list on the 2017 video competition btw!
I have been following this one for awhile but like I said in an earlier reply with a full time job and infant twins plus getting things together for the homestead I just don't have the time to keep up with everything.
As for the video thanks! I actually am surprised to not see yours on the list. I thought it was pretty good.
Sounds like you've got your hands full.
I had to resist going into a big rant about not getting something out of that video contest - on effort and originality I clearly outranked most people on that 10 steem list. Still, it was partly an experiment - I know sociology is not popular in an individualised society - it hurts people's heads too much!
Anyways, onwards and upwards, and hopefully to the hills someday.
