I can't say for sure what's going on! I write both fiction and nonfiction. The fiction takes hours... for example, one chapter of a story I'm doing took 5-6 hours to think up and write out on paper (that's how I think). It took another 2 hrs to transcribe and edit on the comp. I made $21.50. I did another post that took 10 minutes (3 paragraphs) and it made $57.00... go figure. Another thing what's up with "followers" I have over 1000- when it comes to upvoting, I'm lucky to have 50!
I think the point of following someone is that their content will appear in your home-feed, which means you get to personalize the stream there. That doesnt mean that everyone following you will happen to be looking at their feed when you publish and click on your article. 50 upvotes out of 1,000 followers is a 20% response rate, which is actually Unicorn high.
Sorry, I don't want to be a math police, but my fingers are tingeling :D
50 out of 1,000 is 5%
20% out of 1000 would be 200 upvotes
Hopefully I'm not wrong now, that would be pretty embarrassing, when playing police :D
:D
Thanks for the upvote riskdebonair :) , I just posted a post complaining about what's frustrating about Steemit, funny thing is that I got more earnings from this silly comment than my last two posts. It just proved my points a bit more, I'm not complaining. Thanks again riskdebonair ^^
ahahahahahaha.... touche. I divided 1,000 by 50, and didn't go any further than that... Though, I do still think 5% is quite a high response rate...
:P
