RE: Hello Steemit Users! Anyone new in here?
how do you get to know that a follower is bot or individual? Also i believe originality and breathrough works are more important than length but most such content is buried under flood of blogs.
Hello @rainsa.
I'm not sure if any "followers" are really bots. From what I understand, bots are involved in UPVOTING, and they are usually identified as bots on their home page or in the comments.
Originality is of course important, but if you make a decent post of original material with only 5–10 paragraphs, it will probably earn only a few cents, or maybe a few dollars.
If, however, you expand the same post to 25 paragraphs or more, ensure that the writing is of great quality, with some photos, graphs, and other images to add some color and visuals to the post, then your post will appear much more professional, and definitely get a better response. And if certain whales see your post, chances are that they will give you a nice, big upvote, and maybe even promote your post.
Of course, there are some Steemians with lots of voting power and lots of followers who might make $10-$20 or more for very short posts. But most short posts earn next to nothing – as a quick glance at any topic feed will clarify.
Hope this helps. Best of luck as you Steem forward.
Oh cool thanks for this information I hope other people also learn something from this like me. I will start making great post with longer and better content in the near future. I hope someday I’ll be some of the big whales also
Thanks for your steem intellect, it will help us with fresh insights into posting. Will you please go through my posts i joined 3 days back and give a feedback because i believe it is quality which should be promoted.
Yeah it get hards to get noticed when our post got burried under flood of blogs and it make it hard for new bloger
Yes, indeed. It's very hard to get noticed. My first month, I spent lots of time making posts of good, relevant content, and since I'm an editor, I made sure the writing was perfect. Most of those early posts got very little response, and were soon lost in the ever-flowing Streeeeeeeeeeeem.
So, I started curating, reading lots of other posts, finding posts that interest me, upvoting them, commenting on them, reading the replies, replying to the replies. Then, slowly but surely, my number of followers started to increase, and my reputation score also started to increase.
Clearly, only posting is not enough. You must also engage in curating, reading, commenting, upvoting. Every day, if possible.
You may not see results immediately; it's a long-term process to build the Steemit community and to build your own community on Steemit.
But eventually, you will notice that your reputation, your followers, and your rewards are all increasing, slowly but surely. Then, you keep plugging away, towards further success.
If you are interested in blogging, etc, Steemit's the finest platform for that. I've been on other platforms and even started my own blog, but self-promotion is not my forte, so I found it impossible to succeed on those sites.
This platform is entirely different. With consistent effort, I've already achieved more "success" than I did on any other platform.
So, I'm simply going to keep posting more and better content, as well as curating. I know I won't be earning a lot of income for the next 6–8 months or more. But it will be very interesting to see how much is in my Steemit Wallet in one year's time.
