RE: Vlog #58: Communities are already here, they are just invisible.
Hi exyle I think it's pretty hard to find your way in the steemit community as a new member. I'm a member now for about 2 weeks and I finally start to find my way. My first impression was not that positive because nobody was reading my posts. I was really disappointed, not because my posts didn't generate cash, but because I had only 10 views for an article I spent 3 hours on. But now my experience is much better as I start making some friends. Well friends is still a big word but I notice that I start communicating more often with the same people. So I think this is a good start. Also I think its harder to find your way on steemit if your mother language is not English. While I consider my English is not that bad I'm more fluently in my native language which is the same as yours. Well sort of... I'm Belgian. I think you are doing great with these vlogs... I don't have the balls to do it... yet. Keep them comming and enjoy your green egg this afternoon. peace!
Hey! I can totally relate. I have become active for only a week or so, but still no one. And I also don't really have an idea how to do it yet. Are you from the Flemish part? I'm from Limburg. Greets!
Awesome, guys! :) I have followed you both. Is that the same as being friends here? I'm still pretty new to the whole steemit gedoe. :') ;)
Ok everyone - just like @exyle stated - communities are here and although it might be challenging - people find these communities. There is one right here - the Dutch community. I also live in NL although I am not dutch. I will follow you all. Some language regions such as China, Germany, Korea etc. have their own tag - there is not a dutch one as yet however. It is nice to have the option of a community while still having access to everyone else.
I have been daunted by the lack of viewers so I have take a break from blogging while looking around to figure out how to proceed although I have been here since the middle of May. There are many posts providing guidance and tips on how to be successful. I will persevere as I do like this platform. All the best.
Hi @elvya, yes I'm from the flemish part. Actually I'm pretty close to Limburg. I'm from Mol but I live in Geel now. grtz
I am from Holland!! Let's be friends :) see my relatable comment below.
So I made an account like a month ago, but I am really starting to use Steem since a couple of days. I am having the same problem: It took me a long time to make a blog post but now noone seems to read it... I understand from your reply, that it is important to make friends here..
So would you be my friend? :D
Where are you from?
I allready liked your comment which gave you a little bit of dollars! and following you.
This is the article I was talking about: :) https://steemit.com/health/@steamitbeta/cold-showers-are-good-for-your-health It is an article about the positive effects of cold showers. It got 5 views...
I can relate too. It's hard at first when you come here. But I think you should focus more on ''Networking'' here and making friends than just writing ''2 hours long'' posts.
Keep grinding and putting effort into the platform.
You can clearly see just from all the effort you put into this comment you have managed to accumulate $2.39
I joined about 1 month ago and I've been tirelessly working on the platform: commenting and posting and it is all slowly starting to add up.
Growing on steem isn't easy but you are lucky you got in now rather than 1 or 2 years later when steem will be really saturated.
Start off by going over to great people like @exyle who are genuinely nice people and if you make a good, meaningful comment they will tend to check out your profile to reward you for being such a great follower.
I wish you the best of luck @cryptokas
well time will say how it turns out to be in future when billions of users will start using steemit, but it's difficult at first and it gets easier when you get adapt to it.
Fantastic comment. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was happy to read you are slowly finding your place on this platform. It does take time and effort (I guess similar to the real world) to find your way around here. Communicating with others helps a lot. I think your English is perfect.
