RE: I've been buying more Steem this week
Don't you need 'whales' to notice and interact with your posts to make decent money on here though? Sometimes 5 people upvote me (tumbleweed...) and I get 1 cent.... Then I see articles like yours getting $200... How long did it take you to make this kind of money?
I think it is important for newer users to understand that votes are bought for this post. Just look at the highest voters. The trending page is like the paid adverts you see on other social media.
The use of upvote services is a large part of how steemit works. Is it ethical? Thats for each user to decide.
I only mention this not to be critical of this post but because I think newer users should be informed on what it takes to be a perceived success on this network.
It's a real shame that this is even allowed. I guess I will have to dig deep for the quality true authentic articles rather than this crappy ones which only look popular because people actually spend money pretending they are good (!!!) crazy... Anyway, I do hope that by just writing good articles and upvoting articles I actually GENUINELY like, that I can do well on here and it won't be flooded by a load of fakers. We shall see!
I meant 'the' not 'this' -not related to this article at all :)
Ir probably took him a long time. While it does take either a whale or a lot of people to make big payouts, it still is easier to get one upvote from one whale. However, you never know where five or ten of your superstar followers will be in six months, so you might eventually get a few heavier hitters upvoting you.
yes true. Patience is a virtue. I would rather just keep on posting quality content and naturally make money than take part in any of the fake black hat tactics. This is what brought me to Steemit in the first place, as I believed it would be authentic. Let's see what happens in a few months time!
Hopefully the price goes up, but if not, just buy some more up!
It didn't take him long because he's buying these upvotes. You can look at his wallet, look at the payout, and do the math. It's a mirage. Steemit does indeed have a lot of potential, but if you're trying to use it as a get rich quick scheme, you will fail IMHO.
