RE: How To Build And Engaging Audience By Thinking Out Of The Box
In the beginning I made the mistake of simply following everyone who wrote a good article. As a result, my feed is so cluttered with things I’m not interested in that I never use it. I’ve set a few people I really want to follow in Gina on Discord.
I once started to trim down my list of people I follow, but it was actually a slow and boring task, so I gave up pretty quickly.
I should really make time for it, though.
(Although I think I know so many people by now my list would still be very long)
Conclusion: I’m the worst follower in the world. I’m the one you don’t want.
Oh, I don't know. It's working out pretty good so far. :)
I have a few people set up on GINAbot, but I probably should get back in there and revamp it. I'm currently following only 30 people. I learned my lesson on Twitter. And since this is much more long form, ability to write and subject matter is more important. I'm not in it for a meme or a link to an article somewhere.
Well, maybe one of these days you'll get to start pruning your list. Probably about the same time you can get to gardening and other things. Light at the end of the tunnel is up ahead there somewhere. We can only hope it's sooner than later. :)
Are you writing all these comments only below posts from about 30 Steemonians?
I don't know. I haven't been keeping track of that. I've been trying to get out to wherever I can, so when posts come in on my own feed and I feel like I can contribute to them, I comment. Otherwise, when those run out, I'm looking for other posts.
So, haven't been purposefully doing anything as far as how many different users' posts I comment on. Why do you ask? Have you been keeping track for me? :)
To be honest I didn't really check you out yet. But you're on my list, together with 322 other items to do.
I just like numbers and analyzing. So I figured it would be like a miracle of you only follow 30 people and then write hundreds of comments per week. In the other hand, sometimes we need only one post to write like 10+ comments.
Well, okay. If I had to guess, the circle I tend to comment on is not quite as wide as the one I end up voting in. My vote circle has been over a 100 that last two times out, so my comment circle is probably somewhat less than that, like somewhere between 80-100. Again, a guess. I only keep track of the number of votes and the number comments.
Talking about numbers, there is something else I wonder about. Did you invest any first money in Steem?
If I remember well, you have much more SP as @lynncoyle1. However I still believe that both of you are somewhat undervalued. And probably a few more of the top commenters.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'first' but yes, I did invest some money in STEEM. I was getting tired of dropping dust votes on everything (before I even knew what dust votes were), so I decided to start investing. I did it over the course of three months. So, the bulk of what you see in my wallet is investment.
I meant fiat money. Something went wrong when typing the previous comment on my phone. I use some kind of auto correct keyboard and that changed the word into something out shouldn't be.
So to bad, cause again someone that delivers a really good thing to Steemit is basically almost not rewarded. I checked your rewards and last week you earned 5 Steem and 20 SBD. So if that's your average you basically earn 20-25 Steem per week. I think there are quite some people that earn the same amount for 1 or 2 posts.
Also your numbers of followers is really low. You could say that's because your comment strategy is not really meant to build up a following. But I would say this is a bit of prove that commenting just a lot will not always bring you anything in terms of a big following and financial rewards.
True! Let’s hope sooner :0)
I also started to unfollow people. Sometimes it's quite difficult as I don't know why I started to follow someone. And I also didn't want to unfollow Dutch speaking Steemonians. But as of this week I'm also unfollowing Dutch speaking. Cause otherwise I would keep to many.
I think I went down from 275 to 200. And I will continue until I'm below 100. As I hope that will be doable.
Someone gave me the advice to
Unfollow all people you don’t immediately recognize them name frm. I’m still in doubt whether that was good advice...
i’d still be far over 100, I guess
I first unfollow people that really spam my feed. In 1 or 2 weeks I might try to go through the remaining list and recognize names that I can also wipe out. Before I do I will shortly check their profiles. In the end this should really save me lots of time.
