IF I WAS A MINNOW ON STEEMIT I WOULD... - PART 4
Introduction
For those of you who haven't read part 1, part 2 and part 3. I would highly suggest you to read them before reading today's post. Why? Well...because today we are moving ahead in a territory that may confuse brand new minnows.
You see, I strongly believe that a new user shouldn't get bug down by all the details. They should just start using the comment/post and upvote function.
But if you have been here for a few weeks, I believe this one is for you.
As usual, if you like this article, please resteem and if it's the first time you come across my blogposts, go to my profile @cryptoctopus and follow me to get my future articles in your feed. I do my best to write 5 times a week, monday to friday...usually in the morning.
If I was a minnow I would...use tools
Today in particular, I'm going to talk about a very useful tool => https://streemian.com
The hero behind this tool is @xeroc of @chainsquad. He has been a long standing member of the community and I truly trust what he does.
You'll first have to register and then verify and that may be a little confusing for new users. But stick to it because I will show you how you can make this work for your benefit.
Adding Value to Steemit Using Streemian
One of the things I covered in my previous article was to more VALUE than the average minnow. Streemian will help you do that.
Start a CurationTrail Around Your Favorite Topic
What is a curation trail? It's basically a way for people to follow what you are upvoting. If you decide to start curating "food" related content then people who want the "food" topic to take more prominence on the platform can follow your upvotes.
Once your trail is setup, you can promote your trail in the comment section (when it's relevant) or advertise it at the bottom of your post. Overtime, you can get hundreds of people to follow your vote and thereby increase your curation rewards.
If you happen to be writing articles on the topic you are curating, you can also help it get more visibility. It is kind of a way to get paid for your hard work.
CAUTION: If you decide to have a trail around a certain topic, make sure to only vote on such topic...people might not like looking at your vote and realize that you haven't been doing your job.
Build you fanbase
If you have setup your streemian account and want to upvote my post automatically, you can become a fan here https://streemian.com/profile/fanbase/leader/cryptoctopus
You've seen that? That's an easy way to get more people to become "patrons" of your account. Use your own personal link to accumulate followers in the footer of your post. Overtime, it might pay off. :-)
Help Curation Guilds
You can be a frequent contributor to the @curie project. Please read their guidelines (https://steemit.chat/channel/curie). Many whales are backing this project and you can make yourself some powerful friends if you help them curate good content on the STEEM network.
Conclusion
By using streemian, you can generate a lot of value for people who do not have time to curate or vote. Those people usually don't have as much time as they wish to and they are dealing with an opportunity cost issue where if they don't vote, they lose potential revenue. With Streemian, you can add value by being a meticulous curator of a topic you care about.
ye its good thing to join curation trail or curation guild , just today i discovered @ocd (Curation Guild for undervalued, quality posts by newcomers ) there you can join as curator of newcomer post and find some quality post and receive sbd for it , also its good for first connections with others.
This is a cool idea too, thanks @investwarrior! I'm trying my hardest to scroll around looking for great new material and acknowledge it. Noticing a lot of good stuff gets buried pretty quick!
We have to create masterpieces that have a whole recipe behind it . As always , I love taking on your advice to better myself everyday on this platform . Thank you for helping everyone
I'm here for nearly 2 months @cryptoctopus, and in just 4 post you made me learn so much on how to succeed on this amazing platform!
I've never seen anyone giving so much advise on a daily basis + helping all these minnows like myself!
Yesterday I have been trying to enter to be a fan of yours, but i just got lost and could not know how to proceed. Then today I saw that I need to verify my account too by sending 0.001sbd to streemian then I can use it.
It would be good that everyone joining get to know this step!
Thanks so much again my friend!
@creativewoman
im trying to , but a get there , im new on that of steemit
Upvoted and resteemed
so you just write 3 words and upvote yourself? I'm tempted to flag just enough to bring you to zero.
he is writing few words and always upvoting himself if you check his profile its his style of earning money
I think I have all done in
streemian.com , im half way but im new on that, I need to open a steem Acount to finish ??
to see this post is help me and I see the post because tarquinmain put that post and I think is a very good post and connected me with you , I can follow you ?? cryptoctopus
@cryptoctopus - I also upvoted your post as I mentioned. Did you upvote your own post? I presume you did as that's how to get it rolling right? As an early adopter it's easy for you to get attention. The very top earners (also early adopters) on steem upvote their comments - even if one word. I also upvote other people's 3 word comments if I think they're relevant to the post. Upvoting my comment saying I'd resteemed your post was double approval of your work to attract extra readers. I've invested hard earned fiat into steem. Are you really suggesting I don't have the right to upvote anything of my freewill? I appreciate you didn't use your immense steem power to walk on my positive comment about your post.
This is surely a great way to add value to the community. At the same time increase the potential earnings. Thanks for sharing the step by step guide.
I agree, everything is interconnected, the author with the curator and the turnover. Mainly help to promote posts and all will win from this :)
Very nice post i use streemian some time for curating but wht is your opinion about using steemvoter for curation ? @cryptoctopus
I would say steemvoter is "serious" curating. I wouldn't follow a trail of someone who use that.
Ya i agree with this one and steemvoter also charge Money for huge curating.
I was approved and successfully joined your fanbase! Or added you to mine, whichever it is. https://streemian.com/profile/fanbase/leader/darkflame
Hello @cryptoctopus! Hope you are having a great day!
I am reading this post with so much happiness today as only yesterday on my comment i asked if you could do a post on streemian and it's use, and BAM here you are with a full post on it!
You are always listening to your audience that's really amazing!
I never knew before the real utility of Streemian, but now for sure I will deep dive into it with all your advises and make good use of this amazing tool!
On another note thanks so much for the votes on my post, maybe you are not aware, but infact you are helping me a lot in organizing my cooking contest starting tomorrow!
Thank you so much!
@progressivechef
Thank you. I can't get over how people like you take the time and effort to expand understanding and involvement. When I first started, just a few weels ago, I was so excited by the community blog. I don't have crypto currency because I do not understand it. It isn't the money or reward it's uncensored, freedom of speech. I thought conversations and dialogue. But even the good posts, are rarely followed up with meaningful care and attention to the pursuant comments. Conversation is not one sided.
Enjoy pictures, recipes and travel, finance and politics. But I was hoping for dialogue. I can read this stuff anywhere.
