RE: A Little Advice From a Little Fish to a Little Fish
I feel you. I wrote a funny take on how to get Americans to watch Soccer (A "sport" we hate ) I put hours into it, and nothing. Not even one comment. Zero, zilch, nada. Then I did a ton of research On Josephine Baker, and another on James Dean, I migh as well have yelled into the wind! lol! I was working up to posting daily, but decided to slow my pace down, and only write when i feel something strikes me.
Writing is fun. But it's odd, the only people I do hear from, all seem to come from the same country, and have Steemit sites filled with copied material from English-speaking websites. They are getting attention. Everything I write, comes from me. Period. I do feel I'm growing very slowly, but naturally.
I do many rewrites. Finding just the right image can take a good hour. And I still wanna tinker with it some more, so I have to force myself to stop and publish.
I know if we keep at it, soon we'll reach that tipping point and leave the Minnow pond for deeper waters. Hang in there, even Whales get full eventually and may share some juicy morsels with us! :)
I just read your piece on James Dean. Well done!! I see what you mean as not many people even viewed it. I think I'll head over to the Minnow Support Project discord. I can have them upvote my post and they share a link if I remember correctly. It may help you and some of the other people here.
Very nice of you to do that, thanks. I just looked at it now and saw I spelled Donald Turnipseed's last name wrong and linked it! lol We'll pretend we didn't see that. Selecting that picture of Dean took 20 minutes. It had to be the right one, and not a pic that had been seen too often. I feel like I gave birth with that one! :)
Of course the bot wasn't working. Here are a couple links that may help: https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw and https://steemit.com/@minnowsupport
Yes, I think I registered with them and the bot with a "b" was the one that worked.
Same here. Oh well. :)
