RE: Photoshoot with Mrs. Tammy Montgomery & Album Design - Original Photography & Graphic Design by J-VO
Thank you @overkillcoin! I wish I could get more - Our eldest dog passed away two weeks ago and I was so in a funk that I just wasn't feeling creative. I took a break, and now my posts just aren't getting the response I was seeing before. But that's ok - I appreciate you taking the time to share such a kind compliment and for reading! Hopefully if I just keep at it, more people will start to interact! :)
Very sorry to hear. My dog is aging along and I'm already sad to see him get grays... It's understandable for sure. It looks like creativity is a part of your everyday life, though, so adding great content will be natural once you get back into it.
Are you familiar with the #minnowsupportproject? I think it's been a helpful way to introduce me to talented content creators and friendly supporters. For the first 2 - 3 weeks, my posts were doing pretty poorly, but they've improved. There are also PAL and Steemit chat rooms, I tend to be too ADHD to stick around chat and make good buddies though XD
I'm also a bit concerned about what will happen if I ease up on posting due to a busier schedule (work and classes). In social media, it's ideal to be consistent and not burn yourself out. A smart guy whose book I read told me this.
Yes, I agree with you 100%, just gotta get back in the habit. Also, the first four weeks I was here I had about three posts that went well over $100 and seeing the numbers jump at least over 5.00 every post definitely fueled the fire to get addicted here. I am hopeful that just getting back into it, not worrying about the numbers and just enjoying the platform, things will naturally go back to where they were.
I have checked out the minnowsupportproject! I have used them before, but even though I paid both the people the small amount of SBD, whenever I try to go get a post upvoted, only one of them recognize that I have paid.. its weird. I need to look into that more.
You are right about sticking with it and keeping consistency - I had gotten there but got dismantled. Now I am back on the grind. I hope you are able to keep it up with your class and work load, I remember college days and its hard to do much else but what they require. I think you will be able to still find some time here and there to interact! When do your classes start back?
That's a good sign (your earlier posts doing well). I don't think I've surpassed $85, and those are rare. I've heard scary warnings about gathering a huge following before Steemit goes big and it's an impossibility to go large, but I'd think that a wider audience would balance things out?
Maybe ask @gmuxx or @crimsonclad in the PAL chat. They're smart, helpful and super patient with all my idiotic questions that I pepper them with on an hourly basis.
And... the 'classes' are more like business coaching sessions with the chamber of commerce... Although I do have network meetings and general insanity pulling me away from my creative side... But, I need to take these classes very seriously to get my business on fire again. It's such a waste to have a middle-man mark your work up and then barely send you enough work. Time to go fully independent :D
