RE: 5 myths of what it takes to succeed on Steem
Thank you for teaching us newly minted minnows! My apologies for my missteps, but this is the type of permanent discussion that should not be restricted to the 7 day rule due to it’s significance.
Yeah, I surely appreciate any support, and I'd be happy to see any restrictions lifted... But what are you referring to when you say it should not be restricted??
Perhaps there could be another website in and of itself that describes all of the Steemit for Newbs...
I especially liked the whole 'comment 20-30 times a day! WOW I need to do that...'
Oh, I meant the 7 day rule to earn monetarily on each posting. This one is significant and should continue earning because it is beneficial. Thank you for letting me clarify.
@papa-pepper said something like that (about commenting) and it turned my Steemit experience around. Before that it was all about getting people to my blog but since then it actually has been bringing people to check me out, I'm getting a lot of upvotes on my comments which can easily add up to more than what my posts do and I'm having so much more fun than I did to begin with. Bringing people to my blog is pretty much secondary to meeting all the people and following the ones I like.
I can't remember who said it in their 'success' post but in addition to finding friends you might want to keep at least one post up and current on your blog so that the people you find who have similar interests as you do will have something of yours to read, comment on, and upvote.
When you say keep one post current what do you mean? A post or resteem daily?
Thank you
A resteem generally doesn't help you, it helps the person you resteem. It can show your interests but it's my opinion that if you don't have something of your own to read (that can be voted on/curated) you won't get a lot of repeat visitors .
I would suggest that you have at least one post or more that is < 7 days old. Your potential followers votes do no good after your reward is given (7 days after you post) and therefor, while people can still comment on your old post it is a waste of their upvote if they give you one on a post that is ≥ to 7 days,
