RE: Welcome Newbies and Not-So-Newbies - Hints and Tips
Upvoting goes such a long way. Even if the upvote doesn't matter financially but then the very fact that someone upvoted my writing means it meant something to them and it added value to their life in someway or the other, just knowing that much is enough and gives the artist enough motivation to go on. Waiting for your post's where you give us tips on how to write better.
Thank you, I appreciate your comments and you're quite right! Financially, the $0.01 doesn't matter on their own... but every day, every week... they all add up.
The writing tips will be along again, shortly.
And the best part is you get paid for upvoting as well. SO it's a win win situation. Even though Steemit is POS, it still is an amazing platform.
Completely!!!! I would honestly rather a post I wrote to get 300 votes and be worth $0.05 than write a post that got only one vote by a whale for $50.00
For the writer/ artist/ comedian/ singer... It's about the connection. Money is nice but it fades away. Relationships last longer (usually. lol)
Quite true haha, it's nice to see that a lot of people took an interest in your writing.
But then again... it's $50 lol
Tough choice, that's all I'm saying
Nahhhh. It's really not though. Lol. Its kinda like that saying... You can give a man a fish, or you can give him a fishing pole and TEACH him how to fish.
Invest in the community and the return will be much richer (that's not talking about money).
When I first started out... When EVERYONE first starts out.. (unless they have a whale friend who brought them here lol) reality hits!!!! You pour your heart out into a post and it's rewarded with 3 pennies. Lol maybe ZERO pennies!!!
But here's the thing.... If you have the time and you keep posting good stuff... People who enjoy your work will eventually find you and support you! With comments, interaction, friendship and ... Votes.
But it really does take time... And honesty!!!!
And then maybe you won't have to make that choice! Maybe you'll have the support of your community.. AND a whale :)
And who wouldn't love that!?!!!? Lolol
(And see... This is why I love the comment section. Cuz @michelle.gent opened up opportunity for good discussion... And then the people who like interaction start to talk and make connections!!! You don't just have to wait for people to see your posts!!! You can support your friends AND find like-minded souls at the same time!
So now this is where I go look at your profile.... Read some of your stuff... See if we connect because of your writing... And possibly follow you and toss a few upvotes your way!
And THATS why it's good to keep writing solid posts :) cuz people will check you out.... Best to have a little something to serve them when they visit!!! ;)
