RE: 🔷 Steemit Success Stories: A Study on @Stackin 🔷 How To Grow From Minnow To Dolphin!!🐬
How much Steem has he bought and how much Steem has he earned from authoring and curation?
How much Steem has he bought and how much Steem has he earned from authoring and curation?
I haven't counted up exactly how much Steem he has bought (although it probably could be done by looking at his posts) At least $2500 but probably more!!
And if you go to his profile and click on rewards you can switch between 'curation rewards' and 'author rewards' to see exactly how much he is earning and compare to your own :)
How much Steem he has bought and how much Steem he has earned is rather important when giving him (or anyone) as an example for a Steemit success story, no?
You, me or anyone can become a dolphin or a whale in just a few minutes, if he or she has enough money to buy the right amount of Steem.
I would prefer to see Steemit success stories of people that have become dolphins or even whales by just posting and curating.
With or without his purchase of Steem, I think stackin is still a great example of a Steemit success story. You can't buy 3000 followers on Steemit, you can't buy a reputation of 62, you can't buy great engagement in your comments section and you can't buy great post ideas and great content for your blog.
I agree, anyone can be a whale by purchasing the right amount of Steem. I have looked at a lot of the Top whales on Steemit and their profiles are all boring because they are just people with a lot of money invested in Steem who don't post or interact on here.
Charles has 100k+ followers outside of Steemit, so he obviously knows how to work social media to his advantage, and he is highly engaged and doing very well on Steemit. I think that he is an interesting person to look at, which is why I wrote the post, and he definitely has techniques that anyone could use to increase engagement on their own blog without having to invest money in Steem.
There probably aren't a lot of serious Steemians who haven't invested money in their own blog. If you're into Steemit, you're into crypto, and Steem is a great coin so it makes sense to invest. Jerry Banfield has bought Steem, Trevon James has bought Steem... I bought Steem and I definitely would buy more again in the future. In the same way if you tried to make your own blog or website you would need to spend money on advertising as an investment.
But I wish you luck if you try to find a successful steemian who never invested in Steem, I'm sure there must be one or two out there. Probably these people are more likely to be 'celebrities' in the outside world, like Jeff Berwick, who can make $15k on their first post. Let me know if you find one :)
