RE: Editing Posts After Posting!
This is my EXACT question because I just did the EXACT thing by hitting enter after one tag on my “Introduceyourself”lol. As a Youtuber, I know that editing a post after it was just posted can be a bad thing so I’m trying to see if it’s the same thing on Steemit :)
So, after 30 days of experience I can relay a few things:
So far nobody has had an issue with me fixing typos and stuff. I would not try to add whole paragraphs after posting, it should be the final text when posting to steemit. After all - people voted on it, and if you change the ideas within your post LATER, it might come off as a little dishonest.
That said, I always welcome when people go over their text a few extra times and take out all the typos they can find. Seems much more professional, and readers will be able to tell that you put great efforts into your post when there aren't many hang-ups and typos, which will ultimately rewarded by quality-lovers.
Good luck <3
Thank you for this! Especially your last comment. I made my intro post before learning about markdown formatting. It was fine the way it was, but – having learned how much better it could be, I simply couldn't stop myself from editing a few more times today – simply to beautify it. Yet I noticed that the estimated value of my post (though embarrassingly minimal) dropped by $.1 after each, additional edit. It wasn't until the 3rd time that I realized what was happening. Now I know! I'll certainly be more discerning and careful in future. It'll be hard for the crazy perfectionist that I am, but I've gotta try! • Here's the post, if you're curious: https://steemit.com/photography/@zipplyo/hello-fellow-steemians
I am curious, perfectionists are all insane (and I am one of them).
As far as I understand it, the number of edits has little to do with post payouts. The payouts declined in the last months due to the falling price of Steem.
so far I have not had seen any downside to editing posts, other than using up bandwidth, which you only have a limited supply of per day. So try to make less but larger edits at once.
Where is the edit tab for up to 7 days?
@healthchain
it is right underneath your published article, center right - right next to where the "reply" button is.
