RE: Why The PROMOTED Tab Is The BEST Thing Ever!
You can promote your own stuff, Sure it may not blow up into something large, But you'll at the very least get more followers. This will help future posts; Your investment will help you do well for future posts.
This +100. Followers pay themselves off in due time. Gain 10 minnow followers from promoting a post and that may only gain you $0.25 on that specific post, but it pays dividends. You gain future upvotes and friends that may become big time content curators, dolphins, or even whales as the site grows.
This is only a good thing, especially when the money is pumped back in to steemit.
Been away for a couple days, time to go back and do one of your recent "how to draw a ____" challenges that I missed since the panda!
Heheh thank you!
This is very smart logic! I agree that we should invest in our follower count. That is one of the reason I try to post my four posts consistently even if they don't make a lot of money. Those extra followers help me in the long run.
Yes, that makes sense with your current following. With mine, my plan has to be a bit different: try to post 3-5 times a week but spend more time commenting on other people's posts, hanging out in the steemit chat, talking with @fyrstikken and others on steemspeak, and sort of being ubiquitous in the community before pumping out content.
The promote button is perfect for both of us though. It's great for whales/dolphins who have spare money and great for people without a big follower count to build one up. Only problem for me is that I powered up all my steem dollars already so nothing left to promote with haha. But once payouts for last post come in I'll start putting more towards the promotion button and splitting half the steem dollars between promotion and powerups.
Yes commenting really helps!!
I have the same problem. With the low price of Steem I used all my money investing now I'm broke too.
I barely look at my payouts. Followers are the real currency here. Look after the ones you have and land more however you can.
