RE: Strategies to Getting Bigger Payouts on Steemit
I think a lot of times it's more of who you are and can you bring people to steemit that gets the big rewards not necessarily the content. If your a whale are you going to vote on a so-so post by someone with a lot of followers on another social media site that might bring them here or for some unknown person that makes a great post?
I'm not quite sure I understand.
This is purely a focus on psychological and marketing strategies to get your post noticed among the ocean of posts generated each day. The suggestion of sharing to other social media platforms is with the assumption that the person posting would already have some connections and/or following on other sites, that could sign up to steemit and upvote the post. It doesn't take a whole lot in less saturated categories including psychology and philosophy to be in the active or potentially hot lists, which then allow you further exposure.
If your a whale you have the incentive to grow the platform and make even more money. If you make someone that has a lot of following a success then they are likely to spread the word of that success to their followers. That means it's more beneficial for a whale to vote for the person than the content in many situations.
I just see these strategies being distinct. This post is really more a focus on the slow incremental growth, building direct connections and methods of adjusting what is seen in the listings to be more appealing for a click.
An increase from nothing to a few pennies is progress, a few more, still progress.
I kinda see the strategy you mentioned of the whale being more top down versus what I talked about being bottom up. The hope is to give users options, within their own control, without changing the message of their content, to effectively reach others.
Just my take. I do appreciate the feedback :)
From the standpoint of whales voting, I see what you are saying. These strategies aren't really with a focus on whales. Either way, that's a good point to make.
