RE: The Best Thing That Happened To Me Because Of Steemit
I'd agree. Both eventually need to be present—the rewards and the engagement—to whatever degrees is up to each one of us. Some of us care more about rewards, others engagement, and so hitting that ratio we each need is key to not only success, but our longevity.
You've definitely had a lot of engaging posts (we've been talking about this right?) on topics that I'm interested in, so you're making it easy for me to show up and say something. :) You're easy to talk to and so I'm sure that not only helps me, but everyone else you're chatting with here.
Thanks. :)
I think it has a lot to do with simply being real on here and not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. Take a look at Jerry Banfield. He has to pay huge amounts of money for exposure and just comes across as a fake.
I think if you’re real, have genuine conversations and enjoy creating good quality content then there’s absolute scope to make this a long term and successful thing.
Who knows, maybe Banfield is like that in real life? :) At any rate, I agree, he does come across as something off putting. I'm not sure if it's insincerity or fake, or if he just tries too hard. He's kind of like that kid who always knows everything and wants everyone to know he knows everything. Even when he is sincere he comes off fake. Which is actually funny and sad.
A simpler production quality, a little less theatrics, and maybe he's more genuine? :)
At the same time, he's now a top 20 witness and someone's got to be voting for him in the higher SP echelons. I don't think you can get there riding puny waves from newbies and minnows, even if we all actually voted for him.
Yeah he must have some reasonable level of intelligence to get where he is. So he has to have something to offer.
If he toned himself down and just spoke without sounding like a used car sales person he’d be fine.
Oh and if he stopped voting his posts to $2k as well...
