RE: Walk and Talk with Corsucate // Why Do Some Posts Earn More Than Others on Steemit?
I totally agree with ya. Great advice to newcomers, and something that we all have to remind ourselves from time to time.
I think it's funny too how aggroed made that analogy about singing to an empty auditorium. It paints the perfect picture, and I've had very similar conversations about how artists putting a ton of money and energy into their debut album is a bit of a waste. No one is here to listen yet. Do something short, like an EP or a couple singles, build those relationships, network, and when people are actually paying attention, then do something bigger.
It all revolves around the same universal concept, being that networking and community are both an essential part of moving forward in a social environment such as Steemit (or music). You have to pay your dues and show any level of respect and commitment to the community that you hope to see interaction from, before it will be reciprocated.
Wow, this was so perfectly put @harrisonmir. I especially liked your last comment about showing respect and commitment to a community before you can expect anything from it. You could honestly do an entire post just talking about that! I think that piece of things gets lost on a lot of people (whether it is music or Steemit) and they show up expecting to be taken care of right away.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my video and for leaving such a thoughtful response!! <3
Aw thanks @coruscate! Funny you should say that, I kinda just did do a post about it but from a slightly different angle. Kind of still applies though in a lot of ways!
And of course, my pleasure. I always enjoy your stuff!
