RE: Why Every Writer and Blogger Should be Using Steemit
I agree I spend a minimum of 4 hours on pretty much every post I do, then there's finding images and formatting - just so much work goes into every post.
I have also seem to lost favour of the guilds and whales, not sure what if anything I have done to merit this but all I can do is keep writing and hope to get a few good votes here and there.
I have started to be more active on twitter, reaching out to other authors and literary agents even publishers I have come across and if I can I will recommend steemit for them.
My thought is that if enough authors and creators who want to create larger content come here in droves, we will soon as a group hold more power to sway the public opinion to embrace longer posts.
Once there is a bigger community all pushing for bigger posts I think others will start to see more value in this content, if this is going to be a social network for everyone it needs to be all inclusive - that's why I have no issue with the porn lol.
Try not to stop posting if you can I know it can be really disheartening, keep pushing through and you never know a whale might drop by and surprise you.
I wish you all the best on here and in life :) Followed
Thanks for the encouraging words. You're right, the more creative, talented writers flock to Steemit the more accepting the atmosphere will be for those types of posts. I'm all for inclusion; a place for everything and everything in its place. It might help if content was actually segregated into different types (links, short posts, videos, long posts, etc) and then a separate reward pool for each, weighted according to the kind of effort required for that category.
And you've got yourself another follower. :-)
I agree steemit is for all and hey I'll be writing my book on here until they kick me off lol.
I understand the idea behind segregating the types of content, this on it's own could really help with people on a day to day basis with finding the type of content they are interested in but tags usually help a lot with that when people use them properly.
I do think however you're idea about splitting the reward pool per topic, and then weighting them against the effort required would be an extremely hard sell on steemit - people aren't thrilled with the idea of a separate reward pool for comments.
And effort required is really subjective rather than quantifiable with any degree of certainty, I appreciate where you're coming from - but I just don't see the majority going for it.
I think as a community we need to realise we want all formats to suceed on here, not just short content and that means possibly more dedicated guilds possibly funded by steemit but controlled by reputable community members where a required number need to vote for funds to clear - anyway just an idea.
Thanks so much for the follow, hope I provide you with some entertainment with my content :)
