RE: My Fellow Steemit Minnows Don't Get Discouraged It Will Take Time But It Will Be Worth It
Those are still some pretty impressive numbers! What do you do to get to 100+ followers? How many posts do you publish per week? Curious for some insight :)
Hey @poehah while I don't think it's a huge advantage, comming from Youtube and having a decent size following over there definately helps. Some of my Youtube audience is starting to follow me over here and support me.
Also, it's actually a couple Youtubers who got me on here @brianphobos and @vogeltron1 among a couple other guys. Brian who's a bit more established on here has shown me some love which I'm sure has gone a long way so just to be upfront my having a background on Youtube probably has helped me to a large extent.
That said I've been pretty consistant about posting everyday, usually a couple times a day. My first few days on here I went really heavy. I try to spread a lot of love with votes, try to comment on a lot of peopel's stuff and I try to catch new people on their introduction posts and welcome them to the platform.
While I do think there's probably something to be said for learning the culture of this platform and what types of content does best and how to best format posts I think probably the best thing is just grinding it out being consistant. Maybe set a goal of minimum 1 piece of content created on here per day and comment on min 5 other peoples posts. If you do that day in and day out for say 30 days I gurantee you you'll have some results.
Thanks for taking the time to reply! Really appreciate it! I guess I'll have to step up my game :-). It's just demotivating when you put hours of work in a post and you get $0.50 in return.
I definately feel you there but it's not unique to Steemit. When I started my Youtube channel I would put in tons of time to have 6 people watch my videos and earn nothing. I did this for months and month and month and then one day all the sudden one of my videos went moderately viral next thign I know I have 10k subs, then 20k, now closing in on 60k.
Same thing with Instagram, same thing with starting an eBay store or rolling out an Amazon product. If you're not willing to put in say minimum 3 months with nothing to show for it dont' get started in the first place because you'll burn out.
Make a commitment to spend at least the next 90 days grinding every day and keep doing it even with 0 results. You will wind up finding a community or being noticed by someone powerful on here and you will be rewarded for it.
You're definitely right. Nothing comes out of thin air, we have to work hard, fail, fail again and then perhaps succeed ^^
