The New Steemit

Back in June of 2017 when I first got on Steemit I used to see a lot of long form really high quality content. Now I'm not saying that long form content is the only quality content, but generally speaking long form content can oftentimes be more engaging and can oftentimes be more high quality, someone actually put some decent effort into creating it and was passionate about the topic they were creating about.

Back then however the Steem and SBD prices were higher, and the overall moral and sentiment here was a lot more positive as well. Over the past months I've seen the length of content get shorter, which isn't in and of itself a bad thing, but I'm also seeing a lot of halfass cellphone shots without any story, that aren't really that visually interesting, and where someone didn't even take the time to get good lighting or frame the photo.

I'm with you guys, my content has gotten shorter and maybe a bit lazier. I think the new way to spend time on and hopefully succeed on Steemit is going to be finding ways to lazily still create engaging and interesting content. I think lazy may be the wrong word, I think efficient may be the better word but lazy jumps out in the title more so fuck it. Anyhow, I started a series of posts on Smoke.IO that I'm going to do everyday and it's called the "SmokeNetwork Weed Fact of the Day". I have a template in Canva which I only have to adjust the date and the fact each day. Visually it's somewhat engaging and is consistant everyday kinda like the Steemit Minute by @reseller . By the way I think he was genius for comming up with the Steemit minute. I don't wanna call what he's doing lazy because it does take a lot of effort but I like how he found a consistant type of content to make and a format for it and he can do it day in and day out and has had a lot of success with it. It's also proven that treating social media kinda like tv and having a schedule actually gets people blocking time or making an effort to stop in and consume content.

Anyhow, here's a couple of my SmokeNetwork Weed Fact of the Day posts. They take me about 2 minutes to do and people seem to like them. Maybe try to find your own way to efficiently make fasat and easy but still quality and engaging content.
