HOW TO PULL IN MORE VOTES WITH CLICKBAIT IMAGES

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

Two years ago I did a post outlining how to make heaps of money on Steemit by using clickbait images.

I confidently started off with "Can the right thumbnail image pull in viewers like a flock of birds to a mouldy loaf of bread?"

Clearly I knew what I was doing even way back then, because it pulled in TWO CENTS!

Yes back in the old days before bots, it was really easy to make big money on Steemit. And I was a god.

Now as yet another two year anniversary Steemian I am finally entitled to start bleating on about how everything was back in the old days (two years ago). So I'm going to start right now!

Two years ago we weren't all so fucking serious - we did it for fun. Well some of us did, there actually were a lot of earnest geeks posting boring shit, even back then. But not quite everyone.

When the payouts decline like they have lately, everyone gets serious and starts posting try hard bore them until they pay me something posts. Fuck that shit.

Getting paid is fun and admittedly this is not going to be a long post because it probably won't hit the jackpot. But that could be a good thing - if I don't give a shit I can unclench my sphincter and post anything that comes to mind.

I think six months ago the standard of posts on Steemit were mostly higher than they are now. I know many of mine were.

A big shift is this - I like being paid, it makes me salivate, and if I was getting up to $100 for my longer posts 6 months ago, but now I don't have a shit show of getting over $20 - two things happen.

One - I tend to do shorter posts.

Two - I have set up a second account were I don't feel I have to stick to the unwritten rule of not using bidbots - and I'm probably going to post my longer posts on that account and not feel so spanked because it will look like I'm earning big payouts. Even if I'm not really, but nevermind, it makes me feel more manly.

So if this account is only earning bird droppings again like back in the old days, it needs to be back to fun and games - basically the reverse of what I thought would happen when I set up my new account.

I know I've been a bit boring lately because I used to get at least one unfollow a day and some of those exciting looking red mutes as well if I was lucky. Lately barely anyone can even be arsed even unfollowing me. This needs to change - I WANT MORE MUTES!

If you are a sensitive libtard - mute this account now or I might offend you.

I like it, hairy balls and all! I agree about the length of the posts too - basically we should treat this as an electronic doodle pad, all the bullshit about the rules and rights and obligations and effort and unfairness blah blah blah...is just, well bullshit! I say have some fun, use bots, do whatever you feel like, post as long or short as you want, and if people don't like it, fuckit too bad!

I don't know what it is, but it's very pretty
🍸

I like your posts more lately... Not that I ever didn't like you. It just seems you have relaxed into your inner snarkiness and sarcasm.

Or it could be the tone I read them in.

I am loose and trigger happy again

I clicked on the image! and... there isn't even a high rez photo of her, i am so bummed. Depressed even.

There was a time i went through the new feed.
Like literally scrolled through the thing, commenting on everything the read interesting.

Now i can barely be assed to read all the content in my feed.

What makes me happy is that i can upvote someone's post and give them 2¢. I remember when it was a big deal to finally break the 2 cents and get a payout.

HIGH RES PERVERT...

Cheers to your 2 cents and to the penis for pervert, dude! Always appreciated :)

Haha! Un-followed... Followed again! Dude you are bang on the money with this subject(mind the pun). Love throwing in the odd shit-post.

That's creeping me out the more I look at it. very good though. I see a horse at the top-right.

It's a cow!

haha close enough..

What!?! You got 2 cents for your first ever post?
All I got was 2 of these centipede mofos..

ya- You almost got what you want. You actually enjoy have people UNFOLLOW you?

I almost UNFOLLOWED you just now for that penis image you posted. I told you before those things are strange looking. NO ONE on planet earth Except men likes the way look.

If people unfollow me I must be doing something right - you are one of my inspirations!

Penises look amazing - are you a lesbian?

no. i am straight. but no women know likes looking at those things. Even the deranged women I know who will hook up with some guy they just 5 minutes ago, even those women remark that wee wees on men look weird. Women just never usually say that to the MAN they are with, because we do not want to hurt their feelings. Women & Men & their BRAINS are VERY VERY DIFFERENT when it comes to certain things. This is one of them. Let me tell you, even the strippers & escorts I've known ALSO think those things look strange. And yes- I've known more than my fair share of Strippers, Escorts, Highclass Escorts, Street Level Bargain Bin Escorts & your typical deranged slut - along with Prim & proper chaste bible thumpers.

Back in the 90's I used to work across the road from what had already been NZ's top hotbed of prostitution for 30 years - Vivian Street.

But one block over - Marion St - all the "prostitutes" had penises - that was a step down :) - and yes we called them "trannies"
