RE: Top 6 Mistakes Minnows (New Steemit Users) Make
Quality advice, especially on the followers and comments front.
I've actually considered a post asking "Why the F are you following me?" Sure I'd love to have 10,000 followers, but if only 10 of them read my blog, 4 of them upvote, and 1 routinely comments, then what's the point?
What I'd like to do is get more "quality" followers. Developing an audience that reads what I write (and Steemit is a pretty full time gig for me) has been a little bit of a challenge because I only occasionally write about crypto.
LOL, I have noticed that too! I tried posting a couple of non crypto blogs and got almost no views. Hopefully that will change over time as more people join Steemit.
You know though, there is a physiological problem with that. If I see someone like myself with a few followers I'm less likely to look through the posts and/or follow. Kinda playing on crowd wisdom, to assume if alot of people follow it must be good, silly I know.
Yup...it's the minnows chasing the allusive curation reward. In reality, minnows are wasting their time.
Yeah! I am new on here and went nuts yesterday following people. I was just feeling a bit lonely, and was hoping someone would even read some of my stuff. I don't have high expectations of making a lot on here. I have come to accept that, from past experiences, it's hard to promote your own work, so I now enjoy reading and checking out other people's work.
Interesting perspective ... the Lemming mentality ... if 10,000 people are following this guy off a cliff there must be something interesting down there.
Went to follow you. Was already following you.
