4 Reasons not to use Resteem Services and What you should Do instead.steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Dear Steemians,

Today I want to discuss some service on Steemit that you might have encounter: Resteem Bots/Services.
I will explain Why I think using these services is as good as throwing your money in the trash can.
This service is usally provided by "big accounts" in terms of followers. These accounts usally ask you to follow them for at least a couple of hours before using the service.

Why you shouldn't use it

  1. A lot of followers but a few are active ones
  2. Most of these followers are new accounts or minnows trying to make their way to the top. As your account grows in value and content, you tend to move away from these services as you understands it does not create value
  3. This service is spamming you very strongly and prevents you from engaging in REAL relationships with other Steemians. By following even one of these accounts you will have at least 30-50 resteems per hour
  4. It is not financially attractive. According to my experience; Even if you pay 0.05 SBD for example you almost never

What you should do instead

  1. Use other services as @minnowbooster, @minnowsupport, @randowhale, @bellyrub. It will still cost you SBD but you will usually get an upvote worth more than your transfer. In addition it could help you to make it to the "Hot" Section and be noticed
  2. Since you listened to me and not using Resteem Services anymore, you should have a cleaner Feed and therefore you should try to engage on other author's posts. If someone is writing on a topic that you also wrote on, you should engage discussion and you might tell them to check-out your post.
  3. You should try to join a Community. I am part of #thealliance but you have many more Teamaustralia, francosteemvotes... You will have people you daily share with and who might be more enclined to vote on your posts.
  4. You should also join Discord or Steemit.chat channels to talk to your community and meet new people
  5. Finally, Creating Good Content is the best way to be noticed. I can only encourage you to do so on a daily basis. Your followers will then be used to read your content everyday and you will have a better chance to have upvotes

I understand that some of these Resteem Services can be upset about my post but this is only my personal experience.

sneaky-ninja-sword-small.jpg Sneaky Ninja Attack!! You have been defended with a 0.98 % upvote! To help keep my Jōki (蒸気) power strong I rely on the townspeople of Sōsharumedia (ソーシャルメディア). I was summoned by: @vlemon. I have done their bidding and now I will vanish... woosh

I can confirm you Vlemon that most of these Resteem services will never provide back the sbd value that you sent to them. Lot of their followers accounts are just inactive accounts created for that purpose.

If you want another way, I can recommand you SteemFollowers. With this website you vote for the autors you want and depending of your SteemPower, you will receive 105,110% back in vote on your publications from others users of this site.

What I like with this website is that you can chose the autors you want support and you are thanks for the support by receiving a similar value in upvotes on your own posts.

Anyway thank you for the share of your experience. Upvoted.

Thank you for your very interesting comment and upvote @cryptopassion, it always a pleasure to discuss with you.
I will check SteemFollowers right away as it seems a very interesting concept.
I am glad that you enjoyed my post and hope to talk to you again very soon.

Well said. I did not use the services as well. I don't trust them.

Well said I agree

Thank you @tattodjay. Always a pleasure to have your comments on my post.
Have a great day!

Thanks and you to have a great day

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by Vlemon from the Minnow Support Project. It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews/crimsonclad, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows and creating a social network. Please find us in the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network (PALnet) Discord Channel. It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.

I think is better to work hard without use any of the services on the post.

I think you are right. Unfortunately, without these bots you cannot get any exposure...

The only resteem services I know are legit are @resteembot and steemfollowers. Good advice, my man. Upvoted.

I tried the resteem services a couple of times and found no appreciable increase in views on the resteemed posts and certainly no increase in votes.

So, yes, completely agree with you to not use the resteem services.
