RE: Steemit Strategy - Your "Quality" Content Isn't Valuable
Brilliant post! I love your rants! Thanks so much for writing it. I've looked at Maslow's hierarchy before but never from the point of view that I am at the thin end of the stick when it comes to audiences. I guess that's because for me self-actualisation and self-transcendence in particular are survival ...and I'm just learning to let go of the idea that 'it must be good for everyone.'
I was also watching Jerry's post and thinking - how do people do posts like that...? In my small niche, I guess I've been hoping that the steemit pool is big enough for me to find like minds... or at least some minds that like what I write.... unlike the small town in Australia I grew up in.
Fortunately the one really great thing I have found about writing on steemit, is that writing posts evolves me... The process of posting on a semi-regular basis is bringing me personal clarity, insights and better ides. So that's worth 10cents a post in itself!
Thanks again for your experienced insights, I look forward to reading your post again, especially after I've had a few beers, as I think it over further.
warm regards, Margot
Margot, I haven't read all the comments yet, but you have made my day! (maybe yours is comment of the day).
I agree so much with you about writing here. Some of my posts are me trying to build my account and brand, but much of it is me sharing my thoughts and developing them in the process. I would like to think I'm growing as an individual because of my writing (this post may not be a good example of personal growth, Iol)
I certainly think there are like-minded people on Steemit for all of us especially if we grow the platform, but some of these audiences will pay better than others.
I highlighted the homesteaders community in this post because I love these people and their stories. They give great DIY help that we use at our country house here in Russia, but another person that is great is my "friend" @yankee-statman. He gives good market analysis several days a week, but also talks about baseball, which I absolutely love. He gets an auto vote from me because I believe in him and his writing. If ever I was to find that most of his articles were "rainbow and unicorn" bs, I would stop following.
We all have posts that we love for different reasons and I absolutely love reading posts from Aussies outside the city because their lives are like epic adventures in many cases. lol
Have a beer on me. Cheers.
