STEEMIT USERS DISAPPOINTMENT AND GREAT RESULT

in #stteemit5 years ago

view.jpg

I have been aware that most users on the steeemit blockchain have felt discourage and disappointed with their experience on the platform and make most of them abandoned their activity and support for the platform.

INTRODUCTION

Linee.jpg
The steemit blockchain is a platform that reward author through their post based on the content quality and information based, most people most especially the minnows have find it very hard in building relationship and engagement with others on the platform that has led to many giving up.

Changes faced by many
challee.jpg

  • Financial rewards
  • Low upvote
    Here are some listed challenges faced by many of the platform that has resulted to many because giving up on the platform.

Financial rewards-

many users try to their extent of giving a quality and more quality content but all the same found their content not rewarded to even a bit extent and this is because there is struggle in building engagement on the platform which is not encouraging at all and this make the user feel the impression that no one care about his or her content.

Low upvote-

these is a way of receiving financial reward also which is the form of upvotes, many have not been supported, and this has also being a challenge in the sense that many take their time, finance and strength creating quality content but to no avail they got no better upvote as a form of reward. Taking for example frustration even arises when you are expecting to be upvoted and unfortunately you saw close to 100 upvote with just and $0.04 value. Oh!! How frustrating would that have been?. It even discourage most people and they finally end up giving up when they get nothing in return many will even be striving hard to be among those to earn on their content after seeing their post value some you see $20.97, $100.20, and $500.90 which is like wow.. but at the end of their sweat on post, they see nothing less than $0.24, $0.90 which is most time annoying.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Some solution I know that can be quite simple for most users who intend to create quality content without struggling to earn.

Contributing on the platform-
suppopoo.jpg

This is one 80% rated solution that can make authors earn upvotes and rewards which is the act of contributing to some various communities, because doing this you intend on supporting the existence of the community and most communities have the rate of reward to users who support their initative. With this a big upvote and rewards await the supporter this takes it down to the extent of building engagement.
Linee.jpg

BUILDING ENGAGEMENT.

With the proposed solution, it is strongly believe that contributing to communities with improve the task of building engagement. This will bring exposure to the author so far support is been offered by giving a quality content and will improve follower base where you will have a lot of friends and colleague and even organization who will find it interested to go through all your available content anytime its been drop.

THE USE OF MEMO

Many users on steemit do not realize to the extent of using memos to promote their content, memos could be useful because it is one way you can use to keep in touch with other users it is a way and means of keeping contact with many users around the world. It serves as a means of notification of content ,sending memos to users can promote content with the luck of other users getting interested in the content and directly resteeming it with thousand and millions of users around the steemit community.

CONCLUSION
Suggesting some solution that could help author on steemit, memo is very useful way of getting engagement, reward, and upvote because we never can tell your content may be very useful to some people in future and with the help of this curators you are bound for success and great reward and upvote on your content, unfortunately, your sweat has finally been rewarded and you are about gaining publicity with your contents and support of steemit platform.

Good to see Crypto.Piotr showing you the ropes!

My experience is that effort over time is more valuable than effort at anyone point. If you are a math guy, then you could think of effort on steem as a vector quantity instead of a scalar quantity.

There are several programs that I use to help incentivize and motivate my own perseverance, one of which is SBI. By getting involved in @steembasicincome, I gradually build a base of 'upvotes for life'. By participating in SBI contests, I meet new users, and by hosting contests, I reward others while building my own balance.

Picking a great group or project is good, but I personally am more likely to 'try everything once'. I set short term goals (like one video per day for 31 days, I did last year on Dlive) and now I am doing 77 days of #seven77 pushups. Just try different events, like @ifc or #openmic or whatever strikes your fancy!

My three step plan for new users is - contests, comments and curation. Consider @thedailysneak where you can earn SBI for finding great things that other people write!

There is literally TOO MUCH stuff on steem to do it all, so just pick something and never stop posting/commenting!

Thanks ecoinstant for mentioning the @ifc :)

Thanks boss..
I will surely go by your advice

Another amazing comment @ecoinstant :)

Love that explanation :) Are you math guy yourself? I presume the answer is YES .

Dear @adewararilwan

I just received your memo:

Hello boss this is my own opinion on the your related topic: MEMO.. Kindly find the link to my post: https://steemit.com/stteemit/@adewararilwan/steemit-users-disappointment-and-great-result i wouldn't mind if you could help resteem it. Thanks sir. Regards to your family.

Thank you for sharing that link with me.

All those are very valid points my dear friend.

unfortunately you saw close to 100 upvote with just and $0.04 value. Oh!! How frustrating would that have been?

I know that feeling buddy. First few months has been very frustrating.

memos could be useful because it is one way you can use to keep in touch with other users it is a way and means of keeping contact with many users around the world

We're on the same page here.

I would gladly help you get some exposure with this post if you want me to. When will you publish it, just send me a link via memo, ok?

I can bring some traffic already to this post, but I would need to ask you to help me little bit with task of promoting it:

1) will you reply to every comment?

2) could you visit accounts of those few people, who dropped interesting comment at your post? And then would show your own support by dropping some unique and valuable comment? Idea behind it is simple: I want to help people who will engage with their audience.

I need to ensure that you will give back to community and show your support to others as well.

Let me know what do you think.

Yours,
Piotr

Sure i will do that, though it will take some time to complete those task but i will really take time to do all review and make a relevant and valuable comment. This will really serves as a oath of support to many people on the steemit blockchain.

Hi @adewararilwan

Thx for prompt reply

I'm not asking you to spent hours engaging with people :) But at least try to build some connections with people who would drop a valuable comment :)

I noticed that you only have 60 SP. I can delegate 40SP to you for several weeks (assuming you will be active on Steemit at least every few days).

Cheers buddy
Piotr

Ok. I would do that but not yet sure maybe i could be active every blessed day. All i fear for is that because am still a student and the cost of getting my databundle loaded could be much.. But i promise to get engage with people by going through their content and giving valuable upvote and comment.
With that i am pretty sure i am helping other people on d platform. Thanks boss!!

Hi @adewararilwan

I delegated 40SP to you and I will only promote your post little bit. So dont you worry bud :)

Cheers
Piotr

I will be waiting to receive the delegation
Thanks man!!
Am grateful..

Thanks boss..
I really appreciate
Regards!

It requires great will to continue what we are doing in hard times. For example a doctor who can do 4-5 operations a day cannot operate his relative. That is called as Fear Uncertainity Doubt (FUD). People use this word when bull market is in place. But real FUD lies in this market condition. It may be steemit or some other thing.

Secondly why do you worry about reward that you are getting from other users. For example a writer who writes hundred of books throughout his life will not even be printed in press, But his biography will count millions of dollars which was written after his life. Some things will take time to reflect. you should wait with patience.

Ok man. I love that a lot.
Everything will happen for good at the right time

The basis of quality is subjective.

One might read your post and say: "He makes grammatical errors, this is not quality, I will not vote it."

Another might say: "There are some errors, but I really like his message, and I find the meaning to be quality filled, I will vote this."

Why do I bring this up? Because the topic of "my quality content isn't being recognized" has been around as long as I've been on Steem, and the reception generally does not exist. You might get a few people "in agreement" who are also where you are, but the accounts that bring the big votes, they've seen the woes a thousand times, and it might be a little harsh to say they don't care, but I don't see too many of these posts getting votes from the big guys, and there is are a multitude of reasons for this.

I'll outline some of these reasons, and do my best to help here, because I've been where you are, and it took a great deal of learning and time to get where I am now currently, which isn't huge, (still a minnow) but I'm really happy with my current earnings, and I think this is what is most important. My reasons for blogging could be different than yours however. I create out of passion, desire to self express, as well as to help others in which ever ways I am able, so the rewards are secondary for me. Does that mean I don't like a good whale vote? Of course not! It's still great when you receive a nice vote and feel you've earned something for your time and energy. It might be different for someone who is trying to blog to eat, or pay their bills.

So what does it take to start getting decent votes, and "continually* actively engaging circle of supporters?

Engagement is certainly huge, and key here, but it takes time. If you have 1 hour a day to devote to Steem, you simply cannot expect to get the same results as someone who has 12+ hours a day to devote to Steem. I don't care how good of quality you are producing, if the engagement isn't there, consistency in votes will likely not be there either. So time is one.

Creativity. Not just with blogging/writing/art. People who come up with ways to make serious positive impact are going to do good here. If you develop a dapp for the chain, a successful one, yes you are likely going to do better and earn more. So ingenuity/creativity are pretty big, and many like to create their own little contests/giveaways. There isn't a shortage of creative people here who have their own communities because of ideas they've fostered themselves.

Discord! This is a big one in my opinion. I cannot tell you how much is happening in discord servers. If you have access to discord, it's not a bad idea to get involved with communities that you share common interests with.

Drive! If you see an opportunity for a position, there will be others competing for the position if there are rewards to be earned. Maintaining drive, and self advocating will bring you places on the blockchain. Some things you might get rejected for, but if you maintain the drive, you might find yourself with a job title on the chain, and not just a blogger. This is something, that would certainly advance your Steem career in a positive way.

If all you are interested in is blogging, and engaging with others. You can still find success here, but without accessing discord, and connecting with some established communities, it might be tough. It doesn't mean it's not possible.

The memo system is not bad in my opinion. I really enjoy receiving memos from my friend @crypto.piotr, the only flaws I see in a mass memo usage system, would be the fact that many see it as spam and another issue would be similar to the issue of posts drowning out in the feeds. My guess is, if users start receiving floods of memos, they will just be ignored. That's not to say this system couldn't work or be improved on in any ways. After all, the memo system brought me to your post!

I would love to provide more feedback, but I feel this message is becoming quite long. These are some of the things that I've learned while here, and I really hope you find this information helpful friend! Best wishes to you!

...in other words..you have to know how to trade yourself on steem market :)

Totally agreed. I have done giveaways in the past and am still doing them however when i started doing giveaways i got little to no engagement and i decided to know what people on steem like to be gifted after knowing i have adjusted my giveaways to the trend and have been getting a steady amount of engagement so i think the key to engagement is to go with the trend or you can make your own trend 👍

Nice one man!
I will agree to that to some extent and that will need a lot of investment on the platform.

Yes it some amount of investments are required to keep a follower base strong for example you have 10000 sp and you upvote people who emgage with you if other minnows and planktons see this they will come to get a share of the upvotes and most of the time will leave valueable comments

Hi there @adewararilwan true the distribution of reward doesn't favor just quality content but one should not focus on this to succeed on Steem. Rather, focus on your goals; strategize and work towards achieving them.

Talking about engagement, I think it has to start in the opposite direction. How many posts do you leave valuable comments like this on daily basis? I trying to point that one does not sit back and wait for engagement on their post, you have to go after it unless the post has giveaway in it that will attract the engagement.

Anyways, have a nice day buddy!

Have a nice day too buddy!
I appreciate you for the comment
Thanks

Excellent friend idea @adewararilwan. but that also means that you must commit yourself, when you work with a community there must be a commitment that from that you are not alone, and you must be a full participant.
is the only way you can work well, if you do not follow guidelines you will not be doing anything.

I agree with you

Hi @adewararilwan thank you for the nice post!

One day, in the future I would say that Steem might be profitable for content creators to the point that one could make a living from it. At this time, I believe it is much more like an investment than an income.

A lot of content only earns a few cents like $0.05 or so. This seems pretty bad, but the reality is that you are being paid in STEEM and SBD and not actual USD. This means that your rewards have the potential for being profitable.

Currently your post rewards say $0.25, but at one time STEEM was priced at $8.40, while its only $0.46 right now. If it goes back to $8.40, which I think it will, your rewards for this post would 18x. That's a $4.50 reward!

Memos are a great tool for promotion, but we have to be respectful. There are many people on Steem that dislike it. I feel differently, because by sending me a memo, you are paying me to take a look at your offerings. I like this idea. However, I also support development that allows us to decide what the minimum amount is that can be sent to us.

For some people, 0.001 STEEM is valuable, for others its not worth their time receiving the information. So, I look forward to accounts having an option of limiting what transactions can come to them. For example, if someone sent me 0.1 STEEM or SBD to advertise to me, sure, why not?

My junk mail can end up with 1000 messages easily, so if people valued my attention enough to pay me 0.10 STEEM to send me a memo, I'd gladly receive it. 1000 memos could get you 100 STEEM for your attention. That's cool.

But once they implement the feature that allows us to pick the minimum amount sent to us, I'm definitely making it 0.10 STEEM. Because the memos can get to be too much. That's why, while I use memos as well to communicate messages to others and promote, I realize its important to do it sparingly and respectfully.

"One day, in the future I would say that Steem might be profitable for content creators"

Hope not just for content creators😉
Steem have a large potential as we can see nowdays that more and more dapps are built on it.
I hope or lets say i wish steem will br much much more in the future.
I enjoy to create content but also i like to invest as much as i can. With the SMT-s i am sure there will be a new start here on our block chain😊

I expected a greater degree of discussion about SMT this month. Care to share any insight about either, what we can expect, and/or why has there not been much news?

I think this is same situation as a magic dice. They didnt communicate much they are working.
I hope with the SMT's we will see the same. I dont care the news i care the reault. 😊

Posted using Partiko Android

Yep. They will be also smt's And the devs of the dapp they also doesnt gave much information. But the new game will come.
So if the steem inc. makeing the same that they work on the project we just have to wait.
By the way maybe i am wrong but i think the price of steem will also jump as soon as the SMT's will be ready so it means we can still buy now. Sooner or later they will be launched😉

Funny you mention game. I see virtual worlds becoming big very soon. Don't know how VR and blockchain are getting along, but gaming through Ethereum is very promising and Steem compares future changes to Ethereum.

Yeah Steem will jump with the success of SMTs

do you mean dlux.io example? Hopefully i have tokens there also😁

Dear @hobo.media

One day, in the future I would say that Steem might be profitable for content creators to the point that one could make a living from it. At this time, I believe it is much more like an investment than an income.

Absolutely. Right now traffic here is to small and all we do is build "infrastructure".

Great comment buddy.

Memos are a great tool for promotion, but we have to be respectful. There are many people on Steem that dislike it

Very wise words. We do need to be respectful in the first place.

But once they implement the feature that allows us to pick the minimum amount sent to us, I'm definitely making it 0.10 STEEM.

Ups. That would mean - end of "MEMO communication" between us bububu.

Cheers

I think it is very tough to get decent upvotes on steemit, no matter how excellent one writes. Upvotes depends on herd mentality here. People upvotes whom they think as the influential person. Some powerful people have many accounts who votes them or they self upvote their post.
Sending memo is a good idea but I think a few people bother to click the link sent with those memos.
However, one should not get disappointed. If one writes post usind busy.org, esteem app or Partiko, one can get good upvote from them.

Dear @akdx

Love your mature and kind comment.

Sending memo is a good idea but I think a few people bother to click the link sent with those memos.

If you send memo to someone who doesnt know you then that will be result. 1000 memos to strangers 2-3 comments.

At the same time if you receive memo from someone you like / who is supportive etc. then change of opening is way higher. 10 memos to "friends" gives easily 2-3 comments.

So it is important to build strong follower base first and then start sending memos to them. Does it make sense?

ps.
You keep posting really quality content. Perhaps you could always send me memo with link to your publication and 2-3 sentences description ? I will gladly support you with upvote, will drop a comment.

Especially if your publication will be related to crypto,blockchain,AI, economy or psychology (just don't send me memos like every day hehe)

And if I will have some time then I will also share your publication with my larger audience and will help you get some extra traffic.

Please keep in mind, that you can count on my help (whenever I can support you, I will) :)

Cheers
Piotr

Memos can be useful because it is a way you can use to keep in touch with other users, it is a way and means of maintaining contact with many users.

Dear @adewararilwuan, That is a great idea and it is certainly effective, it is an initiative that my good friend @crypto.piotr is using. He is trying (with much effort) to integrate a community around AI and cryptography, a community that does not make any kind of discrimination, but is designed to help all the users in steemit who have growth problems.

The problem that we find many times with this of the memos is that the person who receives the support forgets the one who took the time to support him, I understand that the idea behind all this would be to create permanent relationships between the users of the platform as it has been proposed by the same @crypto.potr.

Could you visit the accounts of those few people who stopped making interesting comments in your publication? And then show your own support by leaving a unique and valuable comment? The idea behind this is simple: I want to help people who get involved with their audience.

I think that would be more effective and reciprocal.

Blessings to you
Fondly
Pr EV

Dear @fucho80

Amazing comment buddy

The problem that we find many times with this of the memos is that the person who receives the support forgets the one who took the time to support him,

That is my job to remind people and refresh their memories haha :)

Cheers
Piot

I agree with you .
Thanks man!!
