Don't go chasing Whales! You're doing it wrong! AND Introducing MSP Waves Radio - a P.A.L./Minnow Support Project production!

Hey Again, Steemitizens!

Minnows, listen up.
Are you busy chasing whales like Captain Ahab in Moby Dick?

IF CATCHING A WHALE IS YOUR ONLY FOCUS,
YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!

Let's talk real talk, because you know to expect nothing less from me, right?

Chasing whales is for the birds.

What you want to be doing is casting as wide a minnow net as you can. Get over to introduceyourself tag new posts and do just that. Introduce yourself to new people coming in. Don't be indiscriminate though. Read their posts, comment on them thoughtfully and with relevance to them, as this is about them, and not about you at all.

No follow for follow requests. Just a thoughtful response to their nervous self introduction. Maybe do mention something you have in common at most, but NO follow for follow requests.

Then play the long tail. Sit back and wait for them to find their way, their voice and their momentum. Quality followers are not likely to add you little minnow, once they have propelled well past your size in the Pond. You have to plant them and wait for them to grow, right alongside you. THEN and only THEN can you reap the bounty of that harvest, and you'll have loyal growth for generations to come from that fertilized, seeded beginning.

Many of my followers tell me I was their "first friend here" sort of like Tom from MySpace, and we all feel some loyalty to him deep down inside, don't we? He made us feel welcome and included. And in turn, gave us a platform for our voices.

See the parallel?

Let me make this perfectly clear for the visually attuned who quit reading already....

UNDERSTOOD?

OH, Just one more thing I'd like to mention...

The Minnow Support Network and PAL Net have teamed up to bring you a new steemit streaming station with interactive, audience participation programming via discord, hosted by our MSP Discord Jockeys and streeming live starting in the first week of August.

Be sure to watch for more announcements about all the cool new shows we have planned, hosted by fellow minnows and dolphins and whales from the MSP community, and of course, don't miss my own upcoming new talk-radio "Monday Night Minnow School" show series being broadcast on none other than the MSP Waves Radio Network - a production of PAL Net and the Minnow Support Project!

I'll be on, hosting Monday Night Minnow School on Monday night's at 8 EST (GMT-4), starting on July 31, 2017! Think Leo LaPorte from TechTV merged with Dennis Miller Rants and Dennis Leary comedy. Looking forward to see you in the live show chat discord, so we can cover the waters you minnows need to swim in, for success on steemit.com!

Right after my show, stay tuned for everybody's favorite laid back Aussie Discord Mod, with his show, "The Sammo Experience", a later night monday musing from the mind of the man himself. Should be quite a ride on Monday nights with the two of us, back to back to edutain and entermuse you!

See you there!

Find out more at http://mspwaves.com or by following @msp-waves here on steemit.com and join us in the PAL Net/ MSP Discord with over 2700 minnow friends right over HERE

And just like that, this post is over.

Full steem ahead, steemitizens!
