RE: To Serialize or Not to Serialize? [Discussion]
Great minds think alike. I have started serialising some pieces myself with the idea of doing a novel in this form if it works out. I don't have your reach and, without wanting to point out the obvious, neither would a new account. I, like you, created one anyway. But it remains unused as yet.
My advice on the previous chapters would be to decline payment on them if they've been previously published on Steemit. It will still build a following even if it does nothing immediate to fill your purse or wallet.
It can be done. I've seen it done. I've done the math and, even from a very slow start like mine, it should be worthwhile down the line.
Looking at the value of the upvotes on this query piece alone in one hour, this will definately be worth your while.
I'm already following you, so I look forward to your first chapter.

Since it's been so massively re-written, and since payout declined posts get reduced visibility, how about I donate 100% of the SBD received for posts that are too similar to chapters previously posted to some community steem initiative (of the commenters' choice)?
An excellent idea! Do you want to leave it to the commenters? Bound to be someone upset if you choose one of their charitable purses over another. Why not use it in your curation endevours and whaleslap a few newbies? Just let it be known that's what you're doing. I can't think of anyone that would object to that especially if you featured them and their creations. Strangely, in this way, you could get the coin back from new posts.
Either way, great idea.
Have you seen my VP lately? Dolphin-slapping around. :)
I can do better. I can use the @minnowbooster gifting feature and have a weekly post featuring the top 5 authors / posts I've purchased upvotes for with the SBD earned for chapters too similar to previously published ones. That's not a bad idea. I get to keep the SP for both posts. And SP is love.
Yes it is. I'll waive my usual commision on this one :)
Good luck.
