My first time doing this on SteemIt 😋 - DAY 10 of 30 day writing challenge

in #challenge30days7 years ago

I’ve been thinking about the system of SteemIt. I’ve seen that with HF19, my vote pool gets really fast depleted, so this is no fun for being a minnow without giving at least 1 cent, and also being under 500SP one can’t choose how much SP he wants to use. After 20 votes you lose the ability to send the maximum amount. Through some other interface, I managed to get the percentage down so to vote more people during the day.

As I see it, HF19 brought us the possibility to vote more people for the same amount as in HF18 only tuning the voting power. This is a very good option.

I know already that a minnow shall post and comment not vote, but it is such a good feeling to press the upvote button and to see that number change. My account was very low on power, so I needed to change it:

So I did my 1st deposit on SteemIt😎:

Why I did?

  • To validate the concept. I am strong believer in it and also think that you have to put something in, before you take something out ✅
  • To motivate myself to do better work, impovered by the line above ✅
  • It is a good investement ✅
  • Will raise my SP, so therefor more votes can be given a day ✅

Proposed to myself to deposit weekly so that on the long run the account will grow. Also one year, no cashouts.🤑

Every minnow should put some small amount in the platform just to be committed to bring more value.🎯

Wow. Thats the spirit. I like you Zeal. When i first joined without making anything on the website, i made my first deposit knowing that i will be earning big very soon. And indeed the site has been so good to me. Now at full power. I can upvote someone to 45cents or so

Thank you @tj4real. It is nice when someone more experienced drops by.

I see you are the self entitled Africa Ambassador. I'm thinking about a minnow mentorship program where an experienced Steemian takes care of a little minnow. Would you be interested to join the mentor side?

This post received a 2.1% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @alexvan! For more information, click here!

Congrats for the courage. May you get a lot more back!

You're not saying bad. I will take in consideration future deposits on Steemit.

I saw your upvote power, it changes some 0s when you hit the button.

It does may friend, it does. Till end of the year I want to be a dolphin. Dolphins are smarter then minnows and have a better sex life 🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately, the voting power is going down easily :)

You tell me :))

I upvoted now all to 100% but I see the rewards dropping. Next will normal 3.14% votes, then let's say 2,71% and last 1.61%(I think this is real geeky stuff)

Great to see you're a believer too @alexvan!

Like John would say:
"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one"

Great advice for beginners!

Thank you @commstech, we all need to start somewhere.

Nice move, I like the "give-before-you-ask" approach, I think it always brings more benefits on the long term. Congrats and steem on! :)

@raluca, total agree with you. But it is also a risky investment if I start deposit every week, but no risk, no fun 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

I have currently the same problem. Being under 500 is no fun. Though i promised myself i will earn the the 500 mark before i make another investment. :P your win, take my full vote!

This was my plan also, but I said, I'm sick of it, it is not me. If I see a shortcut that is not hindering in the end, I take it. Also in real estate where most of my money is, I leverage. It is always better to be at the longer end of the lever.
