RE: STEEMIT NOOBS: It's Time To Binge Watch Steemicide Hotline Videos And Learn About The Early Steemit Dramas
This is so relatable. There are a whole host of feelings a regular steemian goes through: Excited about joining Steemit -> Making the first cent in post rewards -> Feeling like quitting job because the introduction post made a good amount of money -> Subsequent posts getting no attention -------- Disappointment stage ---(few months of continuous writing) ---- Posts start doing well.
It's a roller coaster. I am a full blown addict who had to take time off at one point because it was getting to me plus I thought Steemit might just continue going down........
It can be very depressing, especially if someone sees the same people day after day. I am sure people are not happy that my posts do well...........but I cannot do anything about that. I can only suggest ideas to help others.
Thats true. Most people don't have the patience to build something from scratch long enough to see its potential. Users with higher reputation are mostly the ones with high post rewards or else its just a passing celebrity making quick money. And it takes quite a long time to cross 60.
thats exactly what happened to me except I did not introduction post, I was screwed by the hard fork and posts were stuck at zero (i think devs paid me back later it was weird) and then i didnt do an introduction post untill i already had followers etc....and posts got atttention, ok maybe its NOT what i wentthrough but i understand...similar...but yeah i feel like i kept powering through getting little attention by just SEEKING OUT whales i figured out u coould comment on whales posts, find a post similar to mine link to it, not in a spammy way, just to say "hey lcheck my post out, " after leaving a detailed comment abo THEIR post and upvoting a bunch of whales posts, they notice and upvote back, just that their upvotes mean alot more
Yeah! And sometimes you would go check steem whales to see the usual time they come online and post a couple hours before, to make sure your post gets noticed haha
It was vey strategic back then :)
@ingloriousaction - wait, are you saying I shouldn't have quit my job?? uh-oh. haha
As long as you are making enough money on Steemit :p
