RE: SELF-VOTING ON STEEMIT - WHAT PAPA THINKS (A RANDOM RAMBLE FROM PAPA-PEPPER)
I stopped self voting a while ago, my votes are so small still I'd rather share them with others. Do you have any idea where I can find out how long new accounts are taking to be approved? A few people I'm trying to introduce to it have been waiting like 10 days
@adammillwardart This Post by @timcliff should help you learn to create accounts without waiting. (Self voted for visibility.)
I'll vote some for visibility too! Thanks for the help!
Same here, I invested money so I can upvote myself! But nobody posts 10 times a day so I got upvotes left to like people in my genre.
voted ur comment :)
I do not know, but I'll upvote this comment to help others see it. Maybe one of them has an answer.
Thanks! Hope so, I'm friends with a lot of artists and independent clothing brand owners etc.. A few have already started Steeming, but a few are still waiting ;)
Same here. I figured I could give myself 4 upvotes a dayish, or I could give those votes to minnows with few votes on good posts or to certain people who have supported me to this point. I go through and look at my feed and the main feed regularly and when I find the posts I want to vote on, I vote, give a relevant comment and maybe resteem. If at the end of the day I have any voting power left I will upvote comments or posts from a couple of people who have supported my journey to this point. I have met a nice little group of people, a few through @papa-pepper's posts.
I try to post a few things each day to build my blog content and build my follower base, not worrying about the money at all. The value of my own posts and comments will be determined by others.
That's a good way to do it!
I found that with the people I brought to steemit, some email address they use take longer than others, when I joined I used an icloud email address and it took 3 weeks for me to get in.
my friend used gmail and was in with in 24 hours, another used gmail on the saturday and was live by monday.
there are other ways of getting on steemit, you can by a steemit account using : https://anon.steem.network/ this is the quickes and most simple way. but costs 5 steem to get one. hope this helps :)
Within the last couple of weeks it has taken my friends around 6-8 days, but I have a friend or two still waiting. It may just be a big influx, which will put strain on it. Growing pains means growing so its good news. Also, go to steemnow.com and watch your voting power, I noticed you upvoted his reply but it was below .01. When you are starting out, you have to keep an eye out so that your votes are making a difference!
Thanks! I'll let my friends know there's still hope. I've heard different opinions about voting when your full votes are only worth .01 or .02. I lean towards better to let 50 people a day know "I dig your content" or "Thanks for your comment" than be stingy with votes that are worth so little anyway.
I think with the rule changes to youtube have alot of people coming over and its taking longer because of the flood of new people coming to steemit. Not 100% sure but i think this is maybe the reason.
