RE: Mini Pool Meeting | Hanging with some Whales | Why Steemit Needs to Become More Content Focused
Good video man. I am a beginner on Steemit but my account is slowly getting bigger. What I find is that people are using the same tactics to get bigger or more money on Steemit as Instagram for example.
On instagram, you'll have lots of people that use comment bots that post generic comments on your pictures. You know what I'm talking about: the generic ones that just say "nice pic" or thumbs up. Something is happening on Steemit that is similar to that. I have a particular post on there and some user just commented "Nice post!" and made $0.35 from that based on 2 upvoters. The thing is, those same 2 people that upvoted his generic comment didn't even upvote or comment on my post. Why would someone upvote a completely generic comment yet not the OP?
I hope my content can get more exposure to be honest. The thing is, I don't even know how to get my posts more exposure. If I have posts that I want more people to see, what are my options? Thanks for the STEEMITREBELS tag, that seems to help. Once I make a post, people have a certain time span to see it on the New section or whatever tag I post it in, but once that is over, how can I get people to actually see my content after it has been scrambled with all the other posts? That is what I am currently trying to figure out.
hey kenan, great comment buddy. Yeah like you said the same tactics are being used on INstagram and other platforms where there's no monetary gain or where the monetary gain is a more roundabout one ie on Instnagram you dont make money just buy getting likes or follows you have to do even more work to monetize that account be it selling the account, selling shoutouts, affiliate marketing so with Steemit where you can make money directly off the bots actions I think it's going to be even more widely used.
Kind of interesting along this topic is someone had posted I believe on here or Youtube can't find the comment that Instagram is really cracking down on that stuff
They are cracking down on it. They shut down Mass Planner, which is an app that does auto-like, auto-comment, auto-follow, etc. Since then, my account barely gets these generic comments anymore.
