RE: Anyone Else Think Steemit Feels Like A Ghost Town? Is it Proof that Without Financial Incentive Steemit isn't that Great?
The real long term asset here is quality followers; and they've never been easier to get than right now.
If you're posting quality content, there are eyeballs trying to find it.
If you've struggled to be heard over all the noise, enjoy finally having a voice when everyone else goes quiet.
It won't last long.
@mattclarke you make a fantastic point. Many people have a very short attention span. Something is great until the first sign of trouble and then everyone moves on. I see the same thing happening with Amazon Merch right now, sales slow down a bit and everyone talks about I'm gonna take a break until sales pick back up.
I thought that was kinda silly. Sales and traffic and pickup on a dime. I'd much rather keep putting up shirts. If someoen takes a month off, at 50 shirts uploaded per day which is probably more ambitious than realistic but at 50 shirts per day after a month I got 1500 more shirs uploaded than them.
I think in business or even in growing a following if you can persevere when tohers go away it can be very powerful. Right now the earnings are shit and even the experience on here is kinda shit with a lot of the people I like being absent but like you said right now is a great time to gain a following and maybe "catch up" to some people who were ahead of you if they take a step back. Oftentimes playing the longterm game can really put you ahead
I'm not here for now. I'm here for 2023.
Good point.
However, I believe steemit will get big by 2020, or it will not.
