RE: The Future of Steemit
I wish I could just reach five. I post quality posts once a day and I don't even have anyone to see it, not to talk of an upvote. Meanwhile, there are people abusing the system to make 10k+ a day.
And... what communities have you joined and actively contributed to? You wont get any votes without followers and you wont get any followers hidden by yourself in a dark room posting. There are over a hundred great thriving steem subcommunities to participate in, and you must participate to get value from them and build relationships.
People come here expecting money to fall from the sky or something. Do you have a project? Are you building a following by adding value to the ecosystem? Have you joined communities and been a friend to make a friend?
You can open a pizza shop, but the register wont fill it self you have to make great pizza (content) and then maybe sponsor a kids sports team (participate in the community) and then advertise (actively be in your communities being a friend to make more friends, who will then follow you and vote on your content, if its worth voting on.)
Or you can complain your way through it, expect it to magically happy, post finger pics and whine, while those of us with less than 7 months on the system have earned 10-20 grand in steem and sbd which a LOT more in fiat, built massive followings, contributed projects, software or community leadership to the ecosystem and actually WORKED to earn our income, because this ain't no magic ATM machine.
^^^^^ This, this and more of this. Why do people struggle to understand that the best way to make this platform a success for themselves and everyone else is to WORK at it.
I literally made no complaints. I do put out great content and I am working my way up. I was just pointing out the fact that some people are cutting corners. Did not say I would stop making great contents or anything. Was just making an observation based on the post and added a funny gif.
@sircok I am new here so I have lots of stuff to learn. I must say thanks for your comment, it was very insightful.
Why not resteem your post- invest steem to get steem. Its simple. The front page of the newspaper goes to the highest paying client. If you arent confident your posts have value, and dont invest steem into reporting them, you remain in the back pages, in the classified ads, if that makes any sense.
You cannot resteem your own post and the front page goes to those with the most views or comments no highest paying clients. I do plan to invest in steem, I'm investing my time and while I plan to invest my money, now is not a good time. Also, why do you think you should put in money to get money? Steem should be about content not pay to play. We already have enough of that in our government and it's sickening.
I agree, but thats the way it is. The money you get from steem comes from.......PEOPLE WHO BUY STEEM TO MAKE THEIR POSTS STAND OUT. IVE DONE IT. When are people going to learn there is no free lunch? Look at other peoples wallets and monitor their activity- if you want to emulate their success.
Lol I agree, I would get to your position at some point but not now. All I am asking for now is a chance to prove my worth. Then when the time presents itself, I would invest financially in the program.
Get your steem power up way high, then you'll have loads of sycophants falling all over themselves to get you to upvote them.
Until you upvote yourself, then they'll scream bloody murder because you got the money from your vote instead of them.
Thanks for the advise and thanks for being polite about it. Most people around your steem power are not this polite, they are arrogant brats.
If I were willing to be one of those sycophants, I'm sure it would be higher. Lol.
Agreed. Lucky for me, I invested in STEEM before I actually used Steemit (I like to diversify my portfolio) so I got to start this account with some STEEM all ready for me. Other than that, it's way to expensive to pay-to-play as a newbie.
Goodluck with your content man! I'm in the same boat. I want to try and prove my worth with well discussed articles & blogs before I delve more into the pay-to-play.
Beavis- From Beavis and Butthead? Youve gotten fat! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! LOL
lol
YES!
