RE: Minnow Motivation ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ: Engage with your Readers to Grow your Audience

in #video โ€ข 7 years ago

I guess being very active on steemit is the success of every minnow out there. Because people who are very active whales will add them into their auto upvote list because they want curation rewards from your posts because since you are very active.

Sort: ย 

Of course, if that happens you can cosider yourself lucky. But I also find it very dangerous. I was on an auto-list from @snowflake for a few days and I started to lower my quality because I knew I would get a few Dollars for whatever I do. So I produced a little bit more and enjoyed the show. It made me a bit lazy and also depending on the upvote. When he stopped I was crushed at first but now I am super happy that I have to work for my money. I guess it is a double edged sword. Who doesn't want to take the money, right?

Agree with you. When people vote whatever the content we post it makes us less creative and lazy. We must do some hard work and it will pays off for sure. .

I never auto upvote.

yes its good to manually curate! Upvoting gains you followers in an organic process and manual curation can be profitable too! when you have a lot of steempower you end up making good profit off curation, so much more than new users would ever assume! new users have no idea what curation even means! very few have any way to understand how curation even works until they see it first hand!

so its very important we have users like you on steemit everyday all day upvoting manually because if people just auto upvote we end up with a bunch of low quality content getting upvoted! So its nice that we have manual curation!

people have a lot of misconceptions about steemit and soon the slate will be wiped clean! steemit is now just being gossiped about by a small group who dont know what theyre talking about! i see so many youtube videos where people mention steemit and the top comment on youtube is just some shit talk about ho steemit is controlled by a small few

its really not fair at all, but whatever, people want to make these same claims over and over like game of telephone, people dont like steemit because they dont make enough money but are jealous when others make good money! if THEY make a lot of ,money on a simple post they love it but when they se someone else making "too much" money off a post they make it out to be some fundamental problem with steemit because someone made $100 off a few photos of some flowers lol

People will start to RUSH to steemit when the official steemit app is released!

Ya that is because the people who have large audience will naturally make more money than the ones who don't. I do agree that is a bit unfair , but if you look closely the people with great audience have put in that much efforts to create that audience or at least invested in the community. One thing I wan to ask when is the official app coming and will the rules of the official app be different?

There is not much information about that but it should come within the next few months. I doubt that the rules will be different.

If you see dan's wallet he powering down completely, why do you think he is doing so.

He probably want to use some of it for whatever. And he worked hard for it and is not even part of Steemit.inc anymore. So when he cashes out the price will sink. But that doesn't matter when the floodgates open and the masses stream in. :)

Is he not the creator of steemit ?

He left Steemit last year and does now EOS. The co-founder @ned is running the show.

And I really, really appreciate that. I think it is important that posts are upvoted according to the subjective opinion of the curator. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that big upvote from you yesterday and maybe never made it into the trending page. Your autoupvote would have given me maybe 5% or 10% and thats it. Well, you gave me 100% because you thought it is a valuable post and obviously many agreed with you on that.

Here is a unicorn for you:

P.S. I think that was your first comment on any of my posts. So, hi there! :)

That's a nice unicorn :P

Ya auto uvpote is very unfair because some people make hundreds of dollars for posting good night or good morning. Appreciate that @fulltimegeek the community needs more dolphins like you.

Even if you would do that - Just posting in order to get on some auto-upvote-list, seems a little desperate anyways. There will probably not be great success coming from this kind of strategy!

Brothers it's just an example. I have explained the real time scenario. So. Chill.

I am totally relaxed ;)

I use autoupvote - but only for Steemcleaners and one or two other services that regulate the website. That seems to me to be a good way of supporting them in continuing to do their work

Cheers

Hey @stefen, here is your Tip! for engaging in the discussion.
