RE: Searching for the upvote "sweet spot" - following @beanz' lead

in #curation8 years ago

Right now I'm a bigger minnow and my full vote is about 30 cents. I keep my slider low and only can give a few pennies to people. I'm the kind of person who loves rewarding commenters on my posts and really good articles. I wish I could give my full vote out even though that's not much. It has killed traffic for me though. It's a much harder struggle to be a minnow when no one wants to vote or even look.

I think you hit on a very important issue that I've addressed a while ago. Basic blogging 101: People need to be aware that their featured photo, headline and the first 100 characters of their post can make or break them. With so many people posting content, if any of those 3 are off, you lose a great opportunity to snag new viewers.
