I'm new to steemit and have been told a few times not to put out quality posts right now because they won't go anywhere, save them until I become a whale and then they will be seen and read; so for now I'm just putting out stocking fillers to build up my followers and such and then put out the quality posts. If I don't use bots I find I get around zero to 20 cents a day and that means I'd have to be here on steemit for many years to rise very far. But I live and learn by reading posts like this and the comments...

When will you post the quality ones then? On your first year? For me I put out quality posts here when I feel like it. But when I started of course I felt bad not getting lots of upvotes. Usually if you're part of a community that's when we get more upvotes and if we comment around a lot.
The first 4 months were long quality posts and I got hardly a vote. I don't know
Oh I know the feeling. 😁 When you did that were you also going around commenting? Maybe I will write an ebook and tell people how to earn on Steemit too. 😂😂😂 Without bidbots. And i'll sell it on Amazon. Haha.
But then again maybe after Steemit changes. Hmmm. 🤔 Haven't really checked when the changes will take effect.

What changes; and yes I was commenting
Oh my there's like some fork happening or some kind of change with how the voting will be. That's what the witnesses and others are saying. Haven't really read much on it though coz I'm not hardcore around here anymore. If I was I'd have left a long time ago.
Have you found any communities to belong to yet? If you wait for whale upvotes it's not gonna happen. U still gotta work it out here.

I'm on steemitbloggers and get a vote most days, but I'm still not getting on average more than 15 cents a day on my posts. So to make myself feel better just lately I've been using bots to make it seem as if I'm more popular, a kind of fake it until you make it kind of thing...
Sometimes it's also abt the right tags. Getting a few cents is normal to me by now. 😁 No whales afaik go around looking for minnows or redfishes to upvote. Only dolphins do that, otherwise you still have to "work it" on here in order to get noticed and get bigger upvotes. 😂

You won't become a whale with "stocking fillers".
So how do you become a whale?
Establish yourself in communities that will support you and that you want to support in turn, build a network of like minded people, consistently post quality content, support and help others. Become a respected Steemit user rather than someone like Joe who is only out to scam naive people.
This isn't a get rich quick scheme, it takes time and lots of effort. Unless you want to pump a lot of money into Steemit yourself, and there's no harm doing that. Personally, I take pride in the fact that I've built up my Steem holding via posting content rather than investing my own money in the platform. Each to their own though.
I write creative literature, and not many understand that, so I put in a few simpler posts to try to get a few more followers and comment as much as I can find something to comment on
Sounds like a good approach. I checked your profile and like your content.
Thanks, I like to be progressive
