Wow! I was starting to wonder if there is any means to the madness. Some of my post are simple short BSing's from my day and do great. Then there are the long sore finger heartfelt and informative post that seem to go unnoticed. What happens to those of us that are new and gather followers that are following tons of people? I've started to look into how much vs effectiveness of promoting other people's post as well as my own... any tips or advice where that is concerned?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It's more about what you write... not just in posts, but comments. How personable you are... If you write cheap one-line phrases that don't mean much, then ... most people won't care much.
I don't know you (yet)... but what you did do is write 4-5 sentences.. and based on what you wrote.. I can tell, you're an approachable person, who really "just wants to know" and are easy to talk to.... I gathered all of that in the 4-5 sentences you wrote. :)
So that tells me a little about @inkbeard
Re-steeming was hard for me the first time. My first re-steem was about a post I really liked, and as stupid as it may sound.. a cuban sandwich. Now keep in mind Cuba was offlimits for travel from the USA for some time, and they were driving 1950's american automobiles as a regular thing there. It as only recently that USA became friendly with Cuba.
...But I was happy with his post, it seemed out of the ordinary, and different, and I wanted to try the re-steem command, and it worked.
-- I never lost any followers
-- no one complained I did it
-- I felt good about it
-- some of my followers might have liked it too....
Would I resteem posts on a regular basis? probably not.
However, if I resteem a post I think is really good, and I'd like other people to see... in the realm of fairness and good content... it just sits right with me... and if my followers like it.. it comes a win-win situation.
Only resteem what you'd like to share, OR that you think that is important or would be appreciated by your followers in one way or another. :)
P.S. good intentions, and good deeds have a 360 degree way of working back. That's what I found. I could keep secret the things I know.. but if it's good for steemit as a whole... I share them, so I can be part of its success. We're only a couple hundred thousand users at this point. I expect 20 or 30 million social media users in the next 3-5 years.... so when you put it into perspective... no one needs advantages or secrets right now.
Well damn lol...! I wasn't expecting such a quick and thoughtful reply. I wanted to reply back as a place holder for when I can fully respond to it. Getting ready to head to a clients house and I'm getting ready for work. I typically don't work Sundays yet with that being said my clients are like followers on here to me. Different in a lot of ways, don't get me wrong there. They become like family and close friends more than anything. I'm extremely blunt, forward and brutally honest. I also type the same way I talk as if you knew my voice and could hear it when reading my posts. I'll be responding a little later, once I've had the chance to really read over it. Might even blog from the clients roof here in a few. Thank you for the quick response btw.
Thank you this is a great post for us who are really strugling especialy young kids. My grandson feel so depressed for he is trying hard. I will repost this to him thank youl please look at his posts at littlebear thank you.
Ok, I won't reply until you get back. Go do your thing. (oops I just did), but nevermind me. lol. Just go... :)
Thank you for the steemit advice!! it is really worth allot! steemit is like one of those ball pits at mcdonalds or a waterpark or "pirates cove" its just like the most fun place ever that allows my imagintio nto fly, full of reward and pleasure impulses, the whole money sideof it makes it feel like its as important as anything lese we could be doing, , it just allows us to form better habits online and to monetize those good habits! We can see what others like an try an ster ourselves in that diection
