After reading the whole post (which I seldom do as you guessed correctly) I have to say, I agree 100%!
My first plan when starting off on steemit was to post some small stuff now and then, built up a nice profile and then start going for the big guys. Luckily I changed my plan and went for the very big but seldom posts instead. They did get the attention of Curie (by a huge amount of luck)
My current strategy is pushing out one big quality post per week but that doesn't give me much screentime on the "new" page so I will have to look into some new ideas.
Anyways great article and great profile you got there, followed! And Im not telling you this because I want you to check me out aswell (well maybe a little), but because I want to express how much I like your content :P
Haha, Thanks for reading it completely. You were lucky to get noticed by curie. I got to know about curie when I was already 52 with reputation, and thus never got voted by it even after writing good content. :(
Anyway, I think being on "trending" is more important then being on "new". Isn't it?
Aww, I will check you out because of your honesty ;) . Thanks a lot for appreciating and commenting :)
Yeah unfortunatelly Curie is not only about skill but also about luck..
I agree, one post on "trending" is worth more than 20 posts on "new". However to get on trending you need a extremly strong fanbase, or some whales.. Or atlest a very strong fanbase which can get you to "hot" and then to "trending".
Yes !!! So true and so sad :(.
