RE: Growing Smart with Smartsteem | Lesson #1: Are you ready to promote your content?

in #steem6 years ago

I put so much effort into my posts here, I spend days researching in order to provide accurate referenced material. This platform however seems to reward the whales. Hopefully, it will change someday, the best content I read is from people I follow who would not be known by many.

Sort:  

Continue to tinker and experiment.

It took me almost a year to get consistent multiple $1+ level votes. I was fortunate because early on I had a whale that upvoted me, but I kept grinding away and now have several dolphins as well as great minnow followers.

I will just have to keep grinding on I suppose. Thanks for the reply

The cream will rise to the top...eventually

Only a matter of natural order taking its course

Keep grinding on I suppose.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

It is very tough getting started for sure. I invested in steem power to increase my vote but have not seen a very big return for it yet. Everything takes time right.

Time, and focus.

Write what people want to read. I actually did a post recently with some tips to grow your following that really helped me.

Also I checked out your post- pretty good dude!

Thanks! I appreciate it.

It is hard to write what people want to read, as I tend to write what I want to research and hope it is what my readers wish to learn about. I reckon diversification is key here.

Thanks-writing and hoping will only get you so far if you really want to grow your audience. I have found the more I write the more I know what will fly and what won't.

Yes I suppose you need to stay constant in people’s minds also. I must write more often and try diversify also

Exactly. The Steem blockchain isn't great about curation, and many people use a feed that just shows the newest posts by authors at the top, so posting often (don't over do it) is a huge part of being successful here.

As @protegeaa is saying, everything takes time. And nothing can be taken for granted. If you want big votes, there has to be a reason why somebody should vote for you. Always keep that in mind.

I write for fun & recreation, and hopefully that a reader may derive some benefit from some of my content. Should any of it be deemed good enough to earn some steem as well, well-to do! There is! Ozzpower.
good night America, good morning Africa. Well, I'm at 12h33 right now and am now going back to lateral planing-zzzzz

I suppose it does take time, I wrote an article on my view of how this all works if you wish to check it out on my blog.

I will go back and look. Thanks you

Hey @cryptoguru1,

content discovery is a challenge on steem. But, the good news is that promotion tools when used responsibly can help you get more eyes on your content. Specially if you are putting that much effort.

Smartsteem Support

Thanks for the reply, I willl check out more of these tools

Keep steady, the audience here is way smaller than on other big social platforms. But i think this could change soon with HF 20. =)

Maybe, this contest is something for you: https://steemit.com/crypto/@originalworks/1250-steem-sponsored-writing-contest-digitex

I wish you big success on STEEM. ^^

Thank you, I will check this out. Much appreciated

well said @cryptoguru1, it is very sad to see great original articles with well articulated pattern of thoughts having no upvote or followers. i personally look forward towards a paradigm shift, it should not just be about popularity by value.

Yes, I totally agree, Time for the early guys to move aside and allow some of the newer content make its way to peoples eyes I reckon. So much valuable content never reaches the audience it deserves
