My STEEM journey... Part 5

These blogs are a series of posts about my “digging deeper” into STEEM’s possibilities, apps and opportunities. I’m trying to learn as much as possible and I want to share these experiments and experiences with you my fellow STEEMians. It’s the kind of post series I would have loved to have for myself when I started here in STEEM. Well at least I try to live up to this ideal whit my articles. But again I do this for myself to document my – hopefully – progress here in STEEM. Maybe these are of some help for you too?

Anyways I’m very interested in your feedback!

Here the list of posts in this series I’ve published before:

190502 https://steempeak.com/@doifeellucky/my-steem-journey-part-3

General points...

Too early to say but it seems that in the latest article I’ve again going to get a little more recognition, upvotes and interaction with fellow Steemians! Nice!

I won’t put out a STEEM bounty for this one but I’ve bought upvote/resteem service from:

@raise-me-up https://steemitwallet.com/@raise-me-up/transfers

Transfer

Feedback message

Resteem

and

@anonwhale https://steemitwallet.com/@anonwhale/transfers

No feedback message from @anonwhale tho.

Nonetheless here's the promised resteem.

Just to explain again… as I wrote in my first article on my STEEM journey I did not want to use any extra dedicated "boosting" by buying dedicated upvote/resteem services (but I’ve got vests placed for general “lifts” in recognition / see my delegations under https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html) for a set of articles. Just to see how they would be recognized organically.

So the articles 1-3 besides a STEEM bounty I put on the 3’rd article which can be a form of boosting too.

Here the overview of the different articles in regards to upvotes, resteems, comments and expected USD/SP values.

As I wrote in my last report already there are a lot of factors that come into play when determining the success of content.

Obviously these are but not limited too...

  • Following
  • Quality of previous posts
  • Subjects handled
  • Right or wrong tagging of posts
  • And many others…

So these factors as well as possibly structure and quality of the regarding writeup may all play a role in the success of an article or an STEEM blog as a whole.

Again… I’m very thankful for all readers, upvotes, resteemers and commentators! Part of this journey is to check out where one can get to with such a set of posts in the form of experiments.

In general it should not come at any surprise to you as fellow Steemians that recognition here in STEEM is everything to get curation and to grow an account._
Of course this way of looking at my efforts here is no scientific hardened approach but it should give an rough estimate about what’s achievable given all the previous mentioned factors.

Like I wrote before I’m still doing this rather for myself than to expect big returns but again of course I would love it if it’s of some use for my readers.

Log of activities and reports in this series so far:
My update for today on my "todo's" I've again placed between the bullet points. So let's see...

  • learn something about STEEM or STEEM projects every day!

  • ☑️ Yes that happened again! - There are still another 4 STEEM projects/initiatives left that I will look into one after the other. I will do that in the following days.

  • Blockchain analysis: I’m still working on that…

  • Text from yesterday’s article about this… I started digging deeper yesterday and today into our STEEM blockchain. I’m still in the middle of this so it’s to early to report much at that point but I can drop you some hints what I am looking for… - What are the most successful accounts doing besides their posts and curation to grow their following and SP? - From which account to account interactions could you come to the assumption that they are handled by the same individual or group of individuals? - Why is this of interest? I'll give you some more hints... pseudo intransparent upvotes/resteems, bidirectional referral handling (collecting on referrals, bonuses and so on) just to name two examples that are used to "make" more STEEM. - I stumbled over this while I was looking into how fellow Steemians invest into SBI.

To clarify... I won't drop any account names but I'll report about the methods and mechanisms that I seen. I can tell you so much already... I was shaking my head a lot the last few days not because of what I've seen here but because how naive I was... hahaha!

  • Post something every day? - Yes… this article I’m writing right now will be posted today.

  • I’ll still try to post an article everyday (besides share2steem Twitter to STEEM posts).

  • Still very important(!!!), fight the urge to type every brain fart into a post! note to myself... fight harder...
  • use my SP more for curating and supporting others rather than generating "autopilot" returns?

☑️ I touched this point before and came to the following conclusion.

  1. I'll stick with both for the moment
  2. I will use autopilot for some of my SP to make returns on my investment
  3. I will also continue to manual curate and engage further with the community
  4. Especially if there are changes implemented in the STEEM blockchain that give curators more returns for their effort and things start moving in a more profitable direction for manual curators I reckon I'll make some quick changes here... given that I have the time to do manual curation properly.
  • Is it acceptable to further use upvote/resteem services for a smaller account like mine? - Yes, and therefore CLOSED (see Part 4 article on this)
  • can I do something to improve STEEM? - Maybe... but also CLOSED (see Part 4 article on this)
  • Am I engaging enough with the community? - ☑️I’m not sure about this… at least I’m doing all that I can to keep up with curating, comments, replies and so on. I’ll revisit this on a regular basis.

So far my update for today. I'll keep you posted!

And again... of course I would like to hear from you about this post or the apps mentioned or your experiences or anything! Go ahead and leave a comment if you like!
