RE: Welcome Newbies and Not-So-Newbies - Hints and Tips

in #steemit7 years ago

I don't think they're getting it..... Lololol

And probably won't. When I first came here, my reputation (and followers... And then.. votes) SOARED so fast it shocked me. It's a different mentality. I mean... Don't get me wrong. Everyone loves votes!!! But if people run after the vote without at least being reciprocal... They'll fizzle out fast. But so many people come here to take instead of give. When I saw my vote go from a 0.03 to an actual penny.??? I was thrilled!!!! I spread that around like manure! Lololol

It's FUN upvoting people. And when your vote counts more....it's even more fun!!!

Now I'm up to 9cents a vote (at 100%) even though I've been silent for a year ...go figure! (Investing relatively early still paid off for me!) And notice I'm talking about my VOTE VALUE. Not my account worth lol

But really.... It's a mindset. And so many people won't get it no matter how many times you say it lol

For me... Getting votes is great. Of course! But I was talking in the chat today and said... I would rather get interaction and comments and make connections...and THEN have that result in votes. For me it's about the community and the shared creativity and the mutual appreciation.

And thanks for missing me @michelle.gent!!!! I had some major stress that led to health issues for quite some time. I blogged about it on my feed last night (and do NOT feel the need to upvote but I would love you to read it and see where I've been). And I've even writing.. even though I haven't been posting. But hope to start again. This place was therapeutic for me :)

Glad to hear back! ♥️
