RE: How To Get Whale Votes? - There's No Magic Sticks Or Tricks.

in #steemit7 years ago

Hi @hitmeasap =)
I really enjoyed reading your article. I clicked in to see your perspective on the matter of whales. When I first joined (actually only 6 days ago) all the advice that I was receiving was basically to go out hunting for some big whale to rope in! Last time I checked, whales are pretty intense creatures and kind of tend to be out free-roaming, living their own lives unattached to mine. ;)
I got stressed out by those thoughts and pressures- what am I supposed to do? Well, I let go of all that and just decided to write what I wanted, when I wanted, and read the same way. That's when everything changed for me on here. Now since I am actually enjoying myself, it's a pleasant experience opposed to what I was describing as hell only a couple of days ago- I am not a fisherman ;)
Hope you have lots of eyes that fall on this message, wishing you the best :)
Have a great day! PS thanks for being kind in this world.

Thank you very much for your kind words. - I can relate to the feelings you had. When I first joined, 1 year ago, I saw introduction posts with potential rewards of $500+... Some even above $1000 and $2000. - My introduction post made me $0,50 or so. - But I didn't give up, and neither will you. :)

Our minds are trained to place high value on reward (usually monetary), it's how we judge ourselves isn't it? It's crazy to me how we can be so hard on ourselves if we are not the biggest whales in the ocean ;) I'm just happy to have found a new perspective and am finding the reward through the connections especially (like this one!) and will continue steeming on :)
Congratulations once more, never give up!
