Rewards = Quality * Reach.
You are thinking it is this:
Rewards = Quality.
This is why Jerry can make money off of the post you refer to. It's a lot braver post. If I post that post, it only hits 1250 people. Jerry hits 10x that. He's performing for 10x the audience, math would suggest he get at least 10x the rewards.
The reason we all tell you to work harder, make good posts, etc is because that is the only way to succeed. Some abuse does not negate this.
Apologies for the post promotion, but I think this post I just wrote is aimed directly at you. I hope it helps:
Steemit, like Life, is a popularity contest
PS - Chances are good I would vote you more than .01 on your bikini post. You know, because of the implication.
Hahaha. I love your (PS). Thank you for supporting myself esteem ;)
Yes, you are absolutely correct. Both Quality and Reach are very important. Quality bring reach again and again, while reach support quality more :)
Thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes promoting is important, because it is hard to figure out where to find the quality read.
Many Thanks again and happy to meet you and everyone else here :D
Don't forget to count the extra followers you get from each post as a "form of reward". Everyone you get could be that one who resteems you to the right people for a big upvote.
Wait. What? You get followers as a form of reward? Do tell...
I just mean that every follower you get is going to increase the expected value of all your future posts. So even if your payout isn't that great, if you got more followers, you "earned" future rewards.
Okay. My followers grew a little even though I hadn’t posted anything new in a couple days, so your comment made me wonder...
Thanks for the reply!
Will keep that in mind.
Thanks again :D
Thank you for breaking up my reply feed with something that doesn't annoy me.
