RE: Reflections of a Newbie (and some Questions too!)

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I am, also, curious about everything > so we have a lot in common. I totally understand your frustration. What I've been doing is commenting and upvoting. and getting to know people. Informative and funny comments can make money when people vote on them. Unfortunately it takes time to get noticed. I've been very discourage posting my original works so I have another plan of action until things change. Using catchy titles. I've, even, reposted > incorporating two posts modifying many images and rewriting and creating a new playful title. This received more comments, views and rewards. Not much but more than 2 and 3 cents which is humiliating when other posts with 1 out of focus photo and a few words are getting $20 to $30 plus dollars. I know things will change, but I don't know when... so do all you can to save your self esteem.

Thanks for the great suggestions. Especially about reposting and incorporating posts together! Great advice. I'm really glad we share the same concerns and I don't think we are alone. It can be humiliating when hard work doesn't pay off and the goal of this platform is to be recognized, but I think focusing on the community and getting to know people is the most important thing we can do. :)

I agree with all you say. Thank you for stopping by and visiting me. If you do repost and merge posts be sure to chantge enough that it's fresh and not just a cut and paste. Best to all you do.
