RE: STEEM and SBD are coming down... Hint: its a good thing for us newbies

in #steemit7 years ago

not entirely sure what you mean but create good content. I'm trying different things to sharpen my skills, i'm not a writer, though I can listen and talk...which is why I started podcasting and start curating where it goes in every episodes. As for observing, just deliver something of value I suppose. Like this post from @davemccoy, an idea I would have loved to talk about but I wouldn't need to... this seems good enough and I wouldn't improve it.

Sort:  

keep making comments like this in the other authors posts and you will go very far. Its exactly what you need to do. "listen and talk"... the more you do it, the more people you will connect with. I'm now connected to you simply because I can tell you are genuine. I try to make a minimum of 50 genuine comments a day. That is how you get to know people and (in my opinion) how you get traction here on steemit... Its a long term platform and the relatonships are real.

Thanks for reply to @zullusex, he's a great guy who is just trying to figure this out... I've tried to help him, but I don't speak much spanish so I think I have a language barrier to helping him.

Thanx for the kind words. Figuring things out is my specialty. 50 post a day is insane though. Here I think, type, rethink, go for a two day walk, come back retype... it’s a process. Though I’m making progress.

As for the language barrier, since we online, there’s google translate. I only speak and understand English and Afrikaans (Dutch derivative) but will try my best to translate and understand what people are talking about in their native language. You never know, you might just find it interested it interesting enough that you’d be hooked in translating most of the posts and comments since most of what I’ve seen sofar are something of substance.

lol not 50 posts, but 50 comments. much different.. But I'm talking like your comment here. Its not one sentence long, but it certainly didn't take you hours either... :)

And I think that is a great point about google translate, I even browse sometimes from chrome just so I can have it auto translate for me on steemit... very cool... I have made friends in korea and russia by doing this.

Oh right, sorry, morning brain. Awake now doing my ritual. I'm not a writer so I'm starting with that notion but... doesn't mean I can't convey a message although at times it feels so. I mean I'm not a podcaster or youtuber but I certainly am working hard towards it for the last two weeks. And as for making friends, yeah I try and do the same.

Steemit is a great social media tool although it's a bit tough getting into navigating around and keeping track. I'm not spending too much time here which is what I should be doing. instead Im learning voice enhancing skills and editing skills for when I do the podcasts.
