Today's post is a short post containing a video recording of 9 hours 30 mins of last Steemgigs discord talk show. I managed to be present on the show last weekend amidst limited energy and the talk went on. It covered the topic; "what is rewarded on steemit?" but we infused "real life", "steemit history" etc into how we tackled this topic, giving us a twist.
Do well to listen to recording as done by @ishanvirtue:
Alot goes on overall in these talks, so kindly do well to join in this weekend (on https://discord.gg/wWrnSXK). There is singing and play, creativity and invention.
Many new ones graced the event last week, so add "community and brotherhood" into the mix.
There are many people to thank overall for the success of these talks, so we will keep it short and say "thank you to all the attendees".
Special thanks to @maverickinvictus who took charge of matters before i arrived.
If you are not able to listen to the recording, kindly visit #dreemsteem which was the tag for the last talk. We dedicated that day to @dreemsteem.
Note that the main talk lasts 1 hr 30 mins; thus, if you are able to listen to the recording, you can focus on the first 2 hours of the recording.
After-party happens thereafter, which covers a mix of steem-talk, play and song.
Here is an excerpt: (Even Headless "You" Is Bigger Things Than Quality Of Content)
Did you know that on steemit, there are bigger things than "quality of content".
This "sole knowledge" will speed up your steemit journey success-wise.
Say it with me; "there are bigger things that "quality of content".
Hahaha yes, on steemit, "I am not the best writer; you are not best writer and there are many writers.
There are tons of "quality content"; what there aren't tons of; "is you!"
So perhaps, what's rewarded on steemit is "value"; the value "you" create.
Besides "you" though, let's look at some other things that may matter, when it comes to "what makes a steemit post trend" beyond "quality" of content:
- Number 1. Much of the "value" created behind-the-scenes, may be rewarded on-the-scene.
There are many "behind-the-scenes" but only one "on-the-scene". The only on-the-scene is "steemit".
Thus, a giant pay-out on a post may reflect "value", created behind-the-scenes.
e.g a developer may do sleepless nights behind-the-scenes to make steem work and may be rewarded on steemit, in the form of "giant payout" on his simple-looking post
But there is more...
- Number 2. A post may decide to trend because of its pinpoint timeliness.
For instance, a one-liner zap saying "earthquake in 5 mins", may trend over post of "6k words", if "earthquake" did indeed happen. in the next 4 mins and 59 seconds.
And who knows, the picture of a tomato may technically constitute more "valid value" on February 14, than a post containing a "gallery of onions"
- Number 3. Some posts are triggered from behind-the-scenes and have been ordained to go out there and trend, for the positive impact it may have on the community.
- Number 4. Some posts are on trending because they have been determined as of having "greater potential" to attract "a particular audience" during "a particular period".
e.g a meme author may constantly trend during a particular period, to attract "a meme audience" during "a time when meme is the craze".
- Number 5. Some posts written in Chinese and hailing from China for instance, may trend because "internet is censored in China" and these types of posts can aid the "steemit presence" in China
- Number 6. Some "post" may trend because there is "no resource" even on the entire web on the topic that post covered and it has been seen that such post, if found organically in the search engines, will do better in attracting sign-ups, if it earns substantially.
Overall, posts that trend, tend to have large amounts in potential payout as these large amounts also have a role attracting sign-ups from visitors who visit https://steemit.com
Basically, "large potential payouts" seen on posts aren't necessarily an exact reflection of just "its quality".
There may be other things apart from "quality" involved!
What have i been saying?
Much of what is rewarded on steemit is "value", that is why even the simple act of upvoting or "curating" is rewarded as well.
Now, "value" is "bigger things" than just "quality of content".
That your posts doesn't earn well, isn't a reflection of its quality.
Comparisons thus, can help you improve, but don't compare just content.
If you are to compare at all, compare "value" but since you have no real measure of this "value"; keep in mind that there are bigger things than content and value;
"YOU!"
Evolve in your very substance!

If it is a ULOG it can't really be empty because somewhere in the blankspace is "YOU".

I find it quite shocking just how much tends to get done off the blockchain than on. It does make perfect since. Blogs are just a gateway into the aftermath of an event that created it.
I’ve noticed more times than not being first is sometimes better than being quality and getting it out days later. That pinpoint of time is quite an interesting factor into everything. Something I’ve always lacked quite a bit. I rather take my time and get things up to the start I prefer then trying to beat the crowed to the front gate. Sometimes I find it worthwhile just to hold off if you are going be late might as well be fashionably late when no one is expecting to see it anymore. Then it can stand on its own for the quality it has.
Thanks for providing some cliff notes. Wish I had the time to watch that very long recording. Glad to see you are getting so much done! Have a great week.
Hello Boy Terry. How are you and the projects. Have really not been active the platform for a while, reason why have not done any post for some weeks now. But i think am back now and ready to deliver.
Now to my own comment base on the quoted comment below:
Like you will always say there is no one that does not have something to offer, but it also depends on how you accept what you do. Have learnt to appreciates myself in whatever capacity even if no one is seeing it or appreciating it. No one can say his own writing is better than another, because the other person will also feel the same way. SO WHO IS NOW THE BEST?
The answer to me lies in how you perceive what you do and how you celebrate it even if no one is doing that for you.
Just like i said in my newest post titled "Those tests are becoming testimonies". See the link below:
https://steemit.com/christian-trail/@optimistdehinde/ulog-those-tests-are-becoming-testimonies-refuse-to-give-up
It means you have to believe in what you do either writing,singing, poetry etc. before your audience can join you to believe it.
One of the reason why I like what you do @surpassinggoogle. We are still going to the moon because no one can stop us only if we stop ourselves.
Thank you and am glad to be back.
The most awaited posts of the days are the ones that come from you.
It was indeed a great show
Sad to say that I wasn't able to join the steemgigs discord talkshow. I am very busy on my study because I have to focus. Despite of being very busy everyday, I scheduled a time for atleast 30 minutes to steeming. I hope that I could join the talkshow. I missed the voices in discord channel. I missed the voice of @surpassinggoogle .
thank you @surpassinggoogle, for sharing a very useful article for me.
I hope your support.
regards @longberry
The way you encourage people is really amazing sir,thanks a lot have a great day.

With #ulogs, the value of behind the scenes can always be rewarded. Indeed, the value of humanity was pre-defined by our creator, we can't be less.
Before steemit was human, hence, there is much more value in YOU and ME.
Yes.. And the sooner the better. It's a beautiful thing if we all realize that we carry the value and in us lies the transformation for our world.
@surpassinggoogle proves to be good leader and mentor to all of us steemians. He deserved the credit here. Keep up the good work and inspiring us.
"quality content"; what there aren't tons of; "is you!" What you say there I love is the best I've read and thanks for doing a bit of summary since I speak Spanish it is difficult to understand the audio
We just have to be ourselves we do not need to be good writers here you find everything
It's the real truth. There are tonnes of quality content and the question I always ask is, who determines whether a content is quality or not? People judge contents based on their limited exposure on the subject matter still and we just submit to their limitations in knowledge. "You" is only judged by yourself and there can only be an improvement of you when you realize that there is nobody as you. Powerful message by @surpassinggoogle
I felt bad that I couldn't attend the last @steemgigs discord talk show.
However, I am happy to listen to this recording.
From #Ulog we will get to #SG_Log
(Where SG is @surpassinggoogle)
God's blessings on u Terry
I'm part of the league too. So, the "thanks" to Terry for the audio, makes two of us.
It's always a lovely time to be with @surpassinggoogle @steemgigs talk show always inspiring educative and fun with the baddest karaoke I hope you won't miss out come Saturday evening
brother, steem needs more witnesses like you, to do things well and for love.
has my vote
My point.... We need real witnesses who care more about people like @surpassinggoogle looks out for people, understanding that people are the base points for the eventual steem success. It feels like only very few of the witnesses are in for the people.
What an amazing write up Terry! You have mentioned many different factors which are very useful for us to understand. If we master these tactics we will become another Terry! Hehe
I will try to focus on these 6 points and I am sure these will earn me ultimate success in future. Thanks for sharing a great post! :)
Discord talk show, is truly inspiring to all of us. We own the credit to our mentor, @surpassinggoogle for all the efforts and ideas for his projects. More power to you and Jehovah bless us all.
Even I headless you is bigger things than quality of contents.
I don't know how you came up with this idea but it perfectly match what people don't know about Steemit. I learned early enough that on Steemit it is You that is rewarded and not necessarily the contents.
When you create value consistently, you becomes the value itself. You create what is called a cultlike followership*. Some post are trending because the author has proven himself to the community.
So, I believe people should learn to understand that they carry the value and not the post.
It's good that every talk show has a video/audio recording. I can listen to the conversation and learn from it..
Great Post and you are great person of steemit. I like it your community. I appreciate your valuable Post. thanks for sharing this...https://steemit.com/life/@konasharmin/good-morning-i-love-you--2018-07-12-01-02-12
Nice one boss!!! Keep the fire burning!
It helps a lot. I must listen to this recorded talkshow so that I can catch up some topics and the things that been tackled.
wow in 3 mins lots of upvotes. I am glad to be able to join in the talks just by listening we learn a lot. Now I only have to practice my singing but scared to because we might get a typhoon watch of #5 hahah. I will let my gecko do the singing. Thanks @surpassinggoogle for everything!
I have missed a couple of talk shows, but Ulog is very contagious. It won't let me go. Xoxo
I joined late to your talk show when the songs were being played and also got dedicated one to me! :D
I will try to join from the beginning next time so I could benefit from your wise words!
I think we get rewarded for combating spam and plagiarism. Otherwise if we all stadt doing the same will produce no value to this platform.
That thing is very important to be heard. Thanks for spreading this important message to us Sir Terry...
Excellent that we break the subjective rule of quality, each publication is made with the human value that each one of us places on it, the commitment, sincerity and dedication, that has much more value than quality, it was #ulogs in videos gives us the opportunity to show experiences beyond the camera, showing feelings, that's where our true value is.
yes sir, you are right, the value is the most important of all. by having a good value in content you can feel the emotions of it's writing. many are good quality but lesser it's value, it's just like many fishes are in the sea but only few you found it beautiful. they are almost the same because we still have mind to understand it, but those value that strikes in the heart is different. those are works that it's worth to read and it's worth to share with everyone. like for example, "love is different from like", you like it's work but you don't love it. thank you again sir @surpassinggoogle you never stop of giving me or us a new information not to be hasty in doing here in steemit. your kind of works are very inspirational, have a goodhealth and more blessings. thank you more and more.
Oh I missed it!
I can boldly say @steemgigs talk show is where I cool off after a stressful week.
Everyone loves to feel important including me 😁
When life and it issues pushes you to an extreme
@steemgigs is the right place to be where amazing people makes you feel so important and the celebrity @surpassinggoogle himself calls you his own celebrity and says he is your fan 💝 ...The love and fun on @steemgigs cannot be over emphasized
@surpassinggoogle #boostafriendsbuisnesstuesday first official introductory post is out
You might love to check it out on my blog
Hi, @mopelola,
I can only assert that you got it right on the spots.
You explicitly illustrated the excellent personality of @surpassinggoogle, once again,spot on ma'am. 👌
It is always a pleasure of mine to assist you bro and it was a good time to talk about some of the contests that Steem has.
My goal there is to further promote the Steemgigs server and the show as well as get people to join contests so that they can win prizes!
The topic was awesome and it was needed.
Excelene trabajo!
congratulations for the successful steemgigs talk show sir @surpassinggoogle keep inspiring steemians and thank you for everything!

What a great man you are sir, I have been participating in the #ulog not following all of the rules because i thought it was just about posting and using the tag.. Sir can i start the number from number 1 since i haven't been numbering.. Thanks and May God bless your Mom
I missed the past two weeks of the talk show (thanks to the recording of Sir @atongis at dlive and this recording of @ishanvirtue). Missing the talkshow feels like something's missing. Like an ice cream without the cherry on top. Lol. I wanted to have some cherry on my ice cream this week so I will make sure I will be able to attend. 🍒 🤗😘😄
