RE: My Second Steem Anniversary

in #anniversary6 years ago

Congratulations/Commiserations for your 2nd year Steemiversary!

It's super interesting to read your journey and how it kind mirrors how I'm feeling about the platform in my own 1.5 years' worth of being a Steemian. A few close friends of mine know how I have not been feeling as enthusiastic about Steemit as I did a few months ago. In my case, getting involved with one particular dapp (I wont name names since it isn't classy) was the single ruining catalyst. After I was done with that platform's mess and people, I felt better, but ultimately, I can't lie and say that everything was untarnished.

Like some of the people that you mentioned, I've kinda upped and joined other social media places, now. Steemit used to be the ONLY social media place I was present, but now I'm building my presence in other places, and ....... I've been very lucky to have seen immediate result and engagement :)

I will try to continue my commitment at Steemit for as long as I can, so let's see if I can hit my own 2nd year Steemiversary in half a year's time.... Heh~

Hope the coming year will bring you a lot more success, Enjar <3 I love your contents and I think they have legitimate real world value. I'm still racking my brains on ways to bring eyeballs to great contents like yours. Hopefully some genius epiphany will hit one of us, and sooner than later XD

I'm still racking my brains on ways to bring eyeballs

One thing I’m going try is joining a community that focuses on supporting each other on twitter and other places. That right now is where I can get the biggest growth. That also makes it easier if I can grow my twitter for instance to approach more companies and maybe get an email replayed back for once as I try and expand.

I’m also focusing on using Palnet as that is where a lot of active people are. Trending is also not as competitive there but it uses a different vote system as well. With it being Palcoins and what not.

Ah the double dipping! Let’s hope the ecosystem does not become to fragment with 100 different platforms all with their own voting and coins!

I’m also not in a lot of discords as I prefer to invest my time into places. So there is a lot of untapped growth just not in the way I want go about it. It is quite shocking how little promoting I do of my own content in our Steem ecosystem. It's just hard to find that balance of creating content and trying to get it traffic. While I'd just prefer creating content and not dealing with anything else. That also not a great way to go about it.

let's see if I can hit my own 2nd year

You will even if I have to post reminders on your last post to please come back we miss your amazing art work.

feeling as enthusiastic about Steemit

I feel this pain. It’s how I ended up where I am now a days. I needed to cut a lot of things away and refocused again. I hope you are able to better recover then I did. I burnt out quite badly and I’m still not in the right place.

I hope you find your happiness. Sometimes you just need to focus on yourself first. There is only so much you can give and do.
