Ugly truth
"Let's face the truth. There's very little to no real readers here."
Im not really sure if I agree. I created my account less than month ago. And I managed to build engagement bigger than I ever did on facebook within past few years.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Friend. Let's do some study on your account.
You have more bot votes than your organic votes each time you put up a post
You have some organic votes, majority of them (shall I say us, I'm 1 of them) came for the curation reward as they(we) are expecting you to purchase bid bot votes
Take the total number of comments on your post, divide it by 3, that's about the number of people really engaged with you. Many of a time, 1 single users will have multiple comments.
Anyway, that's my own perspective. Or may be I have higher expectation in terms of "engagement". But generally, that is also partly my own problem because my topic doesn't really fit the general category of Steemit discussion, which majority in crypto related.
Hi Dave
Indeed I used every possible method to promote my content here and reward all curators as much as I can. I tried to do the same with facebook.
If I use same content here and on FB and I will spent same amount of time and resources on both, then results will be very different.
All your points are pretty much (more or less) correct. But again: look at my posts about crowd machine or latest contest (around 30 people were commenting). Reading comments alone can take half an hour or even more.
For that reason I still believe Steemit rocks! Could I achieve with other social media platforms? Not really. Those comments = real engagement.
Dont get me wrong. Im not bragging about my skills / luck etc. It just it look like you're losing your spirit and I hope I can point out some reasons to make you believe in steemit again.
The problem is that you're huge expectations. I've been working as a social media marketer for quite some time and whenever Im talking to a client then Im explaining that if 2-5% of his followers will be genuine and engaging then it's already great result.
So if for each 100 followers 2-5 are engaging with you then it's a good result already.
Got your point there. Perhaps I need another account for crypto talks. Hehe.
Why such a bad mood?@davidke20 I just read it twice. And I see many others did.
Thanks for replying. I hope my comment above didn't offend you. The mood you're referring to, if you're talking about my mood, that's because I wish to have more. But if you're talking about vibes, nah! I just like to rant sometimes. I'm still blogging anyway! LOL! It's simple, I can stop blogging stop accepting anything from Steemit, than I'm free from all these heartache. Don't you agree? Sorry to have channel these negative vibes to you. My friend.
Not at all. No reason to be offended. I just noticed that you seem to be quite grumpy lately :)
And it made me a bit worried.
You do know for a fact that a customer that complaints, it's because the customer do care about our business? Look at this at the bright side. I'm voicing these out to show "the man" what I wanted and what I don't like. Trust me if one day I decided this is no longer my playground, you won't see grumpy me around anymore. No more complaint, no more voice, no more post. Hence, don't worry my friend.
