RE: New to Steemit. A minnow's perspective on the platform.

in #crypto • 5 years ago

😂😂 Thanks @sloberchops for stopping by. You really got me for a minute there. I do wish I had joined the platform when I first heard about it about 2 years back. Regrettably with school and all I wasn't so keen on investing my time in anything other than books at the time. I have since come to realize my mistake because most of my friends who chose to invest a bit in crypto have since gained quite a lot in a matter of a year and some. About bots as a newbie on here it feels like my only option of getting value from my work atm. Aside from guys like you, I find it very difficult to get a break. If I could take you guys and multiply your support somehow I would because as much as I'm using bots I'm aware that there is a problem and its not a long term solution but I feel like at the moment, having been on here for almost a week, in that time I have read lots of stuff from members who have been here sometimes for a couple of years without getting a single vote on their work. I'm still getting a feel of the platform but at the same time I need to get value from that somehow because I'm here for the long term. About BOTs going through a transition period that would be great but my main issue is aside from guys like you supporting new members like myself, whats the way foward in terms of onboarding newbies and making sure we don't feel the need to pay bots for visibility?

I saw the dialogue between you and @nonameslefttouse. He's a little suspicious of you as you come across too worldly about the platform. Maybe you are, but I'll take you at face value, and just hope that you are what you appear to be.

He's one of the best people on this platform, so don't think of him badly for this.

Anyway.. on to more positive things... the tribes. These are relatively new and another way of advertising your work in the form of tags.

If you are using Steemit to post, then I would advise to you to change to busy.org (just for posting). The reason is the max tags is around 12 as opposed to 5.

When I say tags.. it's these...

You could have used #palnet #neoxian #marlians as well as the five that you did use.

You then may get rewards in other tokens as well as STEEM for your post and work.

The is the place to see your tokens. I really need to write some kind of guide about this. Some tribes are generic and some specific for certain types of content.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't know that was possible. It will definately improve visibility not only for me but for all newbies as well. I think writing a guide is a perfect start because coming here, I haven't come accross one that points people like me in that direction. Also about my discussion with @nonameslefttouse, you are right I will try not to take it personal. I do have an idea though and I'm going to put it to him first.
