It seems this post is directed to me, I think I need to reevaluate my intentions. The only reason I joined #Hive was to make money... While that is not bad, I think it has blindfolded me, making me follow or engage for the wrong reasons.
I think having genuine intentions will make this place more enjoyable for me (or anyone) wether the money comes or not.
Honestly, the only reason I favorited your account was because you have a big stake. But by reading your blogs (this one and the previous ones) daily, I'm bigining to change my mindset.
Commenting, following only for the right reasons.
Thanks for always sharing your thoughts and being honest...
Now to answer your question:
Apart from my selfish reason mentioned above (which I'm trying to and will definitely get rid of) here's how to make the decision on who to follow...
As a small user, I follow some account that post about contest, so I can join the contest on time.
I follow any account or user that I really enjoy not just there contents but there consistency.
I follow some accounts just to study them, see how they have grown over the years and what I can learn from them.
That's all for now 😅.
Thanks once again 😃🙂🙂
Hey there, yep you and many others have come here for the money, it's actually really obvious to those of us who have been around for a while, and so no (or very few) votes are given, and no follows.
So, I think it's good you're having a rethink.
That's why most people follow me I guess, most of the new ones anyway. There's exceptions of course, those who actually engage with me on my posts, but mostly those who follow me are after my attention for votes. The sad thing is, that they don't engage, or if they do it's rubbish like good post and stuff like that which I ignore. If they did things right maybe they'd be getting more vote attention from me.
I appreciate your honesty in saying it though, I like people taking ownership and responsibility.
I see your three points and suggest maybe that you don't follow people just to study them, put them into your favourites list instead. You can always follow later. Also, I suggest you don't just post on the contests...It's clear who does so and why they do it...Post for the enjoyment of it, use your own photos where possible, not stock images, don't post too often and make sure you follow community rules. Engage with others (with relevance and interest) on their posts (but don't pester them) and shift your thoughts away from money...see value in the posting and engagement and the money will come later.
Thanks, I really appreciate your advice.
I will try my best to see how I can apply them. ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Thanks a lot
Well, none of them are difficult things I guess, so if you make an attempt I'm certain you can do it, no one's asking you to climb Mt Everest. It's on you though; you'll do it or you won't.
😅😂😂.
I understand, it's only for the best if I best your advice, If I don't, my stay here won't be enjoyable at all...
So you're right, thanks 😊😊😊
