Thanks for the reply. Still don't get it, I have been doing a lot of commenting and voting too. Yesterday I saw a woman who on her FIRST post had a score of 48. No comments or articles. I do NOT understand how that works, and it makes me a little nervous about the validity of the scores.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes, that sounds very strange. If you want to see what kinds of activities people are engaging in, you can use a link like this:
https://steemd.com/@steemit
Replace the "@steemit" part with the ID of the person you wish to look at. It will show you everything they do. That might give you some clues as to what they did.
Thanks, I really appreciate your transparency!
Please see my reply.
Reputation isn't about authored posts. It is about how many upvotes a person's replies to other authored posts get. You could never post and gte a 70 reputation. :)
This is how it should work. If high reputation people know for a fact that the person they are helping out is genuine and good quality, the new person's reputation should sky rocket quickly.
It isn't a function of their time here. It's how much quality other people feel they will bring to the platform. I don't need a lot of time to know that @opaulo will bring a ton of good content as an example.
Kind words. Thank you.
You're very welcome. Woosh, I'm not a bot, so that wore me out. Now, you are 45 reputation! LOL
@tip!
I think that is how it works...
I did a post promising to tip anyone who could explain this to me...
So if I were to devise a strategy to just try to up my score, I should stop posting my own content and just try to write great comments on whale's posts...?
Well, our posts don't get seem much sadly. You just don't get a lot of high reputation upvotes from posts. All the low rep bots in the world with barely any SP can upvote us without much affect.
There are two tactics to grow quickly on here. Both require good content. By good content I mean quality and meaningful writing. You can either:
Author a post with quality and valuable (based on what others think is valuable, not you) content. Then that post gets resteemed to have it seem by a lot of people.
Post a quality reply to an already popular person's reply. Your reply has to be valuable, appropriate, and add to the conversation in a meaningful way though. You cannot just post random replies. You can see some from my past that have paid a lot of money and got me a lot of positive attention.
Adding SP to your account helps too, for people tend to do what they do offline. They follow the money so to speak. More SP attracts more followers. I'm slowly adding my own SP to my account, and I have noticed that it helps.
Still, you don't need to add any SP if your content and replies are top notch. Look for posts in subjects you can add to the conversation in a good way. That's one thing I do. I'll only post replies on posts I know my opinion matters on and that people will benefit from reading.
Your reputation helps you get seen better on other people's posts too since the replies are sorted by reputation then how many votes the reply gets. The higher it is in the list, the more likely people will read it. That gets you more followers and upvotes.
I'm following you now by the way! :)
P.S. You have 51 rep. That's not bad at all. You must be doing well over all, or you wouldn't have it.
Thanks, thanks, and thanks - lots of helpful insight and back pats and a follow, all appreciated! Following you too, and this as I am going through and thinning that list to accounts I am actually interested in. Voluntaryist here. :)
I thought you might be a friend from some of the posts I read. It puts a smile on my face to meet a fellow lover of liberty! If you ever want to chat, definitely look me and other friends up in the #libertyprofessionals channel on steemit.chat! I'd love to get to know you better.
I believe chicken farming qualifies as a liberty profession, I shall drop by soon! :)
