So I reached 200 followers today! OK, that sounds great, but what value is there in the number of followers if your content isn't being seen?
I did a little test and looked at the profile of random users on my follow list and most follow more than 1000 Steemians. Even an active user would struggle to sift through their feed to see a post from me. :(
I am very selective in who I follow and noticed the whale community also limits the folks they follow.
I couldn't give two hoots about the rewards, it just would be nice to receive acknowledgement for posting something of quality. Feedback is always welcome.
Too my followers, thank you for doing so and I hope this finds you well and good hope.
j'ai bonne espérance
I know what you mean but I think it just takes time to build a TRUE following. Good luck and keep plugging away.
Thank you! It's good to know a few are there!
I totally know how you feel. As a minnow I follow everyone who follows me but reponse is so poor that now I am fishing deliberately for people who share my interests. I've had some great results today.
So here's some acknowledgement: Thank you for your sane post that resonates. I'm upvoting it (a whole 1c)!
A penny saved is a...no not really. Thank you for that. You now have my follow.
I was talking with a fellow steemian a couple days ago. His is a blog that is widely read and whose upvotes carry some nice financial awards. What I inferred of his theory is that followers are like the average people you know. You have the good friends that pay attention and you can talk to and do things with and you have acquaintances of various kinds - Neighbors and business acquaintances who you expect to recognize, be cordial, and give you a 'heads up!' if you need to know something, and people who work in shops and stand in elevators and buses that you know by sight but don't know anything about...
Value your best followers and the rest will follow!
I couldn't agree more! Well put. In fact, I reply to every comment left on my posts as I believe it is simply courteous. Have a great day!
I love your original posts, and I very frequently see great posts that you lead me to by resteeming. I'm selective in who I follow because sifting through a thousand f4f posts or one liners would be very big waste of time. Having a large following that just upvotes you because you upvote them will never sustain itself. I dont really care about making big dollars on steemit. In fact, I find many crappy higher value posts that are just 5 gifs and lightly recycled content. I am here for the better quality that steemit brings, not to participate in milking the steem out of it.
Anyway, you have a real follower here. Keep up the good work, Bigskykilroy was here!
I do not engage in a F4F and do not acknowledge those that pander as such. Although, Steem Power is a magic dust on this platform, I am not motivated by it. Steem On! You too have my follow. Thank you!
Maybe if it were scratch-n-sniff...
hm some are reading it seems
Awesome! Thank you for stopping by. You are now on my list of folks I follow. Have a great day!
