RE: Why I won't vote for you if you offer me something in return

in #rant8 years ago

I understand. I'm a minnow and I'm having a very hard time getting noticed. I haven't joined any clubs so I'm out here in the ocean alone. Not easy swimming upstream.

Answered your own question fellow wee fishy, join a club or something. It's a pretty big ocean and it's good to stay in schools.

@bleedpoet
Thanks for your response. I will certainly consider it. Do you have any suggestions which one is the best??

I joined the PAL (peace, abundance love) group on Discord. It is a great place for minnows to learn about contests, associate with different languages and ask questions you may have. @gmuxx would be able to explain it better than I, check his page, he is a great champion of the movement, and a better guide than I.

Thank you my friend, I will check it out.

Like I replied to someone else, you have to be patient and persistent. Write posts you really care about, engage with the community, you'll be fine. I made almost nothing the first few weeks I joined. I've never asked anyone for a vote, and I don't have any whale friends. I'll never be a top author, but I don't want to be. My goal always was and I'm content to have created my own niche.

I joined today but I am surprised at how people beg for votes. This community should be about creating value and not another get rich quick scheme. Money should be reward of value created.

True, it also looks scammy and unattractive to new people who are considering joining.

But it is possible with consistency and quality posting to connect with a group of real life people from around the world who will like your content consistently over time. That will build up your reputation and Steem Power; the rest will follow.

Hi Suzie, I'm a minnow too and I decided I'd like to swim in a school and within a few days of creating my account I started to create my own school of minnows. I'm calling it Team #minnowtowhale The premise is community involvement. We're looking for minnows that know the value in helping one another. No silly stuff, no rules other than be kind to one another and no cost other than time spent helping one another grow. If you're interested let me know. Check us out here 👉🏼 Team #minnowtowhale
Great luck!

yeah I agree

Been there.Still fighting to be seen right now. I have found that the best way to get noticed is consistency of quality posts and commenting. You could also start a collaborative project with friends, something like steemsports or TheDailySteemit

Actually clubs on interests are a good thing. But when these interests concern only earnings - not so much anymore :)
