Most People Forget to Do this ONE Thing While Using Steemfollower...

in #steem-help7 years ago

Yo! It's ya boy @d-pend, the (temporary) support-the-arts pseudo-whale, comin' atcha with an important Public Service Announcement!

.
I'm sitting at 40K SP for the next few weeks, and I'm using Steemfollower to dole out support to artists on that use the service. If you missed my Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Receive More Upvotes Using Steemfollower or my Introductory Post Explaining What Steemfollower Is check 'em out!

WE STILL NEED MORE QUALITY ARTISTS USING STEEMFOLLOWER!

.

It's a free service, secure, safe and easy to use. Let's get more excellent art on the site so we can strengthen a mutually supportive creative community!

.

Now, Onto the ONE Thing People Are Forgetting!

Guys, this is really simple. Like, this shouldn't even be a post! But anyway, the most important thing to remember on Steemfollower is to KEEP YOUR POINTS BALANCE ABOVE ZERO or your posts will NOT appear.

What this also means, is if you have a somewhat low balance, and a dolphin or whale upvotes your post, YOUR POINTS WILL GO BACK TO ZERO. So you need to return to the upvote exchange and cast some magic STEEM spells on people's posts to get back in the game!



So... yeah. Like I said, this almost shouldn't even be a post. But I've noticed that I can't see the posts of most of the people that I wanna support through the service since they forget about this ONE thing! (Partially because most of you still haven't signed up yet, what's up with that?!)

Hope this quick PSA was helpful!

Good helpful little tip, I personally had no idea about that number, I've just always upvoted before posting. The one thing though, I still enjoy reading actual posts, making a comment and upvoting, not just the one click process. I think the whole straight clicking without reading is not good for steemit. Too many people game the system that way, which definitely has financial incentive, but long term I don't think it will help the platform progress

Yeah I completely agree man. I talked about that in my introductory post (to actually read and engage in the posts.) However, it also depends on the amount of SP you hold and how you want to distribute it. For example, there are whales holding 100K SP that want to support hundreds of people but it's just not feasible to do it manually. I also hope we can preserve the human aspect of the Steemit platform as a lot of it is verging towards automation. I think if the interface was vastly improved and there was a convenient chat plugin, it would help a lot.

100% agree,, I think the old saying goes "with great power comes great responsibility" keep up the good work my man

I'm not in the art room but I certainly appreciate this post because it teaches me a little bit more about the steem follower app.
Again thank you very much I upvoted you and restained it on my feed.

This comment was posted while waiting between rides for Uber. 😄

Right on! Actually, while I focus on curating art, any quality content is much preferred over copy-paste plagiarism! I'll be looking for your stuff :)

You know how every day you realize something new? Today I realized I'm still a noob in terms of Steemit 😅

Thank you for the info @d-pend

Lol! There's always more to learn :D Glad it helped.

Hi @d-pend I have noticed that my most recent post has not been featured on the exchange and I think my points are in order:
Points: 240 PT = 0.0357 SBD ?
Base: 1000 PT Points = 0.1489
You will receive 0.0357 SBD Upvotes.
When I looked in the travel section the weren't many posts and none in poetry. I write - all original - poetry and scuba diving based travelogues @raj808 I was wondering if you could let me know if I'm doing soothing wrong?or if the problem could be chased up as I'm keen to get involved with the community. I am definitely signed in to steemfollower and have just been on the exchange upvoting my favourite articles. Any help would be hugely appreciated :)

Hey @raj808 sorry to hear you've been having issue with the site. As long as you upvote at least 5 posts per day your post will be visible BUT not to you. You will never see your own post in the exchange. As long as you have points it will appear, but upvote is not guaranteed! People have to decide your post is good quality and choose to upvote it, so make sure it stands out with a great thumbnail image and good original content. Hope that helps! Let me know if you get it working :)

This post was very informative appreciate going to upvote & resteem your post @mannyfig1956

Great I'm glad it was helpful @mannyfig1956!

Upvoted and Resteemed this Post :)

Right on! ThanQ - U!

Seems the site has been down for at least 18 hours now... :-r I'll be back though :D

Pretty much the worst timing to write a how-to article... right before the service crashes!! First time it's happened as far as I'm aware. Some node issues are apparently to blame :L

Hey @overkillcoin seems to be working as of... just now! :D

Got it. I still can't easily find you. Maybe you can write a short rhyme about how to find a specific user?

Tho' intended to be random,
We sure can work in tandem.
First click "Top User's Posts and filter,
And if the order be off kilter,
Navigate to page two or three, and
There's no way you won't see me!

(Unless you already upvoted my recent post hehe, then it'll be invisible)

Haha pure genius man, and you did that with zero preparation... freestyle!

I want to get upvoted by a whale on steemfollower😁 I just signed up today and I heard it really get results.

Haha! There's not many whales (50,000 SP) but there's quite a few dolphins! Good luck! If you make great content it will increase your chances by a lot.

Thanks man that's whats up...
