How to get more readers on your steem posts.png
source: pixabay

This is the first article in a series in which I will share the knowledge that I collected about steem.

For a certain time I haven't written any posts on steem but this doesn't mean that I've been idle. I've tried and tested most of the games available on the steem blockchain and worked on some other steem related projects like my own HVOTE token.

To understand the readers, you need to become one

But above anything else these last weeks, I've taken the role of the active reader of articles posted on steem. I focused my attention on the people that I'm following. There are not so many but most of them are writing good content and I read the things that seem interesting. Most of the time I also left a comment and tried to push the interaction with the author.

The problem of steem: not enough readers

I believe that one major problem about steem is that most of the newbies believe that they have to post content in order to earn money. So they write a couple of posts that tend to have zero value. It is not surprising that many of them give up after that. There are so many posts that are simply not read by humans that I can't help to think that there are not enough readers on the blockchain.

During my self experiment I made an important discovery:

When I take the time to read a post, to upvote it and to give a comment, I expect something in return!

The minimum would be an answer to my comment but I felt that when I didn't get an upvote it was not enough. Just following my guts I ended up reading and commenting only the posts of the people where I was sure that my comments would be answered and upvoted.

Reward your readers

To get more readers we have to reward their time and interest with answers and upvotes. If you have not enough steem power to give significant upvotes it doesn't matter. It is the intention that counts. Another way to reward your readers is to put a steem bounty on your post, like that you can give an additional value to your upvotes.

Stand out from the crowd !

There is so much content on steem that we simply cannot cope with everything. We need to filter the information and in the end we will need to focus our attention on posts where not only our interest is caught but where we also can expect a financial return. In the end most of the people are also on steem to earn some coins...

When rewarding your readers it is much easier to build up a long term relationship with them. The fact that you reward your readers will be news that spread quite quickly over the blockchain and you might get even new readers like that. More readers means more traffic and this means more comments, resteems and upvotes...

What do you think about that? How do you feel when you read, comment a post and don't get any answer?


  • This post is optimized so that curation rewards are maximized for the people upvoting it. Self-vote after 1 day. Upvoted by bots after 1 day.

  • I reward my readers: Every meaningful and related comment will be answered and upvoted. Please be patient, my time on steem is limited ;-)


My projects:
@help.venezuela : a program that supports steem users from Venezuela.

HVOTE : A token that is underlined with a real steem account. With the sales of tokens, the Steem Power of the account is increased. The votes are sold on smartsteem and together with curation rewards, the account produces real economical value. Big token holders get upvotes from the account.
Ref-Hunters : Cryptocurrency faucets. Get free coins every hour.

Hi dear @achim03.

I just checked your account again and it seem that you're not active on Steemit any more. Hope you didn't give up on this platform and our little community. And hope you're well.

I hope you come back soon!!

Yours, Piotr

Hi Piotr,
I had a lot to do lately and couldn't spend much time on steem. In addition I tend to use my time playing games at the moment... I need some distraction I believe ;-). I'm trying to leave some comments all the same from time to time.

Best regards,
Achim

Playing games? :)

Yes, I like to play Steemmonsters. I make quite an income with it ;-). Check out my stats...

Dear @achim03

Another great publication buddy, absolutely worth reading.

The problem of steem: not enough readers

This problem of lack of readers could be solved directly by authors. Curators would like to be either appreciated or rewarded for their comments. And I realized a while ago how using @steem-bounty can help to achieve that goal.

I believe that one major problem about steem is that most of the newbies believe that they have to post content in order to earn money

That's very true. Steemit is still attracting mostly "wrong type of new users". Mostly because current ones (power users) are often promoting Steemit as a platform where you can make money.

Again excellent publication. STEEM-BOUNTY is definetly way to go. Not only it does allow to reward your curators but also it's an amazing tool giving us extra exposure. There is way more people checking https://steem-bounty.com/ than those who care about trending page.

ps. I hope you don't mind that I will promote this post tomorrow. I would love others to be able to read your suggestions.

Yours
Piotr

Hi @crypto.piotr,
Thank you my friend for this great comment! I hope you can use steemit again?

I believe that the problem is that the new users on steem all start by posting their posts. They get quickly disapointed. It's like posting on facebook without having any friends. Nobody will read their posts. It would be important to introduce new people to steem as follows:

  • start by selecting a couple of quality authors with good SP and follow them
  • read their posts and give appropriate comments
  • build relationships with the people they comment
    -> They could actually collect more steem like that than by writing their own posts by the way.
  • little by little start to write their own posts

I imagine that if people started this way on steem, they would stay longer because it would be an organic growth and newbies would learn much more from existing authors.

P.s: You can gladly promote my post my friend :-)

Best regards,

Yes.... Poor design. You could guide new steemians into that, choose some topics and the site should show you a selection page to follow some good content creators. Because if not is a very random experience.

And again yes, people thinks that Steem is a get rich quick scheme and is not that, it can be if you know how to get it fast, but no that easy, and not rich but can generate a good income and most important valuable connections.

Thank you for your comment. I believe that this would be an interesting idea to lead people by the hand and provide them a step by step introduction to steem. On the other hand the problem would be to provide a good motivation for them to follow this. To attract people to steem the get rich quick scheme seems to be the only working.

I believe to get rich on steem you need to be rich already ;-)

I believe to get rich on steem you need to be rich already ;-)

I know a few around here that changed their way of life just because being here from the begining and coming from Bitcoin and Etherium. So, I think it's possible to make a million here, but you have to be smart and know how to play with cryptos, selling high, buying dip, etc.

Steem needs people like Reddit at first, dreamers and developers that can stand in the shoulders of giants and see to the future.

I love how responsive you are @hijosdelhombre :)

Seriously, this platform needs more people like yourself.

cheers, Piotr

Thanks for your kind words.

This is a community, we care for each other, something almost forgotten in the neoliberalism we live worldwide today.

We can't lose what makes us humans, the most important thing that helped us to get where we are now, colaboration between different cultures to bring progress. This place and other crypto projects are the best way to fight the facism the establishment want to bring again to make us fight each other.

Steem grabs this humanist concepts and applies them in such a beautiful way.

Dear achim03

Thank you my friend for this great comment! I hope you can use steemit again?

Juan suggested installing brave browser and it solved problem. But whenever Im trying to use firefox or chrome - I always see some error messages whenever I try to post a comment :/

It's like posting on facebook without having any friends. Nobody will read their posts.

Indeed. Somehow people expect that others will find it and they blame Steemit fully for not having any visibility. I don't know where does this mindset comes from.

I still see people claiming that the most important is to post a lot. Even every day. Almost like posting a lot would be solution that could help with lack of traffic.

ps.
@Juanmolina helped to boost your publication :)

Yours
Piotr

Hello my friend,
I also une brave. Maybe you could try to erase all cookies on chrome and then log in again. I has some trouble with apps as well. I then erased all cookies, logged out and logged in again. Now it works.

I still see people claiming that the most important is to post a lot. Even every day. Almost like posting a lot would be solution that could help with lack of traffic.

This is also what amazes me. I believe that these people read a book about how to become an influencer or how to have success on facebook or instagram. On steem it doesn't work like that.

People who post too often will have much more difficulties to get automated upvotes. If you put an auto upvote on somebody who posts 3 times a day this will drain your voting power.

A bit thanks to @juanmolina for the boost!

Best regards,
Achim

Might be a steem-bounty helps to attract readers, but do you know it's only 2 days ago I found out that it exists? I am joining over 1 year now!

That's what I love about steem. You discover new stuff every day ;-)

I think a major problem about steem is that most newbies believe they have to publish content to make money.

It is true. For most people who open an account in steemit, their first motivation is to achieve an income.
A distorted expectation has been created in this regard. At the end of 2017 - beginning of 2018 when the STEEM / SBD reached their historical highs in Venezuela very few people knew Steemit. Presumably the news ran fast and then began to enter new users. Of this wave of novices, currently there should not be even half.

Disappointed by the low income they left the platform. Currently there must be a high number of dead accounts.

Another way to reward your readers is to put a steem bounty on your post, like that you can give an additional value to your upvotes.

Actually it works, you're absolutely right. But if we talk about that mass of new users who are more interested in getting at least a few cents per publication, then this is not an option for them.

In summary, the only valid option is to take care of our followers by giving them the treatment they deserve. As you say, responding to all your comments.
I see it as an act of strengthening a friendship.

Thank you appreciated @achim03.
I enjoyed this publication very much.

Everything you said is true.

The most important thing here is not the money, the most valuable thing from Steem is the connections the platform try to make in order to change reallity faster than with normal means we have available today, I mean, like democracy is full of bureaucracy and slow solutions from politicians.

Witness and everything behind the frontend is really interesting as an experiment trying to bring answers and better aproach of the social problems as a community, all together, unite instead of divide, positive circles.

Greetings friend, @hijosdelhombre.

I'm glad we share the same criteria.

The connections between human beings. The exchange of thoughts, of ideas, of cultures. That's what really is important.

As you say it is like an interesting experiment of global magnitude, because here in Steemit there are no borders.

Hi @juanmolina,
Thanks a lot for this detailled comment

Actually it works, you're absolutely right. But if we talk about that mass of new users who are more interested in getting at least a few cents per publication, then this is not an option for them.

I agree with you that for new users steem bounty is not the solutions also because they probably don't have a couple of steem around. I believe that new users shouldn't post too often to start with. They should build up relationships first by commenting other poeple's post. If done well, they can earn much more than by publishing their own posts that only few will read.

I see it as an act of strengthening a friendship.

This is totally true. The value of friendships is however often forgotten or ignored. When on steem we are more than just people interested in money and that values like frienship take a bigger importance, we can become an expemple for a new set of values on the internet...

I just realized than you promoted this post big style. Thank you very much for it! I appreciate it a lot but I feel its not really fair that you have all the expenses ;-) A memo will come around soon...

You would not have bothered, dear friend.

Thanks for writing your views and letting the community here know on tips for getting more readers.
I somewhat feel as well that many people just follow or upvote other users so as to earn curation rewards by upvoting their content in a timely manner. But, community should be more interested in reading the content and actually upvoting the users who have written something thoughtful and spent time writing and researching.

Thank you very much for your comment. I believe that many people tend to do everything in order to optimize their income in the short term. They place their upvotes so that they get as much curation rewards as possible. Many however forget that you also get curation rewards when you upvote comments! Maybe you earn not as much as when you sell your votes but in the end the amazing thing about steem isn't the fact that you can earn money but the fact that you can create relationships with people that have a certain potential value.

When I take the time to read a post, to upvote it and to give a comment, I expect something in return!

For the last months I had the same discussion with a user I'm not tagging now to keep him from asking again "I have come here, now where's my reward?" just like he did yesterday.
My point rather is: tell the people not to come here for the money. But this idea is also fueled by the observation that Steemit attracts a special kind of people.

I think that everybody on steem should avoid to "expect" to be rewarded either for writing or reading. If you take the perspective of the author who wants to build up interaction, I think rewarding the readers that contribute quality comments is a good way to do so.

Es muy interesante tu publicación, con las publicaciones que provienen de la experiencia personal en Steemit. Algunas de ellas tambiénn yo las he observado.
Particularmente me parece muy importante rtesponder los comentarios, al igual que responder los comentarios.
Es como elemental cortesía, si a uno lo saludan, uno debe devolver el saludo.
Pero, efectivamente, el voting power asi como los Rc, pone límites que impiden comentar y votar todo cuanto se quisiera.

Your publication is very interesting, with the publications that come from personal experience in Steemit. Some of them I have also observed.
In particular, I think it is very important to comment on the comments, as well as to respond to the comments.
It is like elementary courtesy, if one is greeted, one should return the greeting.
But, effectively, the voting power as well as the Rc, puts limits that prevent comment and vote as much as you would like.

Thank you very much for your comment. I hope you don't mind if I answer in English.
It is true that for accounts with little RC it is difficult to write many comments and give upvotes. For people starting on this platform I believe it would be good advice to start by following certain experienced authors and leave a comment from time to time. If these authors in return upvote the comments, these newbies might get more SP than if they wrote their own posts. Like that they can power up, collect more RC and little by little become a more active member on the platform.

Hello @achimo03, This is a valuable post on bringing engagements on our contents. We understand that those who have low SP cannot do much on commenting but can give an upvote. What I am doing is that everytime someone upvoted my post, I do my best to reciprocate with an upvote and comment if possible. Yes, reward is the best way to bring engagements with our contents. Of course we get rid of spam. Thanks for @juanmolina for bringing me with your post. I appreciate your support sir.

Thank you very much for your comment.
Low SP and accordingly low RC can prevent people from leaving many comments. This is an additional reason for autors to upvote such comments. It's one of the best ways for small accounts to grow. When autors with some SP upvote comments they get real value and often people can earn more like that than if they post their own articles.

That is really interesting - haven't thought about it that way - am sure gonna try it out - I am still new here so every bit of advice is welcome - much appreciated :)

Thanks a lot for your comment. When new to steem there is so much that you can learn. It can feel overwhelming. The better you know it however the more interesting it gets😉

Consistency is also important ..... and by consistency I don't mean subject wise but the timing of your posts. Post daily / every second day and keep pushing forward for a better chance to get notice.

Hi @rentmoney,
Thanks a lot for your comment. Consistency is an important factor. However I've seen a lot of users who tend to write posts with doubteful content just for the sake of consistency. I believe that it is important to write regularly but too often can also be contraproductive...

Hello @achim03 you got your idea spot on! We would be having more interactions and engagement on posts if readers are rewarded.

As a matter of fact, I visited this post as a result of searching through posts with bounty because these sets of posts are very engaging and above all, rewarding :)

Hi @akomoajong,
Thank you very much for stopping by. I'm happy the bounty attracted you ;-)

Indeed, my friend @achim03. You are very right in everything you say because, if they do not see me I must find a way to make them always very respectful as I am.
It is very gratifying to know that your publication has been read and it is also very good to know that your comments are also answered.

Friend I send you a big hug from Venezuela right now as I write, forces loyal to freedom are controlling and returning to constitutional order.
It is possible that the criminals who occupy positions in the ursurpador government, cut the electrical energy in the whole country as they did a few weeks ago and continue to do so,
It's not easy but I have a lot of hope in being free.

Thank you very much for your comment my friend.
At the moment its difficult to get any reliable information about Venezuela here. These are great news! I hope that you will be able very soon to taste the taste of freedom again...

You have given some very helpful tips here in engagement. I use @steemworld to look for people who have mentioned me and I try to respond to them all. I also go through my "replies" as often as possible and try to respond to all comments. Now upvoting all comments is another story. My SP is pretty much always low because I do so much voting. When the value of my vote gets to zero, I see no point in upvoting with a zero vote. Yes, it shows engagement I guess, but you are just using resources for no value. But a comment is always appreciated and leaving return comments is engagement. It will also prompt me to check out the commentor's blog and find something there that I also comment on. Usually I will follow the person if they have good content, which helps their reputation level. So I'm not upset if I don't get a vote on a comment I make, but I do certainly appreciate getting a comment in return.

Thank you very much for your great comment. It's true that when you are very active on steem it tends to make your voting power go down quite quickly. A solution would be to give partial upvotes (20 to 50%). Like than you can upvote much more often without ruining your voting power. With higher voting power your partial upvotes stay quite powerful.

I've added partiko on my phone and I get all mentions directly through notifications.

I use Partiko when I'm using my phone and it is very handy for notifications. I've also found that it's handy for finding a person that you have already followed by using the chat function - all your people are listed there in alphabetical order. I know about partial upvotes and I use that feature, but I still run out of power. And lower SP people don't even have the option of using the slider to lower their votes.

Amazing convo you guys are having here ...

I love how responsive you are @blueeyes8960 :)

Seriously, this platform needs more people like yourself.

cheers, Piotr

Thank you for those kind words! And I'd say the same about YOU! Few can be said to promote STEEM as consistently as you do.

Everything is right what you write. New users mostly come from the classic networks and we should give them more attention and encouragement.
I think we also need external support. Join my subreddit to promote your postings for better visibility.: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteemBlockchain/

It is true that new users are somewhat lost on this platform and they need to be taken by the hand and shown around. The best way would be to motivate new users to start in a different way than just posting stuff.

Right! The question is: how do you want to motivate them?

Very good question indeed :-)

I agree with your post.
There are too many outputs than inputs, and a lot of useful articles are overlooked.

They misunderstand that the more they post, the more they earn.

What matters is the quality of the post, and how much useful information can be given to reading.

Giving priority is the top priority, and offering is only a result.

Post value is a top priority, and income is just the result.

Posted using Partiko Android

They misunderstand that the more they post, the more they earn.

I totally agree with you there. I've read often that people complained that they wrote so much and never got value to their posts. The problem is that they often don't understand how this platform works and how a post can become valuable in terms of steem.

Hello @achim03

We all know that steemit is a monetary platform, we all (or most of us) start here to make a profit, we think, at first, publishing would make us millionaires. Especially when you see why they earn up to $1000, even for a meme post.

Then most are discouraged when they see the truth, which you must make your way up to be seen by the majority.

I think it's excellent to reward users who read your post, however, that brings another problem, people will come just to give an upvote to your post (maybe) and comment: Very good post!

And then when they see that they are not rewarded, they won't be interested in your post anymore.

The best thing would be to create an affinity relationship with your readers. That they really want to read what you write.

This is the slowest way. But for me the best.

But this platform is made in a way that it's hard to know if someone made a post or not. On the one hand it's good, because it forces interaction and on the other hand, if you don't want to know anything about someone, so it's easier to forget.

However, this platform needs that part. Let us know if anyone has posted something. And don't use an "extra" application to stay up to date.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot for this very clever comment my friend.

I think that what you point out is indeed true. I think that it is possible to make out comments where people actually read the post from others. The ones that put dumb comments can simply be ignored.
What is different from steem to a normal blog is that there is not one clear author and one reader. The roles are often interchanged and this asks for new tools.
Did you check this post:
https://steemit.com/steem-engine/@aggroed/scot-testing-underway-are-you-ready-for-your-own-token-that-can-distribute-like-steem

Maybe this could provide an answer.

Best regards

In contrast to facebook there are many more users on steem who produce their own content instead of just consuming it.
The goal should be that there should be more consumers / readers as you wrote above, that means in the end that the entry barriers have to be reduced in steem.

There is actually no entry barriers to read post on steem because all the articles are freely visible from the internet. You don't need a steem account to read articles on steemit. This is great! On the other hand the people who write articles want to be upvoted so they are only interested in steemusers to read the articles and to get potential upvotes.
I believe that the real problem is that steem users become regular and long term users only when they have a certain amount of steem power and in this respect you are totally right that the entry barriers are too high at the moment.

You are right everyone can read articles on steem. The point is that these people are worthless as long as they do not have an account to vote or comment.
Thus, an account light to vote, comment and even grow a bit could be a solution. The barriers for that sort of account could be reduced.
Later on a posibillity to upgrade with the usuall obstacles could be maintained.

Amazing convo you guys are having here ...

I love how responsive you are @sifondeseltz :)

Seriously, this platform needs more people like yourself.

cheers, Piotr

I find your article @achim03 very interesting, I'm one of those people who don't understand how to get more votes with power and how others do it and I can't. I think I'm working in this network with dedication but I lack tools. I will follow your advice. I am very grateful for your post.

There is a long way to go to understand this platform totally. It's a series of small learning steps and I believe that with all the new developments around steem, we never totally understand everything :-)

I really should read more posts, what you said in this post is already things I assumed but never put into words, so happy to read this.

Thank you for stoppying by

This is a great write up...very mesmerising from the beginning to the very end. I still have a long way to go.

How to get more readers on your steem posts

By having someone sending spam messages like @juanmolina did? ;)
Or maybe he wanted me to resteem the post to give you greater audience?

Dear @isarmoewe

Does it annoy you when you receive memos like the one you received from Juan?

Yours, Piotr

I hope it is the later ;-)

A perfect sharing. Aspecially new users in steemit assess this platform different from yhe aim of steemit. Thank you for this valuable post

Thank you for reading my post!

I noticed there are periods I receive few comments. I do believe there is a lack of readers and try to read and comment as much as possible. If that is stimulating for the writer I don't know.

To be honest, I think most people do not like to read, hardly can read, for many the content is too long or the information is too much or written from the perspective of an insider. It makes it hard to understand what they are talking about and to fit in.

I totally agree with you here. Many readers are not native speakers and it is not always easy to understand what is written. When I see huge posts it also doesn't encourage to read through them. Often there are no titles or subtitles wich is also discouraging. I think the size and design of an article is also an important factor whether you can reach an audiance or not.

Exactly. I learned at an other site to make parts of long content bold. If you only read the bold lines you get the picture too.

I think we need to change our layout. I use a smartphone so I have no idea what my posts look like, but scrolling down a long post is not always attractive to me either (still I read it or twice).

Hola @achim03, gracias a @juanmolina por hacerme llega este post, realmente me dejastes pensando, muchas cosas que se puedo hacer para mejorar en esta plataforma, sobre todo el votar sin importar el valor y leer para comentar y crear una conversación, mi limitante es el Ingles pero se puede solucionar. Tomaré en cuenta estas recomendaciones para lograr mejores recompensas, saludos!

Gracias @suanky para llevar tu commentario. No es facil escribrir en otro idioma (como yo en espanol) y puede ser limitador. Hay mucha gente aqui que escribe en espanol y me parace mejor empezando escribir y conversar en el idioma que es mas facil para nosotros.

Saludos

Great article, thanks to @juanmolina who directed me to this post. using @steem-bounty have been very helpful to a lot of people and its benefits can not be over emphasized. Thanks bro.

Thank you for stopping by and for your comment!

Indeed reading is a challenge for many in this day and age. Thanks for the info that you've provided. I'll have to read and learn more about steam bounty for my posts.

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for sharing this post to me @juanmolina. @achim03, it does makes sense especially the part about rewarding readers apart from posting good quality posts. It is important and is a way to show appreciation to the people who read and support our contents.

Many thanks achim03 for your great contribution and thank you @juanmolina :D

Thank you for your comment!

Too many making content, so few consuming content on here

Thank you for your comment

@achim03, Very important points and definitely on Steem more organic readers are needed which will boost the Engagement inturn. And yes, when someone invest their time and effrots then definitely they deserve Return Of Value. Stay blessed.

Hi @chireerocks,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read the post and to comment. I truely believe that steem gives us all the tools to make it a win-win situation for everybody.

Welcome and yes, i believe too. Have a great time ahead.

How do you feel when you read, comment a post and don't get any answer?

  • Mixed feelings. I see this platform as a long term thing. While I might not be getting a lot of responses and comments now I am building reputation and slow momentum. I think in six months will see a bigger push towards this platform (*when more tools and on ramps become more accessible) in a years time will have over tripled our volume. I wish we could still earn money from post longer than a week back, as I think this would also help push engagement.

How I Feel about It? bummed out a little bit but again my goal is not on today or tomorrow down the road a bit further. :)

Thank you!

Having a big picture perspective is important. Like Bitcoin back in the day when it was not as big as today and you couldn't do the amount of things that today are possible.

I think is really interesting that true believers are the people that is pushing the value of the coin up, people is playing with the blockchain and trying to find new ways to interact and that takes time.

Hi @jacuzzi,
Thank you for your well developped comment. You point out an important thing which is the 7 day closing day of a post. You can write a very good post with a good keyword selection but till your post gets indexed by search engines, you can't get any upvotes anymore. However there are also possible income sources that can be used in a post that are not linked to steem directly. One can put referral banners in the footer for example...
Best regards,
Achim

One things that has got me hooked to reading this days is thank to @steem-bounty. Because of an eye on the reward I'll have to digest many post and drop a meaningful comment. Which has also helped to rejuvenate the readers habits on Steemit.

Also, upvotring comment also works too.

Thanks a lot for your comment. You are right steem bounty is a great tool to engage interaction and also to reward people for their comments.

Yes, more readers. I agree about leaving a comment and not being acknowledged. Upvote would also help. Engagement is key. I truly understand the time crunch.

Muchas gracias para tu commentario. Aun tu voto no tenga mucha valor todavia es un signal que tu estas appreciendo lo que la gente commente.

Perdona mi espanol ;-)

Great article, with what now seems like very simple ideas. I am new to steemit, not new blockchain or computer science in general. But I have to say I found, and still find, steemit to be very intimidating as far as getting a complete understanding of the ecosystem. I once heard a coder describe learning a new programming language difficult if your mind can't separate the unnecessary from the equation....what you don't need to solve the problem does not need to be learned, at least not right now, maybe not ever. I think the difficult thing with steemit is that many people feel overwhelmed and frustrated after not being able to gain followers, or get votes on a post they spent a lot of time and effort on. There are some aspects of steemit that people should completely avoid if they don't want to fall further down the rabbit hole so to speak. I know I felt these frustrations myself when I cross-posted a silly picture from Instagram that achieved more upvotes in 10 minutes then an article I actually put significant time into. It's human nature to be impatient, but I believe with steemit, patience, knowledge and ultimately experience are the keys to having a successful following and making some money along the way. I see steemit having great potential but I think it's way ahead of its time. I'm going to stick with it for now though. Thanks for the tips and the faucet too! Cheers!

Hi @bitcoingodmode,
Thank you for your nice comment. I totally agree with you that the steem world can be a very intimidating place. In addition to that it is always changing and you need a lot of energy just to keep up to date.
When we want to introduce new people to steem, we struggle with these two problems:

  • A long learning curve
  • An everchanging world

I've been giving online courses through e-mails or video courses and I never managed to do it with steem. It's just very confusing when you start to talk about steem, steem power, sbd, voting power, voting percentage, delegations, upvotes, downvotes. rc... So in a way you are right. People should just come to write and comment. But then again sometimes they can't because they don't have enough RC... You almost need to understand all of it to really be able to profit from this platform.

I see steemit having great potential but I think it's way ahead of its time. I'm going to stick with it for now though

You are definitely right about that. It has huge potential and we are on the good way. Steem offers dapps, development, tokens and links it with a huge community. We just have to find a way to make it understandable and appealing to non users.

Thanks for the tips and the faucet too!

I'm glad to hear that you like the faucet. Feel free to claim as often as you wish ;-)

Best regards,
Achim

gracias amigo por la información muy buena felicitaciones

Thank you for your comment!

I do not believe spamming people to get more readers will endear you to them! tell your friends to stop this it is unacceptable!

Hi @tygertyger,
Thank you for you comment. I think that you point out a very important matter regarding memos. Some people like to receive memos with links to interesting posts. Some don't and it is perfectly understandable. I expect that memos are only sent to people who gave their consent to recieve them. If this is not the case, I would suggest that you inform the person who sent you the memo to stop it.

I was asked if it was ok if they could send some memos to promote this post and I agreed. So it is partially also my fault. Sorry about that.

it is one thing to offer a service to people who are interested in getting memos- create a service people can sign up to - but spamming random people ...and these people are spamming a copious amount of unwilling people is going to get you a huge backlash ...

Thanks a lot for your feed-back. You are not wrong about that and I will have to think how to deal with it in the future.

It works😉

yeah, but only using steempeak.

somehow steemit doesnt allow me to post anything :/ (but somehow i can edit comments)

Greetings @ achim03 you are right, I have realized that I have done some things wrong, but nevertheless I will try to change them, one of them was that of not voting the comments for the simple fact that as my vote is small (literally) I thought that of useful it would be to the other person a vote that is not worth 0.001 but under the logic you explain has much value and meaning at the same time. Although I can not comment / vote much I will try to optimize the times and the resources so that these render and already when at some point I manage to generate enough, give it back as you say with some rewards in the comments through steem bounty as I have seen that many do, thanks for expanding my way of seeing steemit.
PS: sorry for the late arrival here but good I try to do what I can as long as it has light (here in Venezuela it is a problem that hits us a lot today) and between the university and other occupations there is not always much time

Content and interaction play an important part in getting readers. Once readers have interests in your posts, they will follow and upvote.

You have many interesting projects. 🙂
