No problem! I'm glad to help and "Welcome to the VIP of social media" Others are putting dog ears on themselves on Snapchat for $0. We are over here rollin' in the bits having a grand old party! LOL
I invested a ton of time especially last summer and fall. I always stayed partially active and would make comments on people's stuff even when things weren't going to so good. I came back months ago when the payouts were super low and I would only get paid a couple bucks here and there. Hopefully we are able to rise up more and set a new standard for what is possible.
@leonf No problem. I know the feeling and when I joined there was a lot of teaching going on because everything was so new for everyone on here. Now that almost a year has went by there isn't as much out there and it can still be confusing for people so on boarding new users needs to be a huge focus to retain people and bring them into the community.
This is solid advice. Look, you wanna get paid for something, chances are it's going to take work to do it. This isn't different. But man, it's a whale (no pun intended) of a lot easier to make a buck here with good content than it is anywhere else I know of. Only way that makes sense is to do what you're suggesting.
@cristof It certainly is a whale and just think about this for instance. Imagine you get on YouTube and you want to make a certain type of videos. To match the quality of the top YouTubers is pretty intimidating. They have great cameras and next level editing potentially and maybe they are setup some other way like they are rich and have exotic cars....etc.....etc... Here it is tough as well and a person almost has to tell themselves they are going to have to get really active in the community to make their username known. It will become harder to stand out in the future so the best time to start hitting it hard is right now!
It is funny you mention that because I was just going to do a review on Fiverr. I have had a bunch of gigs done on there by people from around the world. I feel like it is a better platform for people in the 3rd world who have good English skills. Again they have to establish themselves and start getting their following to pay out more for their work. I went back to some of the same people several times but suddenly the really good ones got overloaded with work. Check out the Steemgigs initiative on here. It has potential!
Dude it is funny the people who remember the pool meetings. I didn't have a lot of success with them from a whale perspective but from the other content creators that didn't have a lot of Steem Power it was a novel concept and people thought it was interesting. Thanks for checking in!
I'm glad you remembered the pool meetings! I didn't get a lot of love from the whales when I was doing them but the content creators seemed to think it was a novel idea!
Hahah, Yeah we will see. They seem to always take more time to do than one would expect. Today I was filming and it was so hot that the camera shut off because the internal temperature got too hot. I had to take the camera inside and put it in the freezer to cool it down and then go back out and film again. Then I have to transfer the files around and upload. You know the gig. Your post are extremely complex. I almost feel like you need a crew of 3 people working on your stuff. Either that or you are infinitely more productive than I am. :-)
Can i just say... I LOVE THE FACT YOU ARE DOING A VIDEO IN THE POOL! i mean seriously.... that is just bloodyyyy awesome :D I am so jealous right now. Really good video and great for beginners!! well summed up!!
Hahhahha, I invented the "pool meeting" concept and have been urging world leaders to utilize this for diplomatic purposes.
Interestingly enough most of the content creators think this is hilarious but pretty much every time I did a pool meeting I never got upvoted by a whale for some reason. Not really sure why.
Hey man, some great advice. I haven't been too active on here commenting or posting compared to the top earners. I like reading a lot of the content on here though
Some days I seriously have a hard time creating anything because I get reading everyone else's content. There is good stuff out there and it can be funner just learning and being entertained by others stuff. Your reputation is up to 61 though which is pretty high for sure.

You got 2/3, but don't worry, you will get 3/3 because you did invest in the steemit community and be getting more active ;)

I Absolutely agree.

I'd rather be hanging here than trying to scrap it together on fiverr

Thanks for sharing! Let's Steem on! ;)

Nice tips brian, I really miss your pool interviews so i'm incredibly happy to see you're doing them again!
I'm glad you remembered the pool meetings! I didn't get a lot of love from the whales when I was doing them but the content creators seemed to think it was a novel idea!
With the renewed interest and many new friends joining up at Steemit, I think things might turn out differently this time !
Looking forward to them !
