well even if you shared it to your facebook followers - it won't make any difference unless they sign up to steemit and upvote you. You don't get any benefit from simple views.
A slow and steady build is the way to go. build up your Steem Power - as having a lot of voting power is helpful.
One thing you need to realise is that the growth of reputation is exponential - that is - the difference between 25-26 is a lot less than the difference between 39-40
you can see in raw score terms, jumping from 25 to 26 just requires 291,549,665 reputation points.
jumping from 39 to 40 requires 10,477,751,698, which is 35 times as much as the jump from 25 to 26.
If they can click on my website it could make a difference even if they didn't join Steemit lol I did not realize how it's calculated. Honestly there;s so much to learn compared to say Minds, that it's hard for me to get it all straight. Now I see why my reputation is taking longer to go up, thanks for the reply!
it wouldn't make a difference if they click through from your website - you'd get a view but not a vote.
My website is where people actually buy my art, not Steemit though. So, simple views where my link is clickable, are awesome in my books, Steemit upvotes or not ;)
