When I registered in Steemit, I was hoping to get into crypto world and earn something. I did and earned. When Bitcoin price started to drop, I wanted to do something about it and earn money anyway. So, I decided to earn at least something on Steemit, since I have invested here as well. I need to see a growing numbers every day. I hate when money is laying on the ground and doing nothing - not making any money.
How I did it? The idea is mentioned in this post 3 Steemit myths debunked!.
I’m not saying to use 100% of your VP to upvote yourself, but until you become a bigger fish, you should keep about 60% of your VP for your own posts and comments. Doing so, will guarantee, that the other 40% of your VP will grow in weight more and more over time.
I decided to earn some STEEM by self voting and proud of this decision. I am not happy to post silly comments and then self-vote them, but this is what Steemit currently offers and I agree to do. I would prefer to vote for better content. But since it is so hard to find at least modest quality content, I go the way the Universe works - go the most simple and easiest way, where is with the the least resistance and vote for yourself.
I was laughing when I read those lines.
So please, be social and make yourself rich - if you don’t want to do it for yourself, please do it for me and all the people, who also prefer STEEM-rich followers over poor ones.
Yes, I love STEEM-rich followers. Actually I followed this guy @atmosblack before this article, but looks like we have something more in common. I was getting sick of hypocrisy in Steemit, when posts are full of morality but actions shows the opposite. I'm very sorry about myself that I read it only now and could not give this guy my full vote for this post. But guess what, he is still posting and I hope to get another good post where my vote is going to land. 😉
Why I wrote this post? Because I wanted to mention another post that hopefully will make some changes to current situation. I read another post that mentions the new competitor of STEEM. Competition is good thing and knowing that creator of STEEM is announcing STEEM v2.0, but it is going to be your competitor, is a real thing that should make things rolling.
I know there are many Steemians that think differently. The time will show who is right and who gets the money.
That's where you lost me.
I think, out of all of the lower quality style posts I've seen boosted up to the trending page lately, this post of yours is probably the worst one.
I'm only being honest with you. You deserve that, at least. Especially after taking a shot at thousands of people here who do actually produce some fairly solid content. You're either blind, or just too fucking lazy to go look for it.
Have a nice day.
Waste of the rewards pool. This post is worth like $3. Hopefully steem 2.0 take into account the many shortfalls of steemit beta.
@nonameslefttouse I agreed with your comment. I have seen many fairly good articles even from the less than 50 REP
I look forward to the day the whiner types from here go running off to a competitor.
< sarcasm > What a glorious place that will be. < /sarcasm >
I think I'll just leave it at that.
Agreed with you
Thank you for that.
I'm lazy, get upset and bored after spending 2-3 hours of searching to find few articles to vote for.
Look for people and personalities that suit you, not posts.
If someone came here to write about one topic, like trees for instance, they fail. Nobody wants to follow a tree. The moment they add their personality to their posts about trees, they become interesting, because it's no longer about the boring tree.
Everyone has bad days. Look how many people you follow. You basically just told them their stuff sucks and you spent money to promote that message nearly all the way to the top of the trending page.
If you get to know some people and start enjoying their company rather than walking all over them, you might find yourself voting for their worst work, on one of their bad days, simply because you'd like to see them succeed. You could be doing that rather than bragging up how you'd prefer to vote for yourself because nobody here can please you.
Just because the platform allows you to act like an asshole, that doesn't mean it's okay to act like an asshole.
Whatever though. This message is what you wanted the world to know about you for a few days, so be it, it's your life.
Later.
Self-criticism is a good thing. I like it.
Nothing wrong with upvoting posts. Have a look at my comment section. Nobody is calling me an asshole.
I'm not doing shit like that. Even you think you're an asshole.
Taking things out of context like that was an asshole thing to do. My post was humor and I gave out more in the comment section than my self vote was worth.
Anyway, it's clear you're just trolling and not worth my time.
Yes, you definitely are not doing shit like that. 😂
You missed this part:
Read it slowly, if that helps.
Yes indeed. Be the change you want to see on the network.
This too. I have already taken 2 hours this morning going through and trying to curate my feed. It ain't easy. I'm finding different hashtags not listed on the explore page.
May I ask where you are looking 2-3 hrs and can't find great posts? I would need at least five time the time I have if I wanted to read all the articles that look appealing to me.
I'm too biased, because I started to blog almost 20 years ago and have worked for news portals for many years. So, my expectations and understanding of good quality content may differ from yours.
What are your areas of interest?
I'm here only for crypto investment and trading. I read tutorials, opinions and predictions of market movements.
Since Steemit community killed @haejin post rewards and there are not much of others here, as a backup interests I started to go for easy content like entertainment - food, coins, travels and other interesting things with photos (good or bad quality, does not matter, but should be original).
I prefer reading books than questionable quality blogs. 😉
Isnt @haejin still posting?

My content is excellent and different than 99% of the platform. 3 months, I get 3 to 5 views. I spend the time, I am dedicated. I want to promote steemit at my monthly market in Chicago. It does seem if you are big enough, I don't care what people say, bigger accounts are not looking for interesting things that could diversify the platform. I even own steem. doesn't matter. I hope this turns around. I also hope Steemit 2.0 is just an update to this platform.
I'm going to have to agree with you there. I find gobs of immensely great content, on a regular basis. It actually kind of surprises me how much effort people still put in, with not-great returns. I love the intellect on here, the art, the free-thinkers. It's been far more impressive to me than any other blog sphere I've seen by a long shot.
My feed is full of awesome people. You included.
Hi, @scorer, I love reading this post and I wish people are more genuine like you. You re straight forward, honest with the topics. You advice here is very helpful for people like me who just started Steemit a month ago.
You mentioned 'you earn some STEEM by self voting' ..there is nothing wrong with that. Its your investment money, you can do whatever you can to help it grow.
Regarding to upvoting, what you left out is that you are always helping minnows like me , not just big fish
Why do I say that? Because many of my friend @gatorinla posts and my posts have been receiving upvotes from you. You are a frequent visitor to our blogs, we really appreciate your help and support...
Thank you!
I was aware and prepared for some whale trolls, but did not expect minnow support. 😊
you are funny,,thank you..
The time will show who is right and who gets the money.
They might not be the same person.
Probably wont.
@dan is just joking there, but yeah SteemonEOS will happen and it will come soon. Better hope that Communities and SMTs will get released soon or all Steemians will become bag holders...
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
That is wrong. No man on this earth can enslave you with machines. You are aware that we all have access to these computers and powerful phones? Nobody sits on iPhone 11 or Galaxy S12. Haha. You have access to the same as any other male.
If Dan is really building a steem 2.0 without working with steem's team, i'd be quite disappointed
competition is healthy it should be welcomed
Maybe we get two cows for the bulls?
I do not know about two cows, but we are going to have another crypto to trade, for sure. 😀
We´ll just have to wait and see how that goes...
I think that we have to do something about it. At least think some more ideas that are usable and can be implemented.
Indeed, but any crypto is about constant evolvement. If it gets lazy or stuck, it slowly starts to die... furthere innovation to steemit will come. It has to...
Hmm, I once thought of using 50% of my voting power to power up myself.
This looks like sound advice.
There's a certain whale who uses 60% of his VP on his posts, and uses the rest to support minnows.
That it is half or 5 full upvotes per day on your own posts and the rest left to community makes ~60% of self-votes.
There's nothing wrong it wanting to be rich I guess. If steem v2.0 would be better then why not?
I agree with you.
I agreed with your comment
Usually it's very hard to copy a service and make it better automatically.. Rarely works that way.
A very small portion of EOS will be a social media platform integrated into the eos.io software that in many ways will become much better than this website.
I agreed with your comment
Usually copycats doesn't end up better off
@scorer, I read this article with great interest as it touches my heart as a newbie. Certainly, I was in the shoe of your story but I have no idea what else I can do besides having to wait for SP increase and Voting Power resumed to 100%. Having said that, I do see many quality articles around even among newbies.
On the "competitor of Steem", I am too new even to understand the existing Steemit. I rather park this item and learn to do steemit first. Anyway, that was a good alert
Cheers
Check my blog anf tell me if I don't have quality posts. I dare you to find someone who jas better restaurant reviews up here. And I am working for peanuts. Ouuu and here is Steem v 1.0 new functions
New button on Blog feed gives you chance to select which your feed you want to select. As a category. Now I can find much quicker my posts. It is more organized that way. And organized is a way to go!
Favourite button is for your best posts. As a showroom for the whalles. Wuhuuuuu great feature
Ok. I don't know so much about crypto (weird right?). Steem has been my first experience, and i've come to love and enjoy it. I'm just finding out now the problems with it that everyone is talking about (I read the steem2 competition you referenced).
I think when we call a place like this a community, it means that everyone is responsible for it's building and maintenance. I believe whatever went wrong can be fixed if everyone advocates for the right people to get to work. And please pardon me, but i don't think Steem2 necessarily has to be coloured a competition, it can just be another unique platform sitting on the steem blockchain. That way, people who decide to leave steemit for it are simply investors and people who remain simply chose to and are not losers, or others can run both and not be named two faced. Then everyone wins, everyone's happy!
It's just a thought, maybe i don't know enough, i'm just a minnow anyway... But i salute your courage in writing this, even though you foresaw all the blows that would come with it, lol..
Sure, if it happens then it is going to be another place and only in case of getting better it attracts more users. That is when the competition begins.
Cool. Thank you.
Honest. In which case you should look at joining the @shadowbot project
You are right @scorer you can only give out of a position of strength and abundance. I will be keeping an eye @dan to see what he is up-to.
There are many aspects of money making issues. But the important question is:
Do we want to make money only in any way without any standards or conditions?
Well there is no point in minnows voting for the big guys because it never gets reciprocated. So they might as well vote for themselves.
Interesting post dear, i like it and enjoy it, thanks for sharing with us, keep it up. And im waiting for your next post. Thanks
hey thanks for great advice. im doing same.

Congratulations @scorer!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
God I remember seeing your name somewhere .. we were having a discussion about how haejin and his firstblood predictions.
I hope your investment in this post pays off somehow (views? followers?)
STEEM is an experiment and investment for me. The question is - should I be wasting my time here and voting valuable content or better trading on exchange. 😉
Since you're asking this question I think it's better if you just delegate your SP for passive return and spend your time trading cryptos
I recommend delegating to @therising
Just a quick note:
3 months on Steemit - ~5%
STEEM 24h change today - 6.8%
if you're asking if you should hodl or trade. That really depends on how much risk/reward you're willing to take.
In Steemit you're holding your STEEM while still getting rewards/payouts.
Sure. It was a rhetorical question.
