So maybe I am just a noob minnow... But for the second time today, I am going to suggest the following to all of my fellow steemians.
I came here to introduce content creators that I know to a value for value exchange platform. Period.
The fact is, if a post nets 0.30 steem, that is 0.30 steem more than one would make directly on the book of faces or tweeterland.
This platform affords amazing opportunities for anyone willing to make the investment into providing value to the community.
After very little time, thought or consideration, I determined being super successful on steem was a skill. Skills take an investment in time and interest to master. To be brutally honest, I am probably not going to make the investment myself as I am not too big on social media.
That being said, learning to quickly master skills is a skill that I hold. If I were to apply myself this is what I would do:
Look at the profiles and posts of top earners. I would look for commonalities between the way they format their posts and what types of engagement methods they used.
I would find out when most of my followers we're online and post during those times.
I would begin emulating the successes of others. Not content but the lessons learned in step #1 and insights gained through general observation on the community.
Keep all content positive and focussed on providing value. It's obvious and proven psychology.
Pay it back. I would support other users and groups such as the minnow support gig or whatnot.
That's it. I don't think anyone following a similar continuous improvement approach would not enjoy success. The victim mentality has to go. Do the work and enjoy the success regardless of the hardfork.
Just my observation.
