I agree that shoddy work is not good anywhere, but sometimes good work doesn't get rewarded either; sometimes, perhaps too much, shoddy work is the norm and is copied and spread. It may be something to hold up good work, to promote it for all to see so that shoddy work can be held against it to be known for what it is.
Outside of Steem it is even more difficult to get rewarded. No matter whether good or bad work.
Here in the SteemSphere you can grow a following much faster, all while at the same time being rewarded, much faster than most would ever be able to do elsewhere online.
No truer words have been spoken, but that isn’t only the case on Steem either. Hundreds of popular and decently earning blogs are shoddy in quality. Yet they manage to grow a following and generate sufficient page views. Does that make them an inspiration? Maybe.
But they had to put in the hard work. On Steem just bidbot yourself to trending and you are the inspiration. And that, modest or low quality becomes the benchmark we attract and further cultivate.
if you have quality content you need to be able to offer this content on as many platforms as possible. Quality content is part of a market niche (today).
Are there niche readers on steemit?
Sorry for my English, I'm Italian.
No worries about your English. I’m not a native English speaker myself.
Hive mind communities should solve the niche issue, in a similar approach to subreddits. So probably still very vast oceans to navigate.
There are already several communities around tags. Kenny’s Kitchen’s tribe comes to mind. We will soon see always more “frontpages” similar to sndbox’s portal and also the #ulog community. I know several are being built as we speak.
thanks for the tips 🙂 👍
I've tried bots and find as soon as I use them my usual upvotes go down. I know that my work is good yet so few even read it and even less understand it and prefer the conformity to creativity. I guess I haven't found my niche people yet and so have to keep on going until I do.
There are indeed several manual curators who do not upvote when people use bidbots. That mostly because many manual curators think (correctly) that bidbots aren’t healthy for the ecosystem.
I was on Bubblews until it went bust and was earning a fair bit just before the end, bots were frowned upon there
I only had a quick skim of your feed so far, but given the categories I saw you may want to check out @tribesteemup
It’s a curation community, one which focuses on “healthy” and “abundance”.
The founder is a great person. The world would be a better place if it had more @kennyskitchen alike people. Even if he may disagree with my recent post. :D
Thanks, I'll take a look
Many don't realise just how hard the 'real world' can be it seems. They look at the tiny, tiny percentage of Youtube users who are monetized and think that is the average.
Yeah, exactly. I am just getting started on Steemit and decided to check some courses and videos from those who've already achieved something on the platform. And the sad thank that most of those are teaching you to cheat - like hiring someone who will spin a bunch of news 2 bucks per piece (imagine the readability) and you'll be just posting it again and again unless something will hit the target and get the good ROI. And people actually do this. And actually, earn money off that. With that type of knowledge spreading around there's such a huge risk that the platform will be just turned into a cemetery of a horrible content.
Although the thoughts in Taraz's post are all right. But still, we have to deal with human nature. And we do have a tendency to screw the good things over.
Most of those people are 'get-rich-quick-ers' who don't really know what they are doing for the long-term. the people they attract are the ones who soon leave and call it a scam.
Hope you are right and they won't ruin the future :)
