Excellent work - so much info, I wish more people would post in long-form like this, adding to the minority of posts on this platform that won't be an embarrassment to the blockchain once it's locked-in. Hopefully it'll get rewarded with a few more $$$
At what stage are you going to warn people about the high volume of BS on steemit and explain that many (not all) of the high payouts they see are because of votbots, high SP self voting and/ or whale-circles? Personally I think it's good to get this stuff in early and instruct people on how to avoid seeing it all (via their feeds rather than the trending tags).
Of course you have to point out that a money-first approach isn't a healthy starting point, but people are going to see nothing-posts earning a fortune, if they know why, it might aid retention!
NB typo alert under 'undoing what you have done'
then use your vote’s wisely.
Totally agree @revisesociology. Detailed posts like this are invaluable on the blockchain.
@paulag - I am running a 5 week course on steemit in a local community venue in west Wales. Would it be okay to borrow some of your course structure and ideas?
sure of course it would
That's great, thank you.
And the face to face community schooling is an excellent idea of course!
sure of course it would
i will be making it clear from the start that this is not a get rich scheme and not to expect much in terms of finances at the start. hence the part about not worrying about the wallets and rewards
