RE: The Complete Guide To Steemit Success

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

This HF really seems to be slaughtering me.
I've tried better tags but, my pre-fork earnings were considerably higher than a few cents to a couple bucks. Seems like I'm getting no visibility despite having powered up, etc. And my shiz be valuable too. Like i just did one based on My professional knowleege in laymen terns too.
I might make a little more but i doubt it. All my posts are "petering" out after the 15 minutes to an hour. I don't get it. I'm using good tags, good content, engage everyone's comments. It is getting demoralizing. I feel like the good days were behind the fork and if anything my quality has increased

One of the biggest things that has happened since the HF is the price of Steem dropped almost 40% since it's peak around the time you were getting more money. You have a couple of big posts that made you a good amount of money, but you can't expect to replicate those often. They are nice when they hit, but we can't expect them. You average post may have seen a dip, but there could be other factors. Some people's voting habits changed after the HF and now some pull back on their voting after they vote. I think for someone who started in June, you have come a very long way and should be insanely happy. You've been here less than 60 days and made over $500. There are literally thousands of people who started in June who would love to trade places. Don't quit. Just keep finding things that work. You watched a documentary wrote a great headline and article and made over $300, but have not done another one since? Why are you not doing more documentary reviews? I would suggest instead of posting meme posts, I would watch a documentary and write about it. You made over $200 posting about your favorite artist, but have not done one of those again. That is the stuff you should be talking about. The posts where you are adding the most value are making the most money. Do more of that stuff. Talking about bitcoin to your mom, that is a valuable post. Do more of that and I think you will see your numbers start moving upwards. You do have quality posts, but remember, quality is subjective. Focus on adding value.
I hope that helps. I'm rooting for you.

@walkingkeys
I've actually done post(s) on two other artists since the lisa mitrokhin one.
And I have not only been doing only "meme posts"
I didn't counter in the 40% price drop.
I write about what on the mind and /or tugging on the heart strings. I am definitely a mood writer. I have several documentaries i want to write about actually but since I'm a mood writer i can't just "pull it out of my ass" so to speak.
Anyway, I was venting. Never said I was giving up. Thanks for sharing your insight. I do appreciate you taking the time to help me realize I'm just being a bit silly.

I understand, and I want to help you. You are frustrated by it. You've made a post about it and commented several times mentioning it. Let's figure it out. I know you don't do "meme" posts often. I was just using that as an example. You have a ton of great content. Here are a few suggestions.

  1. Directly replicate the title to something that works. If your artist piece worked, make sure your next artist title is formatted the same way.
    2.Your first line should always tease the content you are talking about.
  2. Most people are mood writers, until they just become writers. I was the same way, but through years of practice, I can now sit down and write whenever. You are insanely talented and you can write all the time, you just have to break that mental barrier.
    I think your posts are great. I went back and looked at a lot of your old ones and new ones and you are getting better. Sometimes a single whale vote can really help out. If they stop voting for some reason it can cause a big drop. Just don't give up and I'm glad you are not going to. I think you have so much potential on here. I've never had a post make me more than $70 on payout, so you have the ability to go "viral". Just keep putting out the great content you are and it will happen again. I believe in you!
