Dear @lordbutterfly
Does it work? Do you get payed to promote others posts?
I'm not sure who could possibly pay me for doing that :) To tell you the truth, promoting others posts only cost me time, effort and money. But I'm here (on Steemit) for a long run and I strongly believe that by supporting other authors I will benefit in many ways in the future. Simply because knowing right people allows to create opportunities.
I personally dont mind it but what i am curious with are your results.
Memos alone do not help much. People tend to ignore memos if they do not recognize nickname of user sending them. For that reason I'm spending tons of hours reading and curating content I consider valuable. Last month alone (according to my notes) I read and commented almost 200 publications. And I replied to over 1k comments. That is really time consuming, but it's already paying back (for example: I recently secured myself a position as a marketing advisor for some Swiss upcoming STO).
Bottom line is: sending memos to people who recognize you make sense, because (based on my experience) 30-60% of those people will engage (depending on subject). Sending memos to those who do not know you is kind of waste of money (response rate ... perhaps close to 5-10%).
Hope I managed to satisfy your curiousity :)
Yours
Piotr
Very interesting your comment, as usual. It takes a lot of time to answer all comments. But it is gratifying to know that there are many people who support your convictions.
And we can learn something on the way @jadams2k18 :)
That's true too my dear friend
