RE: Is Steemit Too Hard For New Minnows?

in #steemit7 years ago

To some extent, you must agree that this platform is becoming harder with the increase in the number of users. And you are right, without effort, how could anybody expect positive results. I'm a beginner and I'm not expecting huge rewards now, but one thing disappoints me and that is, I started to write blogs, I was not expecting a high return but those posts didn't even get views. Like if nobody sees what I share, how could they decide whether that is good or bad?
Please tell me how to get more viewers on my post?
Like, can you please tell what was wrong in these posts that these couldn't get few viewers?

One thing that I see is that you are not putting enough value in your posts. The DMania posts are not worth much at all. They are just memes and those generally don't do well here. The one about believe me they exist did the best because you added the most content and provided a lot more value to the reader. You are also only doing one or two a day. It will take a while to grow so spend more time reading and replying to others. IT will really help. Good luck man.

You need to read and comment until you have at least 100 followers, or you're going to burn out.

@mattclarke, without any offense brother, what I've observed that steemit users don't use FEED, instead they go to trending & Hot tabs for getting curation rewards. My friend who introduced this platform to me, has 1500 followers but often he didn't get even 10 views or even one upvote on some of his posts. So, would a high number of followers really matter?

Quantity of followers doesn't matter, but quality does.
If they followed you because you followed them and they don't care about you, they're not going to read your stuff.
If they liked a comment you made and want to see more of what you have to say, they're good followers.
Its slow, but much better than blogging into dead air.

Good point. So, I should better interact with the people who are commenting on my posts or upvoting it or both.
Thanks bro for guidance. Following you. :-)

Its more about your comments on other people's posts.
Like this one.

That's for sure I'm doing or better to say I'm focusing on carefully reading and then commenting something good about the subject matter. :)

Interaction and quality comments will get you seen. Nice post will run the potential of getting flagged...

Though I never wrote like that or got flagged, but learned it by observing few people whom reputation were falling instead of progress. Thanks for reminding. :)
