Great points! I am with you. If it wasn't for one certain voter all of my posts would be a dollar or two.., and I have been here over a year.
Then again I post about Cigars, and there aren't many cigar smokers here, yet.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yeah, some people are lucky enough to have a constant whale backer and I'm happy for you on that front. I guess I haven't been lucky enough to find one yet! It's probably because I hardly connect with them, because we don't generally share the same interests. Atleast any post I find in trending just doesn't attract me :-)
Yeah, it is a very niche topic! I can't say I'm very interested in cigars either ;-)
I am grateful for the $15-20 vote it provides...., but of course I see so much more people are making for something that takes no time. I am ok with that, life is not fair and Steemit isn't suppose to be either.
Yup, Steemit is like anything else, it's a lot about who you know :-)
Yeah, no question about it. I don't have whale followers (none that I'm aware of), but a few dolphins and orcas. The only time a post I resteem gets a big bump in awards is when a follower who has a whale following him or her upvotes it. But that doesn't happen often.
I do a mix of resteeming - newbies, minnows, and others. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not so much.
Anyhow...here is a resteem for YOU to 12,000+ followers. I hope it helps, @playfulfoodie. :)
What @playfulfoodie write resonates with me as I am in the same position as a veteran minnow. Is this how we can call ourselves. Just appreciating the fact that you are resteeming the post. A lot of veteran minnows are in the same position.
12,000+? Oh my gosh, that are so many followers! I don't think I've seen anyone with that many followers yet... Thanks a lot for the resteem :-)
I see you made resteeming your core business! It is a very noble cause and much appreciated, I'm sure, by those you resteem.
You're right that an upvote from one individual can make all the difference, due to the voting trail they have :-)
I upvoted you :D
And I followed you. Maybe one day it will be worth something ;)
Hahaha.. I'd have to thank @innuendo for that, my highest paying post would probably be $5 without him
"Yet" Bam! My entire thoughts summed up in one word. Who will the aficionados flock to when they arrive?
The guy who's already established here.
Don't be here for today. Be here for what'll be happening a year from now.
Yes indeed..., I run more than one cigar group on FB... I am waiting for communities and/or a better UI to get a bunch of them over, I know most are fed up with FB and worried about getting shut down for cigar selling, trading, etc. The cigar community is absolutely huge on FB and elsewhere online.
Paypal is the main payment trading method, imagine if it was Steem.. :-D
I can see your humidor filling up with free samples from boutique operators hoping for a kind mention.
Being there then requires being here now.
That would be nice... lol.
By then there will be pro writers on Steemit, and that is fine with me, that would mean Steem is huge.
