RE: I would like to WIN this OPPORTUNITY to make maximum contribution to steemit and fellow minnows

in #steemit8 years ago

Hello Yoda,
Since you are so eager to help people, could you answer a question for me?
Can you tell me the advantages of joining these support groups? It seems like there is quite a lot of competition and one has to beg for upvotes just to stay afloat. I have been trying to get by without having to join any groups and although it is a struggle, I'm making steady progress. I don't enjoy begging and would like to be able to reach the top on the merits of my work rather on the mercy of others. Having said that, it is not easy to find a large audience, so I'm wondering if by joining one of the support groups there would be a larger audience or if the same thing happens there and posts just get buried rather quickly?

Thanks for your time.

like this.You ask a great question and I will give my best to answer. I believe that joining groups like @minnowsupport is good for morale and you get to be amongst like minded people. @minnowsupportproject helped me get a few upvotes but it did not make be rich at all. Within these groups we get to see tips and real information that can help us a little with earnings

But it is no substitute for hard work, dedication, and good intentions. Come and see what else I say about these matters @yoda1917

Hope I helped a little.

OK, thank-you.
What I get out of your answer is that other than moral support, joining gives you no advantage. It promotes vote-buying which I cannot agree with. This platform is supposed to reward good content. Buying votes means you can write garbage and just pay for a vote. I can see that as a slippery slope to the bottom. Sorry, but just not my cup of tea. I value integrity over making a quick buck. In fact I have been giving away some of what little I make just to spread the wealth.

Thanks for the honesty and insight.
