RESTEEM SERVICES CAN RUIN YOUR CHANCES!
Fellow Steemians,
- Consider This A Wake Up Call!
I have been a member on Steemit for 15 months and I've witnessed tons of amazing, inspiring and motivational things.. - I've seen hundreds of articles reaping thousands of dollars in rewards and I've also seen a bunch of Steemians who're trying to "play the system" in an attempt to basically steal all your rewards.
DON'T FALL FOR THIS!
Follow For Follow Doesn't Work On Steemit.
I know that some of you are coming to Steemit without a clue of what you can, should or could do. I also know that you'll hear that quality content, consistency and followers will play a major role on Steemit. - All of that is true.
However, what I feel is that most people are starting to think is that the so commonly used "instagram-technique" will do wonders and that miracles will happen because of it. - And it doesn't.
I have managed to get more than 1300 followers since I joined. 15 months ago. I don't claim to be "the best" at getting followers or building my audience, because I'm definitely not. Other Steemians have made a larger impact than me and others have been way more successful than me. - That being said, I still have managed to get more than 1300 followers so I still believe that I know what I'm doing. At least to some extent.
- And I think that most of you would agree?
Some Of You Aren't Aware Of This...
I offered Resteems too. For a short while. I was broke and I stood right in front of a true shitstorm. Instead of begging for donations out of pity, I tried to come up with something that my readers would benefit from during the same time I'd be able to make a couple of extra bucks here and there. - That's when I came up with the Resteem idea.
I know I have a following which I've built manually. All my followers have manually followed me out of their own will. - I've never tried to persuade anyone to follow me, and I've never begged anyone for a follow.
- I thought I'd be able to offer quality instead of quantity.
I had a couple of orders, I was explaining my situation for my readers. I told them that this was a temporary thing, just to aid me financially for a short amount of time. I was desperate but I was also taking care of my followers which I cherish.
I don't want to lose followers. I work hard and put in tons of effort to build my following. I want to grow my audience, not the other way around!
(I don't offer this nowadays and I only offered this for 14 days in total.)
Most Resteem Services Are PURE Garbage!
0.2 SBD is all it takes to attract the eyeballs of 7700 followers.
- Sounds to good to be true?
Let me just clarify one0 reputation score. thing before going any further. I don't know @bilalhaider. I don't know his true intentions and I don't know the exact reasons for him to have a
I will use him as one example, out of several Resteem Servies out there. - What you do after reading this is up to you.
First of all, whenever you encounter a Resteem Service you'll want to look at three things in total.
You obviously want to see the current amount of followers but not only that. You'll also want to take a look at the current amount of people the user is following.
You should also take a look at the reputation score and how much this user is generating on their own posts. If they don't publish posts at all you can expect nothing for their Resteems. If the user have a decent amount of rewards on their own articles, the Resteem might be a good thing.
And we have one more thing:
http://steemit.deadfollowers.info/
Here you can see how many dead followers a specific person have. To continue with the above example, let's take a look at this:
Out of the total number of 7700+ followers almost 2000 followers are dead. That obviously mean that these people will not see your articles. So if the dead follower amount is high, be cautious.
That being said...
If you look at the amount of people this user is following... You'll see 88,000+. So this person has obviously been able to build his following with the use of the so famous instagram-technique".
- And what does that mean?
In theory, the deal is amazing. Transfer 0.2 SBD to reach almost 8000 people. - But this will bring you almost nothing of value, so even though 0.2 SBD isn't much, it's a total waste of time.
something of real value for the money.A way better option for you would be to save up to 0.5 SBD and use @randowhale instead. That way, you'll at least get
NOTE:
I truly recommend that you read a post from @saywha.
Here you have it: ABUSE PSA. DO NOT USE RESTEEM SERVICE BY @BILALHAIDER
This is a great article with valuable information about this specific Resteem Service. This user has been acting weird, odd and extremely bad... - And that's also the reason for his reputation score.
And there you have it. - Use your head!
I knew that username rang a bell. Going through your linked post I remember him now.
All these 'services' are little more than comment spam in your wallet. Keep your money, build up your own network organically. And bear in mind many users, myself included, mute accounts that simply resteem.
Very well-said!
Thank you for this @hitmeasap. I appreciate the insight.
I guess all of us minnows are out here looking for eyes. We want people to look at the AMAZING content we created. You see someone willing to resteem and it sounds like a good deal.
But your assersion also makes a ton of sense. I already pay hardly any attention to the posts listed as resteem in my timeline. I imagine for whales it is even less likely to strike home.
The message bears repeating, over and over, it takes time and work to build a following. It is sometimes hard to be a minnow trying to be patient. But in the end it will be well worth the time spent!
Thanks again ! Have a great day!!?
True, Sad, Cool and Awesome at the same time actually. Agree? :)
Thanks for highlighting these @hitmeasap. Providing resteem services is just the next step for people who are gaining followers via shady tactics.
I have been generating a daily report of such users for quite a while now. Some of them have even gone a step further and launched their own websites such as resteem.com and resteemexposure.com
This was a weird and hard read for me. You're against resteem services, but then you offered a resteem services. But at least you explained it. :)
Ironic, but truthful post.
I liked it.
Now please re-steem my post
...to which you'd probably say:
Umm @intelliguy did you not hear me when I said:
Yes, I did. But you did say:
So am I resteemable ?? :)
Just to clarify. I'm obviously not talking about Resteems in general. I'm talking about Resteem Services. A service being offered from a user who sell Resteems for SBD or STEEM.
Resteems is a fantastic thing and I love the way you can share other people's content with a click of a button, but I am against most Resteem Services as most of them are true bogus and nothing but a money-making-machine for the owners. Like my example shows you, the user of such Resteem Service will get nothing or at least very little in return for the cost of the service. - And that's why I am against these services.
When I came up with my own Resteem service, I came to the conclusion that my followers are worth more than many other Resteem Services providers, because I have never done follow for follow or other stupid things like that. I've built my following during a long, long way. Manually. And my followers have followed me based on their own actions and due to their own will. - My followers are quality compared to other Resteem Service providers followers, which are quantity. - Also, I offered this for a very limited time, when I faced a true shitstorm, so it was literally the only thing I could come up with, so I still offered something for the money I was asking for.
Resteeming an article will not hurt your reputation at all. However, using Resteem Services, where you pay money to someone to Resteem your article might hurt your reputation. - I wouldn't like to do business with someone like the user in my example for instance. Based on this persons behaviour and reputation. - If I bought Resteems from him, I'd literally feed him money and also encourage him to continue his journey... - And that could potentially hurt my reputation in the long run.
Right. Thank you for taking the time to clarify. I have noticed these resteem services showing up all over the place. These are people from twitter who offer to tweet your words to 5,000 followers. They've now arrived on steem to do the same thing here.
The problem is that it's rarely effective. If I was on a resteem feed and it was pushing material I didn't like, I'd end up just unfollowing. A lot of other people won't go through that trouble, they would just bypass all the posts and never upvote. So resteem services is basically stupid. :)
I hear you and I agree with you. My attempt was out of desperation, but I also figured it would be worth more for the people who used my Resteem service compared to many others, just out of the quality of the followers. - However, I also offered this during a very limited time and I was honest about my intentions from day 1. - My readers knew the reasons for this service to appear and they knew it was for a limited time alone.
That said, I truly believe these type of services are pretty much worthless and that's also why I felt like "warning" or at least clarifying my thoughts about these services.
Good well informed post!
I never use those resteems options, i get many request with a 0.01 amount. I just see them as extra presents and completely ignore their reqeust. Yep, i always seek for the bright sides in life, because if i cant value the small amount, then how i would not value the bigger amount. :)
May i ask what are the details? So you have a resteem option @hitmeasap ?
I offered Resteems for a very limited time a few weeks ago, when I was in truly desperate times. It was more of a "Support a fellow Steemian" sort of thing, and I gave people a Resteem for 1 SBD. - I managed to get a loan from neoxian so I've been able to sort out most of the things since then. I don't offer Resteems nowadays.
That's a good way to see things. As an extra present or a gift. However, I find it very disturbing personally, to see my wallet history with these sort of beggars or service advertisements, so I don't see these as presents or gifts. I see it as spam and I personally hate it.
Ok i see, thanks for the reply back. Its good that you manage to get your loan. That information can motivate others to support others with loans as well.
Im honestly also in a project, what could work if i only manage to get a little stronger with steempower.
I know what you men about the spam, i can be very annoying in some way. But if you hate them,then it will only fill your self up with negativity from someone else. Just f..k them and dont hate, because they are walking around with a shovel to buried them self. The only strategy what works on Steemit is to create quality content, nothing more and nothing less.
A wolfpack of sharks in this ecosystem to hunt down spammers, hoax guys and hackers, would be very nice. I think would be the first to volunteer for that!
Thanks for the info really great post
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :)

People that are following those who are offering the resteem service most likely aren't even going to see or read the article you'd have resteemed. I unfollowed all that started to do offer those because you get a complete flood of resteem posts making it impossible to normally view the posts of people you are following.
Good points! Most of the time there isn't a good way to build fast that is also meaningful.
Thank you for your important information.
