Here is my two cents:
Are bid bots necessary for real growth?
No, in fact I never touched a bid bot until I did my experiment. This is how growth happens:
- Pick a niche and focus on it
- Get a schedule and stick to it
- Write the best content you can
- Join Discord chat groups and network
- Be patient
How do you keep track of everything?
All the tracking that I do is in my journal. One example is my end of 2018 Steem Power goal tracker. I am a nerd and love computers but learned that I do better writing that kind of stuff down.
What one thing has made the most impact on your Steemit experience?
Networking in Discord chat groups like P.A.L. by the @minnowsupport project and @thewritersblock. It is because of these groups that I am as far along as I am even though I only began to take Steemit seriously back in September of 2017. It is because I joined P.A.L that I met @heymattsokol and in turn was invited to join @sndbox.
Thanks for the shout out and linking my post! Happy to meet you and if you ever need anything please feel free to ask me. I am most reachable on Discord (username: jrswab#3134).
Hard work always pays off in the long run and real growth never happens over night.

Hi J.R.,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! I really appreciate it. That was my gut feeling re: bid bots too, especially given the controversy surrounding them. In my time in marketing I've always found it better to grow organically by the same processes you mentioned: finding a sweet spot, planning in advance and providing real value. Glad to know you've found success through the same channels.
Thanks again for your answer. Have a great weekend!
anytime! see you around steemit
