I saw this post - gem resteemed by @suesa and I am happy to discover it.
I like the fact that not only you have managed to identify (in my opinion) one of the most important problems encountered by newbies (which is false expectations) but also propose some very important solutions.
(I only do not know about bots, not tried that yet)
I believe that we need to educate new people, but it is also important that the new people entering or thinking to enter, should be willing to learn new things and understand that it takes effort and time to 'build up' their steemit reputation and steemit friends.
And by the time they will manage to do that, rewards will be of secondary value :)
This post deserves a resteem, and it is done with all my heart.
Thank you so much! Your words really bring a smile to my heart. And thanks also for letting me know about your resteem and Seusa's. I'm now following you both.
Thank You!!
You can monitor your resteems by setting up @ginabot or by visiting steem.rocks/indigoocean (where you see all your steemit activity) + new followers
Please let me know if you need any steemit help, I have recently created a mini markdown guide you might find a little bit helpful :)
p.s. I have just sent you a twit, hope it will be well received!
Thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out ginabot, but steem.rocks is great. I see now that I'm also low on bandwidth! I never noticed that before. And all I've been doing is commenting, so I learned something else new. It's not just about the upvoting. I have to also slow down my commenting until I have more SP!
