RE: Survival of a Cockroach

Im actually curious. Does it work? Do you get payed to promote others posts?
Memo spam is basically blockchain email marketing. hehe.

I personally dont mind it but what i am curious with are your results.

Looking at his account it's looking positive. Got us both talking here...

Growth is growth and success is all subjective.

Well sure. Im here since the memo spam thing is an interesting occurrence. Im interested to see if it works consistently.

so far I've dropped in a couple of times now already

Thanks for your supportive comment @ganjafarmer

Dear @ganjafarmer

This playersclub sounds like a place for those who like to gamble. that's not me :)

Hello @ganjafarmer

Thanks for taking the time to comment

Dear @lordbutterfly

Does it work? Do you get payed to promote others posts?

I'm not sure who could possibly pay me for doing that :) To tell you the truth, promoting others posts only cost me time, effort and money. But I'm here (on Steemit) for a long run and I strongly believe that by supporting other authors I will benefit in many ways in the future. Simply because knowing right people allows to create opportunities.

I personally dont mind it but what i am curious with are your results.

Memos alone do not help much. People tend to ignore memos if they do not recognize nickname of user sending them. For that reason I'm spending tons of hours reading and curating content I consider valuable. Last month alone (according to my notes) I read and commented almost 200 publications. And I replied to over 1k comments. That is really time consuming, but it's already paying back (for example: I recently secured myself a position as a marketing advisor for some Swiss upcoming STO).

Bottom line is: sending memos to people who recognize you make sense, because (based on my experience) 30-60% of those people will engage (depending on subject). Sending memos to those who do not know you is kind of waste of money (response rate ... perhaps close to 5-10%).

Hope I managed to satisfy your curiousity :)

Yours
Piotr

Very interesting your comment, as usual. It takes a lot of time to answer all comments. But it is gratifying to know that there are many people who support your convictions.

And we can learn something on the way @jadams2k18 :)

That's true too my dear friend

Hello @lordbutterfly

I'm glad you don't mind the memos. So far, there is a large percentage, if not a majority, who do not bother to receive memos. There's also the fact that memos shouldn't value 0.001 either. I'm sure this platform could consider them spam if a lot of them are sent with that amount.

However, many agree that the opinions of others and their privacy should be respected. Therefore we should only send memos to those who follow us and indicate in the memo the possibility of not receiving them in the future, if necessary.

Thanks for coming by

I dont really think its that big of a issue if im honest. A front end can always put in a filter for memos with under 0.1 (or something) Steem.
Its a silly discussion IMO and the folks that complain the most about it are just bored.
