You may have some good points there but I have come to learn that getting upvotes has less to do with giving others upvotes, writing good content or being exceptional. Most people who earn a lot are part of communities, others too bid with the bots and a whole lot of other techniques that aren't always mentioned by many..
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I have one piece of advice that I recently read -- and that I didn't follow -- and that is to find a niche and participate in that niche. I didn't do this, so my followers are spread over all sorts of topics and might not necessarily care about some things I post. Certainly, you're right that belonging communities, buying votes, etc. can help with exposure. I'm just saying that working in a niche is probably the most effective tactic -- once you have tons of followers, you can go off on tangents. Again, I diddn't follow it. We have a saying . "Do as I say but NOT what I do." :)
In most cases I prefer do as I do not as I say. :)
This is also a blogging platform and you have to do all the standard things to build up a blog.
But on the other hand , I am not so sure if all the marketing "advice" is applicable on Steemit , since they are not many active users yet and the community is so strong.
Who knows ? Trial and error...
Thanks for resteeming.
there is all that. the politics , the cliques , the bots.
and there's a thing not always mentioned ... that most successful people DESERVE to be successful.
and many people believe that those who think that success is related to politics could be just creating excuses.
just a thought.
