Thanks @nexusvortex777, keep doing your thing!
It takes patience & perseverance to get heard on this platform. I can see you're already further than me in terms of followers and posts, so well done on that front!
I need to dedicate more time to crafting content and building a following but I am bit torn as to whether I should continue or focus my efforts elsewhere.
A few colleagues and I want to launch our own blog and I also want to launch another blog. I like the long-form content on medium and feel that this suits me better. I know that Steemit could be a nice platform for this content too but it takes a lot of work in getting heard, as there are just so many users here now and some are churning out 10+ posts per day!
I want to try a little experiment where I keep posting and posting, in the hope that I reach more people and build my following.
However, I don't feel that I should save my best content for Steemit just yet, because it just gets lost and disappears in the platform.. That definitely changes when you have a decent following though!
I am also quite tempted to try out some fictional writing. Seen a couple of series here and they are quite nice!
I think I'm rather lucky to have gained the followers, truthfully. It's a humbling experience to say the least. I find value in coming online each day and posting on Steemit more than any other website. I am learning as I go along and though I might not be making top steem right now, I am finding enjoyment in the community!
You're right it does take a lot of work to be heard but for me that's where engaging with you guys in the comment section comes into play.
I think your experiment may pay off for you in the long run and if you want to give it a try, I encourage you and support you in your efforts.
Of course, what you do is entirely up to you. I agree a lot of content gets lost in the flow of things so I save my posts in Word before I submit the content here.
It would be awesome in my opinion, if you wrote some fiction. I'd read it!
You have my support!!
