So excatly a week ago me and my friends have started posting on our new Steem account - @steemagazin. Until now we've wrote 7 posts and 2 comments. We've also upvoted all of our commentators at our introduce post and some people for who we had a belief that will appreciate what we're starting and give us a push. Now, the problem for us starts with very limited Resource Credits (RC). Our max mana is currently around 36,000,000,000RC which means that our daily recharge is 7,272,000,000RC. It says that current RC cost for commenting is 1,570,000,000RC which means that with 1 post per day we're left with 5,702,000,000RC. If we use our 10 votes per day it will cost us 2,840,000,000RC. At the end of a day we're left with only 2,862,000,000RC which is enough for only 1 comment per day. Add to this that every transaction, follow, resteem etc. costs some RC and it leaves us with almost nothing.
Here's where it gets tricky because not only we can't answer if someone comments, we can't even make comments on others people articles (which is the best way to get people notice you and check your work). Now I know that this fork has brought us some positive things, but I really think that this is not a good way to attract new people. If I said to a friend that he should try this new social network on blockchain but he needs to pay $30-40 to comment he woudn't be so interested, would he?
Our payouts for this 7 posts are currently around $1.05 with one promoted post on which we've spent 0.224SBD. I would say it's a fair start for us since our strongest team member has less than 200SP and the second one is on 40SP. As I've said in the beginning, we're gonna post every day at least one article. Our interests vary from technology, cryptocurrencies, sports, history, geography, politcs and many more. I want to mention that we're completely satisfied with a way things been going for now, but for a new user this RC limitation can be a trigger for him to leave Steemit. If someone knows what're the plans for the future of Steemit and if this RC limit is going to be regulated furthermore, please leave a comment. Btw. I still think that future looks very bright for Steemit. :)
Thanks for using eSteem!
