Awesome reply, already seems to be working ! I think indeed that long term quality will win out. If not on Steemit.com it will pay off in other ways.
For me writing on Steemit.com is a system not a goal. (need to write a post about that) It is a great concept from Scott Adams.
For me, even if the earnings don't materialize, (although I already made an infinite amount more than on say cough Face* Cough Boo Cough ) I will still win because I am refining ideas and getting valuable feedback. Those Ideas I can apply in my coaching, maybe online courses, ... there are ever more ways to monetize ideas.
Check out Scott Adams on goals vs Systems, it's really worthwhile
Exactly. We can think about Steemit as an investment. I don't think Warren Buffet made his billions by being a short term trader. Obviously, think about writing on Steemit as "buying the Steemit" stocks.
There's so many strategies and tactics before you run out of ideas. You can do contests, give out free SBDs, videos, and etc but I believe at the end of the day, people don't need to feel warm and fuzzy inside.
It's just plain O good content.
Then again, I might just be wrong since the world doesn't work the way I perceive it. If I'm wrong, let's just call it learning. :D
