I have broken even or even lost money on many of my contests. I have paid 60 SBD or more to the booster.
The trade off is followers and the attention necessary to succeed here on Steemit. Then there is the reputation gains.
Everyone needs to find a way to get more eyeballs on their posts. Something new and different to break the $0.00 nightmare that some of you are in.
I try to make unique or funny comments on great posts that have a lot of upvotes. It seems you get more exposure sometimes that way than by writing a great post that no one sees.
This is a cool, fun, easy contest. I dig it.
Many post, then watch to see if they get votes.
I write my post, but before posting...
That is brilliant. You build up a personal buzz about your account and then strategically release your post. I do it the exact opposite. But I usually post late at night.
I saw your handle, read your response - my answer is I post whenever.
But you made me stop what I was doing
and go dig out that old rag and put it on. We da fixers.
That Fatboy is an EVO so I know that shirt has to be pretty old.
It understand. I guess what I was saying it is a win for everyone that gets involved in things like this. I have been on Steemit seven months now and I do all I can to get out there to be seen and get followers. Things like this are great and I enjoy participating in them. Thank you for the opportunity to do so.
Well now you have a whale follower. I like that you didn't ask or beg. It's like, we were just talking about stuff and I liked your blog. :)
Thanks! I do not ask because I think that is rude and if you want to know about me you will check out my blog and if you like it you will follow. I just talk to people and it will get you much more than asking for a follow or vote. That is what Steemit is all about to me communication and sharing ideas. If we all make some money than that is good too.
