I’ve never seen Steemit as useless personally. There are just too many options here. My posting frequency has gone up and down but I have too much fun here to see it as pointless.
I tend to set goals with the platform though. I want to hit certain SP targets, convert a certain amount of SBD to Bitcoin and other things.
It also pays to have some communities that you’re part of where you post regular stuff. I have my weekly beer competition and have started entering @originalworks competitions as well.
Those two things combined keep my content flowing pretty well. I’m also considering running a monthly SP delegation comp to keep things exciting.
Hey Mazzle, tbh, I wished I was more organised. But I flutter here, there and everywhere. It’s been on my mind to set clear goals, but they’d be very different. I’m more driven by experiences, learning, and people. I assume the money will come along as I grow in my own way.
For now, I have the few I love, and some who occasionally read my stuff. Otherwise, I look for little projects I could do. I’m not here for money because I’ve declined payment on stuff.
Other than that, it’s pure luck I’m running off. I say pointless, but of course it’s not. Maybe what it is, is cutting the pointless distractions, the artificialityand focusing finding the genuine hearts of this platform. I’m really about meeting interesting people here.
I been active on communities including securing a sponsorship, I’ve encourage people to participate in contests, all my 3 curies are contest entries. I’ve done all that. Jack even got me to do a fundraiser.
The one thing I’m unlikely to ever do, is ask for delegation and justify my worth. It’s more fun when they just mysteriously appear. Hehe. But to each their own.
Good luck! :)
It's definitely about finding the people and communities you value here. :)
I probably made it sound as if I was only interested in earning money, but it's the people that have kept me here for the long term. I've met a few of them face to face as well which is cool.
My comp is very unlikely to be about people begging for delegation. I find that sort of thing quite icky. It would be more in line with inviting people to nominate a cause or community that needs support.
The delegation contest that I am running right now seems to have attracted people who are asking me to delegate to causes more than individuals which was a nice surprise.
Anyway! You're clearly doing well with your here and there approach so keep doing that :)
