Over 400 followers..So why does this depress me? Just letting off a little Steem

in #whalepower7 years ago

Yesterday I hit a milestone of over 500 followers...Yipee..There is just one problem..my average upvote on my steems only average 5 or 6 upvotes. Why is this...I have used up a lot of power by upvoting and resteeming a lot of your posts. I stay powered up 100%. Are my post really that bad? I think not as I put a lot of time and effort to my posts.

Well here it is:

If you are following me just to get my upvotes and resteems and are not bothering to read my articles, that is your loss. I will continue to press on. However, I wish to leave you with one piece of advice...If you do not take the time to nurture good relationships and support those who are supporting you or if you are here just to scam..then don't be surprised or upset when all your followers desert you for more meaningful relationships. We are a community here and if you wish to remain on the outside looking in then who am I to judge. I am here simply to see what I can do to help others and hopefully add a little more joy and beauty to your lives.

I leave you with this one very powerful statement:

"YOU GIT WHAT YOU GIVE"

Today I give you the gift of love, peace, gratitude and lots of ALOHA by sharing my thoughts and this beautiful flower from my garden.

I have not read all of your posts because I am brand new to Steemit but, I've liked the few that I've read. You provide original and well-written content and eye catching pictures.

One thing you may consider is not to re-steem that much. looking at your profile page, it's hard to find your content because your page is populated with resteems. Also, you may need to try different strategies to see which brings you the best results

Thank you for your feedback @sylviaspence I resteem a lot of worthy posts of those who are supporting me, so it is a tough call for me. There has to be a better solution to this problem. I appreciate you and your support.

When I was trying to decide if I wanted to follow someone who had followed me, if I went to their page and mostly I saw resteems rather that #originalcontent, I turned away.
Then someone who has been here a lot longer, told me that at this stage of the game (I'm a minnow) I should follow back anyone who follows me.
Consequently, now my feed is filled with trite stuff, and I can't find the posts of my friends without scrolling like, forever.
I am beginning to regret that decision.
That being said, I am experiencing the same thing; upvotes, comments and shares are way down for me.
I too, spend a great deal of time crafting my posts, AND
my replies

Same here @jerrytsuseer hopefully the developers will figure out a solution and give us a link to our originalcontent so we can continue to support each other with resteems and still be able to find our own.

We started using the #originalcontent hashtag in tsu. Using that you can track stuff, but hardly anyone here is using it

@jerrytsuseer honest is the only way I know how to be

@jerrysuseer thanks, I will give it a shot!

I agree! I have so wondered how we could easily isolate our own content and possibly have a better way to categorize or sort our posts, aside from putting in some tags. We're still and beta though, so there must be a solution to this. :) What an honest post @thethreehugs. :)

Try not to get stressed over things like this, it will only push you away from the platform. Try building some relationships, and grow a good following. In time it will balance out.

Thanks @timbot606 I don't push away that easy. I just think there is a better solution. I appreciate your input!

I really like your posts & appreciate..keep it up..
Resteemed & upvoted

ahh, thank you @nilmi I appreciate your kind words. It is always a blessing to feel appreciated.

I've been feeling the same way here. I think we just need to plug on and continue to support each other in real ways. I consider myself a mini-minnow.

Same here @goldkey Thanks for your input and support!
