RE: I have mixed feelings about Steemit

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

I feel discouraged when I put up a solid piece that just disappears into the abyss.I feel discouraged when I put up a solid piece that just disappears into the abyss.

I totally get you, my man. I felt the exact same way a year ago when I joined. But I kept posting and posting. And also commenting and commenting which will get you everywhere here, imho. High quality Commenting that is ...where you are adding to the Discussion at hand.

It took me like 15 Posts before I hit $1. And it's been peaks and valleys ever since. But in the last couple of weeks been making some headway as I am consistently getting well over a $1. And that's after one year of working my arse off here. Next I go for $2 consistently etc..etc..

But sooner or later I know it will pay off. Steem will go up after SMTs are released. It's going to be huge in what I have observed and studied.

One of the Keys is to get a few fans that you catch their eyes. Mine was two people @getonthetrain and @brianphobos. Evidently they liked my Content and started upvoting me.

Kind of like me with you :)

Anyway, also joining @thealliance is another great step to take. Which I did last Feb. You should have no problem getting accepted with your Writing prowess !

Btw, I put you on my manuel curation trail. So I will be visiting your blog quite often ;)

Just keep on keeping on , and I think you will go places here :)

Thanks, my friend. Sadly, I've had quite a busy week and haven't even been able to post. My wife is in finals week for nursing school so I've just been trying to get things done so she can focus on studying.

In what little time I have had, I've been working on a sort-of personal piece about my history that has turned out to be ridiculously long, though I still haven't gotten it ready to post.

I would prefer to simplify and portion out this piece, as it is tragically long, but it will fulfill its purpose best if left intact as a single post. Hopefully, I'll have it done here soon. Been at it for about a week, but, as I said, haven't had the time I'd like to dedicate to it.

After I get this piece posted, and my wife is through finals week, I will be posting more frequently and building off of what I've talked about in this piece. It's a bit of a personal narrative to my life. I feel it is important to post it. It's honestly been a bit cathartic to write as well, and I don't want to ruin that vibe by posting it prematurely or unfinished.

Thank you for your support, it is nice to meet people like you and have some support.
