RE: The Great Resteeming Dilemma & Other Unwritten Steemiquette Questions
You and me both. I've been here two weeks and I'm trying to keep at least one post/blog a day.
I came here with one intention and discovered I was way off on what Steemit actually was. I'm just watching, commenting, learning, and whatever else I can do to get a grasp on things here.
Well, I'm sure we'll find our way through the crazy waters of Steemit!
With big loves from me,

Blogging and random shit with substance. You can share your art here but don’t have any expectations as some stuff just gets lost in a giant feed. We are all spread very thin but we want quality too!
steemithelp.net to the rescue
7 blogs a week is a lot for someone new. It’s more about being consistent week after week. I see people try and push themselves doing 1 blog a day and after a couple of months when the ball starts to roll they are burned out and take a month off. Then they came back and post and no one is even checking in on them anymore.
I had to take a fair amount of time off for some IRL stuff. I lost all momentum.
Instead, focus on a more manageable number like 3 a week to start with.
Totally agree. One post a day sounds easy and reasonable - until life gets in the way.
Never hurts to have a couple of finish blogs that are not time dependent when they get posted. Then on those busy days you just have to find a couple of mins to get it posted.
I got some I'll use if I go almost a week without posting due to real life.
That's awesome and a great attitude to have. Like @whatamidoing says - do not allow a lack of response on art posts to in any way to get you down. If you've been here 2 weeks - you probably already have a feel for the type of content that does well.
That said - Steemit is so new in the scheme of things, I have a feeling artists and writers eventually will get more attention - as more people (and influencers) come here.
Also agree with @enjar - I set my goal post low after failing last time. Now I aim to post once a week lol. Three sounds more reasonable and less lazy haha.
Cheers to (hopefully) navigating the white water rapids of Steem lol
(This comment is in response to @brotherdave 's first comment - I feel like a loser upvoting my own comments, so I'm way down here lol - but just for context - this belongs ^ there :-P )
I seriously pumped up my account so my votes would be worth something. It turns out, about 10 grand of steem power only brings your vote value up to a dollarish or so. So I support those who I think could use it. And I reward myself for the effort. Sorry if upvoting yourself makes one appear to some as being a loser. Its just a sound financial decision. And I'm out trying to help newcomers feel noticed and welcome. Hello, Welcome, Here is where you can learn some stuff and meet great friends.Now I'm going to upvote this too .the loser I am
Totally not judging you on upvoting comments. I mean - me upvoting my own comment on my own post isn't a good look (good point though...the ability exists, and not bad if it's not abused.) Upvoting one's own posts makes total sense. I forgot to. But once we put work into something, I think we deserve our own upvotes!
I'm kicking myself so hard for not putting in more back when I joined Steem at $.20. Of course, it was new to me, and I didn't know if I could 'trust' it. 10 grand of steem wouldn't even be an option for me now. Shoulda woulda coulda.
:-) And I'm pretty sure you upvoting your comments on my post benefits me - so upvote away lol
Honest, I'm just getting started so for a while I hit every button that got a response. My promote button doesn't work yet. But if it did, I would be promoting everybody too. It's all in fun. Thanks for reading my posts
OMG I just discovered my 100% upvote is a meaningful amount! (at least more meaningful than it's ever been) Now I can't stop lol. Great comments.
Checking out your blog now too :-) I've heard promotion is an expensive endeavor without many results - but when and if I'm ever a dolphin or a whale - maybe I'll go through and promote minnows :-P
lots of tutorials on you tube.... jerry banfield is good hang in there
