RE: If Steem was to fail...
The content quality issue of Steem is quite obvious to anyone who appreciates honesty. The truth that its really two issues combined into one.
- Content discovery is not great
- Wealth distribution is skewed
So, when new accounts create good content, they have to play something I like to call "Whale lotto" you have to be lucky and be found by a whale. So, not only must your content be good, but you also have to appeal to a small audience, the whales (someone that can give you a big boost) and then hopefully the sustainable followers will follow suit. (the ones that will continue to support your blog)
The truth is that the best way to grow on this platform is a combination of relationships, personal development, consistency and good content. Taking the time to have conversations like the one you and I are having is key.
Speaking of key... allow me to extend an invitation to the backstage of steem, something you might not be aware of.
Thanks so much MENO, your comments seem good and sound. I will definitely take them into account! And will look into the link you provided.
From your comments, it's a confirmation that I need to spend just as much time reaching out to influencers in discussions and relationships to really grow here. Thank you again!
Hi again MENO, I heard a rumor that Dan Larimer may start a Steemit 2.0 Have you heard this and do you make anything of it? Thanks, Jennifer Mac
