RE: Your Steemit College Level Education Course, eighteen seconds of hints and tips ; how to get noticed and how to get read !!!
I have 3 people I follow. Will my steemit experience really change that much if I am following 50?
With a reputation of 47 which you have somehow someone has noticed you and upvoted your posts. For the new Steemian who has no clue how the platform works with a Reputation of 25 how many people are going to repeatedly post on that persons different posts over time.
Some people can make money from 9 votes and others cannot make anything for 25 votes. Unless new people make connections Steemit runs the risk of losing potentially quality presenters. Obviously if a serious presenter knows how Social Media works arrives they may not need a lot of followers ; then there is the rest of the entire world who must learn : )
Okay, obviously if I have followers, then that helps. What does it matter if I follow more people myself I guess is the question. Is it just that people are noticing that I help them and they help me in return?
I use my votes for set purposes, 1) to upvote myself , 2) to vote for stuff that i feel is quality or helps make a difference , 3) to acknowledge other users.
Never do I just exchange votes or just upvote specific people, but rather I am human I can only look at 25 or 50 posts per day. Since Steemit gets thousands of posts per day , I feed within my feed. This means I simply follow people I think I might like and always look at their content first.
Thus my follows become my regular content and my regular network before I adventure into the limitless of unknown other new posts each day. This way I limit some of my content to quality people and then I start shopping for new outside my feed talent.
To get noticed in Steemit you need 1) TALENT, 2) QUALITY, 3) a NAME brand = yourself. This is my aim ; to upmarket myself slowly over time , I expect people will have me in their feed or drop me since not everyone loves everyone else . . .
But over time hopefully I will become a known quality within my own tiny little niche on Steemit !! !! !!
If that makes any sense ; )
Further if I might clarify , voting blocks are worthless ; there is no gold in curating really and people need a lot of minnow baby votes to earn gold here. I am voting to acknowledge and encourage others , always ; firstly within my feed as a networking principle. That is why Social Media is about , connecting : )
