RE: Steemit Tips for Success: It's All a Numbers Game! (Part 3 of 3)
There's a concept relating to this that I have been thinking about a lot. Basically: The more a user posts, the bigger the short term rewards are, but it may limit the ability to earn the huge rewards of becoming a top Steemian.
my theory is that the more posts per day a user makes, the lower the average value per post gets - and the lower the biggest wins become. So a user posting 3 times a day may be happy because they average $10 per post and can triple their earnings in the short term. But in the long term, does frequent posting diminish the ability to earn $100+ per post?
Whereas a user who posts once per day will earn less in the short term - but maybe they are more likely to win the "big prize."
I use Steem to pay some of my bills, so its a balance for me between the short term and long term mindset. Right now I'm sticking to 1-2 posts a day for myself.
Have you noticed any patterns or have any ideas about this?
To be honest, I've not noticed this pattern (not saying it's not happening, of course!). The reason I suggest pumping out content is because Steemit isn't organized very well. Your feed (and everyone else's) is essentially content diarrhea...as soon as you post, there's probably hundreds of others that will post within minutes.
To get around that, I genuinely believe you have to play a numbers game. I'm trying to aim for at least three or four posts a day. If one of them gets hit by a whale, it makes it worthwhile. But only posting one decreases my probability of visibility.
That's just my thoughts on the matter...
