RE: Real Followers much?
Wow I was just pondering that.... wonder if I should go through and unfollow those 2000 people i started following just for their follow back. or if I should go through and check each and keep the ones I like
Yes. You follow me and I follow you back won't get you the money.
It is content that will make you money. Although what you really want is to make the best content you can really write. Even if you only make $0.02 off a blog of yours. If every blog you make is good, of interest, uplifting or funny, sooner or later the whales will find you.
Also make sure that your title is the best you can come up with to hook the reader of the feeds. The most important are the title and the first sentence. As those will be seen in your thumbnail feeds. Think of it as your advertising. Whales are looking at it. It may be the only thing they see of you. Be consistent.
If someone does follow you check their content. If you like what you read follow. We all have stories inside of us. Sometimes I will go back decades to find a memory of interest then write about it.
If you have no pictures then use Pexels.com or Pixabay.com and find pictures are similar to what you are writing about.
Also look at others content. Up vote the ones that you like and give a sincere detailed comment.
When commenting on others content think of your comment as a mini blog. To me this comment I am leaving is like a mini blog. Later if I want I might take this comment/mini blog and write a blog based on it. Plus it is good practice for me as we are all in a race.
Steemit is very young. We have to work hard now so in a year from now we will have whales discovering us. Remember if your content is there then sooner or later the whales will find you.
The insight is deep in this one. lol yes it is a Yoda reference . These words are inspiring. to me. I was hopeful when I joined and I am taking this seriously not because of money....I have a lot going for myself I have built a career and reputation. But I wanted this to add to Mychildren when I can no longer provide for them to leave them something. I wanted to use my introverted thoughts to reach others and help others. I have so many reasons but I know the more money a post makes the more people see it and the more people it reaches. so the money for my children and the positive messages for the masses . My part in the balance! Thanks for you post definite follow
