RE: Is it true you only earn for 7 days after posting and nothing after?
The real currency on this platform is followers. As time goes by, and people become more selective about who they follow, the quality of your previous work will become a more important factor in their decision.
I was just curious in your experience can a new user get hundreds of upvotes on a post or is it necessary to build a pretty large following before something can really gain some momentum?
No, not at all. If you hit the right nerve and tone at the right moment, you can collect hundreds of upvotes and thousands of dollars.
You only need to be resteemed by someone who has a lot of followers, and suddenly you're in front of a lot more eyeballs.
I see followers as lotto tickets.
You might win with only one, but you're better off with 500 :)
Hey buddy thanks for chiming in. That makes sense and I love the lotto ticket analogy. I guess it's kind of like Youtube in the sense that while having followers does buy you more tickets as in with the lotto analogy, a post itself is at least one ticket and every video has a chance to go viral or pickup steem for lack of a better word.
I remember early in my Youtube career, actually I wasn't even really a Youtuber just made a few videos for the hell of it but at the time I was getting like 6 to 8 views per video. Probably 4-5 of which were my own continually refreshing and watching my own content lol, but one particular video really took off. To date it has 1.5 Million views but at the time I think I even joked in the video "if even 10,000 people watch this" which was a far stretch at that time, and here we are a couple years later and it's 1.5 Million so I thought that was kind of funny. You never know what's going to take off and oddly enough the stuff we think will do best often doesn't and the stuff we don't think that much of will often surprise us and do really well.
True. My biggest post to date was a quasi defence of a porn starlet who'd arrived and upset the apple cart.
I merely explained that she was the vanguard of an inevitable force; and that we should be grateful to deal with one, polite, compliant, pleasant representative; and look for opportunities to set precedents with her, which would set the tone for future dealings with the adult industry.
Our big advantage is that we're here so early.
You're big on YouTube compared to most, but there are thousands of Youtubers who would laugh at your numbers.
Here we have the first mover advantage. We can grow with the platform; and make no mistake, it will grow :)
Actually, 55,000 is pretty great.
My biggest concern with YouTube is how they're demonetizing accounts, almost arbitrarily.
Nobody can do that here :)
Hi guys. I am here for only one week. What is the real tactics? Should the posts be quality or just acceptable, or the junk in high quantity? Ok... I got about 40 followers, I enjoy posting but am I doing something wrong? https://steemit.com/@alexs1320
If you want to grab a few dollars and leave, then junk.
If you want to build a huge following and become a massive influence who curates professionally, then go with quality.
May you share your stats with me. For example, how much time you needed to reach 100, 500, 1000 followers? I see that you are roughly getting 4-5 followers per day and about 0.5 follower per post. With that in mind, I find my stats ok, right?
