RE: Explaining Blogging and Crushing Your Dreams [for minnows] - FollowUp thoughts on heiditravels "10 Reasons Why Steemit is Ideal for Bloggers/Vloggers"
It's all about working hard. When you are on the bottom, you have to work harder at producing quality content to get seen through all the "give me upvotes cuz reasons" posts. I've had some winners, but mostly losers. It's a struggle for sure, but if people are serious about this then they need to make an actual go at it. I'm happy with my content. For the most part I feel like it has some substance to it. I cover as many things as I can muster to write about from erotica to my puppy pictures. Now, it is even harder because there is so much genuine garbage on the "New" tab that it is nearly impossible to get more than a couple upvotes from people who see you in passing. I just want to keep producing good content and keep seeing good content.
Anyway, that was my vent.
Cheers,
engagement goes a long way! Comment and hang out in the steemit chat groups. Also join "Peace, abundance, liberty" group in discord. Might get you some support. Always us the "minnowsunited" tag!
Engagement does go far. I was tooling around with discord. I got frustrated and just uninstalled the app. Thanks for the tip on minnowsunited tag.
I use the website for discord. You can let the bots upvote your content once day there. Might get you ~1$ though :P
It's the general chat where people hang out. You'll never know when someone with a bigger account takes interest in you.
I might give it a go again from my laptop and see what happens.
