RE: Why did I stop posting on Steemit (and why you should not)
Welcome back to Steemit @anikanam! Looking forward to your next inspiring post. It's true that even one upvote is better than nothing, but I have a dilemma about this. Sometimes I think it's better to post less, after working on a good content and post something you are really proud of. Then, I think to myself I can't exactly know what people will like, what is going to get attention and people will find value in. Cuz sometimes posts that I work on for almost all day gets not attention at all. So, it might be better to post more often, like everyday or one in 2days? I don't know! I can't make a desicion about this. What do you think about it?
Thank you @birdlover, I totally understand what you are talking about, I think we all here have the same questions and doubts. What to write about, how to get attention to posts we work hard on. It also happened to me to write a big post about a topic I am really into and to get almost 0 attention. It is always disappointing. To avoid this thing I try to imagine who can be interested in the content and to choose the time for posting, according to my followers' timezones. For example, if the post might be interesting for people living in Europe, imagine what time european people might be the most present on Steemit. Or if you post a content on different language, before posting look what time it is in the country of this language. It doesn't work for all posts, because we often create content which is not specifically designated for one country or for one continent. As for the frequency of posting, just like you I don't have the right answer. I read about 4 posts per day but I just don't have enough time to create a high quality content for 4 posts per day:) It will probably come with more experience. Here we are back to the idea that we have to keep going, to get this experience and to write more, better and faster. I am sure, we are on the right way. Thanks again for your feedback, it is very precious. Keep in touch😉
Wow such a long and inclusive answer! Thank you for taking your time! I think the best answer is to give people what would you want to see and be interested, and never give up as you said. It can be really frustrating not to get rewards for hard work. Sorry to hear that. I guess all steemians go through this phase. However, I believe our followers will increase each day, we will have new comers who appreciate the hard work and engaging style like you created in this post. It's the best thing I love about steemit. You can feel so close to people you don't know, and share your ideas honestly, sincerely. Thank you for your advice as well, I make sure to check the time in USA which most of the steemians are from. It's quite different from Turkey's timezone and I mostly write my posts after 2 am! But it's good I was already a night owl :) Yes, let's keep in touch @anikanam! I appreciate your detailed and sincere answer, hope to talk to you soon :)
