ALWAYS make sure to reply to people who comment on your posts and your comments Sometimes I think "connections" with some great steemians is lost because people don't always do follow-up.
Keep the conversation and interaction going.
Golden, just like your name.
You are correct, I immediately know people just commented for upvotes if they don't keep the conversation going (when that makes sense).
Added to the list, thank you for the resteem!
You're welcome!
I have noticed I will reply then maybe four days later I get a comment back... by then I have moved on and figure the person isn't completely dedicated to steemit. But when you have someone who responds within a certain time, you can make a great connection.
Exactly, there is a lot of fake on Steemit.
Steem contains a lot of ass kissing because people are afraid to discuss or argue because they are afraid to lose money.
I have realized that you can use this as a tactic to get more upvotes because you say what others are afraid to say. You will get some downvotes and sometimes it will be completely ignored.
But sometimes you can make pretty good money with em.
I have checked out your blog and I like that you post about your life. Too many people are afraid to do that.
Consider me a regular commenter from now on.
Thank you
It felt good to get it out in the open. I'm usually a fairly private person, but some days you just "gotta do what ya gotta do".
I came on steemit with the "open-eyed" expectation of having a platform to blog and write; the steem is an added bonus. I believe the "drive-by" votes and comments are useless and have no bearing on the platform. Those who follow that mentality will soon see it is pointless and either leave (opening the door to more dedicated writers and bloggers) or they will transform or morph into the contributors steemit was created to support.
In regards to the "drive-by" UPvotes- people who faithfully follow an active steemit contributor that puts out GOOD content do automatic UPvotes. I don't want to lump the auto-UPvotes with the follow me-follow you people. They are two TOTALLY different members. Auto UPvotes make sense to me. I don't do them because I am a 'reader' and like to learn and expand knowledge whenever possible.
Agree.
These people will go back to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or whatever waste of time crying that Steemit is a scam.
This is why I have no problem with bots. Yes, even shit content will get upvotes but people will ignore your post or they will downvote it so it does not make a difference at all.
You either write high-quality content and comments or you don't.
You have posted around 2 posts average since August 24. That is quite impressive.
I am seeing quite some hustling ladies here on Steem lately. @FitinFun and @mariannewest put a lot of work into their blogs as well, you should check them out and connect with each other, maybe you get along just fine.
I'm actually already following both of those ladies.
@mariannewest is an awesome member who writes GREAT content.
I'm a newer follower of @Fitforfun. I think I started following last week.
But it's always nice to get referrals!
Yes, thank you. I may not be seeing a pay off UPvote wise for my posts, but I am dedicated and persistent!
Goldenlady. You have to use @Minnowbooster if you want to close the gap between Minnow and Whale.
If you need an explanation of how that works you shall meet me in the chat. If you want that I just need your yes and then I will contact you.
But make sure to always upvote good content! People hate seing crappy content that is upvoted.
And that can be fatal because the people have the power here.
I wish my upvotes were worth more, you seem to be one of the Steemians that take this platform serious.
