RE: May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Fifteen: How Many Posts Per Day Do You Write? Why?
Well, now that I'm actually mentioned in your post... :)
Thanks for the shout out. I feel the need to point out it's more of a Grandpa Gotta Eat thing than it is a Grandpa Gets To Eat. Although, I suppose I could change it. :)
I think where you're at now, you could publish more if you could get to it, and it would probably benefit you. Before, as you saw, publishing four or so posts didn't really help.
There's guidance given, I think in the Steemit etiquette compilation posts, to comment and upvote most, and then maybe post once a day, at best, until people know who you are. I wonder how many of us really follow that? I've only been doing it for the last nine weeks because of the engagement league. Meaning, a significant amount of commenting and curating versus the amount of posts. Maybe by the end of June I'll reevaluate that strategy.
Most people when I was starting recommended posting as much as you can as the cents added up but I don't know it was not working for me because when I tried at least once a day with a quality post it yielded better results with a curie or ocd gracing me with their presence.
Ahhahaha sorry Glen if I made the wrong title to your series.
Since they gave the option to stop being paid for comments, I've been contemplating doing it as an experiment to see if I might actually get more engagement. Right now, it's kind of a courtesy to do that, and I wonder how many people are avoiding it because they don't have enough SP to spread their votes around.
As it is, the value of comments aren't in the rewards you can get. It's in the engagement and the opportunities talking to others can provide. If gentlebot shows up randomly and drops some rewards, cool, then the comment becomes something. Otherwise, we're always fighting the dust threshold, and even more so than posts, not all comments are worth the same.
