RE: Steemit for Newbs Chapter 4: Niche Be Gone - Getting Started
Another interesting article. Well done!
"Quality is more important than quantity no matter what!"
Yes, I have realised this is the case here. I also agree with your posting habits. I tend to limit myself to a maximum of 3 posts a day for a number of reasons:
- I don't want to post for the sake of posting;
- I don't want to exhaust my posting ideas quicker than they arrive;
- I don't want to overload other people's feeds with constant posting; no one likes to be spammed;
- If we post too much, we'll deplete our followers voting power very fast.
It's all about finding a good balance.
So far, posting once or twice per day, at least 5 times a week, has been working fine for me. This way, I am managing to keep my Voting Power above 85% at all times... and I don't tire other people with too much posts.
Keep up with the good work.
Glad you're enjoying it! I admit to taking a quick break this morning so that I could share some artwork instead. I normally schedule two posts a day right now - with the occasional #3 for the odd contest - like today, I'll have three to get the Pay-it-Forward entry done.
I had to reduce my autovotes last week so that I could recover my VP. But Pay-it-Forward day always depletes it a bit - especially when I find posts that are really good, but either they have too high a rep to qualify or they don't have enough text. (I've got several bloggers on my "watch" list for future weeks.) I just try to keep my VP at my full 0.02 - when it drops below that, I limit it to self-votes, the auto-votes, or things I need to upvote in order to post on Discord. It's been a long time since I was at 0 SBD, thankfully!
I saw one person this morning - I even used to follow them. Dozens and dozens of posts every single day - they've designated themselves the news provider of Steemit, I guess. Unsurprisingly, their Rep is 2. (Almost surprised it's positive at all) and they're on at least one blacklist.
