RE: Are you depressed and unsuccessful online? Then Join Steemit communities /Contests

in #success7 years ago

Prudent voting and commenting is the key. There's a temptation to follow everyone and comment on everything in a desperate attempt to leapfrog your account into the success bracket rather than laying some good, strong foundations first.

What a lot of people forget is that worthwhile followers will look over your blog to see if your content is any good or if the post that raised their interested was just a one-hit-wonder. If you've not worked hard and built up a good portfolio of posts only bots and people begging you for follow-backs and upvotes are likely to follow you.

You said it all @dickturpin ..an amazing comment indeed , upped and following you. You are correct . I noticed some members with large following however I noticed that the people are mostly folowing from 20K people meaning that it is a F4F scheme. I agree with your comment, thanks.

I'm not sure there's any hard and fast rule to get success and the other question, of course, is "What 'is' being a success on Steemit?" Is it an account that has thousands of dollars? Or millions of SP? Is it 100% reputation or four trillion followers?

For me, I'd like a high reputation and a high amount of SP so that my votes really make a difference to people. I suppose ultimately I'd like a good, strong, circle of Steemit friends that are not only supportive of me and the group we are in but for the whole Steemit community at large.

Oh god, I sound like Jono Bacon. CC: @steevc :-D

Good point, steem power is the key plus good reputation and real followers.

You've clearly described my thoughts on this.

I followed you if that helps? :-)

Thanks Peter. Good to connect with another Linux advocate!

Just don't ever say "Is this the year of the Linux desktop?" you'll be dead to me. Bwahahaha

Wow! You just put down in writing what goes on in many of our heads, I'm sure..

I repeat dickturpin's words, 'lay some good, strong foundations first'!
