It's not about upvotes !
In this video I shared my opinion about how to grow in steem.
Of course as always, you need to watch it to understand what I mean.
The thing I can say is that the views are important in 3sepak and I learned what I shared in the video from the platform.
I hope those tips will help you to grow and improve.
Enjoy watching. ☺

What you say makes a great deal of sense. Promoting the DAPPs available on Steem as well as the individual Tribes does make a big difference!
We don't promote the Internet now do we? Nor does YouTubeTM or FacebookTM. YouTubeTM and other social media sites, as well as their users, promote their application.
In the same way, it is a good idea to promote the decentralized applications available on the STEEM Blockchain and the Communities/Tribes as well as promoting ones self.
Most people use more than one application on the internet, e.g., InstagramTM, FacebookTM, GoogleTM, TwitterTM, etc. Likewise, STEEM has a number of DAPPs.
Maybe we get Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump using some of the DAPPS available. Now that would get some eyes on our blockchain! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course, we should promote anything built on steem. I hope all the dapps goes viral and more and more people will join steem. Tribes also may help, I just wish we will have SMT's soon and they will all move there as well. I think steem-engine has a lot of things to fix. We need to make sure that all those tribes will work perfectly, just like steem does. I also don't understand why the upvotes their are going so fast lower and lower. Is that because they have bigger inflation ? In steem our upvotes are not go lower so fast. I'm a kind of orca in sportstalk for example, and I'm staking there 168,000 sport power and my vote just about 2 month ago was about 3,000 and now it's getting about 300 and it will go lower soon. I'm staking that in @dcooperation and delegating that to @alexshumsky. I don't know if that's the case in all tribes or only in sport, but I think it's the same for all tribes what make me wonder.
I hold a good stake od SPORTS too. I think I am Understanding that as the price of the token increase, the upvote amount will have to decrease to avoid inflation.
2 months ago, 1 SPORTS was valued at 0.0006 STEEM. But now, SPORTS have grown to 0.0015 Steem.

So, that's a big priblem of those tokens. Seeing the price decreasing so fast, it's hard to make people trust in the system and to stake more.
Many of the Tribe based tokens are being burned in order to increase their value. At least that is the theory as rarity of a token could make it more valuable, if there is a demand.
The two SCOT (Smart Contract Organizational Token) I believe will be great in onboarding a great many new users is @sportstalksocial and @steemleo both of which are burning a great many of their SCOTs (tokens). Right now as, I write this comment, @sportstalksocial is ranked at #22 on State of the DApps. It is the only SCOT-based Tribe I could find.
The simple task of SCOT-based Tribes listing their DAPPS (Decentralized Applications) on State of the DApps would help their community and the reputation of the blockchain as a whole. As I perceived you were trying to get across in your video... promote the content and the DAPP!
There is a great deal of STEEM and SBD Coin on various exchanges external of the blockchain being speculated on. Anyone including J. P. Morgan, FacebookTM, and Alphabet, Inc. (GoogleTM, YouTubeTM). The activity on these external exchanges (e.g., Bittrex; Poloniex, which is owned by Goldman Sachs-backed payments company Circle; Binance; Changelly, etc.) has a big effect on STEEM price, but of course you probably already know this (I have a bad habit of stating the obvious. I am not trying to be condescending as I barely know what I am talking about most times. Then again; someone who does not know these things might be reading this comment). Not much can be done about that situation. Anyone can buy and trade STEEM or SBD Coins.
Here is an idea for one of your next VLOGs on @3speak regarding SCOT and DAPPs (you are a much better speaker than me and of more well known). STEEM loyalists probably won't like this one and it is not an original idea. It is already happening with the likes of @steemmonsters aka #splinterlands (use STEEM and TRON), @dtube (use STEEM and Avalon), and @drugwars (use STEEM and DWD, used to have Future coin I think, well whatever), @spl (SCORUM and STEEM) why not market our blockchain to existing successful DAPPS that are not already here and why limit it to DAPPs how about targeting Apps/Websites? @rt-international (Ruptly), @lukewearechange, @coingecko are already here! Big names on the internet for sure! As you said, promote the content!
Shoot, FacebookTM among many other companies is reinventing the wheel. Bring them and they will bring their folks. Remember back when @jerrybanfield joined and brought all his YouTubeTM/UdemyTM folks? Hey, whatever works and yes, many of us are still here (another thing to get mad at Jerry about. At least in my case).
There is no doubt that the creators of #steem-engine and SCOT have lit a fire under @steemit to get the SMT (Smart Media Token) thing going with the introduction of the SCOT DAPPs and the introduction of the #steem-engine SCOT internal exchange on the STEEM Blockchain.
Which will be better, SMT or the existing SCOT based Tribes? Will they co-exist happily? Will we all work together to come up with a marketing strategy? Like most things regarding STEEM, the foregoing questions are way above my paygrade. Just my thoughts. Just because I share them does not mean that I think I know everything. Even I am not that crazy!
@clixmoney, Traffic is external aspect and definitely to bring more value we have to promote our Steem Posts in External World so that it can bring more traffic to Steem Interfaces. Keep up the good work and stay blessed.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, the traffic is the most important thing we need to care about. If just every single active steemian will do something about that and try to expose steem to the world, we will see the big effect and that will be for sure huge.
Absolutely true.

Pity I can't watch videos my connection is too slow :(

I'm sorry about that.
Me too ☹
Let me explain since you're still interested. I just said in the video that we have to try to bring traffic to steem from outside steem, that's what 3speak is doing for creators. It make us worry about the views, because the more views we will have, the higher our ranking will be. The top 30 creators are getting good rewards, I'm now the top 13 after doing a very hard work by promoting my videos outside steem and getting almost 4000 views for my videos.
So, I said in the video if people just understand that steem is not about upvotes, but about the traffic that you bring from outside, everyone will be happy. We are the new adopters and we are all building everything here, so not the upvotes are the most immportant, but the value that we bring to the chain.
I hope I explained everything now in the comment. That's why I create videos. I can say in one minute or two everything I wanted to say, instead of wasting an hour writing. Especially for non native speakers, it's much harder to write, especially for those like me who are trying to not make mistakes.
You need better internet to watch videos. Sometimes when I don't have it home, I go to cafeteria or places where I can find better internet, that's why I'm always online. lol
I am always online too in my whole area there is no better internet. If you would read one of my posts you would know how far I drive and how much I invest to be oine, to connect to others. There is no provider in this country that can give me that connection.
The two internet cafes we had are gone they can not give it to you, even the bank has trouble.
Thanks for explaining.
I assume only the views count if it comes to videos? I wonder how a non native speaker can understand them, at least text can be translated.
I understand it is easier for you to speak instead of writing. That might be the case for me as well since I am a mobile blogger only. Just mobile phone nothing else.
Great to hear you made it that far. 👍
I wish you a great day and thanks again for explaining and answering. I saved the link so hope to be able to watch it ones.
Have a great Sunday 💕
It is very true, 3speak to provide rewards to those who speak of the them and spread the word to the outside world. Nothing wrong with it, it is absolutely agreeable. My time being very less on 3speak and other Steem websites but, I saw people (some of them) posting crap and expecting 3speak and other community members to provide the them those lovely rewards, huh ??? nops !!! Not gonna get it, Firstly the content has to make sense has to have "ORIGINALITY", a review is also original content, Secondly you should spread the word about your created contents and encourage other to join this brilliant platform. Thirdly Upvotes is instrument to identify your interest and way of expression (that's what I think). Lets see how it works for me, when I create my own videos. Cheers all Steemians.
@fitinfun perhaps you can watch this?
@wakeupkitty - No I cannot watch videos even when my wifi is not acting up. not enough gigs each month.
@fitinfun That is a pity, well he told/wrote what it is about. You don't have places with free wifi there?
Happy Sunday and a good start into the next week ❤️
