Yesterday I had reached out for help in the community just to reinforce my position that it's hard being a minnow. I wasnt exactly complaining, but I felt that there is little to no rewards when you put in a lot of time into an article that has good content.
IT CAN LITERALLY BE LOST IN THE STREAM.
You can get follower after follower and no response even to good articles. Steemians might have benefitted and upvoted but they have very little influence or Steem Power.
Then something happened , #whaleshares gave me the boost I needed to see that you can get rewards when you complain in a dignified manner.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a guru or a whale. I'm just here to tell you fellow minnows that you should share your passions. Join Discord and get some pointers. You might even get a little boost that you need. Also don't rack your brain. Some people do want a quick post or update in what's going on in your life.
You like my Garden?! The tomatoes will be ready in about a month. I'll take a picture when they are plump.
Just testing my iphone 7 camera! I found major improvements in the focus.
Don't be afraid to voice your opinion. There is division in the world, but you can be respectful about it. You CAN and SHOULD be yourself.
I do believe in the old saying, "what goes around, comes around." If we do good to others, others do good to us. There is so much wrong in our world today, every right thing that we do can go a long way. It may not be politically correct to be nice and friendly, but it is still the right and good thing do to!
Anyways I hope this was helpful to the minnows reading. I'm expecting a cool 10 cents for my efforts , and I won't complain.
When I'm a whale, I will pay it forward.
Steem On!
