DTube: When Dan Larimer And Ned Scott Upvoted My Content

One of the best ways to lit the fire inside your audience is to talk about the things they like. - Hive account@surfermarly

While most people believe that it's important to talk about their own fields of interest, I don't think that this is the best strategy to get started on Steemit.

At least it wasn't my strategy.

There was one event that probably proved me right: there was a point of time when both Dan Larimer and Ned Scott started to upvote some of my articles. I felt that this was kind of an accolade in the beginnings of my Steemit career.

Today I'd like to reveal the blogging strategy I had in my earlier days on Steemit: Just click on the image above to watch the vlog on Dtube. If you can't open it on Dtube, here's the YouTube version:

Now here's the famous I mentioned in my video - the one that Hive account@dan and Hive account@ned upvoted a bit more than a year ago:

Ego vs. Ego-Strength: TIL why a 'healthy ego' is essential to our success and happiness.

It was published on the 27th of December 2016 when the TIL-tag (TIL = Today I learned) was very popular among steemians. I loved writing blog posts in the TIL-section, which was loaded of knowledge and interesting stories. Once people discovered that this tag was well paid, everybody started to use it for whatever piece of content - and it's primary intention (to spread knowledge) got somehow lost.

Maybe that little sidekick perfectly shows how the dynamic in this eco-system works. Whenever a certain field of interest becomes lucrative, people start to invade and exploid it in an unhealthy way. Then the segment starts losing its attraction and the rewards begin to decrease.

For the majority of people it really seems to be challenging to not go crazy on the money and rather pretend to grow their blogs in a smooth and healthy way instead.

Remember:

Constant dripping wears away the stone.

Best, Marly -
