My funny experiences with Steemit while promoting Bitfilm of the Day.
My first day in our new venture Bitfilm of the Day leaves me a bit puzzled. We cannot complain about the feedback. I wrote a guest post on and gave an interview to
. Thanks, KNosaki and Tony, for the great support!
These two posts plus our "introduceyourself" on and a short piece I wrote on my own account together received 471 upvotes (at the time of writing) which are worth about 208 Dollars. That's awesome - thanks to everyone who upvoted!
Yet the post that contains the film has only received 16 votes worth 41 Cents so far!
(Update: this has changed significantly, maybe because of this post?)
This makes me wonder where that big discrepance may come from. The reactions in the comments to our competition in all posts have been overwhelmingly positive.
I also can't believe that people do not like the first film Over Time. I think it's a great piece of art and it has won numerous awards around the world.
Didn't we make our message clear enough? It's nice to get all that attention for the promotion, but it's the post with the film that collects the votes and the money for the film makers.
Is success on Steemit really only a matter of luck or of close personal relations to some whales, as some critics say? I don't think so, but I have still no clue why some things work out great and some things don't.
What can we do better? Any ideas from your side?
