Everyone knows that whale upvotes are a key factor for posts with high earnings.. Right?
However, whale upvotes are not the only thing that counts in terms of rewards.
So let's talk about rewards..
a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement.
That said, rewards can be things like:
- Upvotes
- Nice replies
- Feedback
- Prize money
Seriously though..
If any of the whales on steemit would visit your post and leave a comment with "nice article!" .. Without giving you an upvote.. How would that make you feel?
Perhaps something like this:
Most of us would feel the same way..
The thing is .. You shouldn't! - And why..?
Because if a whale drops by .. Then you've started to get some recognition at least.
That means you're on the map! - You're on to something!
- Just keep swimming and do your own thing!
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
The recent days .. Or perhaps ever since the beginning of steemit, I wouldn't know because I haven't been here that long.. There's been a bunch of new posts with complaints and misbelief.
Especially from authors who's already been paid a ton of cash for their previous content..
Most of them are talking about their earnings..
- They get hundreds of upvotes.
- They get a bunch of comments.
- The whales seems to miss their content.
- They earn just a few cents..
And here's the thing..
As they've been paid a great amount of money until now, for most of their content.. They started to get used to it.
That's why they're complaining now when they don't get the necessary upvotes!
Some of them have "upped their game", producing a bunch of posts each day.. Some of them have been writing long chapters from the "darkest hours" of their lifes.. All because of one thing.
THE MONEY
The sad part is..
That these people doesn't seem to understand that there's about 43,000 other users on steemit right now who doesn't earn a single cent.. And they've never had success on even one single post of theirs..
That's unfair!
I've been there myself too!
Yup. That's the thing. I believe I'm doing something good here. I share things and I've got lucky a few times with $300-$600 posts.. And that's the best thing that ever could have happen to me!
Since the day I got paid big.. I've been doing a bunch of posts.. Actually 20 or so..
And none of them have been higher than $100. MOST of them have been around $12.
THAT'S STILL MORE THAN WHAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MADE ON THEIR POSTS!
The key thing for me, is to build myself some reputation. I try to grow steemit. I try to contribute. I encourage my readers to discuss things. I've been writings articles elsewhere online to make people aware of steemit..
I know steemit is the next big thing so to speak and that's why I'm working my ass off..
I will share the details in an upcoming post of mine, so don't miss out!
Thank you for the opportunity!
