Reciprocal Resteeming: How Newbies Can Help Each Other To Get Publicity
It is not news that getting more eyes to view your post is one way to increase its chances of being upvoted. Upvote means earning and earnings means money.
May newbies or minowns may have a difficult time getting noticed in steemit initially and thus many of their posts do not end up getting the expected earnings.
Presently
One of the ways to counter this is to seek for a whale who will upvote or resteem articles posted by newbies. However, as nice as this sounds, it may often be a herculean task getting a whale to offer this type of help for the numerous newbies coming into steemit right now.
In all honesty and sincerity, many whales here are trying, but they are constrained!!! The reason is simple; they are outnumbered.
There are way fewer ratio of whales to newbies as a result of massive influx of people into steemit so you cannot really blame the whales. They have constraint in the number of post they can resteem per day otherwise, they may end up wearing their followers.
It is also important to note that the whales have areas of blogging interest. So assisting every newbie that come their way through resteeming will mean compromising on the type of post they are known for. This is bearing in mind that their followers know and followed them for a particular type of post they make.
When you put all the above into view, you will understand the challenges of being a whale in steemit right now.
Proposal and Way Out
Newbies can consider making friends of fellow newbies. That is following fellow newbies for the purpose of helping each other to surmount this obstacle.
When you consider that every newbie makes different friends and different fellowership, when they follow each other, they combine these followership for the purpose in question.
Newbies can consider an agreed reciprocal resteeming of each other's post as a way out. By this, daily one newbie will discuss with another and agree on at least two post to resteem amongst themselves. E.g. Mr A resteeems two post from Mr B and Mr B reciprocates by doing same for Mr A.
This will go along way to increase their mutual exposure to the steemit community and reduce the frustration often accompanying poor visibility of posts from such class of steemians.
