Introducing #SharkSchool - How To Take Over The Trending Page By Being A Bloodthirsty Savage
yallapapi (62) in steemit • 11 hours ago
Alright people, so I'm not going to rehash the same shit I've gone over a million times. Okay, maybe just a little:
The Steemit system rewards users who purchase paid upvotes
Your content doesn't need to be good to hit the Trending page
Most content on the Trending page is shit
Most content that's NOT on the Trending page is also shit
New people don't put enough effort into their work here because they assume they will be rewarded with STEEM anyway because that's just how the platform is designed
They eventually get frustrated once they learn that virtually all exposure on here is purchased
Furthermore, there is a learning curve with the vote bots and most people will lose money while they learn
Meanwhile, the Trending page is full of poorly written posts that nobody reads
The common "wisdom" on this platform is that if you just try hard enough, someday you'll make it
People are encouraged to leave comments and "engage" with other users, which leads to 75% of comments being of the generic "great post" variety
Users who hit the Trending page don't put effort into their posts because they know they don't need to
Users who don't have enough money/balls to use voting bots don't put effort into their posts because they can't afford it
The result? A lot of shitty, low effort posts and comments that nobody is reading. Meanwhile, some whales are getting richer by super circle-jerking each other and self-voting their own posts. Nobody's happy.
Hail to the king, baby
So what's the solution? Simple: better content. Content is, and will always be, king of the internet.
Why do people use Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr or 4chan? Because they find those sites informative, entertaining or both. The difference between those platforms and Steemit is that they are sharing sites that [mostly] aggregate content, while Steemit is a blogging platform with an emphasis on original content.
The problem is that most of the content here is poorly formatted, uninteresting and full of spelling and grammar mistakes. People are assuming that the posts that earn big bucks on here do so because they're good. That's not the case. They make money because they're upvoted by powerful accounts.
Is this sustainable? I dunno. Seems to be working well so far.
However, I personally don't want to settle for "sustainable." I'd rather see this platform grow. More users means more eyes on my content, which means more upvotes, more business opportunities and ultimately more money - the reason we all have chosen this platform instead of another one.
I believe that if Steemit had an additional 20 high quality content creators who consistently made content that had the potential to go viral, this platform would get blown off the map. People would be sharing links on more established social media platforms that would point back here.
In addition to building the Google Juice of the site, it would also give users more direct traffic from massive social media sites like Reddit which aggregate content. That's good for everyone.
Drowning in a sea of unrealistic expectations
The problem with this site is that people come here with the wrong expectations. I know I did.
I came here and thought I'd make money just by posting whatever I wanted. It wasn't until later that I realized that the only way to get noticed was to pay for exposure. Now that people know who I am, it's a little easier. But you better believe that if I didn't promote this post, very few people would get the chance to read it.
Any given platform is nothing more than its content. This is especially true for Steemit because "stealing content" is a big no-no over here. Everyone has to come up with their own shit.
Statistically speaking, most people don't have any experience creating something designed to entertain. And when you can just buy some upvotes, what's your incentive to learn?
By contrast, look at Medium. Nobody is getting paid to write over there, yet the articles are of much higher quality than what you see here. Why? Because over there, people only write when they're inspired.
Now before you tell me that quality is subjective, let's define the term. For the purposes of this article, let's say that quality = well-written, properly formatted, grammar/spell-checked, entertaining/informative articles with clickbait headlines, a dash of copywriting, and a handful of paid upvotes.
Any way you slice it, there are very few posts on here that fit that tick all of those boxes.
We all want this platform to grow, don't we? How are we going to do that unless we venture outside the ecosystem? And we can't just promote some random Indonesian dude with bad grammar, writing about how happy he is to be on Steemit.
Normal people will see through it right away if they even bother to read it. Chances are that few of them will, because compared to the million other things they could be doing on the internet, it's not worth their time.
How to write good (and do other things good too)
So what I want to do is teach people how to write entertaining content that is shareable across platforms. I want to teach you how to profitably use upvote bots to get exposure on the Trending page. I want to teach you how to market yourself on Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and whatever other platform can give you traffic. I want to teach you how to write something interesting. I want to teach you how to write so well, that you can make something uninteresting seem interesting.
By doing this, not only do I establish myself as the leader of a group of increasingly talented writers, but I can effectively put people to work creating content that will help this platform grow. Not because I care about any of you or your well-being, but because what's good for @Steemit is good for 
And once you learn how to do what I do, my lovely circle-jerkers, it will be good for you too. You can market your business, promote yourself to brands as an influencer, or just make a little money on the side from upvote bots. We'll all grow the platform together by writing quality content and linking to it from outside sources.
If you're reading this, then I assume you want the same thing. Nobody is on here saying, "nah, fuck Steemit." No. You're here because you see the potential. Even if you don't understand how to make money yet, you see that some people are doing it and it gives you hope that it's at least possible.
Most sales training talks about making things a "win-win" for both buyer and seller. But if you've ever been part of a sales organization with commission-only salespeople, you'll know that it's a very predatory profession. Salespeople talk about making sales like they're talking about going into battle. When we go talk to customers, we refer to it as being "in the field."
Know who else says that? The military - another group of predators.
That said, it is true that both the seller and buyer need to benefit from the deal. The seller's job is to convince the buyer that the seller's product or service is worth more than the buyer's money.
Oftentimes, this requires advanced psychological tricks to remove the roadblocks in the buyer's mind. If the product or service is actually legitimate, most of the time it's in the buyer's best interest to purchase. That doesn't mean that they'll always choose to do so. It requires quick thinking and verbal finesse to convince them.
The reason I bring this up is that the fight for the Trending page is going to be the same way. I have my own idea about what it should look like. I want at least 50% of the first 20 posts on there to be by people who I have coached. I know how to keep readers entertained enough to read a 3000 word article, even when their original intent was just to skim it and leave a low-effort comment.
And I believe that if I can pass this knowledge onto other people on this platform, they can use it to create high value content that will be shared, hopefully go viral, and help the platform grow.
It's lonely at the top, but there's plenty of room
Right now, it's not hard for me to stand out on this platform because I can't think of a single person on here who writes like I do. It's easy for me to hog the spotlight now. And while it's a nice ego boost, I need to do what I always encourage other people to do: think bigger.
Yeah, I can write 2 posts per week and put them on the Trending page. Shit, I can even write 1 per day if I wanted to. I'm averaging a profit of around 100 Steem per post from my last 3 posts.
While that's tempting to think about, I'd rather think bigger than that. Writing a post every day and paying for upvotes is essentially the same as 
Or, I can coach a group of 20 potential new writers, grooming them to be the next batch of high quality content creators for this platform. I can directly influence a group of people who will be the Next Big Things on this platform. And by extension, other social platforms where our content will eventually spread as well.
So let's talk a little about the details. Here's some of the topics I'm going to cover in #sharkschool:
How to find your voice as a writer
How to keep the reader entertained
How to write long form articles even if you think you have nothing to say
How to completely eliminate writers block
How write a controversial post without alienating your readers
Books/programs that will improve your writing
How to format your posts so they "look pretty"
How to properly use upvote bots so you don't lose money
How to use resteem services to expose your post to everyone on Steemit
How to hit the Trending page with every single post
How to write something interesting even when you have nothing to talk about
How to promote your content on other websites
How to market yourself and build your brand
How to integrate multiple social platforms so they build on each other
How to improve your typing speed
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Will come up with a proper curriculum when I have time. I need to go over to 
Time to sell one of your livers
Sound good so far? Well let me give you some bad news: you're going to need some money to make this happen.
I'm not going to charge you, but you'll need money to upvote your posts. You'll need money for resteems. I would say about $100 SBD per post should do it. More if you can spare it. $150 would be better. $250 to be safe. So around $200 - $500 US. Keep in mind that this is money that you will get back in the form of SBD and SP after 7 days.
If you don't have that, I don't know what to tell you. You'll never hit the Trending page without your post getting those high value upvotes. Shit, maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen anything on there worth less than triple digits. I don't have the Steemit algorithm in front of me, but I doubt there's a way to circumvent that.
I suppose you can still tag along for the ride anyway, but that's only going to get you so far. There are millions of good writers out there. Can you name them? No. Know why? Because they don't know how to promote themselves. That's probably the most important part of what I'll teach you.
Not because you're going to make a lot of money from Steemit. Get that out of your mind right now, because it's not gonna happen.
In fact, let me make it very clear: you're never going to make a full-time income from your author rewards. It will never, ever, ever, EVER in a billion years happen just by producing content.
Sure, you may get lucky here and there with a few upvotes from some high value accounts in addition to what you earn from the vote bots. But unless you're happy to eat hardboiled eggs and oatmeal for every meal, then it's not enough to live on.
No more livers? You can also pay with souls
If you want to participate, you have to look past the short term rewards that you'll get from your posts. The real value here comes from being a part of a group that will dominate the Trending page of the biggest blockchain-based content platform in the world. Do you realize how powerful that is?
You'll be building a rep on a platform that will someday be extremely attractive for advertisers. Make a name for yourself now, learn how to hold someone's attention for 10 minutes, and familiarize yourself with cost-effective marketing strategies - then you'll be in a good place when this platform goes mainstream.
If you want to sign up, leave me a comment and tell me what you're most interested in learning. I'll post the first lesson tomorrow.
Good luck.

No, dude.
You're doing it wrong.
This post is an infomercial. It's paid programming. It's the shit we'd see on late night television and it's sitting here in the primetime slot because you're exploiting a flaw in the design of this platform.
Regardless of the content, if there are twenty more people following your sales pitch here, this page will only get worse. Twenty more infomercials in the primetime slots only appeal to the people who do not understand the fact they are reading unmarked advertisements and being misled. Twenty more assholes bumping the actual regular content that typically drives these markets towards success down so they can replace it with misleading advertisements and low quality posts like this one of yours will be detrimental to the platform.
Many people who worked hard to gain traction here, who produce great stuff, are now being bumped down and replaced by assholes like you.
Do people share the advertisement that comes BEFORE the Youtube video or do they share the actual video? The answer to that is so goddamn obvious yet you're sitting here telling people that content consumers will start doing the opposite.
The moment this platform starts taking advertising like this seriously and starts doing it properly is the moment we will see a trending page that appeals to a much wider audience.
If you go look at Youtube, you will see a trending page. Now, just imagine what would happen to that platform if all of those content producers who worked hard to get where they're at got bumped down and replaced with paid programming and other forms of advertising like this post of yours. Those content producers would quit and not because they're weak failures who lack balls like you say. People quit so they can go find something better. That outcome is what you're encouraging here, yet you say you want the place to thrive. That doesn't make sense.
You do not know what you're talking about but because you paid for this primetime slot, people listen. False advertising like this post of yours is the devil, little waterboy, and you should know better.
This post should be thrown into the promotion pile and I will not be voting for this trash for the same reasons I do not pay Walmart for leaving a flyer in my mailbox.
Do you really think what you're doing will go viral simply because you "write this way?" This post and many more of yours only appeal to a select few on Steemit and the information you're presenting will be irrelevant within months if not weeks.
Let's look at the entertainment industry again. Do people collect Walmart flyers and advertisements or do they collect comic books?
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. This post is junk and I burn flyers when I feel like starting a fire.

Absolutely great post
Thanks for the insights and for speaking the truth! The truth bloody hurts, and I've felt that here too! No point in bullshitting folk is there?
I was introduced to Steemit in January by an online friend and You-Tuber who I'd wrote some music for his videos. He said all of the usual 'you'll make loads of money from your music' etc etc! But I didn't! I was completely deflated like a double airbed within a week of being here, and I CAN actually write decent content and produce original music.
So, I'm now in my 3rd month, on my 2nd account after my original account was hacked by some robbing bastards! I was supported by a fantastic bunch of helpies who created me a new account. My music was heard by the right people, and I now make some SBD every week from my music posts. It's been a real eye opener here but, I totally agree with your point about the importance of up-voting your own content to get 'Some eyes on it' cos, you know what guys? 'Money talks and bullshit walks'
So I echo what you are saying to the new users here!
Even if you can only afford to chuck 5 or 10 SBD at a bot to upvote your post DO IT! Because you won't make it here if you're not willing to invest in your own content!
Just make it good content though eh people, and try to comment on others posts with some worth and intelligence 🧠
Cheers for your post
Darren

I logged in as usual with my master password and found that after a few minutes, when I returned to my laptop, I couldn't log in... My SBD had been transferred to another account and they had started to power down my SP.
I now only login using my private posting key.

You can make it here without investing in your own content, I suggest.
That can happen. Or rather it will happen.
Because the system is proof of brain; either proof of brain works, or the value crashes or stays down, it seems, among other things, that's why @Dan left.
It will happen, or the value of the token will plummet. (Hopefully it doesn't. This is a great project.)
Many users, I suggest, like me, can buy votes ... but won't. (Indeed, didn't invest.)
I personally want to know if the system can work on proof of brain. There's no mining. It's proof of brain and voting. The security and value of the system depends on content being able to replace mining. If the proof of brain doesn't work by itself, or rather, if everyone has to be an investor, not just a proper fraction people, the system will fail.
Because mainstream institutional investors have far more money and will take over the platform directly, or consensus will fill form that proof of brain isn't sufficient o replace mining. @Dan has already written that mining has some advantages.
And content needs to improve, also, simply because trending is all most people see. Serious people don't play game and they will go to Youtube and Shitbook, even tho such places basically double as surveillance platforms. They seek interesting things, respectable things. Not all Youtube is tide pod eatery.
I like to say, ``What needs to happen, will happen.'' Probably. Or it won't.
Systems change under pressure of their own constraints.
I've written something like this comment when somebody else (

There are many interesting articles written by people who live in different cultures that I find much more interesting than you. Errors and all.

The trending page is full of garbage that no one ever reads or only reads because of money (Pakistanis I mean).
So hell yeah, lets do the #SharkSchool thingy. I have a reputation on here which I have earned without actively using votebots & resteem services.
I wonder what it will look like using those. Anyway, I will still keep tabs coz I wanna know the other stuffs you said about marketing and creating a brand.

I've been mostly lurking here on steemit for about 6 months. I have big plans but I have been to unmotivated to actually take action and start posting content for fear of failure. That changed yesterday when I read your https://steemit.com/steemit/@yallapapi/mmmm-yeah-baby-put-it-in-my-reward-pool article. I felt motivated, and committed, to actually making my first welcome post. That will happen today, watch for it please.

I've made one low quality post in the past, trying to make money/test how votebots work. But unfortunately I did only succeeded in testing.... I lost money on that post. Please help me by providing more insight on to effectively use votebots. I checked your wallet history and noticed you spent about 375 SBD on this post and made note what bots you used.
For someone, who is not confident enough to put up 750$ to promote my post would you sudgest more resteem bots to gain exposure? I don't really expect to make it to the trending page with a small wallet like mine. Most I will spend promoting my content currently would be about 50 SBD. But if I don't lose money my confidence to put more and money into promoting myself will increase.

To think that I read this very long post(something I never actually do) and laughed in some parts, had some A-ha moments at some point and a Wow or so a few times is worth giving the #sharkschool a go.
I was reading and following intently with hopes that there'll be a link somewhere in the post that'll take me straight to the school.
I mean, I almost couldn't wait to start scooping from your well of knowledge.
Please I'm so in for this baby....
I'm freaking tired of being a little fish who just for no reason has refused to grow.
Thanks so much for this initiative.

As a mere scrub, I've noticed the only way to make money on Steemit is to do the following -
Find one of the newb info guides on Steemit 'etiquette' and then do exactly the opposite to everything it recommends.
That seems to be working for all the people that make serious money here, anyone following the 'rules' is getting dick.

Lol what's up with the random images in those lines that get increasingly random toward the end?
I don't have SBDs for promoting my posts cuz I'm dirt poor, though that won't stop me from making epic shiz.
I feel you know a lot about marketing things after I read one of your posts where you say how people can scale their earnings on Steemit by using ads, writing a book (haejin's example) and whatnot.
That made me go wow; seeing a transparent technique/method for increasing our earnings right in front of my eyes.
So I'll surely be following your future shark school posts!

The problem with Steemit is, that there is no incentive to flag bad content.
Everyone just praises shit content on the trending page in the hope of getting a big upvote from the author (which, of course, they never get).

I'm new here but I have not understood any of the best posts here, and no one is worth it here. You are right to say that this is the main objective of selling votes here and many people are facing great harm without knowing it.
Thank you so much for this that you've posted this with a bold step

okay...let me gather my thoughts. So you're saying in order to get the ripest tomatoes, I should actually be peeing directly onto the seed during planting?
oooh, poop. Sorry, it was a long post and sometimes I get distracted and make up my own stoorrr.....oh wow, 810 views. Do you think that gum has gotten too minty?
Sh*t. Did it again. Oh yes...how to put your hand up the ass of Steemit and work it like a puppet!..that twas the topic.
What can I say that you already didn't?...one of the most useful posts I've read to date. I also like the confident self-awareness of knowing that few, if any people, write as well as you on here. Keep up the great work, Champ! lol.

The writers like you need the steemit community. By doing so you can succeed in providing us very good information. I am proud that I am part of this society. I read every article you need. And indeed I responded very much to you and your articles.
I know you can climb the highest mountains. Never lose faith in yourself. Good luck!

Hallelujah! Finally! I joined Steem not nessecary for the money, not gonna lie, it would be great if I could make money from it becasue my content is appreciated. But there is so much bad content on the platform that it's hard to find like-minded people who write about the same interests like you do so you can learn from each other.
As most thing in my life, I put a lot of time and effort in it because I don't want to create shit quality which lasts forever on the blockchain.

Steemit isn't going to amount to anything at this rate, and I doubt that it ever will, but dammit do I hope that your vision comes true! I appreciate your honest analysis of all the scummy activity happening on this site. I really want to make quality content here, but I probably won't amount to anything since I don't have money to spare. Idk, you guys can check out my page if you're interested and hopefully you'll find something worth your time. Peace my guy!

I stopped reading your shit when I came "Right now, it's not hard for me to stand out on this platform because I can't think of a single person on here who writes like I do. It's easy for me to hog the spotlight now. And while it's a nice ego boost, I need to do what I always encourage other people to do: think bigger." I think your shit doesn't hit me so much, I believe my own writing, without taking others shit into my head is better and I don't care if my writing is trending or not, I keep posting my own thoughts, experiences and shit smell only I feel comfortable with. Anyway, thanks for some good tips!

Oh I'm following you now so I learn everything you said you will post abt. Your previous topics are insightful too.
I used to take this site seriously but yeah getting those big whale upvotes are probably gonna be rare. Just being Curied once or twice encouraged me to write quality posts but then when I didn't get any more upvotes from them I was like heck I'll be on another site and make it to the top there then maybe I'll come back here again.
So I did make it and reached the top spot there but now am still not too psyched to make it here. Don't have enough to use bots sooo maybe I will do it in a few months. Who knows
