Hello everyone, I'm here again..
So thanks to you guys who after reading my Introductory post, decided to follow and support me with upvotes.. I am highly grateful.
As I opined in my recent post here. I have been perusing through the four walls of steemit and just last night, I stumbled upon this interesting contest that's organized by a user
After reading about a couple of terminologies and instances on the steemit platform, I just thought I can actually relate a whole lot with the theme of the contest Which has to do with the headline of this post. What would you do if you were a steemit whale?
Earlier when I made an intro post I did that with great enthusiasm. However after 1-2 days or thereabout, It dawned on me that steemit was not something I envisioned it to be. I got the wrong impression when people were introducing it to me. Again I swiftly moved to do some background findings about the platform and I came across the terms; Vote power and whaleshares.
Okay immediately I started thinking "oh, this is a sea or an ocean of some sort after all) hahaha
Then I learned that the profit you get from a like is determined by the voting power possessed by that user. Again I thought "hell yeah? Little wonder my first post looked devastating to me judging from the quantum likes I got) OMG! πππ These guys decieved me!!!
Until finally I stumbled on this post by My God that was a whole lot!!! And Whale wars? What was that?!!! π±π±π± Did they crush the minnows? Haha! Or did steemit crumble as a result of the riot? Oh Lord, I want the full gist please!!! π€π€π€
Now back to the topic though forgive my childishness. The post by yeah? (Btw I followed her ASAP) I learned alot from that post alone at well the from other posts I read after hers. Therefore, I wish to participate in the contests!!! Please if you don't mind
? Lol ππππ
If I were to be a whale on steemit
See post π Β© contest post by
Hmmmm. If I were a steemit whale, I hunt down all other whales and take over the 'reward pool'!!! (Hahaha Just kidding oh ππ)
Okay seriously I would make sure I share likes around. I mean likes that worth something highly especially to the new comers. Now I mean it when I said that. I will concentrate in helping the newbies grow because it can be very difficult being a newbie trust me. (And Because I am one myself π€·π€·π€·)
Newbies struggle in great hardship and loneliness cos when you make post and get no comment nor feedback at all from other users simply because you got minor followers and nobody wants to comment when they know you can't 'reward' their comments with dollars whatsoever. Being a newbie is very traumatizing. I felt disappointed after my first post. Too many likes and comment with no dollars accompanying it. Oh lord! Are these upvotes really genuine? Hahaha...
If I were a whale, I will concentrate on the these two major tags: #introducemyself, #introduceyourself. Why? I believe you know that already. To encourage newcomers of course!!!
It's easier to start admonishing newbies with words like "persistent", "hardwork" and all. Always easier said than done really because those doesn't count anymore. (I know because my friend is facing the same predicament) lol
Now that's pretty much it. Encouraging the newbies will be my watchword as a steemit whale. I hope you can make a sense out of this post really. Pardon my amateur writing skills. I thought steemit was a place I could share my pictures in peace not knowing I was wrong. Now I am made to start learning the art of creativewriting. Well then, thanks and see you around!
