"Dear Dawne - Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure"
Season 1 - Episode 7
We Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" To Help You Directly!
(Also Newbie Nickels Added Again This Week!)
General Topic: Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure
Let's talk about visibility, exposure, gaining a following, making connections... or whatever other phrase you think about.
In the last few weeks I have reviewed MANY pages by newbies and members of the #newbieresteemday initiative.
This post by @terminallyill, is a tutorial on how to use the esteem app and was live two days ago and while it has some great images with a step-by-step process and is a great quality post, it only has 12 Upvotes and 31 views. @terminallyill used perfect tags for this post but his visibility wasn't noticed.
But why? His reputation is 44. He has 361 followers and he interacts with with other members. He replies to comments. He goes around steemit commenting and Upvoting. So what's the problem? Why are most of his posts earning so little (with the exception of a few)- most are earning under $1 when payout time comes around. Hmmmm....
My first question would be... what Discord groups do you belong to? Any curation groups? If not... JOIN them. RUN! This is the easiest way to get more visibility. Post promote your links, make sure you follow the group's rules when post promoting too.
@bashadow is offering some great incentives on his page. He's offering to help a new steemian in this post. Granted this post is about 24 hours old and he's had about eight comments, 15 Upvotes and 51 views on the post, but why is it only earning $1.74. @bashadow is giving of himself in this post. So why isn't he getting more comments or people accepting his help?
Hmmm... what could be the problem? He has a reputation of 55, so he's not too new to the platform. He has almost 700 followers. He's using his time on steemit so wisely. He's had good payouts in the past.
We all have posts that don't pay out a lot and that's ok. If you read in the comments, he did offer help to one steemian reaching out to him. This was the eighth post of this topic and @bashadow is continuing to do the newbieresteem weekly posts. Why? Because he is being consistent. He knows new steemians will find his page and his posts; with the end result being he will help someone this week, then maybe two or three next, perhaps five the following week. He is building his following, making his brand with this post title and people will be seeking him out. He is making it happen and one day it will all pay off for him.
Being consistent, being visible, promoting your work and making sure you are answering your comments are just a few ways you need to be there for your following; and for building a following.
Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)
Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.
First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.
How To Get Your Newbie Nickel TODAY ONLY On This Post
#1 Leave a comment to Dawne on this post. It must be a question directed at her asking for her help, or it must be a relevant observation to her topic of the day.
#2 If you leave a comment and Dawne responds, you can earn a "bonus" Newbie Nickel for a relevant additional comment to her. Note: that is (2) Newbie Nickels just by engaging Dawne and following up respectfully with her replies!
#3 Resteem this post and tell me about it in the comment section and I will give you a 1 Newbie Nickel for that! You must leave a comment to me (@davemccoy) so that @goldendawne only focuses on her discussions.
Got it? You can earn up to (3) Newbie Nickels today just by engaging in thoughtful and engaging dialogue!
When: Today!!!
We are proud to present the news that #newbieresteemday and @goldendawne have teamed up in a partnership called "Dear Dawne". @goldendawne is an accomplished member of our community and she wants to help both the members of the Newbie Resteen Initiative and alse the "newbies" we serve.
Dawne will be regularly participating with us in a program called "Dear Dawne" where she will take comments, look directly at your posts and give you one on one suggestions, (and she will even go through your blog... How's that for being awesome!). Basically she wants to be your mentor and help you with ideas, formatting, access to resources, and even applying for various grants and delegations. Plus you can get "discovered" by a valued and connected member than can help you rise through the ranks!
Quick Facts About Dawne
In just the last two months, Dawne has:
- Become the writer & staff member for @qurator (which if you dont know about it, you should)
- Been delegated 10k SP from a whale- she is a Stewards of Gondor recipient
- Holds weekly, sometimes daily, contests to share the delegation she was awarded and given
- She is a mentor in certain Discord groups and helps incoming new members with formatting, posts and how to succeed
In the mentor program she is involved in... she says "the best reward is knowing and watching the people you partnered up with have their own steemit page and posts blossom and grow".
She is the real deal.
To read more about Dawne check out her past post: Personal Mentoring Statement For Homesteadersonline Community or just go to her steemit page @goldendawne an see the quality of her work and the connections she has.
How It Will Work
"Dear Dawne" will be available to help you individually today. She will answer questions, she will offer advice, she will even direct you to the right place if you don't know how to find something on Steemit. This is your chance to connect with a "60" Reputation Steemian on an individual and personal basis.
She is available to give you guidance and help in just a few hours. You just ask your questions to her in the comment section. Its that simple. She will read the comment section and reply individually with you and decide how best to help you from there.
Hello @davemccoy
I really appreciate your effort. You are always committed in helping the newbies. It is not an easy task to climb the ladder of success in this community without the help of steemians like you. I just #resteemed this post.
Dear #Dawne
Your effort towards keeping this community growing is greatly appreciated.
I observed that some posts get lot of upvote automatically even without much view. How do they do it?
Also,what is the best way to get great visibility for my posts with upvotes?
Thanks

Thanks @goldendawn for helping me to throw lights on my questions. I will put these into practice.

The UPvotes are coming in through auto-vote bots. If you have a post that only has 10 views but 15 UPvotes then it is that some of the people UPvoting are using a bot. This means they have it set up to automatically UPvote certain people's posts. They either know this person is writing quality content, want to be supportive and do not want to miss a post.
I have found the best way to become visible honestly was to join Discord groups and communities and be active. I belong to about a dozen Discord groups, am active daily in about six of them and comment, post promote.
Also... one thing I notice... if you comment on someone's post and they comment back, they are more likely to go to your page and perhaps comment on one of your posts. The more you do this, the more traffic comes to your page and posts. People are here for interaction so you have to use this to your advantage.

Thank you @funkylove... You are my fellow #coolsteward and I will never forget that our paths are linked by @coolguy123... Its always nice to see you comment and I always appreciate your insight! I agree with you about the task of climbing here, that's why we are focusing on this aspect. I think if we can work with people in those first few weeks, we can help shape the platform in a positive and lasting way.
Me and you both were able to rise above during those few weeks, and I would like to find ways to make 100s if not 1000s of #coolstewards to follow in our path!
Thank you for stopping by and I will let @goldendawne give you here expert advice!

This is just an opinion, I have not been following you long. I have only heard good things about you when mentioned though.
Myself I have problems at times of where to put a vote. The limitation on the votes you can do I think is essential. This limits users to a voting max of 10 votes per day possibly 11, or your voting power will keep going down not having the time to replenish.
I also like to only vote four posts at a time and wait a few hours before voting again, Unsure but I feel this gives a slightly stronger vote when I do.
I also use probably half my votes up-voting myself trying to get that extra vote for myself and possibly a reward. Those who comment in my blog or reply to comments I have made I also like to up vote where I can.
Between the self vote and the vote on replies to me, I trap myself at times with nothing left to vote with or my voting power will decrease faster then I can accumulate.
In the past week or so I have only began to expand/change where my voting goes, This is down to reading comments like your own and @simplymike @Spiritualmax @ilyastarar also my steem power has built some and I feel I am beginning to grow, more of my votes then I give to myself as the need for voting for myself is deminishing as I grow. 1 vote for myself now is like 2.5 votes I needed a month ago.
You and those I mentioned are a positive influence on myself and I am guessing many others.

I don't know if this will help you or not @brayias but this post from @simplymike, highlights 4 ways to get an early vote slider- - - https://steemit.com/mapsters/@simplymike/4-ways-to-be-able-to-use-the-voting-slider-even-if-you-have-only-1sp - - - - Also steemworld.org has a manual vote slider, my self or a couple of the others can help with that if you need help.

Steemworld is my go-to page. I have it open daily and use it often throughout my steemit work.
I stopped UPvoting myself months ago... why? Just my personal preference. I have no issue with it, but I would rather UPvote another member and make connections that way then use (at the time) limited UPvotes for me. But againm this is my personal preference.
I know you can get the slider bar from busy.org before you reach the 500SP mark. Maybe check into that.

Thank you @goldendawne! I use Steemworld thus far only for the Manual Vote. I really like it because even though my vote isnt worth much, I can spread encouragement around to more people if I am not Upvoting @ 100%. As for Upvoting myself, I am not certain if I did that and if I did, that was inadvertent - not something I will be doing deliberately.
Like I said to @bashadow, my only challenge with the manual vote slider is that I cannot figure out how to use it for comments. On posts I have no trouble

I didn’t know about a manual voting slider on Steemworld. I’ll need to check that out.
To be honest, I’ve been using the site for months, but it wasn’t until last week that I found some tutorials by @steemchiller that showed me a bit of the real potential of that site. :0)

Hey @brayias, first thank you for coming here and giving such a thoughtful comment! It is important to express yourself more than anything here on steemit. I understand your points about voting and that is something that we all go through. I'm glad you are giving it consideration because it is how you will learn what works best for you!
The things you will weigh as you continue to grow here on steemit, is how you plan on growing and what methods will you use. Most people don't plan, they just do a little of everything. You seem like a planner, so I will be glad to assist you with ideas.
To give you the higher view and break it down broadly, you can grow by maiximizing every available tool for yourself to use (which there are many more productive ways that just upvoting yourself)... or you can grow by growing your network of friends and followers and helping them to grow with you. (this way looks at the deepness and wideness of the relationships as a measuring stick for success). And of course you can do both if you are a superstar.
The reason I bring this up is that you can focus on a strategy to fit your individual style. There is no "right" way to do things, there are just many tools you can use to accomplish your goals here.
If you are interested, please let me know and I will be glad to either assist you myself if I can or point you in the right direction!
Thanks for stopping by and for making a great comment!

Hello @Davemcmcoy,
For been a planner, I am not so sure, I come prepared with a decent amount of ad-lib. I am definitely a Dreamer, dreams they can begin anywhere tho, unlike the reality where something must have a beginning. I am just taking my first steps in a dream right now. The world is changing in many ways and will change in ways we cannot foresee. Some changes are already happening as seen with Crypto and now I see with my introduction to the Steemit platform.
On my own morals, I cannot buy votes, so the use of bots to gain an advantage I avoid unless they are offered free.
I do not use other formats of blogging or Twitter at the moment and will be a while before I would begin to use. I see the advantages of but I would prefer to learn a bit more about Steemit before expanding. Within Steemit, I am not chasing followers, Well I am but not in a hurry to find a massive audience.
My strategy right now is aligning myself with people like yourself, Following you, commenting on your posts, should I have a view not expressed, possibly at times speaking in a manner of opposition to the view stated. I do not do so in a negative manner but more to show or state something which I have not observed but came to mind. @simplymike started this line of action for me inadvertently. Not all your comment I will post a reply to. some will be beyond my thinking, others, where I see an opinion from me, would not do anything for the post or opinion. I see yourself and other users I have mentioned in other posts above, as mentors to the community in a positive way. while you gain from the upvotes to your comments you all have contributed back with the sharing of your votes not to mention the obvious knowledge you share. I waffled on there a bit. Open minded people who are willing to contribute in some form are my target audience.
I want to take back the world.
Where I could use some help, is in the creation of a blog list.
I believe strongly! there is a need for greater equality and now is a pivoting point where we can begin to introduce different methods to achieve these positive goals.
A blog list to create would provide a roadmap in a sequence which I could write on and the topics could follow each other.
For this, I would have to discuss in detail with yourself or any other who might show interest in picking my brain. If you chose a platform to use with a faster communication it would make it much easier on my part at least.
This is @brayias the account is logged in and the key code thing has been painted a lovely tree :) once the software can no longer be upgraded the account will not be usable. I still use it to play poker freerolls with to try boost the Steem I can have with the winnings.

wow... @jan23com that is a comment!!! Awesome! You have several issues in there for me to address and some I don't fully understand.
First, let me say that I am thankful for the time it took you to send the message. And I am appreciative that you pay me a compliment saying that I contribute to the community.
Also I want to point out that it is perfectly fine with me for people to disagree. I don't believe in "groupthink" and I encourage all views (even more so when they are meant to be constructive!) So fire away anytime, I always like the truth as you see it!
Regarding your strategy, I am a bit unclear, but I do get the point you are not looking for gimmicks and want real interaction with real people. Did I get this right?
I know you asked my help about creating a "blog list"... I will be happy to help if I understand what you want clearly... Do you want a list of the people that I think are "real" and "create value" ie @simplymike?
You can contact me on discord at anytime at davemccoy#2479... If you aren't on discord, then let me know and I will send you an invite link. I would be thrilled to discuss your concepts deeper!
I want to take back this world too... While I understand it might not happen in my lifetime, that doesn't mean that I shouldn't do my part. The reason I originally stayed here and was my original motivation, was exactly that mission. Since I've been here though a funny thing happened, I made friends. Now I must admit that I am equally motivated to help them here as much as I was originally to change the world.
I think the last point about your account is that this is a new account for @brayias... I don't know why you switched, because I don't understand the comment about the software can no longer be upgraded. But it makes no difference to me. I make connections with people not accounts... ;)
I will either see you on discord or hopefully a reply back here for me to send you the server link.
I hope you have a fantastic day and it is great to connect to someone who is as thorough as you are! :)

@davemccoy I have complied and resteemed the post. Not for the nickel, nor the fact you mentioned me, but because it is a valuable post. It is often easy to overlook good quality and helpful post. I try to get to our post promo box at least once a day, and also on IFC post promo box. I do wish people would just put post there and not chat, but it does get confusing sometimes in discord where people are, so it really isn't a big problem.
A little bit more for our newbie members and for new users, there is a lot on the NewbieDiscord chat than meets the eye, along with Dear Dawne, there is a post feedback drop box put up by @penderis. If you do not want to avail yourself of Dawne, because you just have a quicky question, or do not want to distract her from helping others, or just want someone else to take a look at a post you made. @jorlauski, wanted a Team response, so both @lynncoyle1 and myself, since we were there responded.
We really need to get daz or someone to do a real nice post on our discord chat room, there is so much new stuff there, even I have missed some of it. Well I think maybe I did earn that nickle. have a good evening all, or morning.

@davemccoy, there is soooo much going on all of the time, it's hard to #1 keep it all together, and #2 have enough voting power to hit everyone up.
I know consistency is key, and eventually, we'll all be in a position to have more power to upvote etc. , but it really does take time...and patience. There is soooo many good quality posts on here; I could spend 24 hours a day looking, and I'd still find more. And as you both know, I spend plenty of time on here as it is :)

This is such a wonderful initiative @davemccoy and @goldendawne! It's like a "Minnow 911" service! You are both two remarkable humans and Steemians! Your brain and heart would have a tough competition if they were to compete with each other!
I do have a question regarding the value of posts. I am understanding what makes the value of a post increase. But what makes the value of a post DECREASE? I don't pay close attention to the "money" (as in life - sigh), but I happened to notice on a couple posts, a reduction in value. Why/how is this?
Thanks again to both of you for all you do here! Of course Upvoting and Resteeming

The amount of reward for your post can decrease for 3 main reasons.
2a. The reverse of this is also true. If the price of STEEM rises, your SBDs will increase but the amount of invested STEEM you receive decreases.
If only 20 accounts have been active for the last week that have but all of a sudden we have an increase in user activity to 35 accounts; we still have the same reward pool to share but have added another 15 people to spread it out across. All shares will be less especially if the 15 accounts that have started to vote have a large SP holding.

Hello- thanks for the question. I don;t think you sounded too preachy in this post but I believe you should have tied it all together.
You could have done this...
"While sitting here Today I am enjoying a hot cup of Catahoula coffee called Butkus.
They are a local company here in California and reflecting on these Bible verses- Daniel chapter 6. versus 1-3.
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom as an hundred and twenty thousand princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
2 And over these three presidents; of whom David was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel showed his excellent spirit. Let us do the same everyday within or without the lions den.
You had two different topics in this post but no bridge to connect the two. When you were enjoying your coffee were you thinking about the bible verses you shared? If so, then above is how I would have posted it.

Thank you so much. I wrote it on a whim. I know what you mean. I will do better next for sure as I will put some time into it. Great analysis.
I am grateful for your help. :)

@davemccoy. Hello fellow truffle :) I have just been going through the list of truffles to see if there were any I liked. I thought this would be 'in the spirit of things' and it looks like it has paid off. This is a fantastic project and very helpful. I have re-steemed your post to play-along but also because it is ace! There are some great post in the truffle list, please help them out because it is hard to get ahead on steemit. ( you obviously know this already, otherwise you wouldn't have written the post.)
Dear Dawne,
I have been here since aug2017 and if it wasn't for @familyprotection(and a bit of perseverance, I must admit) I would have earned next-to-nothing.
I am similar to the second example you gave(600 followers/rank59) That seems a good status, but up until recently I would get very little for a post not tagged with @familyprotection. I put just as much effort into these post as I do with @fp, but the payouts are poor considering others get $$$ for posting a picture or short quote. This isn't envy(well maybe a bot ;), because I have really begun to enjoy blogging. My punctuation is terrible but I try as hard as I can with that. I try to make up for my mistakes with content and using the markdown tool as much as possible. Have a great tutorial for markdown in this link, by @gmuxxx. I have just found the @mspwaves broadcast and it is tied to @minnowsupport. As @fp have been so generous to me and @canadian-coconut helps run the PAL discord group, I thought it right to give back an delegate so of my sp to @minnowsupport. That was only a couple of days ago but I have reaped the benefits. The people there are a great bunch and it caused me to have a very late night listening to the @mspwaves. I would advise anyone to join this community and support these great steemians.
What I would like to ask you, #dawne, is: How do I post moving gifs or images and where can I source them from. I think that I read that they do not appear on the preview but will appear when you post the article. I've not tried it because I lost track of the tutorial. 2nd question is: Can you direct me to anymore good discord channels/groups?
Thank you so much for making this kind of post it helps people like me, a lot!!! I am no good with computers but I am learning fast. See you around some time :)

Hey @article61... Its awesome to see you stop by here! You are welcome anytime and its great to hear the nice words. I will also go to the truffle list and pay you the same courtesy! I will let @goldendawne answer the question you posed to her, but thank you very much for the visit!

Thank you very much, sir. And credit where it is due, so you are more than welcome. I am writing up a thank you post(do one every now and then) and I will certainly give you both a mention. You help make this site unique.

Thank you for the kind words... I am both honored and flattered by them! Please let me know if you do write that post. It is hard for me to see anything in my feed, so I ask (if you can) to just drop a link to any of my posts. I want to see it and to make sure it gets the proper attention!
Also I did stop by the truffle list and I like it. I had a convo with @beeyou already and we have some ideas of things we can do to support that program too!!!
Have a great day and I look forward to your article @article61 :)

Hi @article61, fellow Truffles alumni. One of my posts made it on there too, and as it happened, it was a thank you post. :) Nice meeting you! I'm part of the #newbieresteemday initiative with @davemccoy.
I like the AI logic of truffles and it is a great way to highlight minnows. Unfortunately, what is estimated by truffles does not occur for many of us. My post was estimated around 38 or so but made it to 2 I think. I do like the idea behind it but the problem is many of these posts will never get the exposure to the right people to make it up there. I know @davemccoy says he has a plan. Will be interesting to see another one of his plans.

Hey @beeyou if you get a chance, could you wrap that amazing brain around how they determine what a post will go to? You are far more intelligent than me on algorithms and general computer geek things :P ... And I stress, "when you get a chance" because it is something that can wait a couple of weeks. My plan is a little longer on this one than most of them, so I don't want to take you off of you engagmentfest and distract you tonight! You have many people to delight with your charming personality (including me :D ), but I wanted to mention this before I forget it! ;)

My powerful brain cells may not be able to delve into this one. I took a peek at truffles master's post when truffles stopped by my page. It's Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, and that is above my intelligence level. The concept is in using past high-paid posts as 'training material' for the bot to identify similar posts that are live on steemit.
Some of the things looked at are:
'I used some features that encode the style of the posts, such as number of paragraphs, average words per sentence, or spelling mistakes.'
An estimation is then calculated.
I don't think social factors are used in the consideration, like who you know and what circle of friends you may have, bid-bots used, etc, etc.
That's about all I can say on this one. Python is programming, and that's more Andy's expertise.

Hello @beeyou and thanks for the msg. This idea has really given me faith about where this website is heading. I have written a post about this very issue tonight and I have given this project a huge mention. The work done her is so honourable and forms the spine of this website(Or is it the heart?).
Hopefully see you around.

You have to be active first off. Secondly I would recommend joining some curating and post-promotion Discord groups. Thesteemengine is a good one that I belong to and there are some VERY active members there.
I know you said you were gone for a short time, so you may have flown under the radar of your following now. You need to make a post as soon as you're able to to let them know you're back and give them an update about maybe what things you'll be posting about; giving them a sneak peek may have them watching for you again.

Thank-you @davemccoy and when I get better at this computer interaction I will surely have reread this as also others of yours. Since I just keep plugging along trying to get my posts up in a very full day, and reply to replies, and look for newbies, it seems that possibly others do read some of my comments and replies. How do I know¿ Since my disagreement with logic@ about robots, I have increased my followers m, so either my posts are of interest or my position that robots ''just run programs'' and are NOT interlocutors, therefore should not earn the same $ as human members. I don't believe that they should post to Anyone any more than -this is similar content, please explain¿- then the rest of any discussion should be from the 'similar content' postee to the robot's driver and vice versa, in FULL view of the rest of the community,and not of on a side site that who knows if it's public, or viewed or hidden? I have no intention to attempt to go looking for appeal to prove my innocence. The robot driver IS guilty of reducing my reputation, without asking me anything or any discussion. Just arbitrarily not opening any dialogue but copy/paste on every single post of mine since they decided to call me names. Very non-community bias. I do understand that robots are very good at finding similarities, but that is NOT a community judgement against that postee. If some call my excerts spam, they haven't read them. They are excerts. Not whole. They are all from an encyclopedia rotten 'by the people, for the people,' over 85 years ago. They were posted in Remembrance of WW1 veterans who raised me, and not one person who has not liked them has said they have No veterans in their families if a war that us not yet 100 years ago. I'm told the owner of cheetah@ spent over $300 setting that bot up. So what, says I. It found for me a connection that showed me the name and designation of my very old notes I was grateful. The reference it found was from 1884. There is nil plagiarism of an encyclopedia from 134 years ago. That reference is, if one actually reads it, very sus'. The 'gentleman' implies GE wrote or collated it, and dies not mention his spice it his Publisher. The source is the People of the Empire of Great Britain and her territories,who were invited Abd gifted their information to the Publisher Herbert Jenkins Ltd, who by the way, went out of business before WW2., so steemcleaners and cheetah, whomever their drivers are is completely out of line and in my opinion, taking money off steemit under false conditions. I have spent over fifty years fighting bullies, and bullying is the forerunner of terrorism. We, the whole community, need to stop robots being used in a communicative manner within the community of humans. They ate good for what they ate good for, but all ibtercommunicatikn should be by Named people. Hiding, is an attribute if bullies, and therefore terrorism in the making. Innocent until proven guilty, is our way of life. I've invited these drivers of robots to stand forth and write their piece for all to see, but they message me copy/paste daily to go to some other site. I am not a computer trained person at all. I am lucky I had a kid here to set me up on steemit. I am not going away to a hidden agenda to argue. Spam every day on my posts. A robotic moronic post implying I am not worth reading. They are not interlocutors, robots just run programs. If driver of cheetah@ is taking a masters or phd, then they need to learn to communicate like a person. May the blessings be. 😇
Sorry for vent.
Resteemed your post. 😉
