Feeding the minnows! Leave me a comment and I'll give you an upvote.

in feedtheminnows •  8 years ago 

I'm just that kind of guy. I've done a couple of these giveaways in the past but it's been a couple of weeks. I'm not worth a whole lot of money but I can do something at least.

So as the title says, leave me a comment (preferably something more than just "Hi") and I'll upvote it!

You don't need to upvote this post, but I won't complain if you do.

upvoted! people like you always deserve a upvote and i'll follow too.

Thanks! Just trying to help the community aspect of the project.

I knew I followed you for a reason. Cheers!

Haha, whatever works!

A good idea! It is certainly interesting!

Thanks! I'll be doing more of these so keep an eye out!

Feed me...... ;)

Sure thing!

Cool cheers. Any chance of a dig out with my latest post?

Big ask iknow..

Sure thing, I'll swing over and check it out in a bit.

I upvoted you, but it isn't worth anything! But anyway, just wanted to chime in with a few words to say thank you for this gesture. Every little bit helps. May the kindness flow your way also.

Thanks! I don't mind if it's not worth anything. More votes makes the post more visible which in turn helps myself and others. Whatever amount of money gets made on this post will get powered up to make the next one that much better!

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't completely sure how it worked, although I realise upvotes are a good thing.

Yeah, both votes and comment activity have a metric that gets used towards ranking when you browse the feed. Lots of comments generate community engagement as well as momentum for higher rewards.

Great Karma!

The site has treated me pretty well so far and I want to help instill confidence in the users. I guess this is part of my limited ability to do so.

Cheers! And thank you for the idea for when I'm out of the minnow pool. :]

What's your favorite sound?

Oh, favorite sound? Probably either Cicadas chirping, night creature noises (frogs and crickets and stuff) or just the sound of "silence" which is more the sound of nature without human intervention distracting from it... so not as much silence but just the idea of listening to trees being rustled in the wind without the sound of cars and stuff distracting from it.

I would have to agree, that is my favorite sound to do anything to! I feel it helps the mind back into the rhythm of nature. Too much sound pollution is damaging to our health.

Thanks for sharing the wealth! :)

No problem. It's fun to work at getting a whale to upvote you, but in the meantime why not take grab some change?

Any advice on how to get a whale to notice you?

I've written several posts a day on different subjects for 3 weeks and not one of them has even cracked the $.50 mark... :(

Not really, sorry. Almost all of what I have was earned before the July fourth payout. I've only had one well paying post since then and it was a set of photos that grabbed the attention of @berniesanders. My holdings are probably as much interest as actual earnings.

No problem. I do have an unrelated question though.... I am having the most difficult time uploading pictures to my blog... any idea how to get pictures from my computer/phone onto a blog post?

You'll need to upload the photos/images to a hosting site first. I'd suggest SteemIMG.com. Once it's hosted on there you can grab the embed code from the image detail page and just put that inside the post. It should show up in the post automagically.

Thanks for the help! I was able to put out a post with my own pictures finally!

I think it's a dandy :)

Take a look and I won't be mad if you vote! ;) https://steemit.com/fishing/@jrcornel/river-monsters-in-gilbert-arizona

It is interesting!

Nice.

You seem to have this sussed out. Any hints or tips for a newbie.

Haha, thanks for the compliment (confidence?). I really don't have any tips. A lot of what I've earned has been just posting what I feel like posting and a couple of them have gotten me a reward. I haven't gotten into all the math of timing my posts for maximum curation rewards or anything. Best advice I can offer is be an active part of the community and don't shy from upvoting things that make you feel good.

that is great idea .

Thanks. I've done a couple of these in the past and it's always seemed appreciated. I just got lax with them for some reason. I'm going to try to get back on to doing these more. I think this place could be really awesome and I want to help show people how much I believe it.

that was a good plan and idea im happy to have u here :)

New to this crazy idea. Having fun trying to figure it all out.

Yeah, it's tough to get a full understanding as it's still young and a lot of changes happen quickly, but I think it will be very worth sticking with.

You just got my upvote because I can tell your an honest guy, cheers. :)

Haha, well I don't know how indicative this post would be of my honesty, but I like to believe I am anyway. Thanks.

I'll comment just because I appreciate the punny robsteady username

It's kind of a pun, but also representative of my love for the music genre from Jamaica called rocksteady. My name is Rob so I just swapped out a couple of letters to make the name.

A good thing to do!

I try. Thanks.

I like it )

I don't think many people wouldn't. ;-)

Great initiative @robsteady, keep up with the good work!

Thanks. I'll be trying to do these more regularly. Once the comments stop coming on the post I'll probably wait for my voting power to charge up and do another one.

Awesome...love your gesture :-)

Sorry it isn't worth more!

To have a heart that wants to share love with other is worth a lot :-)

You've got my vote, and a follow! Best of luck to you.

I loved that movie as a kid.

Super!

Duper!

Sure thing. Hungry minnow here ;)

BTW, great idea... something I might do as well once my upvote is worth a penny or more.

A few weeks ago I was worth something about .10 but my holdings percentage is apparently a bit smaller now. At least it's something!

Can you explain? Did you power down? Or is your upvote value tied to percent of total Steem Power in some way? Still learning how this whole thing works :)

To the best of my knowledge, the value of your vote is affected by your SP stake against the total Steem in circulation, so as more users earn my stake is smaller so my vote is worth less. I don't post a lot to earn, so my holdings don't increase as quickly as the total, therefor my stake shrinks.

Oh I see. So it's necessary to keep adding to Steem Power (by earning or buying) just to keep up on the upvote value. Gives it a bit more of a rat race feel, but good to know. So far I'm doing better, so I'm seeing my upvote value go up. It just cracked 0.001 cent yesterday.

Worth a shot! Thanks for the up vote :)

I'm serious about it. It's not worth much, but it's more than nothing!

I'm new but I'd like to help my fellow little minnow's too. Here's a video I came across that explains how this all works. Super informative, I think Steemit is going to be huge!!!! Good bye Facebook...

A very commendable action and attitude. You are upvoted and followed! I will do giveaways in the future myself,when I have let´s say ten times more than my current 26 SP.

Thank you. This is as much for me since I get concerned about "not making enough" on here. It's not supposed to be about that, it should be as much about the community.

Hmm? Free money? Count me in. But seriously, this is a really nice idea. A great way to build a positive community here.

That's the whole idea! :-)

This is a really cool thing for you to do. If you ever have tips on timing, etc to maximize the views and votes, I would appreciate it as well.
I am brand new today and just made my first post so I am hoping it will be encouraging

Sorry, I don't really have anything to offer on post timing tips or anything. I've barely made any money on my posts. Most of what I have is simply due to the fact that I've been a member since June and I've picked up a decent amount of interest.

Hope you enjoy the site. Don't get discouraged. Just keep engaging and it will pay off.

Well, I currently have 4 posts up and it is my first day. I have no intention of giving up. I will just post things I would normally post on other social media places so I am not out anything.

Feeding time for us minnows. Yippie!

nice to see that there are some generous people out there great post by the way

great idea !!

Follow me and check out my Earthquake updates! I just joined the community and I am bringing my social media value to Steemit instead of giving all my efforts away to Facebook. I am very excited about Steem!!

Welcome aboard!

Does this still work! Thanks. I enjoyed your Christiana anarchy post! Don't have to give to ceaser in anarchy!

Hi, I would love a vote on this post instead of a comment vote if you don't mind. I think we need to lift activity and activity lotto is the way. https://steemit.com/steem-ideas/@dennygalindo/steem-idea-ways-to-increase-active-users-activity-lotto

Okay, I upvoted and commented over there.
