Friday Thoughts That Might Help You

in greetersguild •  6 years ago 

I have covered some topics that I run across and also that I have encountered and had some trouble with myself . I am opened to any topic and if you have any let me know . Everyone has to find what works for them . The thing that works for me not might not work for you . People all over this platform and others can tell you what they have done and were successful with it . But the reality of the success they have accomplished has so many factors that it's impossible to have a one shoe fits all (so to speak).

Examples would be , When . The timing that they performed the action that would have an impact . Who followed them or crossed paths with or who they followed . The content of their post and who it interest at the right time . Who if any mentors they have . Did they receive a Curie award or any other . All these thing come into play with a whole lot more .

There is a point that will get you over the hill where reward comes equal to or greater than the effort . I can only assume and that place in my opinion is somewhere between superuser Minnow and Dolphin . (1 MV-10 MV) . That's just a guess and will vary between individuals . Effort will always have a part in any reward .

I have a habit and it is part of my problem solving technique . As a result I break things down into their simplest form . In another words I look at what steps do I need to achieve to getting over the hill problem of effort and reward return . The first step is to get to 500 SP . Without that everything stops . Now the question or problem is no longer reaching the problem of effort and reward return . It becomes How do I reach 500 SP . Then it is broken down further and eliminates the big problem into manageable issues .

Not that Getting to 500 SP is not easy . It is in My opinion the hardest thing to achieve here on Steemit . But once that door opens it opens so many other doors to success . The question is for the most part the biggest you will face to make it happen .

I look at it as a competition . As more and more people enter the platform the harder and harder it will become . There are only so many votes to be cast . The number of posts will increase giving your posts more and more competition to compete for the same votes . The people with the votes will have more and more posts and comments to choose from . This is a good time to be involved in Steemit . The opportunity is there . It will take work , consistency but most of all a commitment on yours and my part . I can tell you one thing for sure . In two years I will not have to make the statement " I should have ".

I just had a brief discussion on how I like Eeyore earlier .

Attitude is very important . It can and does have an effect on our ability to progress even here on Steemit . In earlier post I addressed expectation . Having Goals that one cannot reach or extremely difficult ones can have an effect on one's attitude resulting in missed opportunities .

Its Friday afternoon here and in some places saturday morning is fast approaching so I will leave you with this > if you read nothing else in the post below read this part at least Some Helpful Resources to Grow Your Account

I just posted my half victory/half rant post and left out this part so it wouldn't be to overly rant.

There is a point that will get you over the hill where reward comes equal to or greater than the effort .

This is not guaranteed. There was a post I commented on where another user had made a comment that indicated they still weren't getting much traction. This user (no need to name names) is closing in on 70 and has well over 500 sp. Out of curiosity, I went to their blog feed to investigate. True to their claims, their posts receive little vote love. Looking further into it, I saw that this person does not upvote comments on their posts. Never. I have to say I am amazed at some of the folks I am coming across here. No shit their account is getting no traction despite their SP and rep.

Attitude and may I add humanity are key. I appreciate these posts. When you are done with them you should compile them into an Epub and offer to give them away for free. I am probably going to self pub a book on Steemit at some point ( I was going to right after joining but became disillusioned briefly) and use it for a funnel both to Steemit and hopefully my account.

@practicalthought I do believe that there is a correlation between voting on comments and follows . It is impossible to vote on every comment . so you can only do what you can do . at a minimum comments should be replied to

thanks man @wolfhart for the thought... it helps me alot most for the fact that you never stop to support community thank you 🙏

@adeoyesteem Thank you : Supporting the community is very important to me

Yes very true its so much work to get to that first step of 500 sp. I never know what blog will do better then the next, so i sometimes jump from what i really want to blog about to see what kind of reaction it gets. But i still always go back to my passion bc i think that my followers look for the themes i said i was about. Lol i try to not get discouraged, but it can be at times when u work so hard to make a good post and it doesnt get noticed.

@aloha-creations Getting discharge can occur . I have very low I mean low expectation . Don't get me wrong I do have goals here and have set them . My time frame is also set but I have added 25% to it . So when I achieve them not only is it a surprise but a good feeling . I guess it all depends on how you look at things

Without doubt an inspirational write up..For an active steemien it must be easy to understand the GOAL must be 500 SP...Attitude or precisely positive attitude with I WILL ACHIEVE IT is must...Along with that dedication too is necessary

But how...that is the main question...I would be happy if someone will throw light on. It doesnt mean that someone should work on behalf of me..But what I am expecting is some tips to achieve it...

Thanks for this post and Stay Blessed

@angelro Thank you my intent is to be positive but without any hype .
The how is something I am struggling because my how will not fit all and there is the possibility that someone might be hurt by it . Either because it just doesn't fit for them or I am misunderstood . I have to think on this for awhile and I do have some info that will or can't hurt and I will put it out .
Thank you for the feedback your question is and I take it very seriously and sincere

That is what the positive attitude....Thanks for it....Yes you are true....The method of HOW may change from person to person...But that doesnt deter you from sharing it if you feels so. If it may acceptable for even one person it is worth...

What I realized is there are more negative news are spreading for the sake of posting and may a bad intention for earning through it (Read this latest by @@@thedarkhorse.

So why you are worrying about...Go ahead...

Thank you and Stay blessed

@angelro I read @thedarkhorse post when he post it , Thanks

I'll put something out later today , Just woke up have to get some thoughts together . Thanks

Thanks for the positive mention of the Engagement Leagues @wolfhart :D

@abh12345 The league has a huge positive impact on the community as a hole . it also does wonders for the individual . Newbies can gain a lot of information about the platform and make a couple new friends . I was extremely pleased to see @paulag Indonesia League , and did you see the powerup column . It would have been nice on her part if she would have put in in the Pay it forward Discord Post promotions We have a lot of Indonesian members ( I'm sure it was an oversight 😀) I did resteem it 👍

Thanks, that sounds good to me :)

Yeah I've seen Paula's Power Up column, still thinking about if to include it for mine or not - I might have other columns to add soon.

More discords, whew! I can hardly keep up with the 53,454 I already have added! haha

Some more columns might not hurt

Discords ; ROFL i know but would be nice is if you had a account with the witness name . the reason is that I would put it in a separate "witness spot " just so members can see the witness name right there every day . not to worried about interaction just the , hate to say it but the , advertisement aspect of it

I did put her post in the #information posts :)
