in howto •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey!!! Want F4F? Great. UV4UV? yeah? awesoem. We Lambo by thrsday. Reivew my psts? Dont hve to vote. Jst sya wht u think. ok? Much awesome. Lion pics + donkey ablls. perfct 4 u. Ok, have to go. UV me ok! I upsteem ur comment vote.

This is the best way to act on the platform...

Well, let me finish that thought. This is the best way to act on the platform if your goal is to make it as hard for yourself to grow as possible.

Epix rnts!

First off. F4F is a bad plan. Welcome to dead follower land. It's one thing if you're both in a channel designed for a social cause. "Hey, you wanna make sure dolphins get boners? Me too!!! F4F?" (that's a Tosh reference). Ok, that's like the one place where it's acceptable. Where it isn't acceptable is everywhere else. What kind of fair weather asshole follower do you think this person is gonna be? They aren't really intersted in your growth. They don't care about you or your content. They are thinking numbers and follower count. So, yeah, you got a follower, but when you go off to write that epx pst for 5 hours for your 29 followers you get 2 views. Those were the two that really cared about dolphin boners!

Don't be that guy!

So, don't walk into a general chat and drop F4F. Anyone that's been here for a week knows it's a dumb proposition and it doesn't really help anyone. You're just waving your hand in a crowd and saying "Hey, I'm an asshat lookin' for suckers! Are you one?"

Fre Lambos

Steemit takes work. You don't get there in a week. You can't start with nothing and no followers and no group from facebook or youtube and hope to come here and be a whale in a week. I know a few people that catch some whale votes on their first couple posts, but that's about it. Most people have to spend weeks trying to catch a post with 15 views and $2 in dank amps (post rewards). So, the people that are telling you how awesome it'll be if you do the things they tell you to do and it'll be easy quick cash... they're scamming you. Don't do it. You'll regret it and feel dirty and used the next day.

Post promotion

Whether you're working with @acidyo in steemit chat (when it's up... ZING) or if you're in one of the Discord rooms you're going to run into channels. Now I know you want to promote your post, but nothing makes you look like a bigger asshole then running into general chat and saying hey "upvote my dolphin boner post" as your very first interaction. It's even worse when you're doing that as a DM to dolphins and whales. If you're spamming you probably don't know anything about them. You probably don't give a shit about them and their wants. You probably just want the votes, influence, and interaction with followers that they took months to create and you want the benefit from after a whopping 3 days on the platform.

Look, if you find a channel that's titled "dolphin erection enthusiasts" by all means post there, but the general channel or something like a music channel isn't an appropriate place for the post. It doesn't make you awesome or cool for posting there. It makes you look like an extremely disrespectful asswipe that shouldn't be upvoted, shouldn't be followed, and shouldn't get free lambos.

Fastest way to catch shit on the platform

This is probably too strong of advice for the trolls in this place, but if you want to make an entire group mad and ruin any chance of getting support from like 100 people at a time drop the @everyone or @here command. You're likely to catch flags for days. Thought it was hard getting anywhere on the platform with a 25 rep? Try it with a -7 and a couple of pissed off whale accounts flagging everything you make. It's just dumb.

You got your shitty follower group and posts in the wrong spot. Now what?

Obviously you should spend 6 hours writing your masterpiece. You should go into a cave with a typewriter and write your masterpiece. No one has ever had that same thought about SBD price increase/decrease/problem/solution/value before. You are a unique snowflake and you should put it everywhere on the platform you can think of. Then you should go post it on every facebook page and reddit/subreddit in the world. @everyone will love you. Free lambos right around the corner. Then you find out that only 4 people viewed it, and 2 clicked on the wrong post. You're sitting there all pissed off that this place sucks and no one votes your content.

what should you actually do?

Number 1 thing you can do is make friends. Friends that share similar intersts will read your posts, suggest fixes, offer resteems, and make introductions for you. They will help you find tools and communities to support you. They'll make this journey easier. The best way to do this on the blockchain when you're starting is to comment on posts you like from authors with similar interests. "Cool post" won't get you far, but a gif/meme or a thoughtful comment can easily catch a big vote or get a follower who actually appreciates you. When you get a couple hundred followers then it's time to switch gears to writing more and with all those friends you'll actually get some traction.

What if you wanna do something offline? Discord, facebook, and some other places have social groups. I manage the Minnow Support Project and know that the number one way that Minnows stop being minnows is to make friends. Turns out the fastest way isn't by shoving your posts at them, but instead to just say "hi" ask questions, and at least fake genuine interest for a while.

When talking to whales

Please don't link a post and say "hey review this." I know what you're doing. It isn't cool. You're not tricky. You're not fooling me. In fact it makes me think you think I'm an asshole that can't figure out what you're doing. You don't know anything about me. If you did you'd know I don't really care about Dolphin erections. So, when you push that post at me I'm inclined to think you're a dick that should be avoided. If you realize that I'm all about helping minnows it's better to start with a post like "Hey @aggroed, I saw that you run a big Discord group all about supporting minnows. I have a great idea that I think will help them? Have you ever thought about hosting a dolphin erection party? It's a great social cause and I think it could help minnows!!!"

See, that's at least interesting... I mean what the fuck is a dolphin erection party? I've never heard of that. I'm at least willing to have 1 more sentence of conversation about it, but if all you do is non-consensually shove your post in my DM feed I'm gonna get cranky. I don't know you, I don't know your content, I don't know why I should care, and I don't know how you're helping me do the shit I think is important. Now I have to look at your message so it'll go away and then I have to figure out if it's worth flagging you into oblivion.

See this place is as much about you as it is your content

People supporting posts are often supporting authors. The content might catch them the first time, but after that it's often about the friendship and wanting to support your buddy. I don't want a stranger coming up to me and hitting me with a 15 SBD contest for shit I don't care about asking me to review it and resteem it especialy when it's already 4 days old with 3 views. But come to me in Discord, talk about what you're passionate about, and tell me how you think you could help other Minnows an you're gonna get my attention. It's not that I hate contests. It's that I don't like spending my precious time only on self centered people.

Catching flak

The last time I did a snarky post like this I caught a little flak from folks that thought I've changed and become shitty. I spend about 6 hrs a day helping minnows grow. There's about 1400 of them in the MSP channel. What I'm doing is showing you what works and what doesn't. If you think I'm wrong go right ahead and actually do the shitty things in the title. Let me know how it goes. I'm sure you'll get fre Lambo by snday.

Most minnow just want the reward and forget about creating a good content.
Thank you for your advice

for sure, whan I came here and saw @stellabella posts with 4 diggits dollars and after checking her account my first idea was I need to gain followers by any price (thanks god to twitter and instagram)

@aggroed 's posts should be sent autoatically as a reply for all #introduceyourself posts

Nice idea. Should be post on the comment for every first post by a bot.

Good advice! Thank you :)

I just posted a little about who I am (posted below). I'll take any more personal advice if you are so inclined. I have been at this but I haven't found my niche yet
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@dickdeepdog/philip-glover-and-ginger-steeming-through-life-together-follow-us

Now that's a gif I can support! Nice to meet you!

Liked your continued dolphin referencing, thought it was definitely relevant. Nice to make your acquaintance

Makin' friends with dolphin dick jokes. Just like momma told me to do.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Haha @aggroed and @dickdeepdog you guys made my day !!! LOL the above git and dolphin dick jokes..haha..enjoying this platform!!!Keep it up

Great gif! Try doing the same with a whale and you will be crushed. ;)

OMG I have such dolphin boner! Free lambo party at @aggroed's house? Swag 420 yolo dank f4f fam.

Dude, how did you guess my password...Swag420yolodankf4ffam...man I thought that was unbreakable.

Should have used the "generate random password" option

What was I thinking...

Dude there are some things I don't know and don't want to know. Can't you see I'm over here having a dolphin boner sword fight with @aggroed at our lambo part?

You're right, you're right. It's either pants off or get the hell out. I understand. Carry on.

Wherever I put my nose I see you! Just glad there's that chick in the picture too :D

Hahahah, somehow we keep finding each other. I'm glad she's in their too, definitely not trying to be looking at my own silly looking face all the time!

exactly

It took me 15 mins to realise there was a car in the picture.

she's photoshopped. SHe aint' a real person.

A mere technicality.

@aggroed This made me laugh! Hehe.

I am not going to link any of my posts to you so keep reading =) I have been a member of the PAL group for some time now, I admit I am not as active on there as I should be. I prefer keeping my chats in the comments. My channel is heading more and more in the direction of helping minnows and teaching them some basics of the steemit platform. I do get a lot of upvotes and responses from them. 350+ upvotes on one specific post. The sad thing is, minnows are minnows. Their power is not as great as the rest of the steemit community. Thus my 350+ upvotes are only worth around $30 usd.

Is there anyway I can get some more support from other users on my efforts of helping out? I mean I really do like writing posts that put things simply, but the payout still gets me down at times. I have made peace with it though. Was just wondering, how can I get more support on this? I am thinking of doing a minnowbootcamp on everything minnows need to know (the basics: Voting power, editing tips, how to mention your source, what to do with your SBD etc etc. ) any ideas or advice?

Kind Regards, and much love for your posts.

@scrooger

yeah. sounds cool. wanna do it in MSP. I'm looking for people to host 1hr sessions on helping other people. it helps us grow. Gives you good exposure. and slowly gets folks used to using the voice channels. I see you in there. I'll support you.

@aggroed Deal! Let's get this party started! I am at work now. I will message you when I get off and we can discuss the details. I can do an hour a day for sure.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

nice blag psot i upsteem you right know bruvz !i!i!!1!

I like straight honesty. Much appreciated. We minnows dont want to annoy anyone here, so its good to know

Thanks for preventing us from being a pain in the ass
:D

A shining torch ... Follow it.. and you won't fall.... Nicely written @aggroed. Already following you... But it deserves a resteem.

Reading this post.... It's like speaking with a buddy.

"I don't like spending my precious time only on self centered people." -> one line explains all.

Our content should add value to the community.
When you respect the platforms and community, they save us and respect back.
It's all simple.

Actually, you @aggroed made it so simple and straight.
As a minnow, I really like your thoughts and your support. You do this for a cause, helping people grow and finally adding values

One thing I would like to say, minnows are being guided wrongly by some big players. I can't say the exact names of them, because I really loved their work here apart from their statement about Steemit.

All of their versions concluding one -
"it's all easy earning on steemit. Don't stop upvoting and commenting. Promote your posts as much as possible on steemit via comments, tagging.. If not today, one day you will be on your way to become whale" I think this is misguiding new comers here.

There is nothing like free anywhere, it's all about truly earning. It might be support, upvote or it also can be a Lamb, I mean "free lamb"

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Yeah. I think there are whales promoting this bullshit. IDK any specifically, but something has to be driving this. We've gone through expansions without this much idiocy. Maybe I'm just seeing more cause I got more followers. I don't know but it's getting nuts.

Nice thoughtful comment Chandu.

Thank you @aggroed

I don't see "find people on discord and eggplant emoji at them" on your list. Does that mean I have to give my lambo back? 😭

Joking aside, the amount of F4F spun comment bot spam is exploding, but no bot can makes jokes and take comfort in idle conversation with another. Love always wins!

You are right.

It is really bad here lately LOL.

Hence why this pst cot mie I.

Have a #F4F week my man!!

LOl

Steem On!

I get a @barrydutton comment on two posts this week! I'm #blessed. I feel like my footprints are all over this platform, but I'm second tier to you man. I know what it takes and I honor that commitment. Namaste.

I have been thinking of messaging you.

I have seen your work and quietly UV your posts the last while, watching your fun way of also building community and helping people.... things I try and do daily here.

I think I am going to vote for your witness.

You are a hard friggin worker.

I do not have the votes and support you do but your comments today showing me respect, kinda sealed the deal.

Kindness work.

Thank you.

I'd be honored. Thanks Barry! Doing my best to help this place out. It has so much potential! I do work my ass off. Thanks for recognizing that. The world is currently broken and it's not going to fix itself.

Amen.

Amen.

That's why the state hates me, check out my name or videos online some times, I put my money where my mouth and wallet are for years, calling them out and trying to wake people up.

You are my last available witness vote, so I am full now, and likely should clear a bunch out that are not doing anything for us, or replying to comments like you do along with helping people.

Good luck my man. We all can use some help and good things and encouragement in life. Most of us do not get enough of any of it.


  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Well, that's awesome and I'm very grateful. I'm on Steemit chat and Discord in palnet, steemspeak, and whaleshares. You "ring" and I'll gladly take the call.

I saw the first first paragraph and was wondering who I follow that would talk like that.
Well played. You got me lol.

Very good post indeed that will help new members like me and old members too. Its time we make steemit work for all of us the way it should and that is to put in work, respect and patience..this is no rich quick HYIP scheme rather a social network platform that pays generously if you put in effors through constant good contents, relationships and hardwork. Thanks @aggroed and hey, where and how can I get the beautiful lady in your post, am in love !!! haha

You read my mind. Except the dolphin erection stuff, that's definitely more your style.

Glad to see you're still finding time to keep it real!

Gotta give you props @aggroed

Let the F4F have it!

Better they learn NOW than LATER...

Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank

Thanks for this inciting information it will really help the new members. Making objective comment on someone content is sure way to grow fast here, when I was very new, I use to tell people to visit my blogs, but I later realized that is not the cool way to do it. I changed my strategy. I have to make friends first, support the community members in my little way. This your write up has really open my eyes, and encouraged me to continue in my new strategy for growth. Keep the good work. I appreciate.

rock on. Come visit us in the Discord channel. You seem cool.

Ok

Great advice, but let me ask you something @aggroed when is the dolphin erection party happening?!?!? lmaooo

It's a fair question. When I started asking myself what is a dolphin erection party I thought it might have staying power. If the party lasts more than 4 hours we might have to call a primary care physician.

HAHA we can have one on standby lol

Lemme know what you need to help the Spanish channel grow. Be sure to reach out to @efrageek. he's got a community to tend to already but I think MSP is a good home for them.

Yes, I am in there every day interacting with the people. I sent a DM to @egrageek the first day letting him know. Thanks, so far it is going well. If i need anything or run into trouble You will be the first to hear about it. Thanks @aggroed :)

Thank you for the good advice. Love your content.

thanks harry.

i had to come back for this


Those "Hey UV my post!" people really grinds my gear lol Also +1 for the Tosh reference.

meme4meme?

Hmmm...

I see your bojackhorseman and I give to thee will smith.

I appreciate the comment about waiting until I have a couple of hundred followers before spending a lot of time on writing posts.

no followers=no views = frustration

Spot on. Beg borrow or steal doesn't work anymore. The strategies of smart work pointed here really makes sense.

Not gonna lie, i scrolled past this initially because of the title. But glad I checked it out.

Youre lucky if you get voted by whales a week after joining. You are right, its not easy actually. People should not expect too much, we just need to enjoy platform and somehow, we will be given chance to shine.

yeah. Chill. Make friends. it'll all work out, but you might know that better than me Mr. Rep = 69. #repenvy.

But your wallet is far better than me :)

Alll you gotta do is work full time, have a family, and devote 40hours to this plaec a week and you can do it too! Lambos in no time!

Since I lost my job few days ago, I will be spending so much time with steemit :)

Sorry boss. Don't wory. Lambo thursdy.

Its alright. Everything happens for a reason.

I'm still a redfish and even I'm getting some of that crap coming my way! Unbelievable. You guys must get more of that than real comments! Flagging will end it real quick though!

No, cause it's like the first line of attack of so many minnows on the platform. As long as this place is growing I'm going to get a tickle my nutz contest for 5Sp in my DM inbox.

You lost me on that answer.
Are you being sarcastic about the contest?
First line of attack? Do you mean they are cutting their teeth at trying to get noticed and doing these things? Obviously they didn't read the introductory welcome post and follow its links to the etiquette page. Those who take short-cuts deserve a hard lesson. Put in the effort and reap the rewards.

Coddling the kids in school these days has produced a bunch of entitled young adults that will suffer for it. Coddling them here will not help them in the long run.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

No, it's just that everyone figures out that contests are a fun way to get attention. You give people shit and maybe they'll interact with you. The challenge is that every minnow on teh platform seems to think I hsould give them 25SBD to support their contest. MSP related? I got money for that! Random contest that you want me to resteem as your first interaction with me? Fuck off.

You give people shit and maybe they'll interact with you.

Are you saying that people give you shit hoping to get you to like them? That sounds absurd.

And why should you or anyone give them money for their contests? I'm aware of some money that was offered a while back in order to distribute to minnows, but that's different when someone offers you to help them distribute it.

MSP related? I got money for that!

Sorry, to me MSP stands for Medical Services Plan. I'm pretty sure you meant something else. Care to clarify that?

Minnow Support Project. It's the 1400 person Discord group I run with the intention of helping minnows grow. We control a 110k SP bot that runs around and upvotes us.

OK, I understand now. Sorry for taking so much of your time.
Good night and keep up the good work! I'm not taking advantage of the MSP, but I have been following all of the effort you put into it. I also appreciate your goals and how you speak up for the underdogs.

Woops... I should have known that!
Now I need to re-read what you said about it.

Truth, brother! Love this.

If I see another @everyone in discord I will die. My OCD just can't take it.

Resteeming for my noobs

X

You see peeps abusing @everyone lemme know and I'll put them in the troll box.

Hehe! Will do.

What about morons who keep inboxing me their posts - hey man, wanna check out my new post? LIKE, NO! I do not! How about a "hello, first?"! grrrrrrrr!

Yeah. Exactly. "Excuse you? Ummm, you don't know me!"

omgggggg. I had to give some dude a how to on everyday manners.

eg,

step 1 - Hi, my name is MewMew, and i like cats and pot

etc!!!!!!

Not - hey guy check out my post... like UV4UV huh?? F4F hey?

NOOOO

Yeah. This is steemiquette 101

That shit is the reality indeed,
Being new in the community we are all rushing towards follower rather than engagement and this is the same thought i had when people were like f2f in the groups n channel, i knew having more subscribers doesn't mean visibility but just a fuckin +1 in the follow count n not in the views.

One more thing that has been come into practice is to tag all the fucking follower in every post you make n i have been getting some of these notifications which is really annoying n which leads to unfollow instead.

We need to understand its not about getting but giving, Giving a post that audience would love , Giving some great advice to newbies ( like you did here ).

And about whales i believe some of them are really generous n willing to lend a hand to newbies by endorsing a give away and shit
@instructor1234 is top in my list :P

Success or no success but the Journey any side will be hell of a ride .

I can't find it, but there's a post about giving a gift or joke to your audience instead of trying to take soemthing from them. That little tweak changed everything. I'm sorry I dont' remember the video, but the message of tweak your approach from service to self to service to others and watch how the world changes.

Good times!

Well, this advice is really a masterpiece for newbies. As I am a newbie here, I read this information with keen interest because I know it can help me a lot to get exposure on steemit. They are like do's and don't on steemit.
Thanks for sharing it.

Great post :) I actually like how you presented this. It's also the first time I have ever heard the word "tosh." I definitely agree with a lot of your tips. Methods like following people with the hopes that they would follow back which are extremely common on Instagram and Twitter typically do not work here. Even if they did work, those who follow back often do not engage.

The same thing happens with leaving short comments where it's obvious the person did not read the content you published. I have seen that many times on Instagram typically from bots that target specific hashtags.

yeah, all useless. Tosh is Daniel Tosh from the Comedy Central Show Tosh.0. Very funny. he's a giant dick, and he's very funny.

I definitely have to watch some of that guy's shows then. Would you say he's funnier than Dave Chappelle?

Different. He's got internet bits. I don't know. He's like Dave Chappelle for white male hetero netizens.

I just got my Lambo in the mail bros... tits legit

Word! I will admit that I joined the Discord group and at first, tried to work the whole F4F channel the first few days. It wasn't worth it. Since then, I've spent more time in our General chat and its actually been amazing. So many cool personalities and friendships made already, not to mention REAL followers. Keep speaking the truth, friend. I'll keep reading it! Cheers.

We got a reformer. @doggedfi's 4f4 sins have been absolved. We welcome you back with open arms. You are now the messenger. Always good to see you in Discord bud. Thanks for helping in there!

Thanks man! Appreciate all your support on MSP as well as my own posts!

patrick stewart gif.gif

Engage!

Jean Luc, may he rest in peace....

Yeah, um, he's not dead.

Haha nope he's still a beast. Actually saw a picture of him not long ago and he was ripped!

Teach a minnow how to swim, good; but teach a minnow how to not swim, Super awesome great!!!!

Peeps need both. It's like the carrot and the stick.

It took me almost longer to comprehend the title than to read rest of the post.

Posts like this should be mandatory to read for all new users (and some of the old ones too).

I got some really nice tips, like I didn't know about that @everyone and @here commands. Now I'll finally get all these followers and free lambos and whales upvoting my every post, comment and reply and telling me how awesome I am.

One thing which is sadly missed by many is that amount of followers is not alone a good indicator how many people will likely see your post. Some are trying to follow everyone and when they follow 500-2500 people, they are likely to miss your post. If you'll get some more focused followers, they'll be more likely to see your post. And you don't usually get those devoted followers by posting "hey follow me and I'll follow you!!"

yeah. You got it! Nice to meet you!

It's nice to meet you too :)

I don't always check who writes a post which I read, but as I don't follow very many people, I'm always surprised who replies in my comments. "Wow, what a cool transformer"

I cried when he died. I did when I was a kid. I'm scared to watch again because I'll probably cry as an adult now too.

You shouldn't watch it again, as you'll most likely cry more than when you were a kid.

Or maybe that's why you should. Feelings are a nice thing.

I love the new movie Inside Out. There's one scene I'm crying at every time, even though I don't think I would have cried when I was a kid. It's more big emotions as adult and seeing things in an even bigger perspective which may cause crying more. And it's a good thing.

wow dolphin erection channel gotta check that out.

Or whats worse is someone putting a super shitty comment in a story that has absolutely no relevance, or a link to some unrelated article. Then EVEN worse is not even upvoting the original story.
Rant over :) Love your work as always.

yeah. Fucker's dropping on my wall cause it's a hawt post dropping their own account or some rando post to follow. It's like working at McDonald's and dropping your mix tape in the kid's happy meal. WTF are you doing?

Good analogy. you got me thinkin'

haha, brilliant analogy.

Great post outlining everything that's wrong with Steemians these days, especially newcomers (minnows). I think some of them really don't care, and will do whatever they can to get ahead. Be it, use bots to spam people, comment one word on every article, or have those hashtags of F4F, etc. People like to take the easy way out because that's what they're used to. In a world of instant gratification, they don't want to work hard and wait, they want it now. Too bad the truth hurts, and they'll be hurting more after they're flagged. Great post as always and keep spreading the truth.

Wow! Tell'm like it is sir! @aggroed You went dark there for a bit, but having been here just over a month, I can see your wisdom coming through on this post. It should be obvious to anyone that's been here just a few days and did some research on what not to do. Thanks for this amazing rant!

this is hella funny. "dolphin erection party" lol. On the serious note, enough with using @everyone FOR REAL.

yeah. I'm gonna start flagging bitches for that. Come at me brah!

But @aggroed if we F4F we can both have free Lambo and if we say nothing but good things peolpe will like us and UV cause no feels have been assaulted. On a real real note however personal growth takes work and sometimes that work causes pain and pain is weakness leaving.....well you know the rest. Loving the real talk that you place in your posts....keep on keeping on.

@aggroed Amazing post! Please share more posts like this! Your very helpful for me! Thank you !!!

Good article. I must be getting old as I have no idea what half that crap at the beginning means :)

Just squint a little and read it outloud like you have almost no command of the English language.

Ill come back tonight after a bottle of wine and give it another go! Its half six here, so a little early for that!

Why stop at one bottle?

Good point!

F4F is the most failure way
you just need followers that are interested in what you provide

We thank you!
No meme today. still dealing with my back,and meds...
I know better than to rush it or I'll be down for weeks, so I'm taking it easy for a few days. forgive me if I miss something!
I hope you have a great day!
Namaste!

Hey @aggroed, I saw that you run a small Discord group all about supporting whales. I have a great idea that I think will not help them? Have you ever thought about hosting a dolphin liberation party? It's a great social cause and I think it could help minnows go get multiplied!!!

This is all I could think about while reading this

You're welcome!

I've noticed a flood of people that just go around and place random comments in random articles that have zero to none synergy... Last time I made a post about my life and some dude just said "Awww Illuminati you are awesome I follow you", just because the picture is a pyramid with an eye.
It's sad to see people get flags honestly even if they spam, they are still adding to the platform.

Ok I understand, but where is the Lambo you promised me, hahaha

nice
done upvote

I like that you're reaching out in an effort to show people who do this why it doesn't work. I've been online since the dial up days, when online etiquette was a thing. I mean, not everyone followed it, but say you were making a transition from msn chatrooms to a roleplaying chatroom, walking in and typing A/S/L was a big no no. You learned quickly from other users or were pointed to the ruling AUP.

On a side note, I found the MSP on discord confusing, and did give up on it. Most of what I saw was bitcoin prices. I am very new to steem, so I decided to just log out, maybe I'll learn something about it and give it a shot at a later time. Hoping at some point to find a mentor, although right now I'm just swimming my minnow self around, enjoying the view for now.

But yeah, thanks for the advice.

@aggroed - LOL - "Dolphin Erections?"

Here We Go.JPG

Thank god the lambo common sense police are here lol... hopefully people read and figure this out. If it's worth anything they are special everywhere. I had an idiot on FB direct messaging me for his business opportunity giving me a hard time because I didn't reply to his straight up spammy post quickly enough. Time for some people to get some proper manners and think before they act.

That' even better!

Y u no anser? Fck' asshle!

that'll get my attention!

As always Judy it's lovely to see you on my Wall!

Thanks!

It was actually kind of funny with that guy...

Definitely a first, send his ass back to charm school ;)

Hope you have a great night!

I've been around the block a few times, never heard the term 'dolphin boner' used before... ever. Don't think I've ever seen a dolphin boner, I've never even thought of using 'dolphin' and 'boner' in a single conversation much less a sentence. That was entertaining and thought provoking. Were you spelling in code or were those honest typos?

It's the dipshit way those people talk. It's either because they don't have a grip on English or don't care enough to use it.

Then they are average, nothing to get upset about. If the majority are functionally illiterate, then that is the average.

@aggroed true words.. preach on.

Yeah man. I'm getting ready to write about this soon too. The "Hey, check out my posts today" (four of them) and I will upvote on your post (as in one) is starting to drive me just as nuts as F4F.

Is @aggroed gonna have to flag a bitch?

Yes, totally agreed. After getting more than 100 followers we should focus more on content. Whats your discord group name?

https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw

Come visit us. We're pure huge.

Thanks .. i m in

nice post man

Letting all that steem out!

On side note: This past week I have not even read that many posts, but yet, I have seen a lot more people doing stuff like that.

"Nice post, I followed you, follow back" (usually with worse spelling but aye...)

I have even seen it in posts in other languages, like my beloved Spanish. Like, shit man, I'd bet you didn't even understand the fuck the post was about.

I always like to check those people's profiles, see how many followers they've gained, and then check the upvotes and such on their posts. People with 1000 followers getting maybe 8-10 upvotes per post. No point really.

yeah, it's shit . Great you wasted hours getting shitty followers with 0 engagement. Now what?

You get to have hundreds of people directly ignore your posts when they see it on their feed.

Yeah, and it only took you 15 hours of randomly spamming channels to get exactly nothing out of it.

Good advice, is it okay to unfollow someone if i am no longer interested in their work?

yeah. it's all voluntary. Just don't write them a long note about why they suck and make it public.

DER TERK ER JEEEERRRBS!

Well written post, I myself am a newbie so this all makes sense. This is the kinda content I would read on a daily basis

hard to produce epx rnts erryday. I'll see what I can cook up.

All good man, even a by weekly epx rnts would be appreciated! Keep it up man!

Great guideline for newbies @aggroed


Sex sells?

I've always liked that dance. Not a big fan of blondes tho. Cat daddy ftw.

That minion is hilarious!

Probably a good idea to hang this on the welcome screen of steemit.com
Respect for nailing it to the bone.

Sir, may I kindly ask you if I can Resteem this? Its a great read!

And a lot of my followers are fresh as a daisy--- _---

I usually reestem stuff that helps other new users like myself...

Cheers

Great advice lots of values! I'm glad to Resteem this post. Thanks for sharing.

Upvote mine please

Thank you for the great advice. I think the biggest take-away for me was. "Number 1 thing you can do is make friends. Friends that share similar intersts will read your posts, suggest fixes, offer resteems, and make introductions for you."
I crave the meaningful interactions with people. Creating real relationships with others on the platform has been the best thing so far. To the point that my wife is ready to murder me if I mention Steemit again. ;-)
Keep up the great work @aggroed!

cool post! MAke sure u follow me ill follow u so should upvote my comment. probably resteem all my posts 2 i did upvote this post after all.

All jokes aside, I enjoyed this post and had a few chuckles from it! Thanks! haha.

Very nice...

That girl though...got me sidetracked

meh. She looks high maint.

Its chill she can play with my lambo

Let's be real...you actually do care about Dolphin boners. I know sarcasm when I see it.

Really though people, follow this advice, even as a minnow I somehow get people DMing me to check out their post, and it drives me nuts. Now, imagine a whale that gets 100x more of these, it has to drive them absolutely crazy, and if I was in their position I would do everything I could to not have to see any post from that person ever again.

I do care. I really do! You're funny. I owe you a resteem for this. Just make sure it's an awesome post. And not until next week.

I'll take it...step one: come up with a non-shitpost...step two: verify it is indeed non-shitpost.

Posting useful content will help you immensely. Just my 2 cents.

good post , id shorten it to bullet points tho, ppl online dont have much time. I worked for customer service at a call center and over the years took pictures of the funniest names i.e. LORD VITHER PURIFICATION loll ,i want to do a slideshow with music ,what music wud u recommend?

Very good, if you like you can read my 2 stories and follow me I'm new on the page, happy day and thanks

But... I want a Lambo!
So, what do I do? If no whales look at my posts, then I'll never get a Lambo.

or maybe I want a Maserati

🎶 My Maserati does 185 🎵
🎵 I lost my licence, now I don't drive... 🎶

Keep up the snarky ^_^

I know people who know people. be my buddy. We'll support each other!

Does the (at)everyone actually work?
I don't even see @builderofcastles in steemit.com
I am probably missing a followerizing tool.

But, I want to know, you know, like just in case, as the black helicopters are landing, I can send out my final post to everyone.

And, for steemit.com, do we want a ... something, a listing of
So and so mentioned @builderofcastles in their post
etc...
?

@everyone and @here are commands that work in steemit chat and Discord. But they will enrage all participants. @kryptik did it once and I nearly ripped off his minnow nutz. Now he's in my Discord and we're cool. But that's a bad impression.

Loving how direct this is, no bullshit.

Something, something dark side.
This seems to be a recouping thing for sure. I'm still new to the community and it's good to get some guidance from someone that has a clue. UV, RS, and I've already been following you. Cheers

Wait a minute, are you saying Tai Lopez would not do well here?? xD
I appreciate the post, and your help, thanks!

You somehow keep slipping posts in past me.

Brah, I am so down with this post!

:)

I said something similar in a similar way in my "how not to behave in a library" post.

Thank you for the great advice. Being new to the platform, I had no idea. Zero. My friend pushed me into the Minnow Support and Discord and it all began to make better sense, especially with the help I receive there. Thank you kindly - and the entire team that make that place awesome.

Awesome article!
Great to connect with you!
Hope you're having a great day!

@aggroed, thanks for the great article. Sounds like you had one too many F4F on the day you wrote this. I love the quote " at least fake genuine interest for a while.".

Just like in the real world. If you want a promotion you don't just walk into the bosses office and ask to be a manager, you have to go to lunch with them, hang out and smoke cigarettes with them, build relationship first and that promotion is yours.

I've been here a little over a month. Just doing as you say, seeing how the place works, not posting much. Making friends, avoiding the rude ones.

Keep up all your good work.
