Hey @derangedvisions. Glad you are not losing hope. I believe your talent will go far in steemit. What you need is exposure and the subscribers and upvoters will follow in drones.

You make superb content and your posts has good intentions. I've actually recommended you to be whitelisted in Minnowbooster and its the perfect platform for you to get exposure. :)

derangedvisions (73) · 7 years ago

Thank you. I don't know anything about minnowbooster, but I have seen it on other people's posts. I will have to look into it.

Promoting your post is just as important as making awesome articles. For your awesome articles to be appreciated it needs to be seen by a lot of people thats where MB comes in and helps you.

Since you are now whitelisted . You can now use their service to promote your post. You can do that by sending your SBD to Minnowbooster with the link to your post as the memo. MB will then upvote you at around 2.6x the amount that you send. So a 10 SBD sent nets you $26 worth of upvote and 100 SBD gets 260.
If you do the math on the rewards assuming the STEEM price doesnt go down a 100 SBD boost sent to MB If we do the math You will get 96 SBD Back and 26 STEEM POWER!! ( I've already factored out the curation rewards ). This will not always be the case but in terms of SBD + STEEM you get in rewards it almost always results in profit for you.

The good thing about high voted posts is that more people get to see your post as they are reflected on the trending section meaning more exposure and followers and readers in the long run.

You can read more about them at

Thanks for keeping me motivated. Hope to be nearly as successful as you are after my 90 days ;)

derangedvisions (73) · 7 years ago

Keep up what you are doing and I am sure you will do great. I have seen your work and it is awesome. The big thing is branching out in the community and getting to know people so they know you.

roadtrips (60) · 7 years ago

:) Alright, will keep on working. But its hard to get the attention from people who are already connected in the community, because their posts are very busy. Did you started getting to know people who are on the same (reputation) level?

This is exactly the post they should link at the bottom of the Steemit FAQ - after all the Jargon nobody understands links to real post where real people came here and worked out how to progress.

You have come a long way in a short time, and this post is a real inspiration to people starting out on Steemit - I spent far longer then this getting less then a dollar for my posts when I started out.

I still don't fully understand how this platform works, but from experience I learned very slowly that you need to give to receive. When I started out I created posts and then just expected people to find them - when nobody did I wondered why.

Eventually I worked out my post's were just a tiny part of a much bigger puzzle, and to bring in an audience you need to actively pursue them. Comment and share is key - the more you remind people about you through comments the more they will remember you.

The charitable side of Steemit is fascinating, and real differences can be made to people's lives.

Sir I am inspired. Would it be possible to get the discord link for some of these channels that helped you grow especially the Alliance one with the school program.
I really want to learn these waves, and really connect with people on here.
Hopefully I might actually get to buy my first cam from my funds here.

^{BTW amazing photos as always}

derangedvisions (73) · 7 years ago

Most of the links expire after a certain amount of time and I don't have the ability to invite to most of the discords. If you check out @mbc-meps, you should find out how to join them in one of their posts. The Alliance has an application process that you have to go through, and you can find out how to do that on @thealliance page.

Amazing write up and with only 8 weeks under my belt, I think I have done alright but if I compare my journey to yours it is nothing, lol. : ) Half of my problem is I don't fully understand everything going on... what is a good thing to do and what is not... (wallet wise, etc).

I am really looking forward to your photo comp... I think the tier level is a brilliant idea as it is difficult for us snap happy hobbyists to compete against professional photographers. In saying that though, I have a lot of respect for them and have/am learning a lot from them also! : ) So I'm thrilled to see how and what you do with this idea over the coming weeks!!

derangedvisions (73) · 7 years ago

Thanks @jayclar30. Steemit is a huge learning curve and it takes a long time to understand how it functions. I still dont full grasp it, but I learn more every day. I am glad that you have entered in the photo contest. It should be a good place for you to meet like minded people also. I am hoping that people starting upvoting each other's entries more and commenting back and forth to each other so that they can all get to know each other and grow their circles.

Great stuff! Congratulations on the 90 days! I see we joined Steemit the same time, I don't have so much successes but thanks to posts like Your here, I can see how important is to being active member of community not only an anonymous blogger. I was organizing some contest in the past but in the meantime, I start running few other projects which took my time, which by the way, I have still not enough to being involved into Steemit as much as I would like to.

Real life work, very young son, some traveling in the meantime are my priorities but just after that , is Steemit. Hope to evolve in a good way here, I always support great ideas and projects and I am happy to find Your side. Follow for sure, hoping to see more great stuff from Your side.

Have a good day!
