HERE A REDFISH THERE A REDFISH WHERE WILL YOU BE IN TWO MONTHS
Yesterday I covered some things involve Redfish . My comments involve things I see and hear . Post that I read and basically pass them on . I like many , many others support Minnows . The more information you have the better you are able to help yourself .
https://steemit.com/payitforward/@wolfhart/minnows-will-redfish-survive-or-be-eaten-by-a-whale
Let us not fall into the Myth that this platform is NOT about helping yourself . Because that is what it is all about . Sometimes I feel like a broken record . I say these thing all the time . Sure you need help . But the help is not something you are entitled to . No one here is obligated to help you . No one has to visit your blog make a comment or reply to you .
I understand that you were told or informed that is not hard . Saw youtube video of people making huge amounts of money . They gave you not only advice but how to repeat exactly what the tell you and you will be successful .
I say this because three day ago I was talking to a Redfish who asked for some help , and when I looked at his account . He was a big supporter of Jerry and hajin to name a few . He votes , comments and yes resteemed all of their posts . But not once was there a reply or vote from them . Talk about being used as a free Bots . Don't laugh I have seen to many just the same , being used .
Who did you vote for as a Witness ????????
Yesterday I made the comment that you should have a goal of getting to the 500 SP level .
Goals
Your first goal should be to reach the 500 SP mark .
The reason for this is that around 500 SP or so you will get the slider option . This in turn will allow you to increase your engagement with votes . You should already be engaging with others at your maximum level . By providing more votes to others builds your foundation plus helps others in the community to do the same
I stand by that . How you get there is up to you . Everyone is different . Come from different circumstances with different abilities . The HOW is your responsibility . I make minor suggestion here and there with some tidbits . They say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it . I say the water is over there you go find it . Sounds a little harsh but it will let me know how bad you want the water .
I am saying this again about the 500 SP because its a HOT topic . And it should be . Many have struggled and sacrificed a great deal to reach that level . They have put the time in and studied the workings of the platform . Had setbacks and pushed forward because they believe in the community . Now they spend an enormous amount of time and resources helping others achieve this goal . What have you done for yourself to deserve the help they offer ?
There are 98,000 accounts out there with less than 100 SP . What does that tell you ? What it tells us is that there are way to many Redfish that are abusing the good intentension of others who are spending time and resources trying to help Redfish succeed . It's not just the stat above , it's also the Redfish who are cashing out or powering down instead of investing in their future . There are stats on that too . It's not all redfish but it's enough . Everything you do here is recorded and available information . Personal responsibility has a lot to do with achieving a goal or failure . Take that responsibility and improve yourself .
If you are a Redfish I suggest you seperate yourself from the crowd . !!!!!
What a great post! There are so many who come here with visions of writing posts and makes millions, when in fact, it's a lot of hard work and focusing on others and making relationships with those people. It's often a paradigm shift for people; I know when I started, I too thought, "cool, I'll write posts and make money" haha. It doesn't take long to figure out that you need to be a part of a community here and help others; that's why I joined groups like @newbieresteemday, @greetersguild and @asapers, and that's why you started your group :)

@wolfhart frankly speaking thank you so much!
This post motivated me for most of us 500sp is a dream and I want to convert that in a strong desire! If you don't mind can I please know exactly what is a red fish not only on platform but also in the sea.
Thanks a lot for #Payitforward, @asapers and #greetersguild
Where you give all your support to newbies and minnows. May God bless you from the apex of my heart you're kind @wolfhart!

@bmotives A Redfish is a minnow who is under 500 SP
in the sea it is also called Red Drum . I guess it's close to a Red Snapper . I also heard it called ocean perch but I don't think that it is the same
Thank you for the kind words

Personal responsibility. Right there is a huge tip and one I hope people will take to heart. It's a theme I harp on with my friends. No one owes you anything. What have you done, what are you doing, to create what you want in your life? I have no patience for the 'I deserve' mentality when there's nothing to back it up.
Preach it!

@donna-metcalfe 👍 that same attitude needs to be passed on here . That might help clean up some of the misconceptions

Well, I'm with you on that.
There's a saying that I like - A huge amount of growth takes place between "It fell." and "I dropped it."
But the problem, as I see it, is the reward and punishment system that supports not taking responsibility. In life too, not just here.
Like telling a kid, "Just tell me the truth and you won't get in trouble." And the kid knows very well that's a lie because they've told the truth before and got in plenty of trouble. So we can tell people to take responsibility, have integrity, do the right thing, and why should they listen when they can see for themselves that people who do the opposite get the (visible) rewards. I don't have the answers, just try to live it.

@donna-metcalfe I understand what you are saying more than you think . A middle class has to be built . right now there is not one . only the upper and lower

Good point. That wasn't true when I was growing up, I wonder when it changed? Or has it been happening so slowly that I'm only aware of it when it passed the tipping point?
Keep preaching it!

@donna-metcalfe I happened slowly over time . The middle class had to much of a voice as a whole . I would like to see one here and the only way that will happen is if the Redfish break out of their current class

Absolutely a must read for all newbies, Planktons or redfish etd...
@wolfhart is right in all the way..There should be some Goal..and each time you logged in this platform the GOAL should be reverbrate inside your heart...
I also believe he is insisting others to find a path to reach the Goal by their own...May be later he will come up with suggetions too and I am expecting it..
A great write up..

I think we all are confused here. Curation reward is a big myth here. Minnows and plankton rush towards trending post to upvote it because they think that it will increase their payout in some way. How much one can earn as a curation reward depends on SP he have and the timing of the post. Whales' posts are automatically upvoted by other whales and bid-bots much before a minnow can upvote them. After a certain number of upvotes curation reward becomes almost zero but herd mentality forces minnows to upvote trending posts. They don't help each other. They hope that commenting on whales' post will yield some profit for them but whales don't care about minnows because whales are capable of helping themselves.
BTW your post is an eye opener for this community. I am following you.

@akdx I have said many many times . why case a whale or anyone else . and also about the trending page . Just because it appears to have a big payout does not mean you will get a piece of the pie . Curation reward of 25% is split between the amount of voters . Plus many other factors . So my question has always been why do it . If you can not answer why , to what you are doing , there might be something wrong with what you are doing

@akdx I think it one of those things we have to say over and over again then when we get tired of saying it , repeat :)
We all only touch a few people and out of the few only a small percentage will get it . But if enough of us say it it just might sink in and make a difference
