@lauralemons drew my character, then i added stickers. You're so new, that I totally understand why you would want to upvote your own. Remember i have been blogging for over a year here, so I am at a different stage....
As far as noobs are concerned, I would place emphasis on these things:
communicating with others (both in comments and on steemit chat)
helping others
entertaining others
learning how and why Steem was even built.

arturomdg (61) · 7 years ago (edited)

Why to buy 20000 Steem when I can get them borrowed? I sold Steem when it raised to 1.8$ and but other coins with more potential to grow in the short term, like NEO, OMG, TenX, District0x, CoinDash, 0x etcetera. One needs to have a really good strategy to get the most of investing in cryptocurrency. Delegation here in steemit is the best choice for me right now. Cheers!

Similar self vote percentage and time of residence on Steemit as @rival here. Maybe if and when I'm at 70+ I can afford to go self vote free but for now, with just 100 followers, it's an important tool for a noob.

I haven't been here very long and have never bought steem but rather have built what has accumulated through only comments. I've not posted much either. Really, I just like meeting people of like minds, reading and gaining knowledge through their experiences. The freedom here is inspiring over other sites I'm not interested in supporting also. My wallets not big by any means but it is, IMO, a bonus and not the main focus. When I began here, I never self upvoted but and wasn't aware it was an option until finding it through browsing around. I must admit that I do upvote my comments more now but the penny I get for doing so really doesn't do much if anything at all for me. I've made a lot of great friends here and truly enjoy the site with the idea that in the future, way down the road, it'll be another way that I've diversified the nest egg for my family :) Great post. Enjoyed as it made me think a bit............,

I talk about it to them all the time and some seem interested but still like their FB. What I have done, and I suggest everyone do this, is dropping hints in the comments of your favorite youtube channels as most of those guys are suffering these days due to lower revenues and censorship. It has paid off in that I've seen a few of my favorites here on steemit theses days. Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot and put a smile on my face! I'll see you around stellabelle. Nice to have met you............ :)

witnezme (45) · 7 years ago

Actually thanks for the idea, now is a great time to promote Steemit to Youtube. Have you guys heard about their new flagging algorithm? It identifies "controversial" content, and auto-bans the entire channel, all without a human touch a button and without any means of appeal.

It's especially insane because if you talk to people who've been watching closely, "controversial" apparently applies to certain types of content, but not to others.

mctiller (69) · 7 years ago

That's a good observation, that we maybe running out of readers. Maybe a built in issue, in order to read and upvote you have to go through the difficult process of applying to get into Steemit.

I'm back into buying because I sold a lot when the price was low.

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

I think back to the story of how @trafalgar became a millionaire on here......He bought Steem when it was like 40 cents, and then went all in.....he put in $100,000 and when the Steem price shot up, his $100,000 turned into $1,000,000. That's when my mind changed.......I realized I need to be putting more in.

Let me take a look at your overall profile. I will say this though....I am most concerned about the huge SP holders who self vote, as I think it sets a bad example.....with smaller minnows upvoting their own posts, i have mixed feelings. If your account is tiny, you're not going to be able to make much and your strategy is not really that good long term. Let me look at your account, hold on.

$0.07

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

I heard this upvoting idea before regarding minnows. The advice I got was to upvote yourself until you get a slider. Then upvote only one of your posts each day - or none - depending upon how you feel at the time yo have become so successful.

The reason given for this option was motivation. At least this way none of your posts will sit there with $0.00. I feel good about this plan and will definitely turn my automatic upvoting off on the wonderful day that I get a slider :)

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

yeah, i can see that motivation would help newbies, although other methods would be more effective. For example if a newbie would host a Steem party and help others get Steemit accounts, or teach them how to use Steemit, they would get way more votes from the steem community.

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

That's a ton of unknown work for those us trying to figure out how to format posts and etc. I'm in #nicnicy's minnowsfaucet and that might be similar to what you are thinking of. He struggles to get participation.

My choice is to create a steemer twitlist on Twitter and tweet good posts and rt my steemer friend's good posts. I'm "big" on Twitter and my new activity has really boosted that account. The posts come through beautifully. Oddly - the vast majority of the many rts I get on steem posts are from my non-steemer connections over there. But I'm happy for any action. If it is from offsite - maybe we get new blood over here.

I'm about to make some posts to educate my new steem tweeps on how to do better on Twitter to get more interest for steemit. I've got 50+ of them on my list in a short time. That is more than enough to make a difference if we work together. I coach twitter, so I'm re-purposing some of that information for here and hoping for the best result.

I like your work. As I can see you just joined in July, so you are very new. Your work is original and it even has a hook: moustaches! I would imagine that 2 months of blogging, you're getting frustrated. Have you joined the yunk channel in steemit chat? It's now probably a good time to explore outwards, make friends, and do some vlogs wearing giant moustaches! You need to really get into the moustache theme, as make your mark on this site as 'THE ONLY MOUSTACHE'. I HAVE IDEAS FOR YOU.

Ahh thanks for checking out my stuff! Yes I actually already have a pretty sweet mustache, there is a pic of me on my blog lol.

I have never checked out Steemit chat and yes I am very new. I decided to start a blog to help encourage my friends to get into crypto, and then I found Steemit while doing research. Seemed like a good place to post my blogs and now im HOOKED! hahah

I stopped self-voting a while back as I want to reward others to help them out. I'm also delegating some of my SP to those who can make good use of it. It's not all about earning for yourself. We need to build something much bigger to really do well for ourselves. For now we need to deal with the abuse of the system to make Steemit more attractive.

arckrai (62) · 7 years ago

I can't believe steem has went under a dollar. However, I don't know why I'm complaining. I'm just a small minnow and I need to accumulate as much SP as I can before it is too late haha

Regarding curations, I agree as time goes on it is going to be harder to find consumers and curators.

I don't know if that is because after HF 19 people have been reserving their upvote due to voting power or because of the numbers of users joining creating content and ultimately creating this flood of posts.

My self-upvote percentage used to be around 20% (now it is 14%) before but that was because when I first joined the platform I would upvote everything I'd see including my posts even though my upvotes were worth $0.00... nothing. It did more harm than it helped me and after HF 19 hit I don't think I've ever self-upvoted myself on a comment.

As time goes on that number will keep getting smaller and smaller and I hope I can get to around 1% or 2% but I'm glad I'm not like some people I've seen who have 50%+

Also while the price of steem is low I've been converting all my SBD to Steem and I hope so before it gets too expensive @stellabelle! :)

I commented on @jerrybanfield's post about the upvoting of your own posts, nobody responded to my questions though... Can I do any harm to my account If I do that... If I upvote others too much, do I harm myself?
Because I thought the whole point of Steemit was to reward interesting posts from others...
I am pretty new here, and really in the dark for the moment

$0.49

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

the entire point of steem is to find and reward others, and build community. Your reputation gets increased when others who have a higher rep upvote you. It's supposed to build upon the concept of esteem. Holding others in high esteem.....that is the concept. Plus, if you find posts that go big, you're rewarded. Now it's not perfect....Since you're new, your account has little weight. You don't have a lot of influence over this site right now.
The process of figuring out your unique contribution to Steemit is tough. Steem is a decentralized autonomous organization, and there are many jobs to be done in here. You must know who you are before you begin to earn rewards. Jerry had a big following before he came in here. They are his fans who upvote him. I also had a fair number of people follow me in here from Facebook, so they follow me in here....but most of the work i did was inside Steemit....I try to figure out how to improve things and work behind the scenes helping people....as much as possible....I'm not perfect though..

Hi!

Wouldn't it help newer people if they immediately upvoted their own post? It could get them into the hot category, giving them more of a chance.

Other than that, I think it is definitely best to upvote others!

You show yourself as someone who truly cares about Steemit, and you lead by example. And who could ask for a better inspiration than that?

Self-votes don't really make sense (even though it's the default when you write a new post); it always seemed to me like going to amazon and buying copies of your own book, and then pointing at "how well sales are going."

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

Well, I will be totally transparent here: I am interested in survival and my own investment. My investment is mostly in time, as I spent 12 hours a day on this site, for nearly a year. I consider it a place that I feel I can make a difference in, and I want to protect my own Steem investment, too.

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

I was fascinated by that post from Jerry too and studied it for trends. Quite a number of the least generous voters are also powering down so it seems they do not share your optimism and hope. Good for them if it is time to leave and do something else.

But I sure hope this excellent platform survives and thrives. I feel like I can do well here if I persist and work as hard as you do at it. I'm surely putting in the hours now :)

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

I think there will be a market here, and even during the low price of steem times, we were still earning. It was certainly depressing, but it was still working.

If no one is responding than that simply means its time to do a little more research and crafting so that I am putting forth quality material. Thanks again for this share.

denmarkguy (76) · 7 years ago

Thanks @stellabelle, and welcome to the club of no self-upvoting! Just as a point of reference, it was YOUR post about Steemit as a "gift economy" that originally inspired me to stop that practice. I believe in the whole pay it forward thing... but that also means I have to put my faith in the system and walk my talk.

It's hard to believe Steem went under $1.00... seems like basically buying it "on sale" at the moment. I guess others had the same idea... just checked Bittrex (at 3:00pm US Pacific) and there's a bit of a mini-rally going now, and it's not just following BTC off its morning lows.

I keep coming back to this single thought: There's no "they" who will come blazing in and fix any issues we have on Steemit. We're decentralized... so that makes US the "they" responsible for creating the future. And I think that's were many of our problems can be traced to... people more concerned about "their next 5 cents" than whether or not we will still HAVE a Steemit in 2020, or 2025. My actions are VERY SELFISHLY oriented towards the latter!

And what about the idea of writing posts not in Japanese, but in #Esperanto?
Esperanto is a very light and very powerful language.
You can learn it in 1-2 months.

Write posts in the language of Esperanto is the best idea to become unique and valuable in the community of the steemians.

Buying coins for less than one dollar is a good idea, because the real price of a coin is at least $ 2.
This is a good investment.

I'm lower than the 'pay-for-vote' bots, (as you know from the various posts I've done on the topic) but I'd rather this number get closer to zero in my long term Steem-life.

I think it's a good idea once you become a strong whale to stop upvoting your posts completely. However, I don't think it makes sense for minnows to do that yet. I've been noticing the price of steem as well and I hope that this is the bottom because it's also possible we might go back down to $0.70. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the minnows are spamming and also the fact that there's so many arguments at the top right now. Wish I had $1600 to spend.

I'm down at 7% on that Self voting tool - I don't mind the self voting on a Post its the up voting on your own comments that should be stamped out.

And I agree Steemit is undervalued at the moment. Which is why I have bought some Steempower.

The Steemfest in that Fantastic City of Lisbon in Portugal, should start pushing it up again. And in the UK @stephenkendal is banging the Drum for Steemit.

Glad to see more people doing this, I am going for a lower self vote percentage as well. Currently I am at around 14% and hope to spend more time manually curating content. I starting buying in a little bit at a time back when it was around .08 and have been happy with small daily buys. I typically buy $5-10 per day so I can average the cost out over the highs and lows. If everyone committed to $2 a day buys Steem would skyrocket. I cant tell anyone else what to do so I continue to curate content and post less and try to lead by example. I plan to go back to posting maybe a few times per week and only Dark sky related content. Thanks for this post, we need more people to start thinking this way

Ok - I enjoy your posts but what does this mean, and how do I do that?

This was an interesting read. I quickly realized that there are many more writers than readers here. Quite frankly, I am quite disappointed but I will search for my niche and hope to find a group of readers and writers.

Oh wow @stellabelle. 2% is miniscule. I also checked @jerrybanfield's earlier post. Some of the heavy hitters can Really give back a little more but hey, each to his own I guess. I applaud you for your bravery by aiming to become part of club 0% :):) Good luck and know we're all here to support you in whichever way we can :)

I hope I'm on track at 42.4 percent but I just started in June. I plan on not doing it as much as soon as my posts are seen more. You are really awesome for not upvoting yourself! Loved your Spam video too, lol! Have a great weekend!

I'm at 7.2% @stellabelle, do you think it's good at this rate or should I bring it more lower?
Thank you so much!

My conscience tells me to bring it to zero %. That's the goal i am setting right now, i always forget to untick the upvote my post button.
Will do it now for sure.
Thanks so much for replying!

I have been meaning to engage more with the Japanese community, but I am already worn thin with the English one. I'll get around to it though, please share your Japanese account with me, I'll be there.

I'd also like to invest some money in steem but that would require money to invest. All the more incentive to kick ass here.

Also, I would usually feel guilty about spamming your comments with links to posts but I read this article 2 days ago that totally kicks ass and deserves more attention, please check it out, its not mine, til yesterday she was a stranger!

And I mentioned you in my last post which is not a big deal cause 20 people mention you a day at least. I think it's a good post though :-D
