Resteem-What is Resteem and Why you should Resteem?

in steem •  8 years ago  (edited)

If you have something I may have missed, please feel free to link it here and I'll add to my list of things to look at here shortly. I can't promise I will resteem it (looks like it counts as one of your daily blog postings), but I can promise to look at it and give you some comments and feedback.

Resteem is the sharing of content you find interesting to your followers .its like retweet button in tweeter and share button on facebook.Your resteem button looks like a bent arrow. If you don't see it, you may need to press F5 on your browser to get it to show up.

Does Resteeming someones post give them more curation,.and also does it act the same as curating rewards at all?.
If you resteem something, it will show up in your blog feed. Those who are following you will see that post. If you have curated that post, then it may be to your advantage to resteem it as well, as it will expose more people to the post to vote after you.

If you have curated that post, then it may be to your advantage to resteem it as well, as it will expose more people to the post to vote after you.It's kind of like retweeting on Twitter if you are familiar. It is like releasing a blog except it's someone else's. Your followers will see your resteem.

The Resteem button can be a great success for someone that is small, new to the platform, and don't have that many followers. If they get ReSteemed by someone that writes regarding the same topics and has quite some followers it could mean that this user will get much more attention. Instead of giving you a share of their Steem, they give you exposure to THEIR followers, and that is a great trust.

But a smaller user can also have some great utility of this function. If you're small and writes about something specific, many of your users will be interested in reading things about this and ReSteeming post from others with the same content will hopefully give you more followers. You will not earn Steem or SBD but rather Followers.
Resteem is just like the way we have retweet on tweeter.

Why you most not Resteem every post that comes your way

Sharing is Good, But Caring is Better ,But there is a two edged sword situation here. You shouldn't ReSteem EVERYTHING that you find. Your followers are following YOU, not someone else. They may find other posts on the same topic very interesting tough, and that's what you're aiming for here. Me, I write about Gridcoin and will most likely not share many posts about baking or skydiving. I will probably ReSteem things regarding Gridcoin, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency.
Always retweet With Caution.
This Feature is very powerful and should be used with great care. If you are not careful it will end up destroying your reputation, declining followers and less exposure. Remember that your success is made by your followers and they are the ones you should care for. Never think you are big enough to not care about that. Great success takes a very long time to build, but can be destroyed in a second and takes forever to rebuild.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion whenever we get ReSteemed by someone that writes regarding the same topics and has quite some followers it could mean that this user will get much more attention. Instead of giving you a share of their Steem, they give you exposure to THEIR followers which could also get you followers and this would lead to more exposure.
So when ever a person resteem a post both the person that resteemed the post and the person that wrote the content gains.For the person that is content got resteemed he gets more exposure .when is content is resteemed,while the person that resteemed the content gets is followers entertained especially when he has not been able to write his own.

Did you enjoy it. Would like to hear more from you , don't forget to resteem and upvote.
Have a nice time steeming.

Thanks @macko for an excellent explanation on ReSteeming - the nuances of curating are confusing at times and this aspect of curation and value-add is well-explained. As a new Steem-er I voraciously look for expertise to curate as I find my own niche of expertise to eventually share here on SteemIt. I would recommend this explanation to newbies and experts alike. Thanks again.

For the life of me, I just can't see that rectangular (Resteem) arrow.

I've tried CRTL +F5 on Chrome and Firefox to no avail. Can you help please with a print screen? 😕

Or have I misunderstood your text "Resteem is the sharing of content you find interesting to your followers .its like retweet button in tweeter and share button on facebook.Your resteem button looks like a bent arrow. If you don't see it, you may need to press F5 on your browser to get it to show up." 😉

Very nice post an very helpful! Keep up great work! :)

Nice post, however you needed to add after 7 days no resteem I was looking all over for this info cause the symbol didn't show up anywhere on posts I wanted to share... guess I'll do a newbie post about it....

still trying to understand resteeming but am already doing it. Don't know if it benefits me or not, I just do it.

full detail #thanks for the time,,..

I was really having a confusing time trying to understand the difference with this resteeming thing i though there was money attached to it but followers is way more important to me in this beginning process thanks a plethora.I will definitely follow you.

Well you helped me get one of my questions answered. Thanks a lot. I wonder why no $$$ for such a great post. Quite confused I am.

Upvoted and Followed.

Please join the @labwork team and upvote,follow & resteem!

Your post mentioned it counts towards your daily blogging... Is there a limit to the number of posts a person can do in a single day?

Thanks for this. Because they "asked me if I was sure" I became curious that perhaps I was not spending currency. I am new and just learning the ropes. This article does make sense. Some of us try to be very smart and get repost happy thinking that people will follow us for this.

Is it possible to re steem a post to a specific individual, or paste a link in a reply?

Very helpful thanks

Great explanation, its really helpful. Thanks

When I first saw this word thrown around I was stumped over what it meant. It was foreign to me. Thank you for helping me in my quest to understand the different terminology used in Steemit.

Now i understand, i will follow you.

the symbol doesn't show up anywhere I did the f5 thing doesn't work any suggestions?

Dude, I have a question. Please reply to it.

Why the heck aren't you paid for this post?

My thoughts exactly.. haha :)

I was thinking the same! This post is really helpful and looks like a lot has seen it. I'm new here and I see some non-sense post and they get paid 20 dollars or so. And this doesn't. I hope how things work here in Steem is fair.

you got my attention. I was wondering the same. Why he was not paid.

I'm curious too.. lots of votes..

Thanks for the info - Although I've been on dtube for almost 6 months now I guess making content; I'm still learning it all and STILL have MILES to go!!!

Great post, was wondering if you get anything out of resteeming.

Nice post, @macko. Upvoted and following you. Feel free to follow me.

Thanks for sharing this

Thank you for making me understand this

This is great. some of us are still new in the platform and thus getting content of this nature is very helpful.

On a semi-related note... you mentioned gridcoin. Is this project still alive and well?

Hi there, great post. Still valuable, even if being around for more than a year. And here is something I don't understand about steemit ... Your post has almost 100 upvotes (great! and well deserved!!) , but still, you gain is close to $ 0.00 . Why is that?

Very helpful post. Great support for new steemers.

very good bro..

Thank you!

Got it. Thanks 👍👍

This was really helpful I was wondering what resteeming was all about. Thanks.

Great explanation! Now I can re-steem with more confidence!👍
