Curating content that bring views to Steemit - From Reddit. Step by step guide for "whales" and "dolphins".

planetenamek (63) · 7 years ago (edited)

I really like this initiative. Moreover the referencing on Google also has an enormous impact.

Look at the number of views of this article --> https://steemit.com/scam/@thegrinder/the-bitconnect-scam-exposed , it's pretty impressive. (300K views ++ It's a good thing you voted for him, by the way.)

And of course he's number one on research: Bitconnect Scam

I noticed this when I realized that one of my articles was still getting between 150 and 200 views a day, months after its publication. --> https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@planetenamek/delete-all-your-messages-discord-even-your-dm-without-software (16.5K views)

And of course I wrote an article in French, about the referencing Steem offers --> https://steemit.com/fr/@planetenamek/profitez-vous-du-referencement-steemit

I don't have time to translate it into English but if a Steemians wants to do it I give him all the rights to do the translation ;-) .

Yeah, and that impressive 300K views ++ article only has $58 SBD as a reward, most of it coming from ONE upvote.

Which became something like $19 SBD for the author. After shares and whynot.

I am seeing on top of the trending a FREAKING "LIST OF REASONS WHY THIS PLACE DOES NOT SUCK THAT MUCH" earning ALMOST $2,000 SBD with 4,000 views.

So... why would i spend a minute "getting more views" for my posts, again?

All parameters must be taken into consideration. If you are writing an article and you think it will bring value to the network or benefit many people, consider including links in this article that redirect to other publications of yours.

You can also embed links to your own website to convert a player into a subscriber or customer. There are many things you can do to optimize the reach of an item beyond the rewards received on Steemit.

The purpose of the article I left in my previous comment (in French) ,is to make understand that the referencing of steemit.com is very powerful. And that we must act knowingly, because even a $2,000 article that would make millions of views would not be paid enough.

To be well referenced on Google some are ready to pay crazy sums. Here, with steemit we have the chance to send our articles in the top results Google without paying 1 cent.

It is really up to us to take into consideration all that this ecosystem has to offer and make the most of it. Voting is only one aspect of this whole ecosystem, Steem goes far beyond that :-)

Pay the bots, we are not left with any other option anymore. This is good for people who are not into ass kissing of whales during meetups and fests. ;)

Bots are a blessing for rich, but a curse for the poor.

Iv made 100z of posts commenting on how can we change this issue and make steemit a better platform again, unfortunately, 98% of the whales are not bothered as long as they are making bucks. Currently steemit is just like the governments and central banks, just for the elites.

So either we live with this or leave steemit.

Many new comers are leaving steemit for this reason. Some of my friends are writers who write for news papers and mags, i showed them the trending page, and all they did was laughed, never joined. No wonder there are hardly any steemians from my city mumbai...lol.

Im here as iv been into financial markets ever since collage, now also into crypto trading since 2.5 years and interested in blockchain, conspircies and geopolitics.

Happy Steeming.

Every time there is something new that revolutionizes the way people see the world, there is going to be some backlash. I don't remember what the name of the person was, but there's a story that the person who created the device that allows people to communicate over radio frequencies was told to go to a mental asylum by his friends because they didn't believe it was possible. There will alwyas be backlash until the revolution is seen as "normal" and accepted by others. Crypto won't really be accepted as "normal", in my opinion, until big corporations and companies accept it. But then again, crypto is disrupting their playing field. So it may be difficult for that to happen since they have so much power.

I would partly disagree. I dont think its only about a new technology being troubled either by its own design or by people who opose it. I think the facinating question is - as I understand: Is steemit realy a new social innovation, or is it a new technology reproducing the patterns and mechanisms of the conventional technologies? And this power relationship here on steemit seems to not be any different from other power relationships. At the very least there is established doubt, that this social platform at this moment is not so unique as I thought it is. The technology for sure, but the interaction modells of people here not so much.

Hi @transisto, we recently started a witness on a platform which should, I believe, please you (because it's in the common interest of all steemians). We plan to not only run a server (that's the minimum requirement) but to focus on:

getting great content (from outside) on Steemit (Busy, etc.)
spurring adoption of steem as a performant blockchain back-end for business projects (which should greatly increase the status and reputation of Steemit outside the small world of crypto enthusiasts)
working locally with BitStamp and bitFlyer Europe (both based in Luxembourg) in order to get STEEM quoted (against fiat) on at least one of these exchanges

The full witness application is here

I've noticed that you not only have an empty slot for a witness but among the 29 you approve there's "roadscape" which is a "long absent" witness.

Thanks for considering our application and maybe giving us your approval

How can we bring new users on the platform, when there is nothing for them. I invited hundreds of people to try steemit, and each of them soon left the platform saying content creation is of no use here. Paid votes is the only way.
I promote steem as I believe in the project, but can harldy do so cause of present situation.

Hey @transisto, that is a very good one approach. I have a few others in mind like searching on google for steem and steemit, to appear in the recommended search options of other people when they type 'S' in the search bar, or like writing short how to tutorials that will drive new people here. I found a lot of good posts about these things on Steemit and I was happy to see them here by just searching on google.

On another note, can I ask you to take a look at this if you had the time, and at least pass the ideas to @haejin. He won't read my words as I am nobody here, but you have a louder voice. Of course, if you find anything useful there. I have dedicated almost all of my free time to this place, and I would hate to see others not treating it as it should be treated...

My son (@cmp2020) and I founded the @classical-music account, the #classical-music tag, and Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page with this sort of thinking. I don't keep up with it as much as I should, but @bengy has joined our efforts, launched the @classical-radio account, and helped grow the tag into a budding little community.

I would encourage whales and dolphins to also look at the articles we share on the Facebook page. (which are usually not our own. We share them to promote steemit, not ourselves).

While i agree that doing as you suggest is a great idea, i disagree on who should be doing it.
Instead, i would suggest idling vests in excess of 100mv until the community grows enough that oulier accounts stop having such an outsized impact on who is allowed to grow.
(This parameter can be adjusted as the community grows.)
The crossection of golden boys is too incestuous for my tastes.
I prefer the broader distribution giving smaller accounts a bigger vote will bring.
I personally dont manually vote many posts that have more then 1sbd in payout, and adjust my steemvoter to 1% on well paid accounts i want to follow.

I also see why you would be against this change.
