STEEM FAMILY ENCOURAGEMENT! I know how it feels some days out there brothers & sisters. Let us encourage one another.

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Many new people and veteran Steemians are here daily. Some posts do well, other days, not as much. I remember when my post first started to make a few dollars and I was so thankful, and for the help and support along the way.

Then awhile back we had the Hard Fork and for weeks, we had to refill the reward pool, and payouts dropped. Many people left the platform or at least for awhile, discouraged about this or that.

I decided hearing that news to dig in harder, blog even MORE - despite some of the issues. I have questioned some of the stuff here at times, lost support by people who look the other way at things, and I lost support and that is fine, I don't really like people like that anyways who are self centered or 1% focused.

I posted this around that time months ago and I will post this again.

I came for the crypto learning and community, and found friends and rewards apart from earning actual Crypto $ here.


Just. Keep. Blogging.


Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

I am headed offline early tonight, my headaches are often bad with my injuries. I wrote this thinking of you and a few others and the new people in crypto, I hope you feel encouraged today.

I will see you all on the morrow. Please talk amongst yourselves here, meet a new person, read their comments, Resteem this to encourage others, none of us are getting out alive family.

Good nite friends.

Uhh, I have migraine. I totally feel you. Hope you will get better soon. Sleeping and a silent dark room helps.

I always sleep in the dark LOL.

Seriously though, it is important and I tell people to do the same if I see them dealing with similar stuff, thanks alot.

Hopefully you can do away with all your headaches someday.

Dude that would be sweet. I was in such pain last nite again, I just pasted that message into my reply, pinned it at the top and got off as quickly as I could, I try to not let it bother me but some days it is just too much.

You get my vote at 100% @barrydutton.
It is important for people to understand that we always have to keep steeming. Especially after hardforks. We do have many new Steemians and we need to be sensitive to the fact that it is NEVER as easy as it looks on Steemit and the best advise that you can give anyone (old or new) is not to give up! Keep Steeming!

Thanks RR.

  • I was in such pain last nite again, I just pasted that message into my reply, pinned it at the top and got off as quickly as I could, I try to not let it bother me but some days it is just too much.

I was thinking of your CC services y-day running into someone's mom who is suffering, so if they need your help, will send them your way, I told them about you and some of my other friends who deal with that issue for pain relief.

Obv. I will not discuss it much on here.

Have a good night, thanks again.

No doubt. Yesterday was a major migraine /pain day for folks. I saw to many. :(
I thought today was actually worse. Hopefully the pressure will break tomorrow. Hang in there Barry. Cold and dark may provide a change that will let sinuses and veins drain. Send anyone my way. I'm happy to help. I wish you peace. ;)

Good comment . As per my above comment, I needed this advice too!

Just hang-in there @aineyann! Everybody wins when we work together. People's posts are getting buried quickly these days because we have had and influx of new Steemians and existing Steemians posting like crazy after the hardfork a week ago. We are all adjusting to what this "now" means for us, in terms of how the platform will work under these new conditions. :)

thank you for the encouragement. It's one of those lessons in life, if we don't succeed, try try again. It's good for our minds, at least , to keep thinking creatively.
Thank You :]

That is pretty funny stuff there thanks LOL!!!

Well said RR.

You are right steemit is not easy but if you are lucky, things will become easy.

Everyone FULL STEEM AHEAD!!!! And buy a piece of Steem Island if you'd like!

That's the truth. If you aren't getting the results you want, try harder. The people who are really successful on SteemIt have either been around for awhile, like 6 months to a year, or they brought a following they already had from sites like YouTube Twitter and Reddit. Sometimes it's your content that requires more effort but mostly it seems outreach/community involvement are key. Comment from the heart, reply to others comments. Upvote comments on your posts and don't just get yourself out there on SteemIt. Use SteemIt as a base, always do your actual posting here, always link back to it but be sure to advertise your posts on sites like twitter and reddit. Also the SteemIt Telegram group as well as the SteemIt Chat promotion groups are great places to not only post your work but discover great posts by others also looking to grow their network. Nothing inspires someone to upvote your work more then you upvoting their work as well. Pretty much everyone will follow you back as well and if they really like your post and it's relevant to their blog they'll re-steem you as well. I also make a point of sharing posts I have Re-Steemed on my twitter, facebook and linkedin pages. The more you give the more you get.

Great input today, that is a great reply by you.

If you enjoyed this then.....

Oh and if you do not mind, my post from today......Most Canadian thing you might read all year? LOL

https://steemit.com/life/@barrydutton/well-today-is-canada-s-150th-birthday-here-in-canadastan-the-government-fails-humanity-daily-but-team-together-everyone-achieves

I will check it out. I grew up on the New York State border of Canada, so i'm practically canadian myself. I know this because even though I left NY 20 years ago, I still say "eh" all the time.

It's very true, I have been saying that to the border town folks I know or meet along life.....

Like Michigan, Minnesota, Seattle and your NYS peeps near us, you are right!

You REALLY need to check out my Canadastan Day post from y-day then!!!!

Honestly!!!!

Followed.

Because like we are basically the same eh?

LOL

Thanks for taking time for my post today.

hey thanks my brother. I will be sure to check out your Canadastan post. now lets go grab a beer and watch some hockey eh? ha just remembered the old joke about how they came up with the name Canada.... They put a bunch of letters in a hat then someone drew

C, eh

N, eh

D, eh

LOL

LOL

This is so true when we spend a lot of effort ad brain power on a post and dont get the rewards we expect it can be disheartning. For me, i need to start believing " good things come to those who wait " I would love to get 100$ on at least one post LOL! But if i do I will value it more :) . Somedays I fall out with steemit ( for like 10 mins, when I reach for the laptop again!,haha)

Ha haha just keep on believing like me I still believe I can get $10 someday the sooner the better keep believing.my friend! ;)

I know that feeling, only too well!! haha!!

I remember getting up to $1 on a post and that was awesome, I remember it well!

Yes I do even now I still felt happy to have $1 reward for my not so.... post my feeling is high hahaha at least they noticed my post. Wheennnn can I have a bigger reward????? Steem on!!!! :)

hahahahaha that pikachu comforting, excellent 😭

Fun stuff!!!!

thank you for supporting the steemit community, i really do think one day that steem could hit 100$, great platform and I dont see why people would stop using it

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

Great post, appreciate the love and support for the community! I love how STEEMIT is all about being positive and helping everyone, almost the exact opposite of EVERY other social media site.

I KNOW THAT FEEL BRO! haha

LOL, right, the FEELS is something I talk about regularly!!

go for the FEELS and get people to respond haha

If you are reading this –Have a wonderful day!

Thanks, i see a lot of people they come, they don't make money and they leave, it's sad, it's just the way it works i guess, some people have high expectations or Yuuug expectations :) thanks for posting.

Yep, my short time here I have already seen that a few times. I had to unfollow some as they seem to be going into a death spiral of just spam blogs with a single picture and little text. If they would been nice, I would have at least shared what information I have gathered that would have help a little bit.

Great post and great attitude @barrydutton! This is an amazing community and I feel lucky that I found this place and that I'm meeting people and getting back into writing again. Writing is something I always loved but felt I had to take my focus away from it because it wasn't something that a person could really make money at. Not that I'm making huge amounts of steem here...at this point anyways :) but it's great to have found a community and a system that really puts value to good content. I see a great world of opportunity to be a part of continuing to build and expand a great community and have fun in the process!

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

good work. Advise others

I needed to here this. It came at a good time. Thank you for caring.

Hey friend, it is NP....glad to hear it helped someone!

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

Hei baery i also told about steemit to my friends....
They tell me that this is a very good way to start for a blogger.....
Thank you for sharing ......resteemed bro.....it really feels good......
Wish u all the very best for ur future posts......

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

It is kind of funny, hardfork17 or 18 (not sure which) filled us with gloom but hardfork19 filled us with optimism, that's why quitting isn't good, whichever way things turn out.

@gduran.....Annnnnd the rewards pool is drained again by all the same people and problems.........

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I know, but I am getting more money now, and with less votes as less people are upvoting me, but it was foreseeable that those with more power would profit more, I am ok with it, I really just write some article and I get some money for it, the fact that you or someone else (doens't matter who) makes 100x what I make really doesn't bother me. Steem has never been about the quality of the posts but the quantity and quality of the voters, so I can reasonably expect to make a lot of money on one post because a couple of whales like the title, I am not a good writer so that is my best hope.

This is true, but now after the hard-fork many older steemians are lost and forgotten....I've heard of a few people that are actually planning to give up after months and months of hard work...we are the forgotten ones...ha ha ha!

It is happening, I know.

I have lost a lot of votes and support on here.

The odd big payout does not indicate ongoing support, I know what you are saying.

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!
Blessings to you!!

It is a Kingdom Principle.

TY for commenting today my friend.

KIngdom is my Language!!
Be Blessed!!

Thank you for your encouraging words.
I hope that your headache gets better 😊

Thanks Rose!

Drop by my posts anytime my friend.

Just keep at it and post original content.

Wonderful encouragement, Barry, and a good attitude to have in life overall. Life isn't always perfect or fair but to be able to extrapolate the good in things and the lessons is a true gift. This platform and community has much to teach.

Good times man, it is always super to hear from you my man.

Honestly appreciate you so much.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure!

Barry's middle name is A-bro-ham. Good post bro. :)

How did I miss this information!

This is quite witty, but we expect this from you, it is barry barry good of you to support my posts!

(:

informative. following

Yes, some days I want to just dig a hole and play with the earth worms. I havent yet decided if it is one of those days yet... but its close

Digging holes can be fun! I hope whatever is troubling you goes away like a shadow disappearing to the sun.

Amen. Gangster00 is a good dude.

Thanks a bunch buddy. Appreciate the effort in your response, it helped. Its a new day and im ready to rock. Steem on

Thanks for the support and commenting again today!!

If a person is willing to Steem for free, they just may be surprised at how much the universe rewards them.

Exactly Tim.

I have been glad to see your name again on here lately, good stuff, I say again.

Highly rEsteemed Bruv.
Imgur

To be Frank with you, I really appreciate that and hearing from you!

Lets just hope that the large influx of new users will not just sleep after finding out that they are not gaining. Hope that they have the heart and intentions like ours, stay and keep posting whatever happens.

Like I said, here I know how it feels, we really can do more together.

TY for commenting today......

Oh and if you do not mind, my post from today......Most Canadian thing you might read all year? LOL

Hey nice to hear from you!

My reply windows keep disappearing, so frustrating, type stuff out and then gone lately....

You put a lot of energy into encouraging and supporting the community, and it is much appreciated!! It's awesome to see you rewarded for your efforts, Barry!

I have been AFK a lot the last day again, thanks Sara, you are one of the beauts on here inside and out. You are a blessing.

It is an honor to be of service 🙏
