Steemit is not only about UPVOTES.

in steemit •  7 years ago 


Why don't you get UPVOTES?

UPVOTES are a function of both the quality of the posts
and your popularity on Steemit..

However good your posts are, not many people will see them,
and never you can expect how many UPVOTES will get..

Don't post with an expectation of UPVOTES..
Just write..

Put a lot of effort into your posts..
Steemit is not only about UPVOTES..

It is about writing..
It is about reading..
It is about knowing people and their side of the story..
It is about learning..
It is about finding a path to follow..
It is about keeping yourself motivated to write better..
It is about broadening your thinking..
It is about spending your time productively..
It is about making you think from a different perspective..
It is about writing without any expectations of UPVOTES..

Keep blogging..
You Are Never Left Alone

Upvotes and rewards are important but it is not all about them. Who would be here if there weren't rewards. But we found a great community, awesome people and we developed new skills on this network! So it is not all about money ;)

Well said :)

Thank you!

"we found a great community, awesome people and we developed new skills on this network!"

Thanks for great support

Thanks for this post! Your thoughts are very true. I have seen so many people come and go here, because of several reasons. The main reason is they cant produce good content over a long period of time. Finally, they have no more ideas. But you have it! Greetings from Munich to Romania.

Thanks for nice words and your great support
Have a great weekend

I totally agree with you. The rewards are a nice "thank you" gift, for the valuable contribution you have published. Upvotes are nevertheless important for Steemit. Upvotes get Steemit alive!

Thank you for this post, @lordoftruth !

Yes you are right..
Your good comment was upvoted as a small gift for you..
Keep blogging..

You are correct, but if you don't get any upvotes. And you put lots of time in your writing there is no fun in it. So everyday I try to search for some really new members with great quality in their posts to upvote them... I consider it like "paying it forward"...

I agree fully with you..
Is not fun..
If you read the comment of @dumar022 ( one of our great steemains)
"Who would be here if there weren't rewards."
I am sure if you keep blogging and you come up with good content,
the time will come and you will be visible..
Your comment was upvoted to have fun..
Thank you..

Well thanks for the "fun" and the quite substantial upvote! But I mean what I say, if we all search for a few "rough diamonds" in this rubble of rocks, it's fun for everyone!

Totally agreed with you @lordoftruth..😊
Blockchain is not only for making money.. I think we can talk and recognise people in the worldwide..
I found your previous article and realized that you are doing very creative work on steemit and followed you.. This is my first comment and upvote on your post.. I would like to keep it up..👍👌😊🤗
Cheers..🍺🍻

"Blockchain is not only for making money.."

I agree fully with you..
Thanks for nice words..
Thanks also for support..
Happy to have IT Professional as follower..
Steem on..

Indeed..😊
Thank you so much for your support on my blog.. Steem on..👌👍🍻

Yes, ideally that should be the spirit. The problem is many people come here for the sake of making money only. Many think it as an another online avenue to earn money and some unemployed people consider it as a full-time work opportunity. It's only our higher expectations which disappoint us.

Always try comparing the value of content generated by you here vis a vis other platforms. If you think other platforms pay you better, you should better go there. If you are here then enjoy the game 😊! Let's play it for fun!

Thanks for comment
Small upvote for you to have fun

@lordoftruth,
"It is about writing without any expectations of UPVOTES.." you are absolutely correct my dear friend! Thanks for sharing such inspirational post with us! I do posting not only for upvotes! But if I get a vote, yeah I like it too :D

Cheers~

Well Done
You are in the right way
Keep going
Full steem ahead

@lordoftruth,
Full steem ahead, yeah I saw it in most of my dreams :D Hope one day it will be true! But I want to give a true value to the community for earn that reward!

Cheers~

So true, rather than worrying about recieving , u have to first worry about giving , I think the more value u put towards the content and effort the more u will get . Good advice :-)

" rather than worrying about recieving , u have to first worry about giving"
I love it..
Thanks for great comment..

Great truth you speak of lord. I have been on Steemit a total of 10 days, and love it . The truth is when I came here it wasn't for money , fame or fortune. I did not even know that Steem was a crypto currency.
I came here for personal reasons the most important of all being a place to document my thoughts for future grandchildren to look back and see what the old man had to say.
I got married later in life to beautiful young woman much younger than myself. We have four kids that are my pride and joy.
Here is the thing, my kids never new my parents as they had already passed, if my kids are like me and wait to raise a family there is a real good chance that my grand children will never meet me. By doing my Daily Dose of Sultnpapper blog there will be a written documentation of what my thoughts, opinions and values are.
So I came here for selfish reasons, money being least of all.
The community has been more than welcoming and I enjoy being a part of it and look forward to contributing to the growth and well being of the community now that I have had time to look around.
So if no person reads or up votes my work I take no offense to it, the ones who it is intended for haven't even been born yet.
Until next time,
@sultnpapper

@lordoftruth - I never write anything in post section Sir. I'm reading & reading again. Then providing a nice (I think it's nice) comment. I'm enjoying it. And in most of times resteeming too. I love it Sir. I love steemit <3 :* a life changing platform of mine <3

I luv your motivation @lordoftruth, you know some people were actually introduced to steemit with that mindset, 'post and get paid for your posts', but i actually discovered myself that its much moré than that, its about finding your passion in steemit and people will appreciate it, yea, i wrote something yesterday about people starting to see steemit as a social media, dat way dy can take thier mind off the money, and also attract other people to steemit too.. You can check my blog to read in full

Will check it soon
Thanks for support

I have met great people in steemit, and the community is growing day by day. You are totally correct , if your main aim is to get Upvotes then you loose the game.
I have developed my skills quit a lot thanks to steemit..
Cheers!

" if your main aim is to get Upvotes then you loose the game."

Thanks for support

I completely agree with you.
Steemit is not just making money by upvote but it is far more than that.
Like you get traffic for your website or a backlink that will boost google ranking
Steemit also helps in building relationship with peoples and sharing knowledge

Good point of view

Completely agree with you @lordoftruth..
I am more and avid reader than a writer.. I do post, but quite less.. But I do enjoy reading quality posts and of course upvoting based on the quality of the material. followed you & upvoted your post..

Upvote is a added value component in Steemit but it is true that is not all about upvoting. The true intention should be producing great content for the people with the right branding and marketing strategy as well as PR. It is not about writing to get upvote, asking for people to upvote. Usually, when being asked for upvote directly, people tend to be more reluctant (unless is a bot). It is more like a continuous supportive community we are building here.

Amazing
I like post you my friend

its all about creating engagement in posts and interaction :)

An upvote for that GIF only!

It's true though - Steemit can't survive on upvote and bots only. I agree with your points, however I think you forgot one important thing: community :) You have to engage with people!

Congratulations @lordoftruth

Keep the good work

Love the positive tone of your message, but I have a silly and serious question. How do I buy steem if I don't have any crypto? I have not figured out how you buy it using FRNs.

I buy using BTC
I do not know other option
Thanks for support

Can't get a better motivation that these. We should continuously give our 100% effort each day and time will come when we will be popular and get more upvotes too.

Keep going
every start is hard

Tbh, most of the posts that i consider my best never get the most amount of upvotes. What they do get is the most amount of human comments. And that's what counts - actual, human engagement. Upvotes are good, but once in a while, it's nice to have a post that creates a discussion.

Yes upvotes is good
Keep blogging
Will be fine

Agree. There is the same thing as with private business. If at the first place is getting money but not meeting the needs of customers, nothing will work good...

You are right
Thanks

I AGREE WITH YOU STEEMIT IS ABOUT INTERACTION WITH OTHERS

Thanks
Steem on

@lordoftruth, very interesting postingannya, continue to write sure someone must read it. Thank you my friend

Keep going..
Will be fine..

YEa am gonna get to work

Its all about interaction and great content!

Yes it is not all about upvotes but this becomes a concern of danger when people with high SP start exploiting the system by giving upvotes mutually even if the post has not any great value so what we should do in the context.

Well written and informative. Thank you for posting this. Steem On! :)

Very well said. Appreciated.
