Hi, I am Juliane from Germany. I am totally disappointed by the tricks of upvote system.
It's not been a long time, since since I have joined at steemit. But here all system is totally fu**ed up. If someone write like " hay I am mr X and you?" and buy some upvote, he will earn money. Also it depends on how much steem power you have. That means if you invest money, you will get return.
In case of new user like us, investing money and buying upvote won't work because we need a huge amount of steem power and at least 160% of return from upvote. Reality is we have nothing. So there is no chance that new account will make money from here.
Do you know how upvote system works? I saw some account invested million dollars and their upvote worth is mone that 150$ dollar. But if you send some money like 10$, they will give you an upvote worth of 10-12$ dollar. But here is interesting thing. You will get only 80% to 90% of that money depending on your Steem Power. For new user with a few steem power will not be benefited. However I would say, there is no value of good content here. Only things that makes difference here money.
I am loosing my patience to work at steemit.
Hi Juliane,
I think the problem are the people that are new to steemit think they will get a lot of money for posting. In a sense, that's true too. But like everywhere in life, it's all about the content that you publish. Find something the people here are curious about. Start your own format here, be yourself and be patient. I've took a look at your profile, well... I'm sorry to say that, but there is nothing that gives me a value to upvote your posts.
You're writing that you are doing my MS at Technical University of Munich, you are working as research assistant and you plan to attend a Ph.D. program in you welcome post. Well, what is about writing about scientific or technical stuff when you are interested in it? Take a look at steemSTEM or the German de-stem. Give the community something special that they find interesting. Write valuable content about science or something technical.
If you want to separate this from your profession, then write about one of your hobbies or about your passion?
Another tip is to use the right hashtags. Here are people from all over the world, so it is not useful to write about the Berlin Beer Festival with hashtags that would be read by only about 1% of the German users here.
How about a nice visit report from the Berlin Beer Festival with a lot of nice pictures, and a readable text? Maybe also in the German language, that you reach the people that would be interested in? I think that this would be much more valuable than posting the opening hours and the adress of it.
Don't write about how to catch a girl, you can find posts like this all over the internet. And also don't call other girls stupid (Unlike other girls, German girls are well educated), it does not sound good and makes other people think that you find yourself and or the German girls better than other ones.
Yes, you can buy upvotes to get shitposts upvoted and to get around that back that you have invested. But what will be if you stop with buying upvotes? Right, your post will earn much less than the posts from people that have formed/be part of the community and write valuable content. You do not need to vilify the purchased upvotes. You could also use it for your benefit, everyone is free to decide it by itself.
I hope I was not too hard on you right now.
We can talk more about it, but then please in German :-)
Greetings

Hi Juliane. I've written a lot of content about Steem and how to make it work...which doesn't require bid bots or buying votes.
I'd like to invite you to not give up on Steem quite yet-there is so much happening on here right now you're going to be disappointed if you leave!
