similar to you, i was doing content on youtube and earlier this yr they came up with this ridiculous requirement of 10,000hr views and 1000 subs to enable monetization. And just abt time i get to know steemit, hell to youtube and i started shifting all the energy and focus on steemit as i see the potential how everyday ppl even an average joe can produce income with steemit with the right strategy and effort. I also stop instagram for awhile too.
It was until recently, i thought hey, why i have to stop using them ? they are still majority and popular and i still produce content, why not keep using them to for distribution/reach to get more attention and directly/indirectly some may get to know about steemit and it's potential to create a source of income themselves.
That when i saw steempress awesome idea ! was using it together with a few other tools to automate posts to steemit. Quite alot of effort and configuration work to do. Then came the game changer @share2steem ! SUPER easy to share and earn !
if i have 121 million followers like @therock on instagram i would do a subtle post (like you mentioned a clever referral) to them add value to them instantly literally ! they dont even have to buy steem to earn.
But the steemit account creation is a pain/barrier to get external @steemit users onboard. With the current RC system it helps by giving dapps the power of account creation, for new dapps like @sharesteem SP is still low to churn out (about 1-2 every 5 days)and make significant claim account for new users who want to try out. Thanks to @wehmoen soon s2s can have support from @oracle-d to activate some of their claim accounts.
PS:
I even used those auto-liking bots back in the days and met a lot of hot chicks who private messaged me because I liked their pics...OK, but that's reserved for another story and I'm not that kind of guy.
haha i m all ears for tat stories man haha. Please share the auto-liking bots maybe my bro can get use it to get more engagement with gers.
Instagram killed those now but I think FollowAdder is still around - kind of a pain to configure but once you figure it out it works. HF20 was supposed to fix that onboarding new users issue but it actually made it worse! New people can't even interact or have a voice here.
thanks will go check it out. Is there similar bot here on steemit like auto follow ? i saw ppl with 5 figures followers but low engagement
Yeah HF20 'suppose to' guess it's gonna take them awhile. I m see dapps claiming lots of accounts and hopefully the account creation process via dapps for new users will be a easier one compare to the past. After that it's the RC issue for activities haha
btw i just noticed you already used tipu bot too and you used all the major big bots on this posts. =\I wanted to contribute 5sbd to promo too but guess too late. i wanted to try @ocdb but i think they only allow whitelist user.
I will just trf you the 5SBD, you can use it on your next post =). If you may next s2s promotion posts =)
