Why don’t you start the magazine on your own, and then be so good they can’t ignore you? Who needs whales to start projects on Steem? If you have the skills you mentioned, you’d be better than a lot of whales here 😉🤙
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Because that actually requires effort and consistency. And it is also hard to outsource as lazyass @yallapapi wants to do.
I agree with you
So how would one get involved?
Making some noise right from the start, being unique and clear (not being the hundredth blogger who posts a bit of everything), finding your niche (see uniqueness), interacting (commenting and curating) on a daily basis, constantly building your own community of like-minded people around you, not asking what steemit can do for you but what you can do for the network, joining the relevant Discord channels and: not complaining after an entire first month of low earnings :-)
It's a full-time involvement, but it can be fun!
Oh, there are no complaints from me. Having really started only a week ago, I'm completely happy with my progress. But that's secondary. I've learned so much by writing posts for Steemit that I would have not learned or only skimmed over. Regardless of what happens, thisnis a great tool for so many and a great way to get outside of self and help others by providing new information and a different perspective. I really appreciate your advice too. I think I was starting to fall into the "little bit of everything" trap you speak of. You have definitely inspired me to stick to my niche. So thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to using and givinfo to this platform. It's going to be a great adventure.
That sounds as if the Steem bug had caught you - nice! :-)
Of course, the learning curve is extremely high, especially in the very beginning. If you absorbe everything like a sponge, you'll be doing progress and see the impact very fast. There's a saying that money follows passion and not the other way around :-)
Enjoy the great adventure though!
PS: With regards to your second comment, many community builders have created chatrooms on discord to interact directly with their members. Here's an invitation link to the DLive server for you: https://discord.gg/F4B68H. If you're into video content, you should definitely check dlive.io (it's another app built on the Steem blockchain, so the videos you upload there are automatically displayed on steemit.com).
Thank you so much for your uplifting words. I think what you and now I am involved in is very important. My hope is that we can over come the centralized platform like twitter FB and so on. I've always been very passionate about my niche but have decided to put it to use finally. Thank you so much for your time again.
My pleasure!
The future is decentralized.
And one question if you don't mind. What is a discord channel? Someone else mentioned it but wouldn't define it when I asked and I can't find a clear description anywhere on the net.
I like the way you think AND the fact that @yallapapi always has something going on. The man's brain is a loading-dock of success!

thank you dear .@nameless-berk
Good question.
I played with the numbers of getting a paid delegation from Minnowbooster and was unable to come up with anything that was profitable enough to be worth my time and financial investment.
I supposed I could start the "slow" way and just put up 10x posts a day anyway. Probably would be worth it in the long run. Who knows, maybe I'll still do it. But to spend all that time editing/connecting with writers for a questionable payoff in the future is not really appealing, even with all the benefits that would come from being a content factory.
I actually never thought about just doing it without either buying Steem or leasing a delegation until just now. Let me mull it over. We'll see.
You could do a magazine ICO? How much do you need to raise? You could put every magazine on the blockchain and all holders get airdropped an edition every week with higher investors being rewarded with special gifts and bonus material.
Brilliant. You’re hired
agreed x100. just start making it. if you build it they will come
I've started all of my projects on Steem by myself. Also if you have the money to push your article to the first trending position, why would you need to ask for funds in order to implement a creative idea...? :-))
Because for me to push my own post to the Trending page is not a risk. I get to build my own brand and get my message out there.
Creating an account that upvotes itself with a leased delegation is a massive risk, one that I'd prefer someone else bankroll.
Don't you believe that excessive vote buying can harm your brand, too?
The majority of followers you generate through paid trending positions, will never start interacting with you on a regular basis, since they didn't begin to follow you for what you do (being like-minded people that have a true interest in being part of your community) but for your ranking.
You can actually do a test: publish an article and don't boost it at all. Then check how many of your ~3,800 followers really engage with you through quality comments :-)
Only organic growth is sustainable, especially when it comes to community building. That's at least my personal experience from almost two years on steemit. Even though this is a rule that applies for many other market segments.
Well, everybody has to find their own way..:-)
All the best for yours!
Because it's a HUGE effort, and I know, because I've done it.
Well, that's life I guess. Nothing worth having comes easy :-)
well come dear .@fitzgibbon
