Dear @klye
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for your reply. I really appreciate that you're so very responsive.
I've actaully been a witness for a number of years now and was once rank #7!
Wow. I'm already impressed! How did you manage to achieve it with account having only 1k SP? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seem to me that each witness is also a solid STEEM.
I wish to accrue enough SP stake in order to have decent upvotes for users who show a good ability to create decent content
Fair enough. Are you planning to power up or hoping to receive some solid delegations? (I found it very hard to convince anyone to delegate any decent amount of SP).
I also wanted to make some suggestion.
My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.
This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.
Please let me know what do you think.
Cheers, Piotr
I was extremely active in the politics of STEEM early on and made a name for myself with my MS-paint art and by being responsive(like you mention). The reason my SP is so low is because i started living beyond my means and ended up getting flooded by bills, which in turn lead to me having to power down in order to keep up. Also bought myself a car and a computer.. That kind of stuff.
As for accruing a greater stake the goal is to earn it by my witness position, posting and also perhaps powering up my commission earnings from Steem-roller.com as finances permit. Currently in a state of rebuilding my prior prestige and position here on STEEM.
I 100% agree with you that a lot of good content on Steemit simply floats by unnoticed and I highly appreciate you offering to read my posts pertaining to the mentioned topics and helping to promote them. If I write something decent I'll be sure to send you the link in a memo or something along those lines. :)
Thanks for the thoughtful and interesting reply / questions.
Cheers man,
KLYE
