RE: List of low ranked and inactive witnesses

I hope this gets fixed because new users such as myself get motivated with a few extra here and there, and get easily discouraged when something they worked on for four hours gets .4 payout.

Is it possible that, in the future, new users get extra bonus "newbie"payout for the first 3 months or so. And maybe extra delegated HP for the same time frame?

There are problems with this.
If you do so then that means anyone can create hundreds of account just to get that newbie bonus.

Good point. That is a possibility. The rewards have to be greater than the time and effort to create multiple accounts, but if isn't maybe it won't be worth it. So the alternative is for newbies to continue creating content that gets attention and hope that one day there will be an audience who will appreciate the work they have put in.

I've been there when I started two years ago. Writing great content is not enough because people might not even see your content. You need to actively participate in communities, do quality engagement with other users etc... Also not everyone has time to read stuffs every day so don't expect them to do so but at least you get your name out there and when they have time to do something they might look out for you. It takes time tho.

I hear you, @quochuy. The main thing is to elevate the level of engagement with people. It's true here on HIVE as it is on the outside. We have already seen this play out in other social media, so I guess hard work and, to use another word, networking and self-marketing might elevate the post rewards, even for new users. Put simply: there is no free lunch.

Pro tip: People hate their feeds being flooded with reblogs, however, if you crosspost to their communities they like that better, some of them.

Keep creating real content and your audience will find you.
Then you will get autovotes, and downvotes if you do really well.

No reason the content I saw on your page won't fly here, you just gotta get out and be socialble.

That's a real pro tip @antisocialist. I've never tried crossposting to a community before. I will try it out and see how it goes. I do love to create my own content, 'real content' as you say. And, I'm a sociable guy on social media, so...

Thanks for the advice. Have a nice day and keep safe. :)

No short cuts to fame here.
You gotta get out and comment so people know you are here.

The rewards will fix themselves once the largest voting accounts decide to let somebody else have some.
Until then, this is what we get.

I agree. I understand that I need to work my ass of to be able to gain some traction and get notoced by people. The same here as in other platforms, there is no shortcut to success. Thanks for the reply.
