I probably lost too many people in my initial impression with this mistake to even consider going on with the blog. I noticed this video "back to camp" has maybe 3 upvotes. As to where yesterday I had over 300 on my intro vid.
The mistake I made was posting on 3speak, not realizing how it's tied in with Peakd, then going over to a Peakd community, posting there and checking the "post in blog also" box.
Then I took a look at my "all posts" and noticed the overkill.
I found out tbe proper way is to add the community on the 3speak side, in the drop down, which was coming down too slow for me to notice, then do nothing else after that.
It's not always about how many people mate, it's about who they are.
I believe you can save it, otherwise I'd not bother replying to you, and I hope you decide to push on. This isn't the sort of place where instant success, and gazillions of dollars, flow quickly though, you have to build it. That will mean posting really well and engaging with other people (meaningfully) ontheir posts.
I have another community (three actually) and if you like, you can take a look at the posting guide I wrote in one of them which may help you create your posts a little better, it's community specific but I think works generally also. Here is the link: https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@galenkp/the-weekend-community-a-posting-guide
In respect of posting, I only ever use peakd although I know there's some issues with others. I think people don't realise it's all liked on the Hive blockchain and will appear there, no matter where you post. You're not the first. Shake it off, have a rethink and push on, like any good woodsman would.
Right on. I will. And I know what you're saying is right. I really like the platform and the concept.
I've been around computers off and on since the 80's and this technology is pretty darned fascinating to say the least.
Thanks for the words of encouragement.
No worries mate, I'm happy to help. As I said in another comment, sometimes these things go really badly for the new user, ego, pride and hubris get in their way, but you've been good about it and I think you'll want to learn, to develop and progress. It speaks highly of you.
I'll keep an eye on you and don't forget to ask me questions if you have them, I might not immediately know the answer, but I'll know people who will.
