RE: Minnows! Lets Change the Reward Pool!

in #steemit7 years ago

Good point, I think somehow we think if we vote for the whales they will vote for us. Which is probably almost never the case. Best is to write sensible meaningful comments on their posts and try to get them to follow you...Have a great day!!!

Sort:  

I think it is more effective on the dolphins. They usually dont have this huge of a following and most of them engage more with their followers.

But I think your approach is right. If you want to succeed $$ wise you should focus on brining value to the whales and so much that they cant ignore you anymore.

If you just want to express yourself, well... you dont need them.

Yeah you are making a great point here. Now, I am curious what would bring value to the whales. Best way to find out is ask them I guess. Find them and ask them. You know any?

No, unfortunately not.

But in my opinion, it is the same what brings the most value to every post which are genuine comments, upvotes and resteems in this order.

I feel my posts are most appricated when sombody comments on it and showed he/she really read it. As whales are humans, too I think it will be the same for them.

But when you look how many comments they get, it will get hard to be noticed. This is not so much the case if you focus on the hot tab of a topic you are interested in. (I dont really like new sooo much till there is so much nonsense posted, which I understand is a problem for minnows to get out of there)

Of course an upvote is nice and so is a resteem but there I think you have to watch out to not overdo it and that the content you are resteeming is kind of similar to your own to not annoy or irritate your following.

I am still new here also so take my 2 cents with caution.

Yea, getting noticed is the difficult part. I read some highly undervalued posts that offer compelling content from consistent authors that just seem to be lost in the dust...

Good point... thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day!

Before I forget... can I ask you a huge personal favour @flipstar?

well...depends what it is

Who do you know right now that is a whale?

https://steemwhales.com/ you can just check here.

Well said. That is a much better way to get the whales to notice you, while using your upvotes for the little guys :)

Thanks. I think my best upvote so far was for a comment. If I remember correctly it was around 33 USD. Are you a little guy or a whale?

Oh I'm tiny. lol. I celebrate my two month Steemitversary next week ;)

Good luck, have a great day!

Thank you, you as well! Great talking with you :)

Have a great day! Following you.

Thanks- and ditto :)

I hope your day is awesome!
