I know I'm not the only one who dislikes the term followers.. But hey. It is what it is I guess.
Figured I'd make a lil update post like a lot of people do on here when they reach a certain amount of followers. And.. I'd like to request mutual follows as well!
So far I've been here around a month I think.. Made a lil over 100$ which isn't great compared to many people, but.. I think it's pretty neat.. Especially cause I never made a cent on Facebook over like 6 years of posting like that.
Plus most of the people I've met have been pretty awesome.
I'm enjoying my time here, I've pulled at least 5-10 people over from Facebook to steemit and every time I have a post that makes at least like $10.. I make a post on Facebook to show people and remind people and to continue to try to drag them away from Facebook.. Cause I personally want to see something better take its place, something that rewards the users more.
Regardless of the monetary incentive, steemit allows me to reach a bunch of people I never would have probably reached before. So I'm enjoying just talking to a bunch of new people and sharing with them. Plus this platform is less censored.. I've had a bunch of stuff censored and been banned on Facebook before.
My minor complaint is, I'd like to see more profile individualization which I've mentioned before and so have others, like profile pictures and stuff to set yourself a part more like cover photos and such.
My major complaint, is this "transaction broadcast error" thing.. This thing has plagued me since the beginning. Oftentimes it won't let me post, unless I do weird acrobatics with the text and move it all around or shorten it, or if I just wait like minutes or hours or a day, usually it will eventually go through.
Super frustrating at times but hey.. I'm still here and using steemit. It's not so bad I've quit. Though I hope they can figure out what it is, or someone can help me with some kind of solution.. So far no one has been able to and I've made a few posts about it and searched google quite a bit on other peoples threads to try to find out and haven't found much.
By the way.. Anyone who follows me I will follow back. You don't have to leave a comment cause I tend to look through my list from time to time and follow anyone back who followed me, but it helps if you do leave a comment, I will follow you much quicker and I won't miss it.
If you don't follow me back, I'll probably eventually unfollow you at some point, nothing personal. Right now I'm interested in doing mutual follows and keeping my number close to even.
I don't know if this is the best strategy, but I've seen quite a few others do it, and as someone more interested in reaching people than making money.. It seems like the way to go..
Hmm.... And.. That's about it for now I think.. Just one more thing.
Are you out there?
I'm going to post this again here even though I just posted it recently cause I feel like it deserves more views and I need to share my artwork more often! (Especially right around the election as it's more relevant than ever)
PS.. Here's a couple other episodes of my new Vlog type thing I'm working on that I'd like to plug as well.
This one is on the election, voting and Trump or Hillary?
And this one is more of an introduction if you'd like to get to know more about me, and this one definitely covers some stuff I didn't really mention in my #introducemyself post.
PSPS I'm still pretty new to making movies, so.. Some of this is a bit crude! Though I'm working at it and doing my best with what I know and have! :)
