Since I started Steeming in September, I have done quite a few posts. Some did well, and some not so well....BUT I really put in effort with my posts and even if I don't earn anything, I still know that there are some people out there who reads something valuable that they can use to make their lives better. My posts are mostly about personal experiences and I like to bring in some positive aspects in to every post.
Ever since I started I have felt that I was part of the community and it seems like everyone have fairly the same idea. We are all working hard to make Steemit a better platform and many of us are here for the long run. Not so much for the money but it helps a little....
I have read many posts about people leaving Steemit, because they feel undervalued and unappreciated. I have also seen many wonderful posts with no payout. Blah blah blah....and I know that you need a whale vote to actually get somewhere, but I still don't understand why that should necessarily be true.
Even though people don't make money on their posts, they keep on writing... it's like we all believe that something big is going to happen. (Which I'm sure it will at some point when the platform is totally up and running.)
BUT it is very hard to get noticed. Good content doesn't always make it, and that is not fair. If I could give my view about the platform and to make some changes then this would be what I have to say....
1. Take away resteem/open a new tab for resteem.
If I want to read new posts or trending posts I go to the trending or new tab. Why not make a resteem tab where all resteemed posts can go? There are people that resteem everything, and I find it hard to find my own posts under my feed. I have even stopped following some people because they keep on resteeming! I find it very annoying.
2. Upvote the people that you follow!
Why would anyone follow anyone if they do not upvote them? Follow less people, and upvote more. There is surely a reason why you follow someone? If you are too busy then get a bot to do your upvotes. This should give you more time to actually find better content and help other people get noticed. Try steemvoter.com This is a great app to use and if you trust someone to write proper content then why not use it?
3. Steemit chat does not always make sense to me.
We should create one room where we can promote our posts. At this stage there are so many rooms and not many people go into all the rooms. Why not have only ONE proper room to promote posts? If people are to lazy to go and find good content then they could find better posts there.
Well, these are the only things that really irritate me on Steemit. I love writing and I will stick to writing my daily posts because I enjoy it.
Don't only think about yourself. Think about others too! Have a great day and keep on Steeming!
