What Up STACKERS!
This is a somewhat a touchy subject and many people will have his or her option about it. The question is, should you self vote your own posts? 👍🏼
Well it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Just to lay it on the table, I do up upvote my own posts like many of us do but recently I'm thinking differently. 🤷🏼♂️
Voting for oneself is kinda meaningless if you don't have a lot of Steem Power and if you're posting many times a day, it can just drain your steem power for just a few pennies or couple of bucks.
So I'm going to try something different by not voting for myself for a few days or maybe weeks and start voting more on comments to test things out. 👨🏼💻
For those who have been following me for a while, I tend to vote a lot on people who comments on my posts and try the best that I can to "spread the wealth" on Steemit.
There are lots of benefits of "upvoting" people who comment on your posts. You will get a bigger following, more people will engage with you, and especially your posts become more fun to interact with.
Try this out, go check out 90% of the posts out there, even the whales posts. They hardly ever upvote comments let alone engage with people's comments. It's kinda crazy, it's like many of you are just talking to yourselves most of the time. 🤣
The main reason I joined Steemit because it was a "Social Media" platform with a good community. My main goal was to provide some entertainment, bring some knowledge, make a few friends and especially "STACKIN" that Crypto 🤑
There is nothing wrong with "upvoting" your own posts but if you want more engagement and become very "Social", all you have to do give more back to people than you receive. You want to play the long term game, not the short term "Greedy" game if you want to win.
Why should you take my advice? Well you shouldn't haha ... you see, I didn't get a reputation of 70+ on Steemit by having huge amounts of Steem Power. I gained it by being very "Social" with the people around me, helping people, and upvoting good posts + comments.
Just give it a shot if you're looking for a long term strategy of building a huge following but if you don't care about things like that, just start posting and upvoting your own posts but don't complain how great your content is and no one "upvotes" you. 😅
With that being said, Hope this helps many of you guys out and always "think out of the box"... or is there even a box?
Keep On STACKIN! 💞
