Hello everyone, how are you all doing? First of all, I must say I am happy to almost reaching 300 Followers on Steemit and over 40 members now in my Discord. Once I reach 100+ members on my Discord, I plan to do a STEEM DOLLAR GIVEAWAY so I hope you all can look forward to that. Any ideas for this giveaway will be welcome! :)
For those who have not joined my Discord yet, check it out since we are a growing community trying to help newbies and current users struggling to get attention to promote better their steemit page so the community there will be more likely to check your stuff out. Here is the Steemit Discord Link: https://discord.gg/WmxRnc3
Now for my worries about this thing long term... its not really the fact that the value of STEEM has been dipping more than 50% because if the platform continues to do well, eventually it will regain its value.
Its mainly cause Bitcoin's been losing value. I am mainly worried about something that I myself do not really understand about steemit. Its the fact that at the time of this writing, I have 288 Followers and whenever I post a new blog, pass a few hours and unless I am promoting the post in other platforms as well as my Steemit Promo Server I made and other steemit related Discord Servers I am in, on Twitter and Facebook Steemit Groups, I still would be lucky if I reach 20-30 views and 2-3 comments.
I sometimes I ask myself these questions whenever it happens:
Does my content really sucks with little to no value? Or perhaps none of the followers are ever notified whenever I post a new Steemit blog? That the only way my followers can know if I posted a new blog if they manually go to the steemit feed section and see who posted.
Also I noticed that many steemians are following HUNDREDS to THOUSANDS of other users that most likely they only check like 0.2% of all their posts. I admit I am guilty at this as well but I am planning to unfollow a lot of unactive users or users that does not post anything that is of value to me and only follow people who I truly care about or post content that I care about!
I encourage you all to do the same because the last thing we all want is a flood of posts on our feed that we do not really care much about in the long term. And that I believe is one of the biggest issue with the followers system on Steemit now.
Its like the subscribers system on YouTube. I bet you would feel really bad if you had like 10,000 subs and less than 100 views in each videos. You would wonder whats going on and why did they subbed to me in the first place... I hope this post gets noticed by someone here because I am here asking for help with solutions so I can learn and then help others as well.
IMAGINE... I GET 300 FOLLOWERS, MAKE A POST AND ONLY GET LIKE 10-15 VIEWS AND 1-2 COMMENTS AND UPVOTES... HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? THAT THE NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS YOU HAVE ARE MEANINGLESS?!!
I just wanted to get that off my chest and understand where I am coming from. I complained about the fact that steemit needs a better notification system so people will know more conveniently whenever I post new blogs and the number of people who will notice my post and yours as well will greatly increase! Steemit needs to fix this some how! :P
I love Steemit but there must be better ways out there to make the followers system work in a more meaningful way. Because even if you post something very valuable and have 1000 followers, if they do not noticed that you posted a blog, its like if it does not even exist...
That's all I have to say about this issue. Upvote this post if you find this informative, please resteem to raise awareness of this.. I BEG YOU AND WILL APPRECIATE IT! and comment below your thoughts on this matter. Until next blog post, take care, God Bless and stay cool! :)
