Dear Steemians,
Today is my 10th Day since after I attended the bootcamp conducted by @maverickfoo on 3rd Feb 2018. I have hit 100 followers this morning. Without your support, I ccould not have done it. many thanks to you
To me it is an achievement given that little guidance are available after the bootcamp. It was a hard learning experience for me over the last 10 days and I am happy to have achieved some results though still room for improvement.
It was an excited moment during the first couple of days after the bootcamp was over. As everything in Steemit is new to me, learning of new terminology, jargon etc are inevitable. Luckily continuous learning has been in my blood stream all these years and I have never give up to explore myself what is Steemit. And how those trending article post can fetch so few hundred dollars upvotes.
Perhaps maybe you also have learn from bootcamp that one key factor for a high value article post is the quality of the article. After several attempts to write a good article, I noticed that article alone will not catch food result. From my observation and analysis, I realized that the exposure of your article actually play a vital role in getting high upvote. It is the curators who upvote your article makes the difference. How to get the attention of curators remain to be understood.
Then to get curators to upvote your vote, one area is to get them from your followers. Yes, you need big number of followers in your group in order to get high exposure. Sounds logical, right ?
On the other hand, if you want high value upvotes then your followers have to consist of high power curators. It is like one upvote from these high powered curator worth more than $10-$50 or higher.
So, If you want your article post to get high value upvote, your must be near of around these curators. It is quite easy to see who are they but the question remain unknown to me is that how do you get attention from these high power curator ?
Then a tendency to accelerate the learning curve and get high value article, I visited and viewed several videos obtain from youtube. To be honest, the information i gathered from the video series has reinforced my understanding of Steemit from the bootcamp. I could understand for the least those jargon sued in the platform.
There are several "advanced" I learn from the video series such as where to look for your upvoters. Obviously, the next thing to do is to click on their name and follow them. ( Am I doing the right thing ? )
Recently, I noted that some of my posts were upvoted by a robot as stated in the comment. OMG, am i getting into trouble from these robot ? Is it something good to be happy for or a caution for trouble ? Anyway, I have no idea how this could happen and neither I can do anything about it. One precaution I take is to ensure my article is "original" and due reference must be made if there is.
In conclusion, I think the about two factors requires personal attention to improve your article and to enlarge your followers. And it needs your commitment and perseverance. So, I am happy to announce my achievement of 100 followers.
