Stop Waiting For Upvotes & Delegation...Build This Thing Yourself!

<center>http://plus1daily.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Stop-Waiting-For-Upvotes-Delegation…Build-This-Thing-Yourself.png</center> <br/><em>STEEM is the blockchain of opportunity!</em>

As a marketer I think this motto hits the nail on the head, perfectly! No other blockchain has so much upside that allows anyone from content creators to entrepreneurs build and grow their passion...With massive support from the most important asset in any project...It's community!

The unique aspect of STEEM is the upvotes, curation and delegation that is built into the blockchain. This allows you to support the content and applications you enjoy, and provides entrepreneurs with very unique business models.

Up until today, a lot of these businesses have been built around delegation and the upvotes...Which is fine, but we are seeing new models like @steemmonsters and @drugwars that remove the need to rely on these forms of funding and support.

Still, the question that comes up the most when I'm hosting the #RoadTo300SP weekly sessions is...

<center><center><img src="http://plus1daily.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/The-RoadTo300SP-How-Important-Is-Showing-Up-Everyday-—-Steemit-1024x148.png" alt="steem" width="648" height="94" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5964" /></center><br/></center>

So how does the newer Steemian even get noticed? Attract the upvotes? Build their relationships?

<em>- Use the tools that are there for you!</em>

<em>- Show up everyday!</em>

<em>- Be grateful, remain humble!</em>


I'm going to break down each of these points and some of them may not be the popular opinion. It's important for me to explain WHY I do what I do....But at the end of the day, this is my journey and things that have worked for me...Results may vary ;)

<strong>1. Use The Tools That Are There For You</strong> - This won't be a popular opinion but let me explain....

<em>Bid bots are NOT the evil enterprises people make them out to be!</em>

They are just tools that were built because of a market demand...

In fact, I have built a decent following and engagement with hundreds of Steemians using these services. 

<em>Are they abused?  </em>

Sadly, yes. People will abuse anything where they can potentially benefit from it. But what these services provide is...<em>A voice!</em>

I didn't get any upvotes from the whales when I got started, and I didn't expect any. So what could I do to get seen as a valuable contributor to STEEM?  <em>I promoted myself</em>...And whether this is a good thing or bad thing, the only way to really promote yourself on the blockchain is by the bid bots.

Again, I'm not saying they are a perfect solution but as a marketer...I know I need to be seen or else I'm out of sight and out of mind. So use the tools that are out there to get your voice seen and heard...

<strong>2. Show Up Everyday</strong> - This is pretty simple really...And a huge part of the training I created at <a href="https://steemsavvy.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SteemSavvy</a> centers around this simple truth...You cannot expect to make a million bucks here overnight. But when you show up, every day and deliver value to others journey...Things start to snowball! 

Post content, engage in comments, use the dApps, network with others...<em>But do it everyday!</em> It's MASSIVELY important to your journey on STEEM! I know this isn't a sexy answer, and most people will roll their eyes because I talk about this so much...But that's why only 2-3% of people will succeed in any business....They put in the work, <em>DAILY</em>!

<em>(Shameless self promotion...If you come to this blog and engage with me every day, I'll upvote ya and even send you some random @steembasicincome units...It's the least i can do to show you I appreciate your time and engagement!!)</em>

<strong>3. Be Grateful, Remain Humble</strong> - There is a lot of talk about apps 'owing' people an upvote. Or others demanding delegation from the powers that be...You are promised a few things in life, and an upvote or delegation aren't on that list...

Look, would I love an upvote every day from an app or whale with millions in Steem Power? Sure...I want to make a living from my STEEM journey...<em>But I'm not owed a damn thing!</em> So I will build it myself!

I have put my blood, sweat and tears into my project <a href="https://steemsavvy.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SteemSavvy</a> and will continue to do so. I am trying to build the easiest to use STEEM training platform online...However 'Mr. Delegation' hasn't shown up yet and more than likely won't...My business and passion for SteemSavvy is <em>NOT</em> relying on delegation. I'm building this with the amazing support of the Savvy community...

But when I do get an upvote or some delegation...I'm so grateful and humble...I'm always thankful for any upvote or delegation I get...And I know I need to KEEP building because tomorrow isn't promised.  When you focus on growing your account or project, you are too busy BUILDING to worry about any delegation or upvote drama...

When you concentrate on the journey and deliver value to your followers and community...You WILL attract the right attention!!

<em>(Funny, I found this in my notes this morning...Seemed to be appropriate to the content today...)</em>

I've been on STEEM for 15 months now...And I'm grateful for all the experiences and lessons I've learned...

I encourage you to follow through and keep creating! Keep engaging! And keep showing up every day...Because we will ALL win in the end!

All 100% true. Especially the show-up-every-day.
It’s so easy now - @Partiko is making curating and commenting so easy and pleasurable that there no excuse not to pop on and interact somehow.

Though Steempeak is great on mobile, too. 
But yes, I love Partiko - in large part for the notifications. Being able to send replies to comments when the commentator is still at the keyboard led to several interesting discussions I wouldnt have had otherwise.

I'm glad you confirm that I tried to act right here. Unfortunately, an accident prevents me from posting on a daily basis, and that makes me feel bad. I see how every day I'm losing .
Besides your three recommendations, I will introduce one more, from marketing ... patience!

I have not tried Partiko yet, I use eSteem Mobile. It's a pretty complex application but a little hard to use.

I'll try Partiko to see the difference. Please give me your link to sign up.

I see  nothing wrong with using bid bots, if they are used in the right way. 

 I use them to get more folks to see my blog posts, which I think is right way to use them. 

I cannot wait to see what you add to SteemSavvy next.

I started leasing delegated sp after I was here for 8 weeks in August 2017. Until Nov of 2018, I never had anyone give me a delegation for free. Now I have had a few free delegations come in, but they are temporary and I do not know if or when they will be pulled, so I just keep leasing. 

I have used bid bots a bit but stopped when they started putting upper limits on them. I post 2-3 times a day most days - especially weekends and when prices drop. That is when the diehards are still here.

The best things to get me votes are:
- qurator
- sbi
- incinibot
- feedyourminnows
- posting to challenges and contests
- putting people on my autovoter and then sometimes they reciprocate.
- using dapps that vote - busy, esteem, dtube, share2steem
- pal minnowsupport discord upvote
- a few other places that upvote me because I am in their group.

I comment well over 100 times a week as widely as I can. I often see people who post as much as me and who have been here just as long as me with no sbi, no qurator, no nothing! This would be too discouraging for me.

I have bought some sbi and give it for prizes in my own few contests, but most of what I have I won in contests. The sbi blog has them listed and @contestkings daily post. Few people enter a lot of them. I am close to 200 shares now! I think my last vote from them was 7 cents, but it comes to every post, so I am happy!

Solid writing mate.

Sadly it is really difficult to get noticed as a newcomer - speaking from experience - . Promotion via bots isn't a bad thing (even though I would prefer that they didn't exist in the first place) but looking at the hot and trending page..oh boy...at times it's such a mess.

What I really fail to understand at times is why for some people isn't enough to spend let's say 50/60/70 steem for promotion but instead they have to spend 500. In both cases their post will land on the trending. That's the type of abuse I hate. Especially though when it comes from "famous" steemians. Do they ever wonder what example do they set?

Some things that helped me:

**Finding your niche(s)** Trying to write about what you think other people are interested in when you're not in it - that won't work and will lead to bad posts. Write about what you're interested in - if that is crypto-stuff, then write about crypto-stuff (clearly not my nice). But we all have more than one interest, write about those, find others who do, join their community or build one. My main niches are needlework (knitting etc.) and table-top roleplaying, I'm interested in bread baking and gardening, too, and read and write about that. You love carrier pigeons or collect subway tickets? Write about it! Even if you don't find other people who share that interest you get yourself noticed. Being the "carrier pigeon guy" is better than being one of thousands other unnoticed writers :)

**Engage in your local community** That's especially important for those non-native English speakers. The German community gave me a lot of help and information, through posts and Discord. 

**Discord** Yes, a social media app that helps you on a blockchain. Sounds absurd, but it works really well. Fast answers to problems, working on building your community or simple smalltalk - it can be place for everything you want it to be.

I'm still small-fry but I made it to 350 rewarded SP in not yet 250 days and am more than content with it :)

So I owe a big THANK YOU to you because now that I am free falling into the rabbit hole I am never coming back out!

Looking forward to building a great friendship with you, and I spend a lot of time creating videos and websites myself. So as I learn Steem etiquette I will be sharing more here!

I just kicked off something to try and get some more people up to minnow level. Too much of the rewards is going to people who already have a lot of Steem. 

I have made my position on bid bots clear many times. I think they are mostly abused and are thus harmful to Steem. I will not use them and am less likely to vote on posts using them. I am pissing in the wind with this, but it is a point of principle for me :)

nah. you are right. they are abused. but they are also very valuable for people to promote themselves on steem. 

let’s be honest. a new steemian coming in here can play by the rules and show up everyday. but will wait a long long time to get noticed by the powers that be. 

i see the value in promoting yourself and attracting the right audience. and right now the only way to do that on steem is the bots. 

i’m not loyal to them. i just use the tools that are there.

People say it's for promotion, but you can see a post with $50 in paid votes and zero human comments, so it doesn't really work unless you pay enough to get onto trending. It's a broken system that gets abused for greed and that just encourages it.

Those of us with a big following can promote new users for free with a re-steem. We need more of that sort of altruism and less 'dash for cash'.

This is why I am looking at ways to boost new users who are doing good stuff. The 'powers that be' need to nurture new talent if they want Steem to keep going.
