My STEEM Journey... Part 3

Posts in this series so far...
Yesterday I've posted the article:
https://steempeak.com/steem/@doifeellucky/my-steem-journey-part-2
The day before yesterday this one:
https://steempeak.com/steem/@doifeellucky/thinking-about-my-steem-journey

...about thoughts/todo's in my STEEM journey. And yes be brave this will be a clear case in the direction TL:DR... I'm afraid. Nonetheless here we go...

The latest article got some more recognition and upvotes! Nice!

As I wrote in my first article on my STEEM journey I don’t use any extra dedicated "boosting" by buying dedicated upvote/resteem services (but I’ve got vests placed for general “lifts” in recognition / see my delegations under https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html or a little down in this article where I mention this solution) for those articles. This is part of my experiments with STEEM to see how much resonance these would get without extra “boosts”. I’m doing this rather for myself than to expect big returns. Of course I would love if it’s to some use for readers.

My update for today on my "todo's" I've again placed between the bullet points. So let's see...

  • learn something about STEEM or STEEM projects every day! - ☑️ Yep that happened again! Not all things mentioned here where new to me, some I’ve been using for a long time, but I used all of the listed here today again. So I thought it’s just fair and square to give them a mention! @miti and @citiofstarts mentioned Steamworld for instance in the comments to my post yesterday! See the section Steamworld a little further down!
  • Steam basic income (SBI) Did some more vesting in SBI. I enrolled some more fellow Steemians and checked out the SBI Discord channel SBI bot you can utilize to see your engagement with SBI. I love this project and the idea behind it! I’m trying to enroll more Steemians every day for the foreseeable future and probably will up my delegation too. Check them out https://steempeak.com/@steembasicincome Here an example output from the SBI discord server/bot querie:

  • Steemd Great source of info’s all around ones STEEM account and all on one page! https://steemit.com/@roadscape great job building/improving this!

  • As a result of my research regarding upvote/resteem services I chose Upmewhale. They haven’t got the highest iSteemD score but deliver the highest returns it seems. Upmewhale… I’m still playing around with some upvote/resteem services. So I’ve dropped 2000 Steem on Upmewhale.
  • A few of the open questions/todo’s I’ve listed in the original post can be closed. I’ve given them the needed thought and have made my decisions. So here they are…
  • But first...

In complete contrast to my experiments with autovoters, upvote/resteem services I’ve found a fellow Steemian who does manual curation and posts regularly about it in his Manual Curation Reports. 👀❤️👍

https://busy.org/@miti/mydailymanualcurationfeaturedposts2019-05-01-xdsz7d6juo

Please check out https://busy.org/@miti with his approach to curation. Very interesting to say the least! I guess I, maybe you too (?), can learn a lot from him.

I’ll be revisiting doing manual curation myself when I’m done with my “auto whatever” experiments.

  • ...and I got “STEEMified again…

What I mean by that is… I consumed so much wonderful content today again from my great fellow Steemains that I got a little sidetracked.

This messed up a little what I had planned for today but I had so much fun I just couldn’t help it and it should be all about fun, right?

So tomorrow – fingers crossed – I’ll pick up on my more structured approach to get some more things done in my ongoing STEEM journey.

on my list there are now another 4 STEEM related projects/initiatives left that I will look into one after the other...

  • Post something every day? - ☑️ Again check... I've posted the article's - https://busy.org/@doifeellucky/spud-1-powered-up-by-1-821-190-sp-today Yeah if you made it all the way down here... you guessed right… VP depleted still wanna play on and not wait 1 ½ days for VP to be at reasonable level again… so I’ve … upped my SP a little. - and I will post this article about my STEEM journey part III.

For now I will try to post an article everyday (besides share2steem Twitter to STEEM posts).

  • Maybe... but, very important(!!!), fight the urge to type every brain fart into a post! note to myself... fight harder...

Reediting this post here clearly shows me I've got a long way ahead of me to make some progress on this. To give you an example:

Reminds me of "A river run's through it"... when older Norman Maclean reflects on his Father

I attended the school of the Reverend Maclean.

He taught nothing but reading

and writing. And being a Scot...

believed that the art of writing

lay in thrift.

Source

So now you have a clear grasp of the obvious... hahaha! Cutting things short aint my cup of tea... and it seems that I'm shameless enough to put a quote in here from a really gifted story teller!

  • clean up #share2steem act... jeez... all that twitter shitposting clutters the STEEM blockchain... - ☑️Yes I did that. I will be selectively crossposting from twitter using the #share2steem tag rather than using the “crosspost everything” setting.
  • improve post quality! yep... time to step up your markdown game ffs. I’m working on that! Hope it shows soonish…
  • narrow post topics to field of own expertise or continue "to be all over the place"? - ☑️I can answer that now! Nope I won’t limit what I’m doing here at the moment. So this thing is answered and done.
  • should I make it a goal to make money with posts or just have fun or even behave like a passive investor? - ☑️I’ll answer that with a yes/yes/no.

So I’ll try to get some return on my investment here on STEEM and have fun with it. What can be better than that? Passive… nope. Not at the moment at least. Somewhere down the road I’ll compare effort vs. income and will then possibly reconsider.

  • push harder on/in things I'm experimenting with right now (sbi, bots)? - ☑️Yeah… I’m doing that so this point I’ll boot out of here.
  • use my SP more for curating and supporting others rather than generating "autopilot" returns? - ☑️Kind of a redundant point… also covered under the “Learn something about STEEM or STEEM projects every day part. I touched it today for sure though. I’ll keep it in here for the time being.

To put it in some simple sentences...

  1. I'll stick with both for the moment
  2. I will use autopilot for some of my SP to make returns on my investment
  3. I will also continue to manual curate and engage further with the community
  4. Especially if there are changes implemented in the STEEM blockchain that give curators more returns for their effort and things start moving in a more profitable direction for manual curators I reckon I'll make some quick changes here... given that I have the time to do manual curation properly.
  • Is it acceptable to further use upvote/resteem services for a smaller account like mine? - ☑️For the moment I say yes! It seems a lot of big accounts (either in rep. or SP or both) even use these or have used these in one way or a other. It seems to be part of the “spiel” somehow. No question at the end of the day it's about quality content and producing such content will be seen in the long run I'm sure. But to get some traction these services seem to be helpful.

I'll revisit this from time to time but for now this is a closed point for me.

  • can I do something to improve STEEM? - ☑️ Too early to say I guess. Everything I can do in "drive by pragma style" I’ll do. Like supporting effort to get STEEM on exchanges promoting STEEM via Twitter and so on I'll do of course. I want to learn more first before putting my head into hammering something out beyond that. I'll close this point here too for later revisiting.
  • Am I engaging enough with the community? - ☑️I’m not sure about this… at least I’m doing all that I can to keep up with curating, comments, replies and so on. I’ll revisit this on a regular basis.

So far my update for today. I'll keep you posted!

And of course I would like to hear from you about this post or the apps mentioned or your experiences or anything! Go ahead and leave a comment if you like!

    I'm still relatively new and learning about new Steem apps every day. Not come across these yet, certainly given some more food for thought. I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • @travoved(68)· 2674d

    Hi! Maybe you'll tell us about your experience with gambling I see @magicdice and @ moonsteem uvoted your post. interesting link to isteemd do you know other services which help to compare delegations? Can you share your opinion about it?

  • @jacuzzi(75)· 2676d

    WOW, great post and lots of fantastic links to follow up on.

    • How long did it take you to type this all up?
    • How many posts do you have in development at one time?
    • Non steem questions and perhaps you said it.. but what is your pups name?

    As for any new apps, I have been getting in using https://steempeak.com a lot fort my day to day use of Steem/steemit. Sorta streamlines my daily todos' ... A LOT. If you have not taken a look at it, I say have a gander it may help you too!~

    Going to book mark this post as well for future reference. :D

  • @d-zero(71)· 2676d

    Hi, It's nice to hear about your journey on STEEM. It's been 16 moons for me according to https://steemd.com and I'm going to give a 2 super awesome tips that I know.

    Tip 1

    https://steemapps.com That's a collection of 78 DAPPs on STEEM ranked under various metrics. Out of all of them I like to recommend you collecting Splinterlands/STEEM Monsters cards. It's a cross blockchain game supporting both Tron and STEEM. Go to https://steemmonsters.com

    If you are lucky you'll win some cards worth $100+ or even $1000+ At least you'll win few $$ worth cards every 2 weeks if you keep playing.

    Tip 2

    Delegate for tokens. You can delegate through Steemconnect or Steemworld.org It's like buying into an ICO at extra low price but without actually paying. You simply let the DAPP use your SP and you get payed a "rent" in their tokens. STEEM Hunt and DLike have already done this. Delegating often gets a better deal than actually paying for the token.

  • @brothermic(69)· 2676d

    This is great. Just discovered your post and account on steem-bounty. I defenitly wanted to know more about some projects. Kepping an eye out for these posts from you.

  • @blueeyes8960(71)· 2677d

    Very good post, this is the first one of yours I have seen, and I will be following you now to see more like this. You gave a lot of great information. Some things I knew about but some things I learned about! Also, if you are still investing in SBI, the @freewritehouse is having a promotion on to build up their SP (they do such amazing thing supporting content creators) and if you send them 20 SBI shares you will get some bonus shares sent back to you. Win-Win!

  • @cloudblade(65)· 2677d

    Thank you for your introduction! you mentioned those procedures, me have joined them for Most , But I won't use them. Because I can't understand those English, after translation, I still can't understand them, So I don’t know how they operate.

    Only understand the usage of SBI, vote for SBI and can get points, So I am only actively involved in SBI. When I have time, I still need to research other app.

  • @akomoajong(66)· 2677d

    Interesting all through, I use/have used all the above services that you have mentioned but I just do not know about @theycallmedan's initiative. Could you give a little insight about it?

    Also, before now I have always known @tipu as the most profitable bid bot when it comes to delegation, kinda having a rethink wrt what you wrote. Did you compare based on what you receive daily?

    Futhermore, I am happy to read reason being that I unfollowed you because you were crowding my feed with your twitter cross-posts. I have no problem scrolling over the posts but it was just too often and became unbearable for me lol.

    So yeah, based on this post I am giving you a second chance. I just followed you once again. Welcome back to my life baby!

  • @chesatochi(73)· 2678d

    Great post and one of the program I started to use more is SBI and I want to invest in that program to increase my vote value from it.

  • @sipahikara(65)· 2678d

    Thanks for the valuable information you have provided on the Steem voyage. All of them are valuable systems but I think magic dice fraud.

  • @chireerocks(75)· 2678d

    @doifeellucky, It's reflecting as you are following effective TODO list and also analysing by using different Steem Reports. Keep enjoying your Steem journey.

  • @nassimal(53)· 2678d

    Great Post👍.I have one SBI and I am using SteemAuto to play Playdice.

  • @oadissin(77)· 2678d

    I have learned so many steem base opportunity on your post. The summary of the different steemians account and their contribution to steem ecosystem gives to the reader valuable informations. Peace

  • @rentmoney(77)· 2678d

    As pointed out in your post, posting everyday helps with getting noticed or at least posting every second day. Consistency has helped me on my journey here. Using the cool feature @knirky created (@steem-bounty) is another cool way to help bring attention to posts.

  • @wakeupkitty(72)· 2678d

    NOS I am getting depressed, most of it I neger geard of except SBI

  • @edencourage(57)· 2678d

    What a great endeavour you are doing here. With your blog, you are actually helping other steemians to know more about the ways and means in the steemit community. One great read here. I am also into ways on how to enhance my posts and let it be known by other steem members and I am also hoping to increase my upvotes. Good job.

  • @miti(76)· 2678d

    Thanks for the mention! You know, you actually made some pretty good points. I appreciate your proactive approach to Steem's world.. keep it up!
