RE: My Blogging Strategy - How I earn a Living through Blogging

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

you hustle your way to >30K Hive and do a bit of networking and then people will add you to their autovote and upvote any old lame shit you churn out paying you hardly any attention for the most part, but still ‘paying you’ by voting yer content.

Well yeah, but if the content turns to shit that auto will go elsewhere, at least for me anyway.

I need to start writing in advance - never worked on something (unless it took multiple days) that hasn't been posted on the same day.

Have a look at some of the trending posts here on Leofinance, you'll see that autovote case is not the case for everyone!

I don't think it is on Hive either.

I'm sure this is why @therealwolf wants the change he's proposing - he's currently thinking 'I'm having to vote shit (or at least mediocre content) to get a curation return and I'd rather not be forced into this'.

So ATM, I think a lot of people are keeping their AVs switched on because 1. there's precious little to vote and 2. Well, it's a damn hassle to keep tweaking it isn't it!

Honestly, the long-form writing is the best habit I've established - you can just zone into something for a couple of days at a time, and then it posts at sometime in the next month - I don't even remember writing today's blog post on RS, it was that long ago I wrote it.

Reactionary keep-up writing is not as productive for me. Then again, there are some posts you have to wait to write and daily-publish for various reasons.

I agree the tribes, even with LEO, looks a bit circular with the high stakeholders.

Wolf's idea is interesting, but I'm with you that posting will drop, and with there being no effort to collect and more effort to share, why would people bother.

I linked an older post from Taraz, slightly different but with more options - lock some up, play with some as we do now.

Overall, probably best to wait for SMT before radical changes to the native token. I don't think it's the current mechanics are that shit, and we're just tied to BTC like every other token.

I think ultimately the Wolf is looking to keep more of that 'individual reward pool' for himself as a very high stake holder - he's quite young and probably hoping Hive is going to sustain him for decades.

It's different for me - I'm fine if Hive just stays a side income. I don't need it to retire on!

He does have a point now we've got communities with their own tokens, but I agree with you, what he's talking about is years down the line, and then just maybe. Hopefully we'll have SMTs by then.

Likely - I'd like that too but am not banking on it just yet :)

Funny that stake is due to him facilitating votes to some god awful content.

I know he's an odd one - it seems that he's had a genuine conversion - he knows what it'll take to stop him voting on shit, because, well, he's been there! This is his solution

I guess this would put Hivewatchers out of business? Over four full downvotes from Wolfy to those guys this past week.

Well it would I guess.

I think I'll leave investigating why he's DVing them, sounds like Drama. I Miss the Drama token.
