– Even if published, posts usually get very little visibility since they are not promoted.
I strongly believe that you're not choosing the right platform for posting as a guest...
- You're either using a popular website that tends to publish a lot of posts regularly or the complete opposite.- In order to have an organic exposure of some sort, you need to look for something in-between.
7. Steemit
– Very hard to get exposure.
Back in the day, I had no issue with gaining the exposure that I needed on Steemit
[I expect nothing less, as long as you know how to properly use and target with tags and provide good content based on some of the trends].
– Posting volume is so high that your post can disappear from 1st page in a few hours.
It differs based on where you make those posts.
– If you want to know what cronyism and paranoia look like, visit this forum. All newbies are treated like scammers, and their account lacks features that senior members have.
I understand where you're coming from but that's not always the case and in regards to account features, you'll start gaining certain features as you rank up
[Newbies aren't the only rank with limited abilities].
– Unfair “Trust” system where old users can destroy a new member’s reputation without any proof.
If such a thing happens, you could always lay your proof and prove those members wrong
[as a result, they'll correct their mistakes].
- All of us know it's not a perfect system [feel free to come up with a better one] but it functions well [for the most part].– It is almost impossible to become a senior member on the forum since old members don’t give ” Merit” points to new members.
That's not true
[even though it might look like that]. There are so many "self-made" legendary accounts on this forum.
- There's a correlation between high-quality posts [subjectively] and giving out Merits [if someone lacks having the initial part on their history, the latter part won't happen. In other words, it has nothing to do with being a new member of the forum].
- Most users aren't merit sources here and as a result, we have to earn some before we could merit someone else's posts [most of us are just out of sMerits].
