As a new member, do you think it's any harder here to get noticed than it would be on another platform like YouTube or Twitter? I wonder how much is a systemic problem caused by the UI and how much is just part of building a new following on a social media platform. If I created a new Twitter account today and started tweeting, it would be silly to expect anyone to see it because I'd have no followers. The key, as in life, is to build relationships. Connections with influential people are really important. We are a tribal, social species.

well the first song i put on youtube got 800 views in 3 days and 1000 in the next week and i was new with no followers -- for a musician the result we get here are too low -- i appreciate i need to build a network and will work with this site as it is -i hate youtube and many musicians do ,so i haven't posted a new song for years --they ripped me off my few dollars of advertising money - i like steemit and reckon we need something to help promote original music and paintings --but that is because it is my niche -- i understand most of the interest here is for stories about crypto and steem --thanks for discussing this with me Luke -- i am happy enough and seem to building fast as i get a more than 10 upvotes per post -- it is a shame that i am now buying influence to help me move up faster , but i had no choice with posts earning less than $2 .. i will help other artist and musicians when i can afford to start some competitions... i need to learn to write a lot better and could of course write about popular topics or unusual topics too.. i enjoyed your linked post , that helped a lot. I need to be patient and enjoy the friendship building -David

Thanks David. Funny, I post on YouTube and get mostly ignored. I think the medium matters for the message. Steemit is about words (writers do well). It's also (currently) about cryptocurrency since all the early adopters are heavily involved in crypto. YouTube is about music and video. Makes sense to me you'd do well there (and I wouldn't) while having more trouble here (where I seem to be doing better, given <a href="https://steemit.com/blogging/@lukestokes/last-week-i-made-usd1-500-worth-of-cryptocurrency-blogging-on-steemit-here-s-how">I've been blogging for 13 years</a>). Good luck. I already followed you and it seems to me you are making some progress.

that is a lot of experience your bringing to the platform -13 years of blogging. Yes i am making progress and will learn to write better content. Wanting my music and paintings to do well is really an ego thing and that is an easy way to set myself up for disappointment ie. expectations lead to equal amount of disappointment - and i should be more mature and not fall for that type of self laid trap. Have an awesome weekend and i enjoyed our connection.
