Boost Others Instead Of Tip

A little over a week ago I withdrew all funds I had here because I really needed it. Since then I haven't made even a dollars worth from tips and Random Rewarder combined. So I haven't been able to boost my articles. I tried with the 16 cents I had at one time, but that didn't make much difference.

My point isn't JUST to complain lol....This experience has opened my eyes to how things work here currently.

As a result I have an idea I'd like to share with you....

Typically, I boost my articles. A least the ones I work the hardest on. I don't go crazy with it. Just a few dollars worth, up to maybe $5 per week gets spent on boosting. So anywhere from just a few hours to off and on for about a week for my best or favorite articles.

Even if it's just a few hours, boosting can explode your view count. Especially if you know how to appeal to your audience at a glance with good titles and thumbnails ect. Different times of the day I'm still experimenting with.

Anyway after over a week of only spending 16 cents on boosting, I've seen a stark difference in view count.

I worked very hard on all 3 articles that I wrote this week. But if people don't even see it on the list, they obviously can't click on it. Having a good amount of subscribers didn't ensure views either. It's common to have so many people that you're following that you don't always notice when even your favorite authors post. Especially if you haven't been online in a few days and your notifications box has several pages to sift through.

No system is perfect....

Improvements are also continuing to be made because this site has good people at it's core that are eager to learn from experience as they go. It also does this type of thing better than any other I've come across in my opinion. They also pay attention to the input of all of us more than ANY other websites I've seen.

We truly are a community that is trying to help each other improve in various ways. :}

.............................................................................

So I have an idea....

I don't know how often people actually boost the articles of others, but I don't think it happens much. There are good tippers. The tip itself might actually be about the same as what you would earn from the Random Rewarder if it was boosted a few hours, but there are other benefits that come as a result of boosting....

More views on good content equals more quality subscribers. Even sponsors. As well as more potential tippers. New friends too!!

Tippers can act alone. Especially if they can afford a few dollars.

I have another idea of groups that can be put together to scan articles. Fishing for newcomers that show some talent. Plus others that have great articles that have been here a long time yet have very little views.

Working together they could organize and time the boosts in a way that makes sense after discussing what they each have discovered. Some articles are more time sensitive like news, while others are timeliness like art and poetry or short stories.

It could work sort of like the Random Rewarder, yet not a bot of course lol....

Instead of giving tips, they'd be boosting good content that is sadly getting missed by people that would actually click on it if they had just seen it on the list.

There's multiple ways this could be organized or even lack there of. Most of the ways that I have thought of ways would not only benefit the people they decide to help, but the site would benefit greatly in the long run.

I'm excited and very curious about how well these talented content creators could actually BLOSSOM....

Just imagine it....

Like if someone did this to an article I had worked really hard on and only got like 2 views... Wow.

Wow! I'd feel like I was appreciated. FEEL like I'm an active part of wonderful community that actually helps each other. While at the same time, bringing prosperity as well as quality work being put out there for the world to discover :)

.....................................................................................................................

Even though I don't have a job or even receive benefits....

I'm still very fortunate that I have even been ABLE to boost my articles AT ALL.

Just thinking now about all of the people that are trying SO HARD to get noticed for what they have to offer.... This is really sad, and my heart goes out to them because I have been in these types of situations a lot in my life.

I am eager to be an actual participant in this!! Working both alone and with a group. So if any of yall do decide to organize something like this PLEASE invite me to help to what capacity I am able at any given time. Maybe not financial help. YET. But in help searching, brainstorming how to organize this, ect....

I seriously want to be involved somehow though....

For THIS article to be actually seen enough to get more than a few views, I'll have to wait until I get a few dollars myself to boost it lol. But as soon as I can I will. So that more people can add their own opinions and ideas after reading this.

Looking forward to it!! Thanks ahead of time.;)
