The Price is right... To post more!

My feed is quieter and colder than Antarctica.

I follow 450 people and yet, I only see around 100 people posting regularly

That´s a bummer, especially when it should be the opposite way.

I mean, I get it, most people are not in the mood for writing a post that a few months ago would´ve paid 4 or 5 times what it´s paying now, especially if it takes the same time to write it as before. It´s only normal you know, I feel the same way... but let´s be critical and let´s put on our analyst hat.

The reward pool is the same as any other day. Around 50,000 Steem are printed every day. I mean, it´s not that simple, actually a complicated formula is used to determine the exact quantity:

new_steem = ( ( virtual_supply * current_inflation_rate ) / ( 10000 * BLOCKS_PER_YEAR ) ) * CONTENT_REWARD_PERCENT;

But let´s not get technical here, the point is, every day a similar amount of Steem is printed every day.

So now imagine that the same Steem is printe daily but, the amount of users posting decreases due to payouts being lower.

I have some tips for you that I give everyone who comes to me for advice - I´m not an expert in crypto nor economy, but I´m a good content creator and I can give some advice about this subject:

First of all: Don´t panic, dont sell your Steem.
Most Steemians are posting fewer times a week. This means that if we keep posting at our regular frequency, we will increase our chance to have more people reading our posts whether it is in other people´s feed or by browsing other tags.
The post quality is overall dropping but, if we continue to post with our regular quality, chances are some big stakeholder votes our posts.
Every post payout we get will be paid completely on Steem. Now is the time to stack steem, keep posting, every time you get a payout, you will get more Steem than when the price was higher. Remember we sould be thinking long term. Every Steem we receive today will be worth tons more in a few months/years.
People´s vote is worth less that´s true, but also everyone - who cares about the platform - is focusing in rewarding only the best content... So rise your post quality.
If you have Fiat - that is, physical money - consider buying Steem. This is a great time to buy Steem at this price.

So, what are you waiting for? Rise your posting frequency and don´t forget to keep the quality of your posts, otherwise all of this advice won´t be useful for you :(

In fact, since my feed is pretty much dead, I was thinking about following some more people. Why don´t you leave here in the comment section a short comment telling me what you blog about and, if we have similar interests i´ll check out your blog, if I like what I see i´ll start following you, no matter your reputation, steem power or time in the platform.

_{I made a similar post a few months ago and I stand by what I said there. I´m posting again about this subject because I think this is the right time to give this advice again. Now is the moment to keep posting, stacking steem and increase our engagement. Are you on board?}
