There are many posts about how to write for Steemit, how to earn more money, how to create value. Some great posts like @Gmuxx's post on 'How to Steem' are especially worth mentioning. And yes, some people can write about value and simply earn money like that. But there are hardly any posts about how to be a good spammer.
And this surprises me. As there are so many spammers, people or bots (I don't want to assume anything here) who try to make ends meet by focusing on quantity instead of quality. Who have done the maths, and realize that a lot of cents also make up a dollar. And they are absolutely right!
Spirit of Sacrifize
Of course, their life is made difficult. Some people do not appreciate their hard work, their dedication, their spirit of sacrifice. So I just want to let all you spammers out there: I know. It is hard work. And extremely strenuous. Just like other repetitive work, it is important not to let it get to you. To keep up your work ethic, not let yourself be depressed.
Pro-tip for scammers: Treat yourself to some nice dessert every now and then! This particular dessert was eaten by me in Providence, Rhode Island, in autumn 2016.
One of the first sacrifices that will be required, is your reputation. Some people work very hard to keep their reputation high, but it is a rough world, and not everybody is as understanding. Please arm yourself, be aware that it is not personal. You simply do the best you can. Don't be afraid of putting that unremarkable comment under a post, in search of simple rewards. It's your choice, and even if nobody answers it, know that you have hold on to your own values.
Know that you are noticed!
Take care, and don't be fooled. Know that you are noticed. Anyone writing an original post, will immediately notice the amount of effort that has gone into your scammy comment. Your efforts are not in vain, they do hit their mark. Even when you do not earn as much with it as you had hoped, you will have influenced the person you are commenting on. The recipient of your scam may have feelings of annoyance, of anger, of frustration. And those may be directed towards you. This is all part of the life of a scammer, they are a sign you have truly hit your mark.
So no matter what happens, stay true to your real desire.
To scam or not to be, that is your question. ~ @nobyeni
