I'll get on to it for sure. I think I commented on one of your posts a while ago that I'm currently using OCDB (non-profit) bot to boost my posts... but that's just out of sheer frustration. It would be nice to earn based on quality rather than hustle.

I get that a certain amount of hustle is needed in any blogging environment... but things have become skewed too far one way here on steem.

Ha ha, anyway rant over. I'll get it together on narrative tomorrow and publish my first post 🙂

Hi m8. Just wanted to ask you a question. Do you think it is essential to pay the ($15) fee to get accredited to have a chance at earning reasonable rewards on narrative?

In the first instance I'm looking to repost my best fiction (mainly fantasy and horror at first) and travel blogs. I'm just wondering if it's essential to get accredited for your work to be seen? I'm thinking it might be better to go through the accreditation process before posting long form content of high quality. Thoughts?

P.s. I found my narrative account sign in info last night and went in and did a little updating of my profile etc.

I'm called @scubascribe on narrative.

Cool, I'll look you up.

No, it's not essential. I did it and I'm glad I did. But others have opted not to do it. Some waited until their first payout.

I will say that you'll only go so far without doing it. If you want to join the Tribunal later, you'll have to do it. But for content posting, if you just want to take it for a test drive, it's not required.

Thanks for getting back to me and following up on my endless string of questions.... speaking of which ;-) This is the very last one I promise.

Do you know of an article that fully explains how the reward system and niche system works?

I've been on narrative today - and am just about to publish my first post... a horror story from one of your previous spec-fiction prompts - I've worked out that you follow people just like on steem and I've voted my first post. But how does stake work? Will my vote be worth anything yet?

These types of questions are all swimming around my head but when I tried google searches I couldn't find any compreshensive posts about how it all works on narrative. The main site doesn't seem to answer any of these questions either. I just don't want to plow away throwing content up without understanding everything.

Cheers for all your help btws :)

No problem. I wish they'd make these things easier to find. Here's the spec, it should answer all your questions. If not, feel free to ask more.

There's also a community support site where you can ask questions, offer suggestions, and notify staff of issues. You have to sign up for a separate account because it's not a part of the main site.

Finally, one of the users put together this nifty guide. It's a pretty handy collection of posts by other Narrators on how to make the best use of the site, and tips for doing certain things. The best part is these are all by other users so you're learning from the grass roots.
