I had a request recently to make a post about how newer people here can start progressing on Steemit. I took a look at a few people's profiles who were complaining about their progress. I am making this a generalized post. Nothing targeted at anyone specific.
If you notice you are lacking in some of these things, then just take it with a grain of salt, and use the info as you wish.
This is Part 1 of this 3-part series. Each post will have 2 main points. Enjoy!
A common (Also obvious) reason for people to not making any visual progression on their blogs is because no one is seeing the content. When joining any social-platform, the top priority next to quality content, is followers.
Your main objective should be to gain followers that are viewing your content. So, this is definitely the first thing I noticed about all the pages I checked-out. Many of then have very few people seeing their content.
Now sure there are a few people who have quite an amount of followers, but that's not the only thing you need here. Those followers need to actually enjoy your content, and engage with you. So just spamming a bunch of people is not going to help here.
It's all a Law of Average. There will always be a certain percentage of your followers that react a certain way. Depending on the quality of your content, they will react accordingly. It's also a little obvious. It's no coincidence that @Sweetsssj gets so much engagement, compared to someone who posts a single picture. Just real talk.
So now you understand that you need a strong following, but how do you achieve this? That extends onto the next point.
If you are going to come here and complain about not making progress, but then think the solution will come without a sacrifice, then you are mistaken. This might sound cliche', but for every positive, there is a negative. If you want to be seen, you need to politely put yourself in front of others.
Note I said 'politely put yourself'. That means by not seeming too needy. You need to provide value to people. There are so many examples around us of how not to do things, so use this and do the opposite.
I don't want to talk like I have 20K+ followers already, but I can safely say that I have been doing this for the past 46 days, and you can judge my results accordingly. I am quite satisfied with my current progress, but again, it's purely my perspective on how I would do things.
Don't complain if you have done anything less than 1000 posts (Engagements). It also needs to be in a shorter space of time. It's all about compressing time-frames. If you do 1000 posts in a period of a month, compared to doing the same amount of posts in the span of a week, which do you think will do you better? I am confident that doing it in a shorter period of time will gather more attention!
Remember, you can have the best content in the world, but if no one sees it, then it really has no value. Get yourself out there!
This was Part 1 of the 3-part post! I will be revealing two points for each post. Keep in touch for part 2!
If you think someone you know deserves a shout-out, you are always welcome to let me know! Yes, you may nominate yourself, only if you really think your content deserves more exposure. Your results need to speak for themselves :) I choose a new person every week for the Shout-Out Saturday post! So stay tuned, it might be you!
More than how much my posts can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, you can share this with others!
I want this blog to be a happy, motivated place where you guys are free to engage and say whatever is on your mind. A place where if you have something on your mind, no matter how dramatic it may be, you can feel free to speak. Resteems are appreciated!
I reward good resteems and comments! I would love to know what's on your mind. Be bold and talk to me in my comments section! I would to know your opinion and what it is you'd like to achieve. I am trying my best to make 2 high quality blog posts per day. So stay tuned!
