The Dangers Of POSTING Too Much On Steemit

When it comes to posting to your blog there is never a right number to go with. Some post once every few days and others post a single or more posts every day. While there are a few who post great images taken during their daily lives in the cities and places that they live in and are fairly interesting, quite a few seem to be in the habit of posting plagiarized images and content that don't belong to them.

Then there are those bloggers who post several posts daily but on varied topics. Some of their posts may be related to the niches that they are known to post in. Others post whatever they want with topics that can be as varied as science, to homesteading, to whatever else that they can think of.

If you're a newbie two of the first things that you must decide is your posting frequency and the niches that you will posts will belong to.

While publishing regularly is thought of as a norm among successful bloggers, I thought of creating this post to highlight the dangers of publishing too many times.

First and the most important point to remember is that if you don't have anything to blog about then don't.

It is fine if you have a lot to say that will interest your readers. But don't bore your followers by hitting publish again and again if you have no topics in mind or no worthy content to offer to your readers.

If you're creating text posts make sure that you have your topics listed out in advance. The topics should be related to the interests of your bloggers. For example if you blog on crypto don't create a post on homesteading unless you are a homesteader or at least know something about your topic.

If you publish images make sure you are publishing original content and also something that your followers can relate to, and will enjoy. I must say that some of the images that come up in the new post feed are nothing short of horrendous.

Another reason why multiple posting in a single day is not advisable without a plan is because it will clog your followers' feeds. While they may be happy to find your post, read it and then upvote it, they may not like doing it multiple times in a day. Think of your followers first!

The buzzword is quality not quantity.

Some of the well respected established bloggers whose posts trend each time they publish a post are known for quality. I am not referring to those who attract readers and followers on the basis of their super high Steem Power. I am talking about bloggers with well-researched blog posts that add to the quality of the platform and provide useful information to readers.

The worst thing that can happen is when your followers and those you vote on your content think that you are posting only for the money. Remember, you must post for your readers and your followers, always.

When you satisfy a need and provide a high quality output the money will follow - if not quickly definitely in due course of time.

Post as much as your followers want with a high quality of content. It doesn't stop with hitting publish, as most are under the impression that they're done with their post once they publish it. Once you hit publish it is time to promote your content so that you get more readers and people find your post. Participate on the platform write comments and attract readers to your blog.

That's not all. Take time to respond to comments.

While you don't need to reply to "follow for a follow" type of comments, the rest of commenters expect a response from you. If you can't answer to the genuine comments on your blog post, don't post faster than you complete responding to all the comments.

Typical uncaring gurus pump out posts and then move on to the next most without responding to the vast majority of comments. Seem too familiar? Unfortunately it is too common on Steemit, but it is not a good practice to follow.

I have stopped commenting on bloggers who don't even acknowledge comments as though the comments are invisible.

I hope that this post is useful. If it is, please RESTEEM it for the benefit of your followers.
