Hey guys, it's @shayne again.
I've got a little "Steemit Tip" on how to solve the problem of spending hours compiling an amazing post only to have it get no attention and make no money.
It's a pretty good tip, if I do say so myself -- which I DO -- but in all honesty, if you want to maximize the chances of having your posts get picked up and trend, you'll have to get yourself a healthy following, which you can do by following the steps I outline in this earlier post of mine -- which is doing quite well I might add.
So read that first and follow the advice.
Then... do this.
Break your long post into smaller posts
This seems like small beans, but when you think about it, it really isn't.
You can spend hours writing a great post, and then when you submit it, you only have one chance for it to take off and get recognized.
By splitting up a big post into 3 or 4 smaller posts, you expand your chances of at least one getting recognized.
Cross-link the posts
When you split your post up into segments, make sure to cross-link the posts.
You can do this later by editing the posts when you have them all submitted.
Greater rewards
Spreading out your big post like this not only greatly increases the chances of your post being noticed, it also increases the potential payout you could expect.
If you have one post, and it does really well, you could get $100 for that one post.
But say you split that big post into 4 smaller posts, and they are cross-linked meaning if one post is picked up it is likely that the others will get some residual attention, then you might be looking at those 4 posts earning $30 each, which would be $120 overall.
See?
An example
A few weeks ago I posted a series of "Getting Started With Steemit" posts.
The whole thing was originally written as one big post, but I decided to split it up into 6 parts for a number of reasons.
Here is the result:
As you can see, ALL of the posts did really well, but some of them did two or three times better than the others.
Overall, the posts totaled $531.35, which is absolutely amazing!
I am sure that if this topic was posted as one complete article as I was originally written, there's no WAY it would have made that much or gotten as much attention as it did split up into parts.
So the moral of the story here is:
Spread the love
You've written something GREAT.
Why not do what you can to give your work the best chance of being discovered possible?
Split up your big posts and
