- Engage with your audience. Reply to comments or remarks left on you blog both positive and those that may be critical to your work and ensure that your remarks are reflective of the amount of time their author took to make them in their relevance. Avoid making repeated standard replies which may be harmful to your reputation.
- Use you vote wisely and make it count. Take the time to comment on the posts you have voted for weather from a lower or higher reputation account than yours as this is one way of growing your following and they may come to view your post when you put out one especially if you left a meaningful comment after you voted their content.
In summary try to be as consistent in everything you do whether it be producing content ,voting on other peoples posts and commenting on both curated content and your own feedback from others, let your actions standout for others to see.
