I came across to a reply to comment you left on content by @bigtom13.
Yes people will stop and comment, communication is the structure of all social media platforms.
Finding/taking great photography of your region, telling stories, folklore, farming, travel within a short story of say 200 words together with photos is a wonderful way to start.
Try the 5 minute daily write run by @mariannewest a different topic each day to get the feel, not everything goes into earning from contests, more designed to entice people to share/visit each other.
Hope this helps and look forward to having questions for you next time about Finland a country I have never visited, have read some wonderful reviews and places to visit when venturing north.
Up to you now, what month are the Northern Lights viewed in, and which town is best suited to observe from in Finland?
I have written daily posts and tried everything I think of, but gotten nowhere.
My original response to this discussion was to criticize this platform.
I don't want to become a popular person here, I'm quite satisfied with the current situation.
It's just that I think the whales of this platform are content to their own situations and they are not available to the newbies.
I actually would like to offer these big winning contests, but I lack the funds.
Most arrive feeling lost, by presenting good content, visiting others commenting, it all takes time before people start extending invitation/follow. Use tags to identify, many communities welcome folks, joining the small contests gives a good overall feel with certain communities really helping newbies.
Connect and chat in Discord where you get to know others a little better, perseverance definitely pays off. Not all, but some whales are there guiding and sharing, it is up to individual to find them on the system.
I am an idea inventor
You said earlier that I would need to take part in the 5 min free writing program.
The problem with this is that it's you that write to you and other writers like you.
I'm not a writer and I don't want to take part in this.
And it's not interesting to other people who don't like free writing.
And it's not targeted to the whole community or taking them in the program.
So, here's my newest suggestion.
This let's you dive in to other people's articles.
And makes you ANSWER to them!!
