If creating high pay outpost was the first thing you thought after reading the title, you’re partly right. This isn’t one of those post telling you generic BS about how to make your blogs more visible. If you have been following my previous posts, you should know by now that there are four ways to accomplish greater visibility:
- Kiss a whale.
- Use bidbots
- Kiss everyone.
- Make an awesome post so compelling people just had to upvote when they see it.
Note: @adamada hijacked this account again. There's no artsy flare for this post. It's a wall of text meant to bore you to death.
You know what? Let’s just level our expectations for mainstream adaptation and settle for the first three ways. Those first three are more feasible than creating exceptional posts frequently.
Mahirap gumaya ng napakagandang post palagi at hindi naman garantisadong mapansin ng iba. Yung platform nato mas maraming beses na palakasan lang sa pagpapapansin sa friends at hindi naman sa dekalidad ng post. Pag above average yung target ng post quality mo, ok na yun.

When examining a Steemit Account, try to look at these parameters on how that particular author’s growth status:
- Amount of SP
numerong tinitingnan kung may magagawa ka sa para sa sarili mo o sa ibang tao
- Engagement
gaano kalakas kang magpapansin sa iba
In this platform, content isn’t king, SP is. It doesn’t matter how good your post is, if you do not have SP or people with high SP to back you up there’s almost zero chance of reaching the trending page. Just try counting how many posts that trend without any smear of bidbot use. A post can reach trending status without the author using bidbots if someone else bought the boost for them or a whale just got generous.
Pwede naman na naka jackpot siya sa curators at nagustuhan yung post pero matumal naman mangyari to. Steem Power ang labanan dito hindi dekalidad. Ang isang ordinaryong steemian naguupvote ng kapamilya or kaibigan nila at hindi sila nag aaksaya ng voting power para maghanap ng ibang e uupvote. Naka ewan nga isipin na maraming ganito at makinig sa reklamong di napapansin post nila e sila naman tong di namamansin sa iba.
We are already stratified based on our SP from plankton to whale.
Intindihin nalang natin na may ibig sabihin ang social status na balyena at minnow
If you don’t have enough cash for a pay to win approach in the platform, there’s always the late game of engagement. Start making friends on the grassroot level and work your way up to fame. That’s what influencers usually preach and bombard new users with generic ideas of make good content and some words of encouragement.
Hindi naman nakasaad sa taas yung tanging paraan. Pag nagsipag ka gumawa ng maraming account, e peke yung mga comment na kunyari ibat-ibang tao gumagamit ng account at may legit na interaksyon, pwede kana mag upvote ng sarili at may stable na income. Matagal na ako nag hunt ng spam abusers and plag posters at may mga tao talagang masipag mag abuso sa platform at ganito mga ginagawa. Kung di mo to napansin, sure na ako na marami kang di napapansin.
Mastering the art of engagement is just as important in ensuring success in the platform if pay to win is not feasible. Some people are good at making quality posts but are unable to market themselves. Remember the social aspect of the platform. If you can’t market yourself as someone worth listening to, expect your posts will likely end up the same.
Isipin mo nalang yung kapitbahay mo marunong gumawa ng masarap na siomai at ikaw hindi. Pero marunong kang mag sales talk. Nag partner kayo sa negosyo. Ano kaya sana pwede mangyari kung marunong na siya mag sales talk noong umpisa palang? Bakit ka pa niya kelangan? Apply nalang natin sa steemit, kung marunong kang magpabibo sa iba na supportahan ka, mas tataas ang chance mong manalo. Engagement lang.
Commenting on someone else’s post has more impact than creating a regular blog post. People are generally self centered and have their own preoccupations that you have to compete with for attention. Worrying about whether their post will get noticed and the number of upvotes like it’s a gauge on community acceptance for who they are. We’ve seen that happen in other social media sites when likes, retweets, and quantity of followers matter.
Maganda yung upvote pero mas maganda yung comment with upvote. Bihira ka lang maka kita ng reader ng post mo. Kadalasan scan lang ginagawa and click upvote, boom may support na.
Listen, if you are being upvoted by the same accounts without any new names on the list, there’s something wrong with your growth. There isn’t any growth there. It’s just the same people jerking you. Real growth happens when you got fresh names commenting on your posts or upvoting you. Real growth happens when you get involve with other people’s blogs and vice versa.
Besh, if pareho lang talaga nagsasabi sayo na maganda ka, expand mo na muna social circle mo baka sa sobrang bias na nila pati flaws mo perfect na. Ganun naman lagi sa friendship, ignore natin yung flaws minsan para di lang magkasakitan ng feelings or mag away. Mas honest pa ibang taong walang paki sayo dahil walang mawawala sa kanila kesa naman yung mga taong dependent sa upvote mo. Get my drift?
That means your posts are attracting new readers and compelling them to engage with you.
Let’s pause to think about some aspects of this community. We got “free voting power” that offers no cost to us to upvote someone else’s post as a tip. Yet, we still got a lot of steemians apathetic on the free tips. Who knows? maybe some of these people might spam likes on other sites for the same quality of posts they see on this blockchain.
Umiiba talaga pananaw basta may pera sa storya.
Here’s a bullet that usually works on every conversation. Understand what the author you are trying to engage with is saying on their post, repeat and add your input.
Basahin at intindihin lang yung gist ng post. If di mo kaya mag construct ng 4 sentences about summary ng post, baka need mo pa mag backread para ma gets. Napa masyadong maraming words yung post, very insensitive kana pag nag comment ka good post or nice post. Kwentuhan mo nga ako ng pinaka-exciting na nangyari sa life mo tapos mag reply lang ako “magandang storya”, parang sinabi mo nalang na wala kang paki sa kausap mo kung kacheap naman ng compliments mo besh.
People are more receptive to ideas that align with their perspective and more so if you parrot it. It would be much easier if you already agree with their ideas because the praises would come genuine. By repeating some bits of information the other speaker has shared, it communicates listening and lowers their guard because it says you’re on the same page.
Ayaw ng tao ng realtalk lalo na pag kontra ito sa prinsipyo nila. Sabihin mo nalang mga bagay na gusto nila marinig or mga points lang na agree ka rin para di naman mag mukhang plastik yung reply mo.
This make them open for your own inputs and be more receptive in knowing who you are.
Gusto ng tao na may makikinig sa mga sasabihin nila kahit shit talk pa yun, well appreciated yung marunong mag handle ng convo. Ang pakikinig isang skill yan ng mga natural na charismatic na tao.
Bad: Hey nice post, keep up the good work!
Good: This was a fun read, you got me on the blah blah blah. I used blah blah blah and I can totally relate with your blah blah blah.
Masama: Maganda post mo, ipagpatuloy mo yan.
Maganda: Siomai ....
Nag expect ba kayo na may detalyadong translation sa magandang response? Bakit? Ano ba mas maganda sa siomai. Masarap ang siomai. Ang post mo ay siomai. At siomai is magandang dekalidad. Siomai is life.
There’s plenty of opportunities for the other party to be creative on their response because you’ve given them more room to approach the conversation. Saying it’s a nice post already eliminates the conversation and the response would most likely be a thank you. Thus, you just f up your engagement opportunity.
Kahit sa totoong buhay, pag simpleng papuri lang at walang follow up diba nakakailang rin mag reply at mag effort sa reply? Sige nice post comment pa more, generic na thank you lang aabutin mo.
Hahaha kaloka. Ako'y napagawi laang para tingnan yung featured best of PH. Pero voila may post kayo!
Tama ka, SP is king so maybe kelangan makita ang best of PH account in all comments all over Steemit hahehihohu
Hmmm at ang comments ay keep up the good work, how did you do this? o di kaya what's your source hahaha joke lang.
Pero di nga, maybe this community account needs to be commenting on other community initiatives?...
Edit: Forgot to upvote too, nag-error broadcast :( tapos nag-double broadcast yung comment. hayst.
GO BestofPH!
May punto ka talaga dyan. Medyo kapos lagi kami sa time sa pag steemit lately so matapos maka spot ng post, review, compile and post a feature nalang routine. Pagnaka tyempo yung communal account gagamitin ko mag comment back.
Salamat sa support :D
Walang anuman! Kung di ako busy magvolunteer ako. Sana makahanap kayo ng mapagkatiwalaang mag-comment. Kung ikaw mag-curate, lagot, makahanap ka ng mga abusers hahaha.
Haha.. Nawindang ka ba?
Pampalakas lang at pampa-good vibes sa mga kababayan natin hehe..
Gasgas na ang keep up the good work and etc.. haha, baka palitan na ni @adamada :D "SOMAI" na daw po...
Salamat po sa support <3
@cheche016 :)
Hii @bestofph We'll defined sharing about steemit account promotion and visibility. Appreciations for well written.These are the key points.
Realtalk. Ito yung gusto kong mabasa dito sa Steemit eh. Parang siomai business lang. Hindi ka kikita kung uupo ka lang at maghihintay kung may bibili ba sayo o wala. :-) I've been in to this sentiments few weeks ago and discussed same thoughts with a friend.
Post lang ng post gurl. Wag lang shitpost. SP at friendship naman ang route to success dito. May discord kaba? sali ka sa boph server for occasional real talk chats.
gusto ko ng siomai :D
Ang galing ng content na to..saan ba ikaw naglalage at di kita nakikita..😂 TAMA! magpalaki tayo ng VP para hindi na tayo bootlicker sa iba..hahaha..pokos nlng sa mga good content. But for now kilangan talaga natin total engagement in the community and ayaw ko nmn talaga sumipsip e, di ko talaga gawain yon kaya pokos ako sa mga contest I think this is the best engagement. Hayaan nlng natin yong iba na malaki ang payout kahit na mas maganda pa yong content natin sa kanila for sure nape pressure din yan sa kakasipsip.marami dito mga under the table pero ok lang yon mahalaga lageng tapat tayo sa mga gawa natin at determinado tayong umangat sa sarili nating sikap. Pokos lang sa magandang content pasasaan ba makakarating ka din doon sa gusto mo mangyari dito sa steemit.
