This is really great advice @stacking! Thank you! I've definitely been trying to figure out ways of getting attention in the past several weeks, and I've been realizing more and more that the posts that do well are the ones that stay on the trending page for longer periods of time. The question is how do you get there? And how do you keep yourself there? And there are a variety of answers and ways of doing this, but the points you bring up here about entertaining your audience, and showing them who you are. And of course the fact that what they're looking for is not to read or learn, but to be entertained and have fun and connect with people, is so vital. These are really good points :)
I've also been wondering for quite some time now if anyone has come up with a good time for posting on steemit. I think this could be so crucial. They have times like this for other social media platforms, but, correct me if I'm wrong, I find that steemit is a bit different than other platforms, as it's a heavily international platform, and the times that are best to post country to country may vary. But I wonder if there are any common times that are most successful. Anyways, these are just things that have been on my mind in regards to this post. Thanks again for putting this valuable advice out there :D
You have to combined entertainment with info, it works great. It's like in real life also, it's who you know more than what you know.
It's tuff but if it was easy everyone would do it. Just like on facebook, there's billions of people on it, how do you get people attention? It's hard, but people who post engaging content and staying consistent always in.
I find it hard if a newbie jumps on YouTube right now and wants to be famous, so much competitions and almost impossible to do that now. On steemit, it's much easier as there's fewer people here.
As for posting time, check out the website the website steemreports.com , it's shows everything.
Yeah definitely! I agree steemit is in its formative stages and there can be a lot of opportunity here. Thanks for the link and helpful advice. Really appreciate it :D
