Great post mate. As an Aussie with little in the way of technological expertise I'm completely new to blogging and crypto and especially the way Steemit operates. I stick around though, not because of the upvotes and whatever as I can't ever see this being my day job, but because I really like when I get to interact with REAL people and not just see a wall of selfies and the bombardment of desperate people trying to get 'likes' and 'comments' and 'subscribers'.
I only discovered your posts a day or two ago and it's already been very helpful. I've talked to my wife about investing in maybe 3 or 4 different crypto currencies and I believe Steem will be one of those I choose. This place can be very cool to see how other people live around the world and outside the immediate "Facebook bubble".
Just one problem I see is how to grow when your posts aren't about Steemit or crypto? I don't know enough about these subjects so I feel like my posts often go unnoticed. I try to post interesting content but yeah seems like unless it's Steemit, crypto or maybe travel related it gets quickly pushed out amongst the crowd. Any tips would really be great.
Thanks again for your informative posts and helping newbies. I hope you end up very successful at whatever your life goals are ✌️✌️
My advice is to alter your posts in the beginning to go along with daily challenges. The thumbnail and the first photo need to go along with the theme - such as BeachWednesday. Your text and other photos can be about anything. @kalemandra does daily color challenges and @uwelang always has a long list of what challenges are going on in any challenge post he publishes.
At least you get eyeballs with the challenges and can get part of your message out. i make more on those than any regular post I do.
Next - contests and giveaways are good to post in if they ask for links. I get all kinds of response on those because the person doing the contest is happy to talk to people who enter
I'm giving up and writing about steemit though in my next few posts :)
Wow, great comment!
Thanks @spaceginger! I see lots of people have a hard time producing content. The easy way is to document instead of creating. Talk about anything, like your interests, the things you like... heck even put up blogs about the food you enjoy. I would treat it like a social media website and post whatever you want.
Hope that helps, thanks for commenting @spaceginger :)
Your Aussie Autos posts are a nice look at cars where you live so that's a series I wouldn't mind seeing more of. There's an Instagram I follow which features high quality photos of high end cars in Zurich Switzerland. I'd love to see something similar on SteemIt for various cities around the world. Cars, motorcycles, mountain bikes etc.
You could also post about attractions in your area or things to do as a resource for travelers.
