Outside of using LeoFinance I end up using Ecency heavily. I love the UI and smooth surfing and browsing around the site. The notification system is on point with great filters and honestly it just makes for a very good UI with good layout and options.
That plus the points earned to allow me to promote my posts are a huge plus for getting some new awareness to my posts here on Hive which I think is one of the hardest things to do. I'd highly recommend anyone starting out to use the platform and stock up on those points. Write what you feel is a top of the line article and drop a vote from ecency on there and a 2-3 day promotion. Keep doing that as often as possible and you'll start to see your followers and exposure increase which is a critical element to your success here on hive.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you note a significant difference when you promote your posts over ecency in terms of interaction and upvotes?
Some times but the promotion gives it a little exposure but it's not really targeted to a group so it needs to be eye catching that someone will want to click on the image to read more. Mainly what works is the vote which helps push the post into hot or trending on hive at least for a little and that's where the big exposure comes from. Sadly most people just blast through and upvote already high upvoted posts lol.
