One thing I like to add after posting the first blogpost, is engagement. The way hive defines engagement is as follows:
- Comment at others posts, read and post a comment that is meaningful, don’t say “nice post” :)
- Reply to all comments that is made on your posts
- Consider upvoting others comment with a small upvote
- Never upvote you own post or comments
Finally treat hive as a journal or your personal blog. Explore a hobby. If you use it well it can be well beyond Splinterlands.
Nice comment ;)
All good tips, thanks AZ. Btw I think like many things where there's a monetary incentive involved, people sometimes forget the basics. Kind of like how in Splinterlands sometimes people forget to enjoy the actual game because they're too focused on whether or not they're earning. And the funny thing is that on something like a blog, the more you just focus on creating good content on stuff you love (versus focusing on earnings) the more likely you are to earn.
I wrote this somewhere else:
join hive, earn crypto
is a terrible campaign! It never worked for the last 8 years and it will not work.
The campaign should be:
join hive, learn crypto, explore an interest
I always say at least thank you even if comment is just thumbs up emoji or a few words like ,,nice post''. In the past I used to even upvote every comment I got. Only recently I became more selective about what I upvote.
Yeah I've recently started getting a little more selective as well. I enjoy the small comments more than nothing at all, but definitely like when people take the time to provide a thoughtful comment (shows they actually read at least part of the content!).
