first things first…his advice actually gave me some fresh ideas. Now, I see my articles differently... or how should I say it? With brand-new eyes!😂
I've been here for a while, but I did take a break for about a year (you know, life stuff), so I lost a bunch of followers and kinda forgot how to make a comeback. If you scroll through my posts, you'll see that some have barely any comments. Some articles are interesting, some aren’t. But hey, that’s just how it goes! And I write about everything 😂
Now, if you check my profile, you’ll notice I don’t have some crazy…high number of posts or comments. I’ve been here for a long time, yet I don’t have 20,000 comments or whatever. I think I’m at around 2,300? You know why? Because I don’t just comment for the sake of commenting. I refuse to spam “Hey, nice picture” or “Cool post” just to boost my numbers. That’s pointless. If you do that, people won’t take you seriously…they’ll just see you as someone trying to look important. I only comment when I actually have something to say. If I like a post, you will know because I’ll write a novel in the comment section. 😂
You can see my personality in my posts and comments. And yeah, I can be a little crazy... or as you put it, controversial😂 But that’s me! And people notice that. here’s a tip: If you want people to reply to your comments, ASK QUESTIONS. If they have to answer, they’ll write back. Simple! 😂 Also, a lot of people just give a vote on a posts without actually reading them, so they don't comment. Not because the content is boring, but maybe because the title isn’t catchy or the picture isn’t eye-grabbing. I got some advice that posts should be around 500 words, maybe a little more, but I try to keep mine under 900. People are busy…no one has time to read a novel-length post when there are a million other things to scroll through. Shorter is better💪 Oh, something interesting for you, this happened a few weeks ago or days? Who even knows anymore 😂Some guy kept commenting on my posts, but it was obvious he wasn’t reading them. I wrote about my dog being sick, and his comment? "Nice picture. “EXCUSE ME? The post was literally about something sad, and all he says is “Nice picture”?
At first, I tried to be polite, but after a while, I had to ask him…like, why are you doing this? If you just want upvotes, I’m not giving you any. And guess what he replied? Either "nice" or "great" I also don’t remember anymore. 😂 And then, on my next post, he did it again 😂So I wrote this super long comment asking if he even understood what I was writing, why he was on Hive, what his life’s purpose was—okay, maybe not that dramatic, but you get the idea. And his response? "Yes." 😂 I mean… what the hell, man?! 🤔😂
Anyway, your posts are good, so just keep doing what you're doing! The key is to comment with meaning, only on posts that actually interest you. Trust me, people notice when you're genuine, and they’ll check out your profile to see who this interesting person is.And Sir @azircon ☺️ you actually remember this, thank u for this 😉
P.S. Be consistent with your posts. Try to post 2–3 times a week so people know you’re here because you want to be, not just for the money. Wishing you all the best, my friend! 💪 @beelzael Hope this helps! And if you ever need anything, I’m here…just ask.
All good points! I'll try to keep up with all of them, and agree with all of them. The main thing I have to focus on is shorter - AZ told me that already, I think he used the word "verboose" or something like that, I had never heard that before :-D I have a few ideas :-) Thank you for taking the time to make such a long and great comment to help me out! I really appreciate that!
I told you, when I'm interested in something, I will write a novel. Now you have it! 😂 I really hope it helps. And like I said, you can always ask me for help. I have time. 😂
when did you start calling me 'Sir'? :)
You called me lady… I mean, young lady 😂 so this was the only appropriate response 😂
Agreed!
Nice jab :) I like it.
Ok, now I see it…I wrote an article instead of a comment…It's freaking long 😂
