Welcome again to my mini video series - 1 Minute Guides. In this series, I am explaining all the basic terms of Hive and Blockchain within a minute through a video guide. Though this video is more than 1 minute, still I would like to keep this video in my 1-minute series.

I am uploading all the videos to my @threespeak and YouTube channel. I believe these videos will help onboarding more new people to Hive. I checked YouTube and there aren't many videos on Hive.
So, why not using this centralized video platform to promote decentralized Hive?

Summary of Video
I am writing regularly on Hive for the betterment of new Hivers. I faced a lot of interruptions when I was a newbie like you. So I made up my own content strategy. I checked all the aspects in Hive Blog to make my strategy stronger.
This 1-minute video will give you a hint of my strategy. How I write content to get more upvotes? You admit it or not, everyone is here for rewards. And you can't earn a penny until you add some value to this chain.
So, here I have pointed our 3 aspects from my content selection strategy. You can find details of this video here.
1. Write for Global Readers
I am a Bangladeshi and I love to write in my own language. And sometimes I write in BDCommunity in Bengali. I really feel good to write on my first language on Hive. But if you value the rewards more than you will see that I am earning more on my English articles than Bengali.
So, my point is to earn more rewards you have to write in a global language, which is English. You can write in Chinese for Chinese people, Spanish in the Spanish community, but for everyone, you have to write in English. I won't vote on a post which is written in Spanish, because I don't know Spanish. Fair enough, right?
Also remember, Always keep in mind that your readers are talented than you. And they are hungry to know more, to gather more knowledge. They will explore your content to learn about new things. So, if they sense that you're not adding any value in their lifestyle, they will just walk away from you and never turn back.
2. Write long articles
If you're writing an article then try to write more than 1000 words, unless it is a video or artwork. Smaller articles won't get much attention. It's proven that long articles get more organic traffic from search engines. And don't expect to get better rewards just for writing a few sentences.
Just imagine, if your friend John writes more than you in the exam, don't expect to get more numbers than John. Though post and writing quality also matters here.
Recently I saw that some newbies are trying to grab good rewards just by writing a few lines. Don't do it! It may ruin your profile.
Use images and videos on your post. You heard that perfect image or video clip can tell thousand words than just text. So images and videos are great to use in the blog post. If you are including any downloaded or copyrighted image, don't forget to mention it's source.
3. Visualize Your Contents
Use images and videos on your post. You heard that perfect image or video clip can tell thousand words than just text. So images and videos are great to use in the blog post. If you are including any downloaded or copyrighted image, don't forget to mention it's source.
Probably you don't know that 65% of your readers are visual learners, people love to see than read. That's why I use lots of images for my content. 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.

Great tips, @pitboy.
The first one in particular is essential to reach more readers. I, for example, write in English, Spanish and Portuguese... After I did that, the interaction in my posts has been improving a lot.
