Leofinance Engagement: Commenting On Comments

There is no doubt that we have to take the activity on Leofinance to another level. We now have a reason to be involved and to do all we can to get things moving forward.

A few weeks back we got the introduction to the new Leo Ad Revenue model which relayed how the revenue generated from the ads on the different Leofinance websites is going to be used to benefit the Leo Power holders. This means that everyone with stake has a vested financial interest in the site becoming as successful as possible.

People often state how they want to be part of those who benefit, well here is the opportunity. Each LEO that is staked is going to see itself compounded by the ad revenue.

The goal has to be a 10x over where it is now. If that can be achieved, we will see potentially a 40% return each year. Imagine that for a second, the value of your LP increases 40% in direct return (not including market action).

Does that excite you? Judging by the response in the comment section of that post, it looks like it did.

However, after a few weeks, what are people doing is the question.

Increasing Visibility On Leofinance

We see a number of initiatives to try and improve the optimization of Leofinance. This is being done in an effort to do exactly what was described above: drive traffic. We are seeing this complimented by activity on Twitter.

For example, we see @howzat wrote about 1.4K Impressions so far on My LeoFinance Posts Shared on Twitter. This is genuine traffic that generates clicks on Leofinance. While this is not going to make Leofinance a top 10 site on Google, it does help a great deal.

Out of those 1,400 clicks, might there be one person who took a genuine interest in what is happening here?

We cannot answer this question. The key point is that we are dealing with numbers. More is better. We want a larger number to funnel in here, which will help the page views, ultimately creating people who sign up.

The starting point is traffic.

Increasing The Activity

Nobody is going to join a dead site.

This is nothing more than common sense. For that reason, engagement is vital. Each week, there is a posting about LeoFinance Engagement. This charts the progress of each individual and their activity through the Leofinance front end.

Here is where we need to focus a great deal of attention. If the people doing the optimization and Twitter marketing are successful, more people will be driven here. What happens if they get here and find very little engagement? Naturally, they will just leave.

Remember, if you are holding Leo Power, this is now your operation. You have a vested financial interest in the revenue generated here. For years people complained how they couldn't get involved and the whales overlooked them. Well, now this is your baby so time to tend to it.

With the amount of people we have here, it is absurd that we do not have 10K comments per week made from the Leofinance front end. People say that 200 comments per week is too hard. My answer to that is, no it really is not. Sure, if you are one of the people out on Twitter, Tik Tok, or Facebook trying to generate traffic, then time becomes an issue. However, we know the majority are not doing that either.

Nevertheless, we will make life a bit easier for everyone involved.

Commenting On Comments

Here is a simple way for everyone to increase their activity. In fact, this could come under the concept of simple decency.

How many times do you go through an article and see people commenting and the author not respond? This is simply unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

Nevertheless, many of the top authors do engage with their audience. Yet there is another area where people fall short.

How often do you make a comment to someone and he or she never replies? Certainly this can happen periodically due to simple volume. However, there are people you consistently reply to and never hear back.

Here is a golden opportunity for people to start engaging more. When people are discussing worthwhile topics, especially within the context of the article, it can really add to the knowledge base. At the same time, it helps to reinforce the optimization if people are hitting upon the main keywords in the article.

Let us look at an article that discussed the topic of BOOST Traffic And SEO Rankings With Twitter Presence. If you scroll down to the comments, look at what you see. There were basically 4 people generating almost 30 comments, all in one article.

More importantly, look at some of the gems within the comment section.

adrevenue.png

That is a fairly impressive forecast. Getting to $10K per month, 2.5x from where we are by the end of 2022. Then a 10x by 2025.

Would anyone on here be upset about that?

The key is push like we've been doing lately. What if we increase that significantly?

Here is where commenting on comments comes in. Not only are we generating more activity but helping the SEO on each article that it takes place with. As long as people are discussing things that are pertinent, we could see a boost in that article's ranking.

What is amazing is this all feeds upon itself. The more comments that are made, the easier it is for everyone else. Here is where we can see things go exponential. If we have 50 people looking at things in this manner while seeking out those opportunities to add to "conversations", we can see the numbers jump.

And bigger numbers, not matter where they are within the Leofinance ecosystem, have a positive impact.

Therefore, in closing, consider this and how it can affect Leofinance. We all have a responsibility to step up to the place. After all, we are only trying to give your Leo Power a 40% annual return. Is it too much to expect each LP holder to step up?

There is money on the line so it is time to get active. If you did not figure it out by now, when it comes to Leofinance, you better have the ownership mindset.

While I obviously agree with everything you said, I just wanted to point out that $48K in a single month is extremely difficult, but it is doable. I think it will take us roughly 3 years.

It depends on various factors obviously, but I don't think that we will reach that amount by just having the Ads we have currently. Perhaps I should've clarified that in the original comment.

That being said, $10K Ad Revenue in a month? No doubt. We're already up to ~4000 USD so it's a bit more than double our current revenue.

My reasoning behind that statement is rather simple actually. I have already seen the traffic we're getting from search engines so far, and I know that we have some killer content out there, which is just waiting to be ranked.

Also, we have more optimized content being published regularly, and a lot of that content has huge potential to generate traffic over time.

What we need is more engagement and more optimized content. The more the better. The sooner the better. The sooner people realize that optimized content is what will take LeoFinance and Hive to the next level, the faster we'll see the true benefits from our hard labour.

40% annual return wouldn't be too shabby at all, and the most insane part about it, is that it's doable. We can take LeoFinance to the next level.

The question is, if people are ready to put in some extra effort for it..?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And that is just what we do in-house here. There are obviously things that can be done to optimize the site itself and rearrange ads.

Like you said, lets hit the low hanging fruit first.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

and rearrange ads.

I even covered that as well ~a week ago or so. All these "little" things will have an insanely powerful effect in the long haul.

I honestly don't think that people are ready for it. They can't even imagine the outcome we can have.

Low-hanging fruit is definitely the easiest thing to begin with, for everyone. Kids can pick up some of the fruits on the ground. No need to climb trees yet.. But we will, eventually.

That's when the fun really begins.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well, there are a lot of priorities for the development team. I think the working on the app/website is more important than ad placement at this point.

After all, the site is tried and needs a refresh. I just posted a link to someone using the updated mobile. A nice share feature added. Make is easier to spread the Leofinance articles around.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

One other thing we need to keep in mind is that #ProjectBlank is going to also have ads. That will feed into Leo Power holders.

That could really escalate things if we see it emerge this year.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah, PB can have massive effect on the Ad Revenue. It's crazy to even think about it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I believe that one can get 100K user fairly easily. If it is like Khal said it was going to be, that will be an easy sell to people.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You built it, and they have come.

Just wondering but how much does engagement help on the SEO rankings?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I am by no means an expert and @hitmeasap will have to jump in.

However, the idea of comments is that it can "extend" the article. I dont think the search engines really separate. They look at it as all one page.

Hence, if we have keywords being hit up in the comment section, that support what is in the article, then it is a bonus.

Now to quantify it, I would guess that is impossible. However, as know engagement also can stimulate more of it, thus increasing the odds that a keyword could be hit.

Comments carry many benefits, both to the individual and the platform.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I had the same question! Thanks for clarifying that, or at least how you think it works. If the engines look at it all as one page it makes complete sense!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes and that is why it is important to reinforce certain keywords in the article. That only strengthens them.

And then, if that article is linked on other ones at later dates, it becomes "expert" with those keywords.

As I said, that is how I understand it to be.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

There was someone doing excellent SEO posts and live discord events for the Natural Medicine community... I'm gonna see if I can find who that was, she was so knowledgeable and helpful for the community. With lists of "keywords" and things like that that were closely related to @naturalmedicine's mission.

@riverflows, if you get this ping maybe you can chime in, where can I find this wonderful person we had on board the community?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is smart for all the different communities, if they have front ends, to follow this concept.

Having keywords in the natural medicine community would be vital. That is very targeted but powerful.

It seems finance is a bit bigger but equally as important. Even if it helps the traffic to Peakd or Hive.blog, it is helping the entire ecosystem.

The difference is that the traffic on Leofinance helps the ad revenue which feeds into our Leo Power holdings.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The question is, if people are ready to put in some extra effort for it..?

I think with the right incident people will put in the effort. Maybe leofinance can organise weekly or monthly SEO masterclass on telegram or discord. Get some of its regular creators to learn the rudiments of SEO. That will go a long way

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Maybe leofinance can organise weekly or monthly SEO masterclass on telegram or discord.

There are ongoing discussions about it. Anyone who follows @forexbrokr or @hitmeasap will come across this. We can add in @finguru who is also out there putting a lot of attention on SEO.

It is only a matter of discussing it. Perhaps we need to start dropping comments into peoples articles stating they should start optimizing their content.

100%. You don't need to be perfect every time. Just keep getting better by learning tips from millions of experts out there on the internet and within Leo Finance community. Over time things will work in your favor.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

If we have enough people applying a few tips each, that will really make the difference.

As with anything, it comes down to the numbers. The more people engaged, the better the results.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Perhaps we need to start dropping comments into peoples articles stating they should start optimizing their content.

Haha! We need to take such desperate measures if people don't listen. 😂

Yes. We can also help to optimize then even further.

Engagement is something that has to continually be highlighted.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Ooh I would join in those classes, I'd like to learn more about SEO

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Google can be helpful...on non biased topics at least. LOL

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The best tip is to keep linking older Leofinance articles in your posts and comments.

Link to ones that are applicable to the subject matter.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Not sure about the masterclass but I am planning to publish actionable tips & hacks on SEO, marketing & how to become a better writer in general. Follow @leoseo! Will try to provide as many resources as possible. Like blogs, infographics, presentations, videos, book suggestions, etc. All of us can also go out there and learn on our own and share the knowledge with each other.

Will also launch SEO contests where everyone takes part to put their learning to use. We can revisit those blogs in 6 months or so and see how they perform. In the meantime, we keep trying hundreds of things as creators and I am pretty sure at least one will hit. Just need to have a self-learning attitude & immense amount of patience. :')

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Just keep dropping tidbits.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Sure!!! Goes without saying.

This is quite useful. Thanks for the initiative. I just followed the leoseo account. Looking forward to more updates

That is another great Leofinance initiative.

"There is money on the line so it is time to get active. If you did not figure it out by now, when it comes to Leofinance, you better have the ownership mindset."

This is the key to LeoFinance's long-term growth. It's how Hive has existed and thrived for 4 years.

Decentralization of power and true platform ownership. With great potential rewards, comes great responsibility

With great potential rewards, comes great responsibility

Something people seem to overlook. Instead, they prefer to sit back and let someone else do it.

What is Khal doing? When is he going to do (fill in the blank)? That is fine if the one questioning is doing his or her part.

How many are doing that?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Engagement is Key. I always try to focus on interacting with those who comment on my blog posts. My blog is usually very active so its not possible to always do so. I will always value interaction over rewards. The add revenue share is very interesting and I suspect we see more of that with other frontends in the near(ish) future.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The add revenue share is very interesting and I suspect we see more of that with other frontends in the near(ish) future.

That could be true for those which have tokens. However, not all do.

It will be interesting to see how they adapt. In my view, it is a sound idea and part of the Web 3.0 model.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Forty percent return on my Leo would be really nice.

And all I have to do is respond to comments.

Seems like a no-brainer

Well there is more to it than that. The link to the ad revenue announcement explains it all.

But the revenue from Ads is going to be fed into Leo Power. We are looking at about 4% per year now. But through engagement and optimization on posts, we are looking to increase that a great deal.

By 2025, according to @hitmeasap, we could see a 10x or 40%.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I am trying to remember my initial LEO goal.

I think I wanted 5000LEO

Each would be worth $10USD and it would actively pay 10%

I was looking into 12 different hive projects which could each net me $5000 a year, so that I could have a $5000 income.

You know. I am ready to make my next set of crypto goals.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I was looking into 12 different hive projects which could each net me $5000 a year, so that I could have a $5000 income.

That challenge I see with this is that it is hard to manage, stay upon, and fund that many projects. I found those that start with 3 or 4 can make some amazing progress.

One might take off that makes up for all the rest.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Being "early" on STEEM makes it so that we are automatically a part of 3 or four projects.

I am finding that others that I invested in 3 years ago, need only a little tending, and they will keep growing.

Like splinterlands - the game has made it so that the growth has been exponential, and now it is generating passice income.

I remind myself that I am building something I can cash out "later"

But yeah, 12 is a lot...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Those who got into SPlinterlands early really were able to benefit. Many of them are now at the point where they are riding a huge wave. It should only get better for them.

I keep building a base in some areas and then letting it grow. So then I can keep active focus on a few and the rest is passive.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

As noted below, we are also going to see #ProjectBlank coming out which will also have ads. Those are going to be fed into Leo Power holders also.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Does it matter where we comment through or only that it shows up on the Leo website?

I personally use the LeoFinance interface, but it doesn't matter, as long as the comments are visible on LeoFinance. After all, we're just talking about boosting the overall engagement on Hive and it's communities. That's how we will look attractive to outsiders. No one would join a dead or inactive community, so having an active, good looking community is vital for our success in the long haul.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

We should have an "adopt a tribe" event, where we all invest 1 HIVE and 1 Post to a tribe.

Then we wait to see if anything long lasting came from it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes it does.

If you comment through another front end, it does not show up on the Leofinance numbers. Also, any LEO payouts you receive on your posts or comments will be reduce by 20% (HIVE/HBD is unaffected).

So yes there are advantages to using Leofinance to post and comment.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is like we have this great big house with this great big banquet in all these amazing rooms, and the same people keep running back and forth between them to enjoy them all.

That's the attitude. LOL

Time for all of us to look in the mirror.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And, start clicking ads. Lol doesn't that help too?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Certainly clicking ads from time to time helps. Just dont be abuse with it since they tend to have metrics in place to pick up gaming the system.

But a click here and there cant hurt. I am not sure what the ad revenue is based upon but traffic to the advertisers will get noticed.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think it could potentially, but to me it is not worth it. If ggole sniffs out that clicks are coming from within leofinance only they will shut it down.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

What I love about this is it's outside value coming into LEO which I think is critical to growth and success of any token. It's why I think ads should be one of the first lines of building value for a project and token such as this (done smartly as you don't want to overpower the site with ads and kill the UI)

Can't wait for the monthly report and to see that APR added on to the wallet page. I'm hoping it's introduced at the start of May.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Can't wait for the monthly report and to see that APR added on to the wallet page. I'm hoping it's introduced at the start of May.

Yeah there was no indication when the first (next?) report would be released or when the payouts would start. We will just have to wait on that.

However, commenting certainly has to be a part of what takes place here. We need to get the numbers up across the board. They all feed into the financial.

Of course, that will directly translate into time spent on site, etc...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It's a great idea actually! A cool way to interact and make more friends. I do it when I have the time and the mood. Learnt it from you Task. Love it when you takeover my comment section every now and then, upvote and reply on all them :))

It also motivates the original author of the post to engage in.

Taking over a comment section, as you say, is vital. That is where commenting on comments comes in. Sure we have time zone differences but for the most part, it is easy to catch up throughout the day.

People need to pay attention to their notifications.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Excellent summary both of opportunities but also to do here on Leofinance. I have my LF site linked under every episode I post of my Podcast to make people aware of it and I am engaging more and more on Twitter with Hive/LF related accounts.
40% return is great and LEO is still tiny. Let’s grow it and make it a top Finance site within Web3 and a relevant one for Web2.

40% return is great

It sounds like an absurd rate but when we really break it down, it is very achievable. There are roughly 600 users on Leofinance. What do the numbers look like if that gets to 6K? Or 25K?

When we consider that, 25K is still not a large site. Yet it would send the ad revenue skyrocketing.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You mean 600 daily active users?

I think that is more like monthly.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Engagement really does make a post more alive. This alone says a lot as it shows people are actually reading contents and getting involved. Thank you for making this out here, we need to do our share indeed.

I try to hit up all on the trending page because it is vital to the landing of newer people.

Of course, hitting up the new posts can also kick off conversations in those sections.

Basically we need a lot more articles with 100+ comments.

This starts with commenting on comments.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I certainly see a lot of sense in this, but the bottom line is working together as well as consistency and I believe the milestone is achievable and even beyond.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well it doesnt take a team as much as each person focusing upon where he or she can contribute. Adding a dozen or so comments a day could go a long way.

Also, it gets easier with the commenting on comments idea since there is a lot more to put up.

It helps to foster engagement from others.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes it will take a little while to get on people's radar but it is certainly possible. Most everyone who is being supported now was new at some point.

Commenting is a great way to help that along. Just take a look at @jfang003. He joined a little over a year ago, had no follow but is known on Leofinance by all the big players. What is his secret? Hundreds of comments per week.

In other words, he engages like there is no tomorrow.

Ironic that, from a technological standpoint, this was possible long before 2020. Yet business and individuals resisted.

Now remote work is becoming the norm. We are going to see an increase in it towards the middle of the decade when I believe it will be the norm. What can be done remotely will be.

Cryptocurrency is only going to add to it. This is a way for people to be rewarded for what they do. It will only keep growing.

Yes, it could have been possible long before the pandemic.

They always thought people wouldn’t “work” as hard as they should at home. Now people proved the companies wrong. Some even work better at home, longer than they should, just because they don’t have the hassle of commuting, and think let’s just finish something quickly etc.
I think it’s great… a better life /work balance can be achieved this way.

The Owner Mindset... It's a hard one for people, especially when they used to "renting", or facebook/twitter an all that. It's easy when there's no responsibility in keeping the place running well!

I have encountered many times, posting comments and never getting a reply from the author of the post.

We have a stake in the game now for sure, we always kind of did in a way through steemit and now Hive, but with 40% everyone should be interacting more. Including me... I haven't been writing nearly as much as I used to!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You hit the nail on the head. Those who understand the Owner Mindset will have to take different action. What is that mindset? The willingness to do whatever is required.

Few seem to have that. They prefer the "it is not my job".

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah thanks, I know it very well... bought a an apartment in NYC some 15 years ago, it was in a building that used to be subsidized by the city, so everyone in there was getting "hand outs" to live there in a way. in 1991, the city decided to sell each apartment to the tenants for $250 (that's not a typo by the way), Today, while they're sitting on a quarter of a million dollar apartment, they still think the board and management company are responsible for all repairs and upgrades... those that are still in the building still have the renter mindset, so there's no pride in making it work.

I assume it's pretty much the same way in all aspects of life. It takes a village!

Yes I would presume it is. People do not seem to understand the concept of a cooperative. This is something that can make a huge difference.

I will have to put together a post on this now that we are discussing it.

Another advantage to commenting, get ideas for posts.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

This is the real thing you discuss here.
Production brings more value.
Leofinance with Hive and in the long run build a habit
for commenting is something that need great push across the platform.
Leofinance engagement is a great example how it empowers everyone to post like commenting.

You set great example and clearly everyone capable of building a reputation on Leofinance should follow

!BEER

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I would say the engagement on Leofinance is decent. To me, we are a long way from great.

When people are starting to take the commenting serious and engaging like their financial future depends upon it, then we will see greatness.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Here we are doing our bid to take and make the stakes high.
I don't think it's because of the rewards that are attached now to being active in whatever way.

Engagement is vital and it makes no sense leaving a comment hanging.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

With the new Ad Revenue model, we are finding that we are seeing it become more than just rewards, at least direct.

The money generated will be fed to those holding stake. So anyone who has Leo Power, no matter how much, is going to be enhanced.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

A call out to stake more lion to get more rewards from the Ad Revenue.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yep. And to get more rewards from the Ad Revenue, we need to do all we can to increase said Ad Revenue.

Every little bit helps.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The little things matters.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And add up over time. All of this is compounding. We just need to take the steps to do it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Not sure what to comment on here, not my place as a small fish. It's not a new problem, we need an Activity Meter in the UI to signal people where to engage. That's my unlicensed opinion. Make a Ring around the ICON and let it be grey, yellow, purple or green as a signal. That will be gamed for sure, but the game will boost the platform for sure.

Not a bad idea. There are many ways things can be gamified.

Whatever is done, it is ultimately to draw attention to the idea of engaging. And this falls to everyone.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I tried to be extremely active in comment sections for a short period of time back on STEEM. After reading an interesting post, I felt like assisting by adding my two cents to every interesting comment below it.

But people really hated that I did that, @Exyle even blocked me for that. I tried to make the point of making an effort to drive engagement, but since comments get upvotes, people felt offended by it and declared it spammy.

Personally, I think smart posts should have thousands of comments and the 'Genesis' post should be able to benefit by getting a cut of the comment rewards. That might be a good way to incentivize a change in comment culture because you really do have a positive impact on the success (rewards) of s post by engaging with it in the comment sections.

But what do I know, maybe these ideas are already worn out and not smart at all.

If the author of the post is getting a cut of the comment rewards, isnt there less incentive to comment?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I totally don't think so, rather none is engaging to get juicy comment upvotes, and even if, which is a big iffy, then sharing xy% with the post isn't a big deal at all.

But it opens up a lot of doors and creates a new logical pathway to the old web platforms where the value of content is measured in the created engagement and that is what people are therefore specialized in.

Comment sections on Youtube are basically small universes and totally enjoyable in their depth. Knowing about the importance of that, the content creator is adjusted to stir up conversations down there. Ain't that exactly what you ask for to happen on Leo as well?

YouTube has the same problem as we do. In fact, I would make the case they are no more successful at it than we are. The major difference is that YouTube has a couple billion users. Leofinance is around 500.

But the percentage who comment as compared to those who actually view a video is low.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Youtube has an insane amount of TV & youth consumption, we have 0 of both :P
Makes it really hard to compare the raw numbers.

"How many times do you go through an article and see people commenting and the author not respond? This is simply unacceptable and should not be tolerated."

Amen. "Preach it brother" @taskmaster4450le, as it applies to many. Including some very prominent members of our LeoFi community ...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes and it is truly unacceptable. The next leg will be downvotes on Leofinance of those who dont engage with their commenters. It is something that is part of the process.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hmmm ...

"The next leg will be downvotes on Leofinance of those who dont engage with their commenters."

... if and when that starts, it should provide some interesting drama!

You don't mention it, but I also think an important part of commenting is upvoting them, as good ones most definitely add value to posts.

How do you get more of whatever behavior you like? Reward it! Want to see it go away? Ignore it ...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I have been upvoting comments for months now. Almost everyone in any of my articles gets an upvote. It is a decent amount of LEO (the payout for the commenter is about .5 LEO) along with enough HP to be above the dust level.

So there is incentive there. How many take advantage of it?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah, you most definitely set the "gold standard" all the way around, as you well know. I assume (hope?) you also know I was writing this for others who may be reading this exchange, as again ...

There are some very prominent members of the LeoFi community who do not follow your excellent example ...

Thanks for all you do @taskmaster4450le. I hope you "live long and prosper"! 👍🙂

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Sadly that is true. Some are doing things on Twitter and TikTok which is also helpful. However, there are some who do nothing more than take. We need to start calling those people out.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

This really an eye-opener.I have been guilty of not engaging or commenting on articles I have read even the ones that has impacted on me. I have been in here for 1 year plus but it is now I am getting active and I intend to be more proactive.

One thing I have done with my writing is that I have been sharing it with my friends and also on my Twitter page and have been getting impressions and clicks on it. Especially my article on Zilliqa coin.
This platform is now my own and as you said we need to tend it.

That is very good. However, we all need to realize it is more than just about our own articles. Engaging is what helps the content of others. We all want support yet what are we willing to support each other.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I will try and work on my Engagement and overall activity here.

I hope to see how everything adds up by the end of the year. Next week is going to be different from the last as more people are coming in.

Posted using LeoFinance Mobile

Yes it will all add up by the end of year. And that is a key point. It is not so much where we are now as opposed to by the end of December. That is where the focus needs to be.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

If engagement on Leo will help us raise in Google rankings maybe we should create a small fund to incentivize weekly activity with contests like that one Khal started. Everyone could donate a few Leo and then race the others for the prize.

I feel like people would be more inclined to participate if there was something in it (apart from the AD revenue they will get). It's probably hard for many to see the long-term value of the whole operation.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It could be. There are a lot of directions we can take things. It is all up in the air.

The biggest challenge with all of this is where to start. So many different avenues with Leofinance.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

As always, the first one to take initiative leads the way. We either wait or do something about it I guess.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think the answer is simply more people. That tends to clear up a lot of issues.

Sadly we have other issues preventing the onboarding of people.

A catch 22 as they say.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Should we also comment on the comment comments? lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

If the conversation is interesting and informative, there should be commenting on the comments until the last comment is 3 characters wide.

We got close to that point a couple times.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Always pushing the limits. Someone's gotta do it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Might as well be you.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I feel like when people see someone with a face-tatted horse or a cat with a cupcake as their profile pic pushing the limits, they don't question it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

So you are saying you have a horse tattoed on your face?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Maybe once I have "fuck you money". For now, it's just my avatar, which is a horse with face tattoos. lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Honestly we all have to pertake in anything going on leofinance as the fact remains that everyone benefits from it.i some much understand the point @taskmaster4450le Is making.if we don't put in our best in making things work better,then there is every inclination that if things gets stalk we all will not be getting those benefits we are getting why because we are doing what we are suppose to do.i know it's not easy sometime but we just need to create time for it, everything is all about planning.so engagement should be part of our plannings everyday cos as it stands that is one Major way we attract more users to leofinance and hive.in my own case I will try and be more ctive

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you.

The key point is that everyone holding Leo Power financially benefits from the success in driving more traffic and retaining users. Everyone.

Revenue from the ads will be fed into Leo Power to enhance the return.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The truth is that we must continue promoting #LeoFinance so that it reaches many more users worldwide. Generating 40% annual interest in Leo Power just by having him there is just wonderful and the drive shouldn't just be on Twitter on all the other social networks and the best should be through the deeds that are generated just by having and keeping #Leo.

That is true. Increasing the annual return of Leo Power should be everyone's focus.

After all, we can double it by the end of the year, and then do the same thing next year. If it is 20% by the end of 2023, is anyone going to complain?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Everyone should be trying to make the platforms succeed and I do my part by showing up every day commenting. I think people should start off trying to do 10 comments a day and if we had 100 people doing that, it would be 10k comments already. I also think it's bad to completely ignore your own comment section and never reply. It's weird when I see that happen.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I do my part by showing up every day commenting.

Yes you do. You are a commenting machine.

I think people should start off trying to do 10 comments a day and if we had 100 people doing that, it would be 10k comments already.

It is interesting: you and I are good for about 15% of that per week (1500 or so). That means the rest of the platform has to do less than 9000 combined.

So year with 100 people, that should not be difficult.

Ironically, this is the first post when I realized that commenting on comments in LeoMobile doesn’t work right now. I’m fixing it and will have it updated tonight.

While doing, I hope you don’t mind that I add extra comments to comments on the post about commenting on comments 😂

We cant have the technical glitches. LOL

Yeah that is a problem since we are trying to push commenting. Having it dead on Mobile is a problem.

I can confirm that back when I was new on what is now Hive, my blog started to gain traction not from the posts, but from the comments.

Commenting on the posts of others is what drove some back to my blog for even more inteaction. I "noticed" that. :)

When will the Leo Ad Revenue become effective?

There was no release that I saw on the date of payout nor on when the report would come out.

We will just have to wait and see. The first few will be important to get a baseline on the ad revenue, traffic, and a host of other variables.
