RE: Magic Steemit Money… or how I became a professional author from a single blog post

is there a science or strategy to post writing on steemit? like you mentioned 300 words - do longer posts tend to get more visibility? and i wonder if thats the platform doing that or just that people are more interested in longer form content here. so interesting....

Sort:  

I think the strategy is, post cool stuff as often as you can, make friends and promote it.

In terms of algorithms, I don't think longer posts get more visibility. More popular posts definitely get visibility.

hahah yes popularity equates to visibility for sure, which is why its harder as a newbie starting out ;p

a lot of my posts dont get any views at all - but i think thats part of starting out new right now. im just focusing on being authentic, writing quality posts, and sharing myself honestly in the community - i think eventually that will build meaningful connections and hopefully make good in strategy of growth as well. but if it doesnt - cest la vie. im here to learn and have fun :)

Get onto some Discord servers, make some friends and share some of your work. You can also use other social media, make a Facebook page, a YouTube channel and so on.

i just learned about discord and joined yesterday! so beginning the journey :) do you mean make a facebook page and youtube thats linked only for steemit purposes? i posted my first youtube video for a steemit openmic that i participated in this week - but just used my regular youtube account ( i barely ever use it). hope im not doing it the wrong way!

thanks for the tips - its because of members like you that newbies like me dont fizzle out from boredom/no interaction in the beginning and also use steemit for the right reasons :) cheers!
