RE: Steemit Blogging 101: Title, Picture, First 100 Characters and WHY they're important!

in #payitforward8 years ago

I will definitely check out your posts and see if I can give any helpful tips. Just remember that your audience is going to be varied depending on what you write/create. Never expect that all your followers will read all your content. That's part of the reason why my blogs remain diverse: from helpful tips, short stories, to art and humor. I want the broadest audience I can get. So don't limit yourself either.

Are you on Twitter or somewhere that I could send private messages? And THANK YOU for the mention on Silver Lining. You've got some awesome initiatives to help benefit your nephew and other charitable organizations. BRAVO.

I have a Twitter account, but I don't use it anymore. I'm on steemit.chat though. I don't use it as much as I used to, but I still get on it from time to time. Thanks for checking, @merej99! :D

My problem lies with people not even opening my posts, as (painfully) evidenced by the read count. I used to post very varying post topics, but it didn't get much traction so I switched gears. Art? One of my lowest-voted posts. Photo? A passing thought. Hahaha! Even though I could diversify by posting topics I don't have any knowledge about, I made a conscious effort not to. Not a knock against other people, but I'd rather not post anything than profit from other people's work. By that I mean, putting up a post that's at least 90% info you can find elsewhere on the net, translations of other people's work, etc.
