Hi @anna-redhead. So basically for someone who's only been here for a month, you are doing remarkably well at getting good quality posts out there. Your cover page is brilliant, lovely design. Your shots are superb, and your posts are well formatted and interesting. I noticed that you do better on the travel tag, as opposed to photography, so you might want to consider that a little...perhaps the sort of people who are following travel are more likely to enjoy your blogs. I'd also consider making it a little more accessible in terms of helping people get to where you are... Lets face it, who doesnt want a fabulous life of digital nomaddery, two beautiful people enjoying the best life has to offer? Right!!! So, why not put in some tips of how to get to doing it? Encourage people. Make your Steemit journey something to share! I think you're going to do well here, and I'd encourage you to put your earnings into Steem Power for now, and get your upvotes up. You're doing great, and I think you'll be rivalling @sweetsssj before you know it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog and your advice, @anarcotech! Truth be told my latest posts had some success thanks (big thanks!) to help and mentoring of @lucky.digger who found me on steemit.. somehow :D
Helping people get to where we are sounds interesting! I think I could share my experience with video footage selling first... Thanks again, I will do my best aand hope it works! 😁
Hi @anarcotech, I just followed your advice and made a post about how to sell stock footage like we do, hope it's good 😊 thanks again 😊
Yes, a great post. So two slightly more in depth comments. Firstly, I'd drive the WHY at the beginning. Ask it as a question "would you like your camera to make you money whilst you sleep" or something like that. It will really drive curiosity. If there is anything I've learned from observing clickbait (and being a psychologist specialising in linguistics and social behavioural engineering) its that if a person mentally answers the question as "YES" internally, they are way more likely to click on it. Getting an upvote and curation always begins with the click.
Secondly, you threw me in the post with a technical aspect which you didn't explain. I've heard of whitebalance but I have no idea what it is or how to use/do/fix/work with it. So there's your next post maybe? Teach photo-dummies like me how to use a camera. Now THAT would get me following!!! You see how it works? You have so much in terms of skills that you can offer, so slowly drip it out to people, make them want it...make them care about your posts as you care about crafting them. Blogging is a great deal about information and learning. Humans love to learn. so help us. Show me where I'm going wrong as a completely amateur photographer/filmmaker and let me eat out of your hand as I upvote you, because you feel like my friend when you do!
You're clearly keen to grow. So lets grow!
Great advice once again! :D Thank you so much! Would really like to enter your mentoring programme! :)
Now I need to think how to make a post about white balance interesting :D
btw, can your camera shoot in Raw format?
I have absolutely no idea. And there's another topic for you. It's a canon EOS 550d if thats any help.
Awesome! I have the same camera! :D
