3 Things I learned from Steemit master class

in #steemit7 years ago

Do you want to know how to write better blogs, or get upvotes on your post that you have spent hours and hours of writing? This post will teach you a few easy ways to write better content, and how to lead more upvotes and resteem by others.

Finding topics

Often at times, I heard my partner @darrenting having this issue of “nothing to write”. We have been asked in class what is our interest, we all have our answer straight away. Whats next was that @maverickfoo introduced us Answer the Public. This is the website that works opposite to what Google does. We typed questions on google, and this website, collect all the questions and compile it into one.

You can search through the related words, and it will link you to thousands of questions. For example, I typed greeting cards, and it shows 96 questions relating to greeting card came up.

25-25-25

Now that you and I have come up with our topics. Whats next? In this class, I learned about 25-25-25. Meaning you use 25 minutes to research your topic, another 25 minutes to write, and the last 25 minutes to edit + format your post. I find this very useful because I often spent hours and hours writing my blog, at the end of my day, writing one single blog have taken me 4 hours of my whole day, which is a lot!

Research

What kind of content you are looking into. Your content can be reviewing a product, write a definition of something, anything that is inspiring, etc. For this one you are reading, it is more on to newbie’ guides and tutorials.

Write

You know we have learned about how, what, why, when, wherein primary school. It same goes to this. For example in my case,

  1. What is the purpose of writing things I learn and then share it with you my experience?
  2. Why is it useful if you learn from this post?
  3. When can you use this easy way to write better post
  4. Where can you write a blog post?
Edit + Format

I would love to share with you this easy and care-free website which I have used and introduced to by @maverickfoo in the class. I used Grammarly to edit my post. In class, I was introduced Ginger ( it helps you to rephrase your sentences ) and White Smoke (it works almost the same as Grammarly)

Tagging the right tags

Lastly, after spending time and burning brains on your whole blog, it’s time to tag the right tag. What I have learned in this class is to do research. For example, you are a person who loves traveling, and you might want to go http://steem.supply/ and add a @username behind and research what kind of tags they use to get more upvotes and attention. Since steemit, this platform is transparent to everybody. Why not make use of it.


You search for content insights; you will see top 20 performing tags. That will be the top tags that this user gets the most attention from.

Lastly, if you would like to read about there is four different types of password in our Steemit account, definitely check out Steemit has four different passwords by @darrenting

Once again, thank you @maverickfoo, @deborism, and @awesomianist to share their knowledge on steemit. Also,
nice to meet some of you again and meet you all @borneoairbrush @beverlyjo @viveridae @papanog @wilsonkoh @veenang @gelfire@danieldoughty @connie1018 @kulasago @wilsonkoh, @cathmot, @veenang, @gelfire, @diamondray, @alvinscorner, @emmanuelnukchee @bboyady, @chanelcalestus @eric-isaiah @inugarang @baileyrose @ejlo3310 @darrenting @melcy @alvinauh

The sad truth is that no account on this site will get exposure without using bid bots. The whales have been colluding to do something similar to this for a long time. Even worse, You will never get back more money than you bid to a bid bot. look at steembottracker and it is easy to see that 99/100 times the ROI goes into the negative. Nothing about this site is organic. it is all forced AF. In order to make a profit on a bid bot the ROI would have to be over 300%, and that most certainly never happens.

Never used any bots until I was introduced and know about bots during the masterclass yesterday. I think it's a risk to bid to a bot because most of the ROI is negative and we can see it from their last bid too.

Not the case for me - never used any bots. First I joined a local community of steemians - they helped me out at the very beginning. Then, I just looked at which tags are popular and figured that’s a good place to start. Posted a few posts in Art and some in gaming and that did the trick. Once your profile is strong enough u can join initiatives such as sndbox or curie etc, to find more like-minded people and collectively help each other out :)

Posting during masterclass, legend 😂

Great Recap!

There are many ways one can make it in Steem. @maverickfoo has almost one and half decade of experience and he is teaching the best of the best tips he learned in ALL the years all to you in a day.

Hope for you all to continue being awesome on Steemit and other Steem platforms and who knows what the future holds!
