Explore several ways to intrigue your followers and create the best content you can for Steepshot!
Hey there Steemians,
In 2017, the Steem blockchain expanded once again with the addition of Steepshot. As most of you know, Steepshot is a social media app/platform that allows users to share photos, videos, and inspiration alike.
Steepshot is geared toward people who are socially active. The platform gives all different kinds of people the chance to share their vision in the form of photos. Steepshot, like Instagram, is all about creating the best content for your followers.
The application itself is extremely user-friendly. The layout is simple and aesthetically pleasing, so the rest is up to you. So, How can you create the best content possible for Steepshot?
Be Original
Being original is huge on all platforms of social media. People are more inclined to take an interest in your posts if they know the content is truly yours. Taking the photos yourself, and maybe even showing behind the scenes footage, is a great way to build a larger following.
Quality
One of the most important things, however, is to make sure your photos are pleasing to the eye. High-quality images are much better to look at than some pixelated offhand photos.
You want to make sure that there isn’t too much going on in your post so that people are able to focus. Experimenting with different editing tools is also a great way to make your content more aesthetically pleasing. But make sure not to over edit, as that can sometimes look cheesy and excessive.

Understand Your Target Audience
A great place to start on Steepshot is to establish what kind of content you want to be posting, and what you want others to get out of your Steepshot page. On Instagram, I follow several photographers, who only post professional photos, and some funny bloggers, who post funny videos and inspirational quotes for other writers.
It is similar for Steepshot. People love structure, so it is important to build a strong following around that. If you are a travel blogger, share your travels with the world! And don’t forget to use tags on your photos that pertain to what you have posted.
Post and Engage

Posting and engaging with your followers is the key to success. According to SteemRocket,
the best time to post is on
Monday and Thursday between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm EST.
It is extremely useful to take advantage of this fact and to post and reply to your followers during the times where people are going to be more active on the site. It really does make a difference when someone you look up to and follow is able to take the time to reply, and maybe even shout out their followers, so don’t forget that!

Thanks @hyperfundit for this. I joined steemit December last year but only became active sometimes February. And since then, i have brought in more than 30 people to this platform, people who look up to me for direction and guidance.
It's great learning about steepshot and more so, learning about the best times to posts contents.
I must confess that i didn't know about that aspect.
This post made my day and blessed me.
Thanks so much!

Nice read! Will definitely give it a try .
Thank you! :)
This is an interesting post and covers many of the important aspects of posting not only to Steepshot, but to many different social media sites. I didn't know about Steemrocket though! I will have to check it out. Thank you! :)
Thanks for checking out the post, @devi1714. I'm glad it was informative and interesting enough to have you want to check it out! Happy you liked it.

@resteiker3 thanks for your post. We are recent steepshoter, and the most valuable information we got out your post is the great infographic from @Steemrocket - we had guessed that US time was important and we are in Australia which makes it slightly tricky as the community is much smaller.
We are really new Steemit still, have been reading about it for quite sometime before we jumped on it. We are also users of Instagram and I have to stay we find it very tricky to understand how to gain visibility on Steepshot - probably a mix of being new, Steepshot being new as well. We mainly post about our travels with only our photos and theme our content but it is still a steep learning curve to understand how to gain visibility. The visibility is definitely a different story to Instagram.
Hi @nomadsfix, thanks so much for reading this post! Happy to have you in the Steemit community and I hope to see some of your posts and photos!
I currenlty got the test fligt beta app for ios, its good, but as you said I need to be original, target and post quality. Thanks,
Very helpful tip on the most effective time to post! I was wondering about this the other day. Timing is everything when you don't have a big following.
Thank you for sharing this!
It was very useful post for me to learn about steep-shot.
Thank you, @dwcp! Glad it was helpful for you.
