@misko! I just wanted to drop you a line to give you a few pointers if it would be helpful. I noticed that you created this post yesterday but only 12 people have seen it, 2 upvotes have been received for $0.27 payout currently, and mine is the first comment.
I would love to help you get your post noticed by more people because a weekly trivia contest with payouts this substantial is pretty exciting. I would like to be involved myself!
I noticed that "trivia" is your first hashtag. It should be "contest" as the first tag because it is used so much more and people have learned to search it for posts of this nature.
I would suggest amending the instructions to direct participants to make a reply on this post stating that they have sent their answers to steemit.chat. This way others can tell that there is activity on the post.
It may even be good for the replies to include how many and specifically which questions were answered. This way other readers can get an idea of which questions have a higher payout.
It may be a good idea to let the participants know that if they post the answers on this post, they will be disqualified from the prize pool.
You should create a branded thumbnail/first image for this ongoing contest so that people begin to recognize and trust you and the contest. I can help you with that if you need any help.
You should create a section at the bottom of every post that gives a short bio, maybe a profile pic, and mention your involvement with the world's largest trivia game! This will always remind people that you are genuine and qualified.
That's about it. Everything else is really good. I'm going to submit your post to several bots and groups so that you will trend higher in the search results.
The last thing I want to suggest is that you reply to every comment that you receive on any of your posts if possible. I am sure you are pretty busy but if you can find a way to do that, you will develop a more loyal following that trusts your responsiveness.
Thanks brother! I'm following!
Thank you for the feedback, @pippininja! I really appreciate it. It all seems like excellent advice! I will make all of these updates to the contest post as soon as possible, and will try to reply every comment . Thanks for the resteem and thanks for following!
