RE: The One Hack That Got me 140 Followers in 7 Days + Advice from @kyriacos
A very useful advice @ogochukwu! Thanks for posting. Upvoted and shared. :)
I realized pretty soon that posting will not get me anywhere by itself, so that idea wasn't a discovery for me, but I really appreciate you writing about the etiquette.
Usually I jump right to the point forgetting to say hello and all the niceties. I am sure that remembering about them will improve how other steemians perceive my writing. People here are very polite and friendly with each other. I am not used to that. :D
Commenting can be a little bit intimidating if you write in a second language or have dyslexia etc. Still, this platform induces confidence thanks to the friendly attitudes. I really appreciate that. I feel welcome and that's very encouraging.
Hello @dana-varahi
Thank you for reading and from your comment it is obvious you read the previous post on the right way to comment.
A comment can be more powerful than a post.
Here on steemit post and comments are all categorised together. Any one who is wise will acknowledge this and make the kind of comments that will spark engagements.
I have seen posts here on Steemit where the pending payout on someone's comment is more than the post itself.
Have a lovely day
@ogochukwu.
Absolutely right. I've only been on Steemit maybe 5 days and I would estimate I'm due more from comments than the posts. And sometimes - and this backs up your point even more - I've got a higher payout from a comment within my own post than the post itself.
An interesting algorithm that newbies need to understand to succeed.
:D I think that's really cool. I like that there is additional incentive for people to interact with each other. It's something that is missing in many other social networks.
Some of my comnents also get more upvotes than my posts. I post in obscure categories so not many folks get to read my stuff. That's ok though. I just hope to bring more people into steemit to populate those categories. :)
Meanwile being able to get followers and higher payouts from posting will be very helpful.
Hello @rycharde
When I tell my friends about Steemit, they are like what will I write about, I tell them I did not have that figured out at first, but I knew I had to get on board first.
Commenting If done right and strategically will do wonders for you, You don't need to post all the time.
@ogochukwu
Thanks for your response. I appreviate it. :)
My feelings when joining steemit were very similar. I knew it was a very good idea and I just wanted to give it a go and take it from there. It's an adventure and I like it.
I started commenting a bit more last couple of days and I got some new follows. It definitely works. Thanks for a good advice. :)
I find creating content fun but I also want to get to know others.
