How To Increase Your Posts Popularity Part 1? 如何让你的文章更受欢迎 上？

　　社区最近来了很多新朋友，我在这里对大家表示热烈的欢迎，因为有了你们的加入，才让这个社区的未来变得更美好了些。

　　有人在网上问我，自己发文章了有段时间了，为什么点赞的人不多，阅读的人也很少呢？

　　其实这个问题先前也有些人问过我，一直没有做系统的回答，今天趁着刚好有些时间，我稍微理了下，写下了这篇文章，怎样才能让你的文章更受欢迎。

　　在开始正式的内容之前，我需要先说明，这篇文章里的一些忠告或者建议，并不一定能保证你阅读后马上见效，但如果你按照去做并坚持下来一段时间后，相信一定会看到不错的效果。

　　1、注意一些基本的要点；

　　你在发布文章时，看下自己有没犯下边的一些问题：

　　1>通篇用加粗字体。不是不能，加粗是用来表示重要性，但如果整个篇幅你都用加粗，那就通篇都没重点了，反而让人看了很压抑。

　　2>乱用斜体。

　　英文和其它一些拉丁语系的文字等用斜体有时候会很好看，但亚洲的文字比如中文、日文、韩文等，用斜体是相当的丑陋。中文是象形文字，有人说写字就如其人，你想象下如果一个人东倒西歪地站在你面前，你会是什么感受？是不是心里特别堵得慌？或者感觉很不好？对，就是这样的。

　　3>段落之间没有留足够的行间距。

　　行间距很重要。试想下，当你看到一篇密密麻麻的文字时，即便这篇文章很优秀，但你会有耐心看下去吗？我相信大多数都不愿意看到这样的情况，是的，我也不例外。

　　4>注意避免错别字、整体排版等。

　　文章编辑好后，你要检查下，确认错别字都修改过了，Steemit提供7天内文章都是可以修改的，过了结算周期后，你的文章将被永久地写在区块链上，也将无法再修改。

　　Steemit的编辑器很不好用，嗯，这点我承认，之前我也为此吐槽过，确实如此，但它支持Markdown语法，什么？你说你不懂Markdown语法？Markdown太难了？嗯嗯，说实在话，其实对于我们普通大众来说，只要能使用就很好了，不一定非得要去学习语法等技术，对，就是要这样的，非常高兴的是，网上支持Markdown语法的工具还是很多的，@luneknight 刚刚为大家整理了篇文章，《Fun with Markdown 如何轻松写Markdown》，内容就是教大家如何傻瓜式地轻松使用好Markdown ，有喜欢学习的同学可以点击这里阅读学习。

　　5>每篇文章不要太长，也不要过短。建议适当地插入些图片、视频。

　　每篇文字不要太长，太长容易让人疲倦，很难有耐心读下去，而太短会让人认为作者过于敷衍。通常来说我一般习惯将每篇文字控制在1000字左右，当然，这个不是硬性规定。

　　如果能在文章中适当地插入一些相关的图片、视频等，让文章图文并茂，那效果就更棒了，会让你起到事半功倍的效果。   

如何让你的文章更受欢迎 下？

Recently a lot of new friends have joined our community, I'd like to welcome you all, because of your participation, our community has become better and better!

Someone asked me online that, "I've been publishing for awhile now, but there are not many upvotes and viewings, why?"

Actually i've been asked this question before, but i didn't have a conclusive answer, since i have some time today, i consolidate my thoughts and write this article to share with you, how to increase your posts popularity?

Before we start, i need to clarify that, the suggestions and advice in this article might not guarantee immediate result, but if you follow them and be consistent for a period of time, i believe you will see very good effects. 

1. Here are a few key points, before you publish your posts please check if they have these issues below:

1) Use bold fonts throughout your post. 

    It's not that you can't do so, but a bold font is for emphasizing the important points, so if you use it throughout the whole post, it will lose its meaning and give your viewer a depressing feeling. 

2) Misuse of Italic fonts. 

    English and other alphabetic languages look good in Italics sometimes, but Asian characters such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean are less aesthetic in Italic fonts. Chinese is hieroglyphic, as some people think that your handwriting represents your character, so imagine if a person slouches in front of you, how would you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable or uneasy? Yes that's it.

3) There is no spacing between each paragraph.

    The spacing between paragraphs is very important. Imagine when you look at a page full of words packed together, no matter how great the writing is, will you have the patience to read it? I believe that most people don't enjoy this kind of layout, and yes, me neither. 

4) Avoid typographical error, and pay attention to your overall layout design. 

    After editing your article, make sure to proofread it, and correct any typographical error. Steemit allows you to make changes within 7 days, but after 7 days your posts will be permanently written on the blockchain, so you can no longer edit it.

    Steemit's editing tool isn't the best, yes this is true and i have complained about it before too. But the good thing is it supports Markdown. What? You don't know how to use the Markdown? Markdown is too complicated? Hmm, actually for the most of us, as long as we know the basics it will be fine, we don't have to understand the technical details like a professional programmer. The good news is, there are a lot of editors online that support Markdown codes, @luneknight has written an article to teach us how it works- Fun with Markdown. It shows you an idiot-proof way of using Markdown, if you are interested to find out more, please click here. 

5> Each article should be neither too long nor too short. It is recommended to insert some pictures and videos appropriately.

   Your post should not be too long, because if it's too long then your readers will feel difficult to read it patiently, and easily get tired; if it's too short, people might think you are insincere. Generally speaking, I usually keep each post at about 1000 words. Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule.

   If you can appropriately insert some relevant pictures, videos and so on in the article, let the article be illustrated, that effect will be even better, it will make you get double the result with half the effort.
