hello sara
you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learn t the hard way.
First,write on your area of strength, don't struggle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.
don't beg for followers.
When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.
When i joined, after my intro post. i went low key and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.
Again,participate in contests, it will connect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders.
Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone to reply on the go. This will help you build your followers.
I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learn t the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )
once more, you are welcome. Nice picture anyway. Let's keep in touch
@arizonawise.
@arizonawise , thank you soooo much on your kind post.. helps a lot, thank you. this is my first attempt of any kind of writing - blog etc, so i still don't know how to write, or on what i should focus.. i hope i will find it, along the way. makes me happy just to share my pictures and bits of my everyday life..
i have a question, how to i participate in contests? everything is still so confusing...
once again, thank you, i will follow your blog, but for the rigth reasons!
greetins from croatia!
greetings from Nigeria.. Croatia always give us the run for our money whenever we meet you guys in a football match.
My dear it goes beyond shearing your daily photos, every one, well all most everyone is doing that, cut a mark for your blog, something that your followers will always look out for. then you can have random posts once in a while, you know variety is the spice of life (blog). But let it be something that you have at your finger tips..say shearing pictures that tells your culture stories.
thank you so much, @arizonawise, i will try to follow your advice!
