A few things I've found (with the note that I haven't been here long and often don't break $1.00):
- Curation rules have a big impact. In particular, votes before 30 minutes don't count much for curation rewards.
- A variety of services provide some upvoting support at no cost: posting from busy.org often earns an upvote, joining minnowsupport.org provides a variety of upvoting support opportunities.
- Some tags are VERY busy and some are very empty. So pick where you play
- I think you're doing the right thing: posting original content, and gradually building followers. I think these two factors combine over time to build a support base and enhance your author earnings.
- I think that interacting with the community in other people's posts is a good way to add value and build followers for your content.
Cheers,
Thanks mate, i will keep that in mind!
On your third point you said some tags are very busy and others are very empty... do you mean its better to tag on an empty subject cause the post stays longer on top or on a busy one cause more people will potentially read it...?
Probably perseverance is important too, just keep posting at least once a day..?
Two aspects:
So I think if you have a great post, make sure to include some of the popular ones. If you're more building out content in a new area, expect it to take longer to build a following. I've been trying to do a bit of each.
