RE: Why I Blog On Steemit

in #steemit5 years ago

It's indeed not easy to get noticed these days. There are so many posts published every day... the more dApps, the more posts.

Keep it up, though. I found your post, and others will too. Maybe not this one, but maybe one of the next ones.

It's a matter of patience and being persistent.

You need to get your username out there in order for your posts to get seen. A good way to do so is by joining games and contests.

An example:
the @pifc (Pay It Forward Challenge) runs every week, from Tuesday to Saturday. To enter, you need to find 2 talented blog posts from users with a reputation score below 55 and make a curation post.

People from @pifc ánd all other participants will visit your blog post to check out the bloggers you featured.

If you do this a couple of weeks in a row, you'll already have a small network of people who know who you are.

Same goes for other challenges and contests. Let' see what I can think of from the top of my head...

There's the @googlyeyes contest that is always running
The @freewritehouse always has one running too
There's the Up-Gage challenge
The Information Finding Championship (@ifc) has a couple more rounds to go, you can always join there (latest post)



It might also be useful to get on Discord. Loads of communities have a server on Discord. You can chat with others to get to know more people, but some are also hosting contests and/or giving out tips.

Steem Terminal is a community that focuses on helping newcomers. You can join their server here. You can also promote your posts in the promotion room of Steem Terminal.

In the @steemexplorers Discord server, a lot of the communities that have a server on Discord are listed. You can check them out and join the ones that are related to your interests. This is the invitation link

I won't lie to you, the first couple of weeks won't be easy. But if you keep posting quality content, and make sure you engage with people by leaving insightful comments on their posts, you will slowly gain traction

I think this is an article that is definitely worth reading:
How To Find Or Create Your Community On Steemit



Another good way to get to know people and meanwhile keep track of your progress is by joining @paulag's Redfish Power UP League. You can find all information in the latest edition HERE.

If you publish a new post some time this week that is as good as this one, I might feature you in my own entry for the @pifc. Feel free to drop your link in the comments section of this post :0)

Thanks for taking time out to answer me with great suggestions! I am on Discord so I will check out some the communities.

Great. You'll find a list of communities in the @steemexplorers channel. I already gave you the link above, I notice 😀
