RE: Do we REALLY Need "Yet Another Post About Steemit?" Well, Perhaps We DO...

in #steemit8 years ago

I think part off the issue causing this is the fact that posts have such a relatively short lifespan. Being no one, I think my posts last about 26 seconds before they're swallowed, never to be seen or heard from again.

If they would just pin my brilliant Steemit post somewhere that it could be seen by everyone new coming here, that would solve the problem.

At least, I can probably convince myself of that.

On Steemit yes.

They do, it's on Google. Google gives posts on Steemit a higher preference than posts on some other sites. Get on the front page and people will see your post a lot.

In a sense it is. People on Google see your post, they come to Steemit to read your post. Congrats, new people to Steemit are now reading your post for years to come. :)

Good luck on your journey @theblindsquirel

BTW, I just did a search for "Lacto Fermented Green Beans & Swiss Chard Ribs" (in case people are looking for that) and your post was #1 out of 28,300 on Google. Your post goes on living forever.

Wow, thanks @internetguy, I hadn't even bothered to look.

That's a pretty specific long-tail keyword but I'll take it.

I guess I could write a "Steemit" post about how to build a following by driving readers here through targeted keywords. Those do seem to be the money makers.

lol.. true. I did a search for "Lacto Fermented Green Beans" but it didn't show for that.

Well, you do have a point there... our feeds can move extremely fast. I tend to "subdivide" by looking at new posts within specific tags.

Follow-up site activity can be very important. I've noticed quite a few people complain about the declining payout value... happens a LOT less if you're actively engaging and commenting around the community... the flow of new upvotes makes up for any reward pool declines.

True brilliance notwithstanding...

I'm not that organized, I go through my home feed, then new and by the time I've gone through one of those, there are 3 or 4 more posts that require reading and commenting.
