A tips guide for everyone
Continuing the series of tips, solutions and indications, today in chapter 2 we will address the issue of themes for publications, at the end of this post you will find a link that will take you to chapter 1, if you haven't read it, don't forget to check it, I mentioned the importance interactions in the community.
For those who are still new to HIVE, they probably go through the Trendings or New tab to find out what people are talking about and comment on publications, or start writing about topics that were always on their minds and would like to expose.
There are several ways on how you can bring content here, and in today's posts I'll give you tips on how to find themes, and what the community generally consumes, this can help you always have content to publish daily and along with that increase your rewards a bit, since you'll be bringing content that you want to be consumed.
Remembering that the tips that I will bring are not the only ones that work, there are thousands of others, but I will bring the ones that I use and that work and have already worked at some point in HIVE with me.
Introduce Yourself
It seems like a simple and silly thing to say, but yes, this is something fundamental in the community. As we have the spirit of welcoming new users and consequently wanting them to grow on the platform together with us, we like to create bonds of empathy and I believe that there is nothing better than getting to know the person who has just arrived and see if there is any familiarity with us.
When I say presentation I'm not talking about showing your face (especially because a lot of people are in the world crypted by anonymity) but about presenting yourself about who you are in the community and what your goals are.
You might be someone who doesn't want to show your face and will talk for example only about the stock market, and hope to teach people about it. There, you introduced yourself and spoke your intentions and ambitions to the community. You might, for example, be someone who likes music and movies, and will bring posts about the interaction of music in movies. Again created a link between you and some user who has the same taste about the seventh art.
Niches
The more subjects we cover the better, because we were able to reach a greater number of people and that's great, after all you will be increasing your network of connections. But talking about specific niches at certain times can be a good thing too.
We have for example the LeoFinance tribe, which for those who don't know you can access through leofinance.io and receive in addition to Hive for your publications, you will also receive LEO which is the tribe's token, that is, increasing your reward amount by one Publication.
However, there is the question of the niche. Posts using the 'leofinance' tag is only for content related to money, finance, things like that, just as the splinterlands tag is for game-related stuff, and proofofbrain is for general subjects where you have to use your brain to produce the content presented.
That's why it's interesting that you always explore the tabs of new publications to learn more about what tags users are using, so that you can present your content to a larger number of people who were interested in it (after all, the tag will work too as a sort of filter on what content you want to consume) you can also get a higher income.
Trending
Sometimes you get a cool idea about a subject, sit down, write, dissect the whole subject, and get very little reward and comments, which gives the impression that you 'failed' to bring in certain content.
Sometimes the Trending tab can help you understand this. At certain times, some topic will be more hotly discussed by the community, whether for some time it is going through.
Proofofbrain was a recent example, about 6 months ago there were dozens of publications discussing governance, and it seemed that people wanted at that point in time to consume that kind of content. Not that another was unimportant, but that the community felt a need for that issue to be debated and a solution found as soon as possible, which made it a hot issue to debate at the time.
So it's always good for you to see which themes are bringing more discussion and how to combine that with your content.
Complements of good publications
Some users find it easier than others to create publications that bring deep debates, and that end up generating a multitude of comments agreeing or disagreeing with the topic exposed.
Often we can bring a multitude of arguments for topics covered that would not fit or would be too long for a comment, and this generates content to fuel the debate and bring a new publication to the community.
