Hi everyone! With you here is Ebass, and today, I'd love to discuss little tips that can be helpful for newbies. Lately, I've been thinking of ways I could be of help to hivians who are still finding their way around the hive system.
As a person who has been around for a little while, I'd love to share some things that can be of help to new users on the Hive blockchain. I've noticed that many newbies struggle to gain visibility on the platform the moment they are onboarded.
Which is a good thing if you ask me. Because I did the same when I was newly onboarded to Hive. But the hive secret no one tells you the moment you're in is that quality engagement beats quality posting for newbies.
Things don't just happen here on the Hive blockchain; you literally have to work towards every single thing you want for yourself. Pour your hearts into creating high-quality content, but know fully well that it doesn't stop there.
Engaging with others on the platform plays a big role on the platform. By that way, you're showing people on the blockchain that you value their content and are willing to take the time to interact with them.
Understanding Quality Engagement.
Quality engagement is more than just commenting on posts. It's about building relationships, providing value, and creating a community around your content. When you engage with others on Hive, you're not only increasing your visibility but also building trust and validity with your audience.
That's one thing new users should learn to do more. That's why you find a lot of people complaining about not gaining visibility. That's because many of them are diverting more of their attention into just creating high-quality content without knowing that engagement plays a very big role in their journey on the Hive blockchain.
You see them complain about posting high-quality content, and in most cases, it oftentimes goes unnoticed. That's mainly because they didn't balance things out. They diverted all their energy into just creating high-quality content and skipped the most important factor, which is engagement. That's where the importance of visibility comes up.
The Importance of Visibility
Visibility is important on any social media platform. It's what sets successful creators apart from those who struggle to gain traction. On Hive, visibility is not just about creating high-quality content; it's also about engaging with others and building a community.
Personal, before I came to the Hive blockchain, I wasn't really a fan of engaging with people; I really did love minding my business so much that you wouldn't even notice me. But getting here, I had to abide by the procedure here and also adapt to the system to attain visibility on the Hive blockchain.
WHY QUALITY ENGAGEMENT MATTERS MORE FOR HIVE SUCCESS.
I used to compare my content to other people's own initially. I even get pissed off sometimes for creating good content and not getting recognition from fellow users on the blockchain. But little did I know that engaging with others had a chance of giving me visibility.
The truth is, you really cannot compare what you get to what a person that has built relationships and a reputation with others for years gets. It's more like every other social media platform. If my friends post on his page, I really do not need to go through it before I like the post.
The same thing goes on here. Building relationships with people has a way of pushing you forward and making you more visible and recognized. That's one of the reasons why you need to engage with people, support their content, and, most importantly, make friends with them.
Not because you have to do it, but because it's the right thing to do. It really has a way of warranting you some good engagement and reciprocation from them. When you keep engaging and supporting them, it has a way of making them want to do the same for you when you drop your contents.
That also applies to all social media accounts. When you create a social media account, whether it's on Hive, Instagram, or YouTube. Your major goal as a person, depending on what you opened it for, is to get your content seen by as many people as possible. Engagement is really essential on every platform.
Creating high-quality content alone wouldn't be enough. You need to make sure that your content is visible to the right audience. By engaging with others on the platform, you're not only building relationships but also increasing your visibility and creating a sense of connection.
Tips for Building Quality Engagement.
How can you build quality engagement on Hive? Here are some tips:
• Know the kind of audience you want for yourself: Understand who your target audience is and what type of content they engage with. Don't just mix with people for mixing's sake; have a target.
Because for a person like me now that doesn't play games. You really do not expect me to connect more with gamers or people that talk about sports. I won't be able to engage well with their content because I really do not have an idea of what they do.
That's the more reason why it's very essential to know the kind of people you want to roll with. Have a target, go for it, and spread the good vibe all over the blockchain.
• Using the right tags: This is another important factor that any new user should take notice of more. Using relevant tags can help increase your visibility and attract the right audience to your content.
Don't be like me when I joined the Hive blockchain. I used to go through top bloggers posts and copy the tags they used, which isn't the right thing to do. As a newbie, I had no idea that it was a wrong thing to do.
I always thought about it all in my head that it had a way of attracting good upvotes from top curators and never knew it could even get my post downvoted for attracting the wrong people to my post.
• Engaging with others: This is another important factor that helps you connect with people from all over the globe and also build relationships with them. This part is one of the most exciting things I love about the blockchain.
Imagine gaining visibility with someone from another country or state you've not even been to. For me, I consider it a plus in the sense that, whenever I come around to a place where I have a connection with someone, I always try everything possible to meet up with them and have a good time.
We could just explore the whole axis, have fun, and get to know each other more and more. Which sounds so cool to me if you ask me. And it doesn't just end there; you also get to engage on each other's posts and also build a bond.
At least I know of some of my friends who got to meet their soulmate through this amazing platform, Hive. It's a good thing to behold. It just has a way of helping you build relationships and increase your visibility on the platform.
• Engaging in community activities: It's very essential to join communities related to your niche and participate in activities such as contests and discussions. We've got a lot of amazing communities. You're definitely going to come across one you love so much if you cross-check.
Are you writing or participating in what is trending in that community? One of the things I have got to understand better is that the more you engage with trending things in a community, the higher chance you actually get for people to notice your post as well.
And the fun part about it all is that you also get to earn tokens and cash prizes just for participating in them. Isn't that just so beautiful? We've got communities like the #Vibes Community, #Hive Open Mic Community, #Holozing Community, #Hivelearners Community, #Leofinance Community, etc.
There are a lot of communities on the Hive blockchain. Take the time to engage them all, find the ones that you flow better with, and engage more with them. Not because of the rewards, but also because of the love and passion you've got for the community.
Trust me when I say you're definitely going to be noticed someday if you keep giving out your best, producing as much high-quality content as possible, engaging with users consistently, and also building relationships with the right set of people.
Achieving success on Hive requires more than just creating high-quality content. It requires building quality engagement with others on the platform and building relationships.
Rome was never built in a day, and that's the more reason why you've got to put in the work. I believe strongly that you can achieve whatever thing you want on the blockchain by following this outlined step. You can increase your visibility, build relationships, and also achieve success on Hive.
Thank you for taking the time to go through my content. I really do hope it's helpful to newbies and other Hive users who are still finding their way around the system and are yet to understand the system yet.
The truth is, none of us understood it from the start. Don't be too shy to ask questions about things that you're yet to understand. Always endeavor to meet people who have a better understanding of how things work here and ask questions.
It really has a way of saving you dearly from taking the wrong moves. I'll also try everything possible to always bring up experienced bloggers to shine more light on how the system works here on Hive.
All for the betterment of the Hive blockchain as a whole. Thank you once more for stopping by, and have a great weekend ahead. Peace and love! 🕊️❤️.
