Boosting Engagement
I have been talking about the importance of engagement many times and I have been vocal about optimized content, organic traffic and how that can- and will benefit us greatly in the long haul.
I have ranked articles on top of google which I have published from the LeoFinance.io interface in an attempt to bring in traffic to both Hive and LeoFinance. These things have been done with the best intentions in mind and because I am a very passionate Hiver.
Earlier today, I published an on-going contest I will run in an attempt to bring more engagement towards my own articles with the long haul goal of pushing engagement elsewhere with time. I do this for various reasons, but the biggest reason is that engagement is amazing and vital for content creators.
Look at any content creator you can think of. A famous YouTuber or whatever. None of them would be able to start from scratch, pushing towards new heights without engagement. We love "likes" (upvotes) and "shares" (reblogs), but engagement is the reward that will encourage a content creator to continue to create and share content with the world, as long as they are not only in it for the $.
Content creators needs content consumers and people engaging with the content. Content creators needs comments as that leads to feedback, discussions, tips, future partnerships and ideas. That leads to motivation and encouragement, which are extremely important ingredients for the success of any content creator out there.
That is why I will give away LEO to random users who have made comments on any of my articles. You can read more about it here: Let's Talk & Win! - Boosting Engagement With Random Winners.
This AMA is an easy way for you to contribute and boost the overall engagement, but it's also the perfect opportunity for anyone to participate in the on-going contest.
I would love to see AMA's from a bunch of people, but I will ask @taskmaster4450, @onealfa, @edicted and @mindtrap to publish their own AMA's. I bet there are a lot of people out there eager to ask you guys a bunch of different questions.
