Lately I haven't had much time to do everything I had pending, although in the free time I had left I preferred to spend it fulfilling some tasks focused on the growth of my accounts. It was a tough week because I had some partial exams, which luckily went well for me, which lifts a weight off my shoulders and now I can pay a little more attention to my goals (although I still have one more week of study).

We are talking about the growth of my account on X, or as we all call it "Twitter," maybe out of affection or simply because we have gotten used to it. I have noticed that interaction is the fundamental part of the platform. But, how could I achieve those high desired impression rates? Remember that to request monetization there you need 5 million impressions, which is really crazy when compared to InLeo where you can start receiving rewards without such exaggerated requirements.
Although this is not our goal (at least mine is not at the moment, because I don't know how to maintain that amount of impressions over time, as I consider it a great commitment usually achieved by influencers and I am very far from being one), when the opportunity arises to approach that or we see that we are succeeding, we will probably reconsider. The important thing is that our growth will be in favor of the growth and adoption of Hive and therefore InLeo, and that should be the main objective.
trying to understand how X and its algorithm work. It hasn't gone too bad considering that I acquired the blue membership last month and I have noticed some benefits from having said membership.
To be honest something that I'm struggling with is getting new followers. I still haven't figured out "the trick" to it, or maybe it's that I'm not achieving a much more personal interaction that makes the other person want to follow me for my ideas or thoughts, as well as for my personality.
This is something I will try to work on from now on, and one of the ways that could help is to create content from time to time about interesting things, because if they liked what I shared, they will approve it in some way and among them will be following me. I believe that now that I can make time for it, I will have more freedom to do so.
One of the strategies that has worked for me was finding trends with over 1M views. That is to say, the number of views of a post/thread is proportional to the impressions of a comment. I reinforce the idea that if I comment on a post with 5M views, I may get a very high amount of impressions than if I do it on a post with 10K views.
That's why from time to time I try to create comments that add value or at least are interesting about the trend that is happening (at that precise moment), while also helping me to show a position of a person who can get a little outside of what blockchain, web3, and cryptocurrencies are. It seems to have worked, although the idea is that this happens in the field I specialize in and work in, so at some point I will have to consider the idea of changing the focus.
This week, despite the difficulties in the time I can manage, has been very good. I think I could improve those metrics and attract the necessary attention for people to visit my profile, although this would, of course, also help them become interested in the content I write and decide to consume it. I would like it even more if in the process I can make a friend with whom I can share opinions, why not?
In conclusion, I could say that there is still much to learn about how the algorithms of X work. I have noticed that if the interaction is good, your comment will rise to the top positions to be seen by more people, and obviously and as a result, it will have more impressions. In threads when sharing content, it is recommended to use hashtags, but if we make long posts, it is better not to include them, or at least that's the idea I have about how they work, which changes every day more.
We will see how it goes for me. Everyone will have their strategy, although we all agree on one thing. Achieving exponential growth in each of the areas we seek to fulfill.
