The new social networks based on web 3.0 technology at the beginning when one is learning the basics to start in this world is overwhelming the amount of information we need to process just to take our first steps. The ecosystem is not complicated at all, but the amount of information we receive at the beginning is such that many times we end up at the point of collapse once we make that first presentation article, we do not even want to get closer to the blockchain world after the mental exhaustion that was to get that first writing ahead.

My advice is focused precisely on that, you have already finished and published that first writing that should have been your presentation, which I hope you have done with the help of a veteran member of the community. Now you must take your steps without help, having to solve those first topics hoping to do the best possible job with all the explanations that you have mixed up in your head. Don't worry, I'm going to give you some key tips so you can move forward in this fascinating world of social networks based on blockchain technology.

Choose a community

It is very common that at the beginning we do not spend enough time exploring to find a suitable community for our writing. It is very easy to choose to use one of the communities that is trending and just go with the flow, but it is very likely that there is a specialized community for the topic you are dealing with in your writing.

Consider that the more general the topic of a community is, the more people will be publishing all kinds of content and therefore we will have a greater saturation in the number of daily topics. This will make it more complex to obtain that initial visibility that never hurts when you start.

The power of tags

This is one of the points where most people make a lot of mistakes when they start and there are even members with relative experience that still make some mistakes in this section. The first five tags are the most important of your writing, they must be related to the content you are writing, where the first tag is the main and most important. I invite you to look at the tags in the topic created by rutablockchain for the initiative.

After those initial five tags is that you should place tags for communities or curation projects that have a tag assigned to their curation process. Keep in mind that many whales and curation projects do not use their name as a search method to vote for content. In fact, most curation projects have a team of curators who rely on moderators and community owners to make the selection.

Presentation of the document

Everything in the social networks enters us first by sight, by that first glance that we give quickly to a publication and that makes us decide whether we are going to open it or we are going to continue. That is why we must maximize the possibilities of our writing to a potential reader by presenting the best packaging we can. In the case of Hive, that packaging is the title, the cover photo and a brief description that very few people use, by the way.

In the case of the title, the first thing to do is to use only one language and indicate with some abbreviation that it has both languages inside, always looking for an eye-catching title but concise and to the point. Something similar applies to the description, where we will have to make a summary of only 120 characters highlighting the most important of all the writing and in the case of the photo we use for the cover, always try to use your own photos that are eye-catching, inviting you to want to open the publication for reading.

Layout of the document

Hive is undoubtedly one of the web 3.0 platforms that is experiencing the most growth in recent years. As a result, it is more common to see the arrival of experienced content creators who undoubtedly do a better job laying out their writing and thus achieving a more eye-catching presentation. Not to mention that many members of the community continue to improve day by day as this healthy competition becomes more present.

That is why I recommend that you never stop experimenting with the layout of your writings and always seek to learn how to improve, thus achieving that your writings have a greater visual appeal as you explore. As I said before, everything enters through the eye and we should always improve the possibilities by taking advantage of the tools we have at our disposal.

Seek help when in doubt

I know it is obvious but many times when we are new we forget that we can always ask for help, ask a question either by Discord or Telegram is something simple and you will always find people willing to give you a hand. It is better to ask to do things right than to end up making a mistake that could have been avoided just by asking, something that costs nothing to do.

Performs a final check

Make it a routine to do a final review before hitting the publish button, always verify that you have everything correct in your writing. Above all, pay special attention to have the title correct, the community selected, the description correct and the tags in the order you want. In fact, I recommend you to make this check several times, it is very common to make a mistake and end up publishing your writing without a community.

This concludes the advice I would give to a person who has already overcome that first presentation issue so that he/she can continue creating content, remembering once again that you can always rely on the community to solve doubts and in fact that would be my extra advice to close the writing. Remember that Hive is a social network where the ultimate goal is to socialize and that you end up being part of this community so that in the not too distant future you end up helping someone else to enter this wonderful ecosystem.
