I know that a lot of people are afraid to use tags that are not popular only because they believe that people will miss their posts. I understand that because I had the same feeling, until I decided to change that and see what will happen.
The point is that even if you use the most popular five tags and you didn't get paid that doesn't mean people missed your post, maybe people didn't like your post or your tags are irrelevant for your content.
Using for every post an original tag will help steemit to grow faster and better. Think about what will happen if all the users use the same five tags.( chaos )
How to create an original tag?
After you write your post, try to find 3 or 4 words that will describe your post. The main tag should include a word from the title so people will know instantly what you write about and if they like that stuff will read it. For example, for this post, I will choose the main tag to be #originaltag.
Using original tags it will give you a better visibility and people will appreciate that, plus like I said it will be very helpful for this community. I wish I could understand this earlier, but better now that never. So, if you are new or you don't know about this, you should start doing it today. Plus you can promote your posts and get more attention from the users on https://steemit.chat , facebook, twitter and many other social media.
