Hello Steemians !
Advice for new Steemit users
It’s been more or less two months that I am on Steemit and I wanted to share it with you. This post is quite special since it has nothing to do with all my other posts. It’s pretty much a summary of all that I learned from my two months on Steemit and I’ll explain it as pieces of advice. Some of them are really basic but I still think it’s important to talk about it and other are really specific to what I do on Steemit.
Use the appropriate tags
One of the first mistake I made was the misuse of the tags, I didn’t understand it quite well at the beginning. I mainly use for my beer posts tags like : life, story,... Because I saw those tags in the list and they were at the top of the payout.
However that’s a mistake, you should use the appropriate tags. To stay in the same example, I now use tags like beer, beeroftheday, food, … That kind of tags is way better and get you a better exposition on Steemit.
Reply to the comment
It’s really an big point for me, I nearly always reply to the comments I get. It’s something great because you show that you care about your followers and it’s pleasant for them. Also it will encourage some other people to comment too and it’s a great motivation to have people behind you. They also can teach you stuff, for example, one of my followers advises me a beer, another explains to me that there is some stout (it’s a special kind of beer) with liquor adding, ...
Post regularly
It doesn’t matter if it’s daily, weekly, the most important thing is the regularity. I personally think that you should post at least 2 or 3 times a week to maintain your followers entertained. For my own blog, I post every day and I can advise you to do the same but you have to be well prepared. Indeed, if you’re working or if you’re a student like me it can be hard to find time to do that every day.
Make post beforehand
This is especially true if you don’t have a lot of time. Preparing two or three posts in a row is a great thing because if you post every day for example, you only work once in three days. By doing that, you’ll feel less pressure and you won’t need to think about Steemit every day, even if you’ll probably do it anyway.
It’s also a good thing if you’re about to go on vacation. When I was in London, I had prepared 4 posts beforehand in order to fully enjoy my trip.
Make good looking post
What I mean is even if Steemit isn't as complete as Word for example, you can still use it right and make an awesome looking post ! It is rude at first when you have to use it but the more you do, the better you'll become. I think I'm not really good for that but I try to improve myself, if you pay attention, you maybe have noticed that the links I give are now integrated into the text. This is all because of the Markdown Styling Guide
That's it ! I hope you liked this and see you tomorrow for more awesome posts !
