I spent 2 - 4 hour in steemit almost 3 days a week
1100 SP 58 reputation 260 blog 82 follower
what i learned ( tips )
It is not that much but i will share it honestly maybe it help specially newbie , maybe i am wrong about some tips , i will leave it all to the discussion
What to do , this what i found helpful
1 - steemit is not always about your blog you should make it 50% - 50% if you spend 1 hour a day to make a blog spend another hour to comment in other blogs , first that will make you learn to make a better blog in the future , second you will make at least a new friend and that is crucial .
2 - good blog need a good title
give your blog a title that summarize the content but don't reveal it .
3 - it is always good strategy to bring reader from outside ( steemit chat , facebook , tweeter ,,, )
4 - the first 30 min is the most vital so try to spread your blog around before it hit 30 min
from my little experience most of your reward from that window .
5 - smart upvote : always try to read or at least scan the blog fast before you upvote it , the best time to upvote is form 25 - 29 min , some time you will take a full upvote 100% and other time your vote will be just supportive according to content .
6 - I use all my rewards to power up .
7 - chose the first tag carefully and make them only 4 tags , 5 tags make most of them not showing up .
Do not do this please
this list is either something i did and it harm me\other or something i know that its not a good idea
1 - do not never ever buy upvote , first that make you look very bad , steemit is not a one day market it is a community and people know eatch other
2 - better to not ask other to upvote or follow you , if you like a blog you can upvote it and say why you like it , if you follow someone you inform him and describe why you follow him , that is more legit to me
3 - do not edit a blog except for a typo or a grammer mistakes
i did that a lot , English is not my native language after all :)
4 - do not flag any one anywhere for any reason , that will make you an enemy
if i dislike something i will comment and say why .
5 - do not give up , be patient & persistent and thing will get better soon
