I know to a lot of people that have high reputation ranking might find this not really useful but am making out time to make this post for people with low reputation. I want to use the small have learnt to empower them. So, for our new steemit users. You might ask; what is REPUTATION and how does it come in to Steemit community.
REPUTATION: is a ranking number that is found at the right side of your Steemit username. Its get higher each time the following 15steps are taken....
1- MAKING POSTS WITH HIGH QUALITY CONTENTS;
Building a high reputation is like building trust with your readers, you don't get it for free, you've to earn it. So by only posting articles that are high quality you will build a trust between you and your up-voters who will up-vote your next article too.
2- MAKE SURE TO PUBLISH 2 - 3 POSTS EVERYDAY;
quality nowadays is important just like quantity, so invests time in making more posts a day. When I say posts I don't mean you should make posts with no meaning. Try making educative, interesting and motivational posts.
3 - POSTS COMMENTS FREQUENTLY;
You should aim for comments that add value, otherwise, there is no need to post them. Comments are actually an under-appreciated way of increasing your reputation. By creating comments on popular posts, you are increasing your chance of people following you if they see value in your comments.
4 - REPLY TO USERS COMMENTS ON YOUR POSTS;
This will create a connection between you and your readers, which will increase the chance of them following you.
5 - BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT ABOUT APPLYING THE ABOVE RULES;
If your posts are consistent, people will look for your posts everyday to read and up-vote them.
6 - TAKE TIME WHEN CHOOSING YOUR POSTS TITLED;
Avoid all kind of misleading and click-bait titles, readers can flag your posts and they will do so if you don't respect them. Getting flagged will destroy your reputation, and it will be harder for you to recover from it.
7 - POST ARTICLE AT THE BEST TIME POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE;
Quality content is important, but if you post them when no one is surfing the website, then your post won't get the attention it deserve. So always make sure to post it when you know people will be much and available on their websites. Also if you are still a small player, avoid peak time to reduce your competition with other posts.
8 - MAKE YOUR POST LAYOUT ATTRACTIVE;
I see a lot of people post great articles with great ideas, but they fail miserably when it comes to their post layout. Your posts should be clean and professional, return to a new line and create a new paragraph when it's needed, use commas where needed.
9 - SEARCH OR CREATE RELEVANT PICTURES THAT FITS YOUR POSTS;
Pictures as the saying goes are worth a thousand words, They will make your post more readable thus more probable to be up-voted.
10 - LEARN TO BE PATIENTS;
Don't get frustrated because your posts didn't get the up-votes they deserve. Users don't know who you are yet, so don't expect from them to invest their time or their Steem power on some random user. This shouldn't come as a shock to you, as I said earlier, at this stage, you shouldn't care about how much money you are making but rather focus on increasing your reputation score.
11 - BE COMPETITIVE;
After all, we're all competing for the whales votes. Always try to come up with new post ideas that other users didn't write about yet.
12 - TAKE CARE OF MINNOW TOO;
I understand that minnows don't have as much voting power as whales do, but collectively they will lead big whales to your post, specially bot whales.
13 - UPDATE YOUR POSTS REGULARLY WITH NEW AND RELEVANT INFORMATION;
Every second you let your posts without updated information is a wasted second.
14- TREAT YOUR FOLLOWERS WELL;
You should respect your followers intelligent and spare them from any bad posts.
15- ALWAYS WRITE YOUR NEW POST DOWN BEFORE YOU FORGET;
Whenever you think of a new post idea, create a new text file and type it down before you forget about it, so whenever you find something interesting that is relevant to your post idea, type it on that text file. This will come handy when you actually start working on that post.
CONCLUSION; Finally,
learn from other successful users.
You should take advantage of Steemit transparency when it comes to users activity and try to find out the reason behind it. Don't forget to track your ranking.
I HOPE THIS WAS USEFUL?
