"Dear Dawne - Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure"

Season 1 - Episode 7

We Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" To Help You Directly!

(Also Newbie Nickels Added Again This Week!)

General Topic: Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure

Let's talk about visibility, exposure, gaining a following, making connections... or whatever other phrase you think about.

In the last few weeks I have reviewed MANY pages by newbies and members of the #newbieresteemday initiative.

This post by Hive account@terminallyill, is a tutorial on how to use the esteem app and was live two days ago and while it has some great images with a step-by-step process and is a great quality post, it only has 12 Upvotes and 31 views. Hive account@terminallyill used perfect tags for this post but his visibility wasn't noticed.

But why? His reputation is 44. He has 361 followers and he interacts with with other members. He replies to comments. He goes around steemit commenting and Upvoting. So what's the problem? Why are most of his posts earning so little (with the exception of a few)- most are earning under $1 when payout time comes around. Hmmmm....

My first question would be... what Discord groups do you belong to? Any curation groups? If not... JOIN them. RUN! This is the easiest way to get more visibility. Post promote your links, make sure you follow the group's rules when post promoting too.

Hive account@bashadow is offering some great incentives on his page. He's offering to help a new steemian in this post. Granted this post is about 24 hours old and he's had about eight comments, 15 Upvotes and 51 views on the post, but why is it only earning $1.74. Hive account@bashadow is giving of himself in this post. So why isn't he getting more comments or people accepting his help?

Hmmm... what could be the problem? He has a reputation of 55, so he's not too new to the platform. He has almost 700 followers. He's using his time on steemit so wisely. He's had good payouts in the past.

We all have posts that don't pay out a lot and that's ok. If you read in the comments, he did offer help to one steemian reaching out to him. This was the eighth post of this topic and Hive account@bashadow is continuing to do the newbieresteem weekly posts. Why? Because he is being consistent. He knows new steemians will find his page and his posts; with the end result being he will help someone this week, then maybe two or three next, perhaps five the following week. He is building his following, making his brand with this post title and people will be seeking him out. He is making it happen and one day it will all pay off for him.

Being consistent, being visible, promoting your work and making sure you are answering your comments are just a few ways you need to be there for your following; and for building a following.

Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)

Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.

First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.

How To Get Your Newbie Nickel TODAY ONLY On This Post
