Welcome to Steemit factsout! Below are quick tips to avoid making newbie mistakes and things you should remember to add value to this community:

1.Post quality content

Posting quality content is the most important things you can do to add value to your readers. It’s always easy to post motivation quotes on daily basis but that will certainly not help in long run. Instead of just posting a Quote pic, write your thoughts about it or share some unique experiences about the same. It’s simple; If you want your account to be valued by others add more value to your content. If your content doesn’t add value to their life than there is no way they will follow or up vote your post. Also when someone comment on your post, make sure you reply something valuable that make sense. Replying with -thanks, thanks for reading and all such things will not be of help all the time. When it comes to commenting the goal should be to engage and exchange of knowledge.

2.Make your title catchy and interesting

A good title for your blog is so important. It can mean the difference between tons of clicks or no clicks. People will able to see your post title in their feed and if it can’t grab their attention that you will Keep it short and focused. So be creative. Be intriguing. Again, interesting title will be of no use if the content is not read worthy.

3. Using the right tags

Selecting the most relevant tags is extremely important. Do your research for the tags that early adopters are using and figure out what are the best ones that fits best based on your content topic. Also, make sure to use all five possible tags that are specifically relevant to your post. Posting quality content under similar tags will establish your authority in the specific subjects and people who share similar interest are more likely to follow you.
If you are not able to find more than two relevant tags than the best way to fill in the quota is to add some less relevant general tags such as blog, life or else using one or two tags is also fine.

4.Posting Frequency

The best Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so you should try to post often.

5. Attach relevant photo

Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a link to your website or social media account.
