When I started on Steemit I had to go through many guides that explained how Steemit works. But none of them has taught me as much as #dolphinschool did.
So let me explain #dolphinschool by what it has taught me:
1. MAKE CONTACT
When you're new on Steemit, it can be hard to catch the attention of bigger fishes.
Selecting a profile of your ideal follower is the first step. Think about what you want from a follower, find that characteristics in one or more Steemit users and make contact!
Don't be afraid of rejection! If your content is good, they'll probably be interested in supporting you!
2. STAND OUT
- Make sure you have a great title and picture in your post before sharing it. Attract a lot of viewers to increase the possibility of getting upvotes, comments, and resteem!
But that might not be enough.
Once they're in your post, they'll need a reason to read it till the end, so:
Promise to reveal something very important, but don't release that info until the end of the post! Like the tip for getting Steemit customized notifications. (We'll get there soon!)
Add a little humor. Even if your content is very serious, a little joke to release the tension is always going to be appreciated by your readers. If humor is your strongest quality, take it all the way! Write a personal story that was funny, take this as an example.
But make sure your story isn't offensive to anyone!Add pictures or gifs that fit your content. It makes it easier to read and complements the text. Don't ever forget to add the source. You can also use free images, here's a guide by
with the best places to find them.
If your content is mainly images, consider using quick posts on busy.org or Steepshot. Here's an example of what you can do with this tools.
3. ENGAGE
Engaging your readers takes more than a secret revealed at the end of the post.
Sometimes you need to offer them something else. It can be SBD, upvotes, resteems, or anything you won't regret giving!
Participate in challenges like this and take notes from how they work.
Don't forget to always offer something you have!
4. PROMOTE YOUR WORK (NO SPAM)
Feel free to share your content when it's coherent:
Join Discord groups where you can promote your posts for free! But always respect each group's rules.
Comment your posts in someone else's if it's relevant to your comment or to the content of the post.
Include your older posts inside a new one with a hyperlink!
5. ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE
