There are everyday things that whales do to succeed, and one of them is investing their resources and time in content. I recently studied some of the below crucial tips. Following are ten key ways via which you can post like a whale.
1. Consistency
Every single whale is consistent in posting every day or according to their post schedules. Consistent posting enables you to grow an audience with proofs of data showing whales have thousands of fans.
2. Standard Post Layout
Every post whales do have a standard layout. As a beginner, you tend to make a post, and every post looks different. Whales have standardized the way their posts look, so every blog does not have a new funky design every time.
3. Full Time on Steemit
This is an essential component of becoming a whale, as almost all of them if not all, work full-time on Steemit. They treat it like a daily job, spending hours upon hours to grow and create content. Since they generate income through their posts, this enables them to work full-time.
4. High-Quality Photos
All their posts have standard and high-quality photos. They post no pixilated photos or amateur shot pictures either, so you won’t find any finger blocking half the shot.
5. Use Custom Banner at the Bottom of Post
Creating custom banners for your posts is important, it shows professionalism and care. Nearly all whales have banners at the bottom to optimize their posts.
6. Original Content
All of their content is original, not copied from elsewhere. Everything is a fresh idea unless it was a news post, but those also had fresh ideas and a twist to it. New ideas keep the audience engaged and interested in future posts.
7. They Have Series
Since the whales have large audiences, they have created "episodes" and even seasons to those episode posts. Depending on the post it can say "Travel with me Episode: 39" this helps regular viewers to stay on track.
8. Quality ThumbNails
They usually did the thumbnails in Photoshop. It has a clear picture usually with a Steemit logo on it and their face. If the post topic were about something else, they would use royalty free pictures.
9. Proficient Writers
Apparently from posting every day for over a year they have become very well learned in writing. Their posts are grammar mistake and spelling error free. This ensures a standardized quality for every blog!
10. Active in the Steemit Community
Every single whale is active in the Steemit community; they are regularly looking for good upcoming writers to upvote. Some whales have a second account that offers a service to the community to grow the minnows into dolphins and even one day into a whale!
