It's more than 4 months for me on steemit. from the first moment, I loved the business idea and I have promoted this platform in all social medias I'm active in. I have more than 11.000 followers on LinkedIn and Twitter, and I haven't hesitate to share my experience on steemit with them.
in the first weeks I read a lot about successful models and strategies for being on this platform. I changed a lot today and I have figured out my own strategy today. I like to share it with you, my steemian friends to have your say, comments and advice, to improve it. and if this helps someone else, that would be my pleasure.
1. Posting
I do posting almost everyday and maximum twice a day.
I post on few but different categories: mostly on Crypto analysis and life. I have been trading stocks for two decades but I don't see this place suitable for stock talks, so I put my TA experience in to cryptos and write about it. I do crypto trade on a portion of my asset, not majority of it.
2. Commenting
I believe steemit is mostly about engagement So I enjoy every opportunity to comment on valuable posts and blogs.
I do not comment with "good post", "great article, I liked it" etc! it's rude!! if I like a post and I don't want to comment a meaningful thing, I will only upvote it!
If I write a comment, it will contain something really worth to say and probably requesting more from the author to say. this mean engagement.
in the beginning when I was posting a blog, I was commenting on others' blog asking them to visit it. I WON'T DO that again! comments are not for spamming and advertising your content. I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN!
3. upvoting
I do upvote all my posts. and I upvote 2-3 posts everyday to curate the system + having curation rewards.
it is important to save your Voting Power on high levels when you post your own blog. so I don't upvote many posts from others everyday. 2-3 or maybe some days 5.
4. following
I do not follow everyone who follows me.
I follow people who:
- engage with me! who upvote or comment on my posts
- write meaningful and genuine content
when I push the follow button, I do not look at the reputation! I explore his/her blog and comments pages.
5. flag wars
I do not engage in flag wars! I stay aside of those stupid things.
6. tags
This is very important! I consider it as a spamming tool if someone does not use it right. what I do if I have left some tags to make it 5 in a post, I go to Tags page and sort it in "Payouts" and look for exactly relevant tags to my writing.
I wish you success and happiness :)
I appreciate your time, comments, advice and help; together, we can grow.
