What is the best posting frequency on Steemit?
This question I will handle in this Post.
When we get to know this platform all of us are still learning about it. It doesn't matter if you are a minnow, dolphin or whale. This platform brings in irregular intervals new features, and often these new features are bringing something new to learn about it to get the most out of this platform. This counts for all of us.
One of those questions to get the most out of Steemit is for example: What is the most beneficial posting frequency?
Let me tell you right up front: There is no one best rule!
It depends on different factors like mostly our circumstances in our private lives. We have all different starting points, and we need to be aware of that. It would be misleading to compare yourself to someone who is quite longer than you on this platform or even a full-time steemian.
But what we can do for now is to ignore all these different circumstances and trying to answer this question from a neutral perspective.
Also, there is a difference if someone has experience in blogging before or not. Some people get the first time in touch with blogging through this platform. But the question is what would be the best posting frequency to get the most out of Steemit right?
This question includes effort you have to do. We all have! Surely in a way that you can make it, but you have to put an effort in it. From this point, I want to try to answer this questions.
I would definitely recommend making a sprint first, not a marathon. This would mean trying to post in a short time many contributions.
If you are not familiar with blogging, I would say trying to post every second or third day. Better every second.
Why should you start with a sprint?
To get more exposure, people start getting to know you. If they see you constantly posting even, if your rewards may not be like in your imagination, your name is getting out in this community. And this is the first important step.
After you have made your sprint, you need to change your strategy to a marathon, because Steemit is a marathon. So every athlete has his own strategy for a marathon, but one is for sure. They try to keep their speed equal to the distance they have to run.
One important goal running a marathon is to reach the end. No one is interested if you reached the highest speed of all competitors but on the half you are finished.
I assume now that people who are already longer here got more familiar with blogging. I know that there are people who comment more as they write posts but the focus right now is on posting frequency. I don't consider those people right now. Also not the posting quality, but this is also for another contribution.
So what is exactly the best posting frequency for those people?
In my opinion, with the goal to get the most out of this community, this includes more exposure within the community, more connection with others, and more financial rewards.
And knowing that Steemit is a marathon, you need a long breath.
I would say the best post frequency would be once a day. At least every second day.
I honestly believe that the more consistent you are, the better the total output. See yourself as an apple? tree.
It takes time to grow and bear fruits. But between this time the seed need the required conditions to get to the point where it actually bears fruits. Without these circumstances, it will never get to the blessed point. Means no fruits, or in our place, never the rewards you expect.
First, the seed needs to experience cold temperatures. This is like building a fundament to grow. Let us say that these cold temperatures are your thoughts if you can make it. You are questioning yourself, you are not sure if you have the skills to become one day a whale for example. Or to make a living out of Steemit.
This winter could also be other people attacking you, what we already saw here in this community.But the seed needs? to pass through this coldness. There are few things more for an apple seed to make sure it could grow to a big apple tree, but let's make a jump now.
These three things the growing seed need consistently.
Without them, it cant grow to bear fruits. When the tree is small, it needs help to grow, but if it reached one day, a certain height nature would make the rest, in our case Steemit dynamics are taking control.
You see, more comments, more upvotes, higher financial rewards, what motivates you to go forward and you are growing and growing until the fruits are coming.
To get there, it needs consistent conditions. Posting frequency is one of them. But as I said you cant generalize it or make a doctrine about it, also it's not guaranteed that you will bear fruits. But if you don't do the required first steps you destroy your chance at the very beginning.
To grow takes time never forget that.
I believe once a day at least every second day is a beneficial frequency for this steemit marathon if you want to get the most out of it. Yes, you can do more of course, but watch yourself not to burn out. I am doing this not myself. Now in the holidays I have the capacity and try to post every day, but when during the preparation for the next half of the season it will be difficult, but that's totally fine for me. You have also to be ok with your decision.
What I shared with you I am not doing myself but nevertheless, I am convinced that this could be a beneficial way to grow during this Steemit marathon.
By the way, you know what the best thing is when the apple tree is fully grown and is bearing fruits?
Other are enjoying the fruits YOU produced.
