Yesterday around noun I reached my first hundred followers. It was a long process in my case and here are my seven lessons that I take:
- Set up your main audience
I realised from day one that I cannot address all subjects as I am not particular good on all of them. I thought about my area of expertise and write about that. I know about meditation, as I am practicing for more than 10 years and I did write about it. I would not write about market fluctuations, trading, mining, crypto tendencies as yet I don't know much about.
- Don't copy others
At one point one of my post was flagged. It took me only few seconds to assess that this is bad and I asked the person that flagged my post what's wrong and he thought that I took one of my pictures from him. I explained that I didn't and updated the post with the source. But I can guess is a good point. We should post original content otherwise the network will not gain value
- Use feelings to hook the audience
If you write information without being ingenious passioned about your readers will feel it. When I wrote posts just for the coins people didn't fall on this and I must say I am glad they didnt. I meditated what is missing and I learned to use it in my furthers articles. I improved and must thank you a lot for you help and feedback.
- Comment if you believe you can help
At the begining I use to comment just to attract users attention. Nothing interesting to say, I was just had my numbers in my view. Then I searched on which comments are the ones that get rewarded and changed my practice. I only comment if I really like or I am enthusiastic about some article or if I can offer genuine feedback. Words are energy as well so I choose not to waste them on nonsense. Also I never ask someone to follow me. I choose to inspire 😜
- Have fun along the way
I do believe that steemit platform is making a better world. Yesterday at the bitcoin meeting I was the only one in the position to defend it. I've heard people opinion based on thin year as they did not even tried. So as I say to them I will tell you. Don't do anything unless you care about it. The results you get are connected with two main things: involvement and easiness. The easiness way is the way of fun. Do see life in the Buddhist way nothing is so serious that you cannot make fun about. So I do post lot of my funs and laughs.
At the end I just want to thank everyone for help and inspiration and steem on 😍
