TO ALL NEWBIES, ESPECIALLY AFRICANS- What happens when you burn out of ideas?

in #africa7 years ago (edited)


When well blog about the same thing relatively over and over again, what happens? We become so boring and curators will skip most of our posts, do you think the same set of curators will be willing to upvote every Africans- Nigerians, South Africans with almost the same contents or they gonna just skip any unknown user (newbies) and move on to the more established ones.

Diversity is the key to any successful blogger. If you could write on the same thing consistently like @sweetsssj for months at stretch, then you are a genius and this does not concern you.

What happened to all the techy posts, adventures, news, music, arts, fantasy etc and all topics that comes with everyday activities? All this are perfect source of ideas for over a thousand people to choose from, why can't we apply a twist and not all do the same thing?

It is a fact to have something you like doing and improvise on it, that is the survival game on steemit. Not everybody can be a programmer or Devs guys, so in other not to get stuck in the race why don't we improvise?

Improvise your Blogging Game

Originality is great, it gives you all the respect you deserve, but are we really getting the original juice from your works and blogs?

Sadly, many rookies just want to jump onto the Steemit Limelight and get known, then they do all sorts of disgraceful stuffs from copy pasting to re-blogging others work Into-to. Some even go as far as been rude and offensive to people in channels and comments to get a Whale notice yeah?

Hell no! Getting noticed takes a lot of juice and hardwork, not popping up in chats rooms/channels and be causing Nuisance.

Now that "The Flagging Phenomenon" is now solid and super active maybe some people will learn their lessons the hard way when they wake up and Moonwalk from Rep 43 to -5!.

Do you know that when about a hundred people write relatively on the same thing, you are giving curators headache and a hell of a time and that is why most of the post you see has a lot of text but zero or tiny votes.

Bur no one needs to tell anybody what they could blog on yeah? Once the ideas do not come by default.

SUGGESTIONS

Can each newbie have a theme for each day of the week on what to blog about and toggle in between? This are just suggestions and it does not guarantee you that mega payout everyone craves for.

For everyday of the week, could you do something more differently that will attracts new sets of fans/followers e.g

  • technology post

  • adventure post

  • travel post

  • comedy/story

  • debate/argumentative post

  • fantasy etc.

Randomness keeps your fans in suspense at times and keeps you refreshed, you get to have new ideas in stock for another day.

I'm just a tiny minnow trying to help out:

With my little experience here on Steemit; you never know what gets the attention of the whales you are desperate to impress, so can we all try diversity for a week or two? If it doesn't work for you, then go back to doing the same thing.

This are my tiny thoughts and suggestions for you if you feel you are running out of Steemit Juice!

great post and idea @oluwoleolaide, actually diversity is fun and interesting.
