RE: What Future for Jurgen Klopp?
Enjoyed it :)
Btw any tips on getting upvotes from steemcurators. Like what and how can we write / improve get to get better so that we could also get their attention / chance to get one of those upvotes ?
Thank you 🙂
Upvotes is both an easy and a tough question to answer - My only advice is to stop focusing on getting upvotes!
Upvotes are a by-product of writing, commenting and sharing opinions about a topic you're passionate about within a community that shares your passion.
Most articles I write take a considerable amount of my time (hours, not minutes) and are all on something I'm interested in which means that I enjoy thinking and writing about them. My hope upon pressing the "Post" button is that it sparks thought and conversation which doesn't always happen. My favourite recent post (despite being shared elsewhere) was a heartfelt story of another's experiences.
So find what you love, find a community that loves it too, forget about upvotes and enjoy engaging with that community would be my advice.
Thanks a lot . 😊 but I also invest an hour or long for the post. When I am free from my daily work, I post topics that comes to my mind or the games that I managed to watch. I asked if I could work on the article writing style or smthn other.
@sumanthp - That's an even harder question to answer!
Everybody has their own writing style based upon their own personality. I've always felt the most important thing is to be authentic.
I feel that for me to advise you would be misplaced as I'm certainly not an expert and have been a member for such a short period of time that I still don't understand how it all works!
What I have noticed, in my short time, is that if an article is popular on Monday, Tuesday will see a dozen articles following the original articles theme, often without success. Whereas taking the time to see something new and original would have been a better use of time and effort.
As I mentioned before, you've got to enjoy it and I'd say that the point at which you stop enjoying it, take a step back and decide if that's how you want to spend your time.
Thanks for the reply 😊
@sumanthp - after more thought on the subject, I have a question for you... If you had to choose between your post receiving:
a) 1 upvote from steemcurator worth $20 and 0 comments
b) 100 upvotes from the community worth $0.45 and 50 comments
Which would you choose?
TBH, I love the balance of both. Effort that we are talking about is posts taking an hour or more. Sometimes, It would feel good to be rewarded. Nevertheless, booming accounts are there to support us too which is great. As I have already stated some concerns in my blog Here. You can read that blog that sums up my confusion. Other than that, I don't have a problem. 😊Thank you and keep up the good work !
