RE: My 1st Progressive Report On The Steemit Platform
Hello @the-gorilla, thank you very much, sir for taking the time to read my report. Thanks for the commendations in areas I have done well. Let me comment on my weakness, which I am eventually working on.
(1) In your introduction, you say that you:
love music and dance, I love traveling, I like cooking
My honest reply: I love the aforementioned, but I never knew I could be writing about these things, I never thought of that, I just love them. Though I have demonstrated my cooking skills in some diary games and cooking contests. Henceforth, I will try creating content about my hobbies.
(2) Aside from the Diary Games, have you considered just writing about the things you love without the constraints of a contest entry? I.e. something that just triggers your creative mind?
My honest reply; I have tried, though not as I should have, for example, I once wrote about patience, and peace in steem for betterlife community. I have also written about marriage, and domestic violence in steem for ladies.
This rhetorical question has helped me see that I need to be innovative in my writing, and think of something new and interesting to write about, thank you very much, henceforth, I will focus more on this.
(3) I believe this can be linked to your number of followers - I notice that this is currently 12, which includes beemengine and your introducer @goodybest. This perhaps signifies to me that whilst your individual posts are attracting comments, readers are missing something which makes them think "I'm going to follow her". What do you think this might be?
What I think: my posts lack innovation, which most of my readers have not read before. I have been thinking about this, and I believe I will come up with something, thank you for the question.
(4) And if I challenge you to get to 50 before your next report, what would you do to achieve this?
My humble reply: I will try and be innovative, and develop my hobbies as recommended, just do my best, and I believe followers will eventually come. I will see if I can win the challenge, but if I don't, will you continue to nurse me?
My only objective is to challenge your thinking and expectation of what you can do here. I read an excellent post today where somebody had freed themselves from the constraints of a contest and suddenly their writing took a new dimension. A higher level of authenticity. Freedom.
In my opinion, this freedom is only achievable outside the constraints of a contest where you choose what to write about. Where you’re not worried about answering a question or what the judge will rate it.
There is no right or wrong here. Many just churn out contest entries and they’re happy doing that. think those people are missing an emotional connection that freedom brings.
I also want to experience that freedom, sir @the-gorilla, as such I will apply the suggestions.
Hi @blessedbee it brings me joy to see your progress on the platform, I've known you to be a fast learner and I strongly believe that you will greatly improve over time. As the-gorilla suggested
Turn your hobbies into your niche, for example, you like dancing, music, traveling, and food. You can blog about the latest music and releases in Nigeria, some of our music artists and why you like them, and their songs or beatings, this is just a tip I know you can be creative! But overall it's a yes from me my amiable the-gorilla!
Thank you very much @goodybest, boss, for the commendation. I will surely apply the suggestions, I am praying for divine wisdom.
