RE: My favorite publications from 2021 that were not lucky enough to become popular
Great entry you have got there. Your reasons are clear and understandable, for example the use of wrong hashtag is something that worries most newcomers. And that is why it is advisable to complete the achievement tasks in newcomers community to know how to use them.
If I am right, the contest was specific on the number of posts to nominate! Why go beyond that of If I may ask ?
Anyway, I wish you all the best in the contest.
I just used it as the pretext to write a good post and increase the activity in your community. I don't mind if others will win the rewards - I'm satisfied with comments and upvotes.
True. Newcomers community should be the priority for every new user. But if I remember correctly (I did my achievements 9 months ago, so I may be wrong), there is nothing about the tags in them. That's why I've made in my community some extended tutorial for the newcomers.
Likewise me I am not too much concern about who win what. But I was curious to know whether that was the recommendations.
However, I think people will love to read post that are shot than post that are lengthy. If not because I know you write quality content, I would have pass without reading this very important post but I enjoyed reading your entries so I did.
How about those who do not know that? They will go without taking a look and they would have missed these important key points you have given.
I think it is known part.
90% of my posts are very long. If someone is scared by the length of the text or gets tired after the 20th sentence, it's clearly not my target.
All linked posts from the past are long, so it wouldn't be read by that kind of person anyway.
I'm writing for fun and to educate, not to satisfy everyone. Otherwise I'd have to make 250-300 words and focus on the pictures that simpler people are watching instead of reading anything besides the title :)
So, summarizing - The priority is the quality of the post, but also quality, not quantity of the readers.
🤠👍🏽
Yes it is true that most of your post are lengthy probably depending on what you are writing.
How then will educate people if they do not read your post? I totally disagree with you on writing to satisfy. Because I believe that before someone will read your post then the person has to be satisfy with your heading or something about the post.
I agree with you about the quality of content because that should should be our major aim. But I am just confuse if the quality of post is determined by how lengthy it is?
Okay, you've got me here. It's not "1 to 1" situation - sometimes shorter publications have higher quality than the long posts. Often though, to include all the information, you need to write long article. Imagine describing any topic for the person who does not know much about it. With short encyclopedia style sentence, you will do it correctly and give the general information, but with cultural or historical background, examples, longer explanation, maybe description of the alternatives, shared information is much more educative. Also - much, much longer.
I didn't say that I'm not willing to satisfy with my publications anyone, I said I don't point in satisfying everyone. First of all, it's simply impossible, second of all, to give the information about some theme, someone needs to first want to learn it. Then sure, all that things which you are writing about, like the graphics, visual value, good language are important. For example - I'm writing Permaculture Lessons on Steem Skillshare. It's my passion so most of the lessons are on a bit more advanced level and if someone never worked on a farm, it may not be clear for them what I'm writing about. Yes, I'm taking care of visual value and photos but those CC photos are in fact not important compared to the text and text... Simply can't be short. I could simplify the language, make it shorter and add more flower pictures or cows and some people would give me the upvote just for that, but those who really are looking for the information about the crops would be disappointed then because what they are looking for is the professional knowledge.
At the end of the day, it's all about finding the target and writing for them + for fun, for ourselves. Writing for everyone or even trying to educate absolutely everyone is not possible.
Good chat, btw. Its been weeks since I debated with someone on Steemit longer than for three comments ;)
Good to know
Well understood and likewise you have got me here.
