RE: Getting To Know The Japanese Steemit Community

in #japan7 years ago (edited)

Hi @rt395... Good morning n welcome back to Jpn! Thank you so much for introducing my post here. Well... I started using steemit since last month. I'm newbie but I have similar opinion with you. I mean, write article in English or another language is important to let everyone know about one's article, and also I think "tag" is very important in steemit, isn't it? I had nice chatting with @olga2772 and @yadamaniart the other day, it was about how we can communicate with steemians outside of Japan and what does "good post" mean. I got some ideas from them and that's also why I tried writing my article in English and Korean yesterday(Korean is 100% translate with Google).
I'm enjoying steemit right now already, but also I think every Japanese steemians has more opportunity to take off to other countries. So I want to keep testing what I can do right now to see which is the best way to write article from Japan to the world... This takes time and not easy to keep going especially I can't get any reactions. But I've known there's some people who are trying to find " good post" so I have positive feeling right now. And in that meaning, your post today also encouraged me a lot. I really appreciate you. I'm thinking write about this topic in my post some day.
Take care and please take some rest first ;)

@yo-yo san, thank you for the welcome back!

There are a lot of factors that go into having your post succeed. Tags are one of the most important, but they are losing their importance because your post will be buried amongst many others under the same tag. This leads to three other options:

  1. Niche tags. They won't get the traffic, but they will get devotees. For example the "Homesteading" tag produced a nice, small, strong community that supported one another.
  2. Bots. Think of them as advertising to get your post notice by everyone else. If you are not using them you are handicapping yourself, as I did for too long. Also, you must know "how" to use them. Time them to vote on your post before the 30min mark so you receive the maximum rewards.
  3. Networking. Just like in life networking and building relationships is essential. Commenting on people's posts, joining their discord servers, etc. This is as important if not more important than tags.

Of course your content needs to stand out. There are several ways to do this, format, presentation(photos) and one I like, sensationalism. Japan is still a very small community so you can find your niche before others and build on that category. However, even the best content will not get you the votes unless you get picked up by a whale or curation service like OCD. It just takes time to build your account and followers. You need to invest your time and your $$. A larger wallet will attract people. Some people don't like this, but it has to be said.

Language. There are 3 primary languages in the world, English, Spanish & Chinese. English has the largest, most valuable audience. I think Chinese and Spanish are probably equal at the moment in terms of value, but with China's crackdown Spanish will take the lead over Chinese.

These are just quick thoughts to get back to you. I will probably make a long, detailed post about them someday....

wow... very interesting! I got many information what I didn't know... Thank you so much for your time to make this note dear and I'm going to do them one by one. yoyo
