Hello, Macneil, and Welcome to Steemit .. from a (former) fellow teacher.
I've been posting some of my (old) teaching material on Steemit, but I'm sure that an active teacher could use it as a great tool to encourage students to write. Not sure if you can do so, but I am sure that it's worth a try.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Be yourself.
- Be interesting and informative.
- Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
- Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
p.s. I've been in Puerto Galera!! A few years ago, I passed thru on my way to Talipanan Beach, where I stayed for about 10 days. It was bliss!
Of course, being a tourist is different than being a local resident, but the Philippines is a great country with awesome potential. I hope you can realize your potential here on Steemit, and bring out the potential of all your students!!
