RE: A bit of me

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Hello, Sabina, and Welcome to Steemit.

Nice ID name! And some nice photos. I particularly like the portrait by Botond.


Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 10–20 photographs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some text to complement the photos. Anything from background info about the subject, to technical details about the camera or the photo, or even anything about your overall technique. As long as you have a fine balance between images and text, you'll get a better response.
3 – Ensure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – 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.)
7 – 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!

this is really nice advice. kinda sad noone posted this on my post!

Everyone's busy. Everyone's looking out for him/her self.

Actually, so am I. But every now and then, I go thru the INTRO MYSELF posts, searching for those that are high-quality, and those that show promise. And I've always sided with the underdog, so here on Steemit, if I can help many newbies, I will get some sense of satisfaction.

You're welcome. You’re welcome. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.

@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge (Temporarily inactive)
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer

For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.

I'll make sure to keep an eye out on the challenges. Sadly I'm not a photographer...

Thinking about it, I might just start fiddling with photography a bit, as I love art.

Thanks for the tips, and good luck!
