What A Minnow Should Know; Use Of Tags

In this first series I will be talking on something that has been giving me concern about the posts of minnows, and that is using the wrong tags for any post.

Though I am still a minnow and also learning from the masters, I promised in my introductory post to impact whatever knowledge I have to others, and that is what I want to do now.

Most Minnows believe the use of a specific tag help people to earn more money on a post, and so they follow suit using that same tag so that they also can earn a lot of reward on their articles. But it doesn't work that way.

There are different tags for each post depending on the theme of the post to be made.
It should be noted that using a wrong tag for a particular post is called SPAMMING and it is a serious offence on steemit.
Let's take a look at some tags and what kind of post they are used for

Photography : this tag is used for articles with little words but plenty pictures, and not just anyhow picture, the picture must be clear and of good quality. The picture must be able to convey the message you want to pass with that post.

Bitcoin: the answer to this can be gotten from the name. This tag is used for any article relating to bitcoin.

Art: it is not limited to drawing alone, the tag can also be used for anything that relates to art; talk of music, drawing, fighting skills etc.

There are still other tags that I haven't named mention of in this article. But I hope with this, a minnow will be able to learn something new.

Please do not be taken as a spammer on steemit, use the right tag for your posts. Earning money on steemit is not just the only thing that should be on your mind, thinks of impacting in the lives of others with good posts even if it won't bring you money.
