[Steemit] More STEEMin' ahead !steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

Well I've been using Steemit for a bit now and a few important points strike me... 

Steemit is creative freedom, but it's also about engagement. And by this I don't mean promotion. Yes, you can take short cuts (bots, delegation etc) and see some views on your posts in the short term, but it IS better to:

  • Engage directly by writing genuine posts that share, inspire or help out.
  • Put in time to engage more with others. This means: curating! Find the gems. Search carefully in the bar for interests that match yours, then support by voting or giving good feedback. Browse subjects that suit your feed (without getting too off-topic if possible.) 
  • Search and resteem something, often if possible, that adds some value to your core subject(s).

Inspire and be inspired


This way you can also gain followers who may be more likely to actually follow you, and enjoy their own feeds when logging in.

That's not to say you can still write other kinds of posts, but this is more a microblogging realm right now. Long posts, unless technical or important ones, can be too much on the eye. Quality not quantity. Add to a conversation. Go deeper. Provoke a bit, run a contest or ask for support or feedback on a project. This really seems to work. 

I reckon Steemit (and its kind) can then become more collaborative + motivational places that are not just about hot air. All of us can raise the quality level on here, of posts and comments.

Quote: it’s ok to quote others, but use blockquotes and credit them.

Just some thoughts.

Discovery! I only just noticed the Editor +html feature when creating new posts :)
After all this time I've been using Markdown. Is that a google chromebook issue? Oh well, at least I'm catching up. To be honest though, I think I prefer using the markdown. We"ll see.
