How To Trade Your Attention The Right Way.
Life is most times a blank page you have to make sense of. With twists and turns you only discover at the point of encountering them, there’s no telling what the future holds.
In 2017, there’s the major rush to grab the largest piece of The now famous attention pie. Your eyeballs suddenly aren’t worth that much anymore and everyone now wants your attention but do they truly care about it? How do you know you aren’t being cheated by these attention seekers?
Like life, they present you with a blank page and expect you to turn it into something that’ll catch/grab the attention of others. How do you approach this blank page? Do you come, every time, with a preset idea or do you just stare and allow the blank page speak to you?
Different strokes for different folks yeah? The key is in understanding what they truly want from you and giving them just that. Let’s explore a select few.
What Facebook Wants From You
What’s on your mind?
This is basically easy to come up with as you just have to dump whatever it is that’s on your mind at the moment. It’s no wonder you see all sorts of “updates” on Facebook. People are simply answering the question they’re being asked. Some folks with deeper minds go a step further to craft engaging pieces but at the end of the day, it’s all a function of the capacity of the mind at that point in time.
What Twitter Wants From You
What’s happening?
It’s all about “now”. It’s about the stuff going on in your head at the moment, the stuff happening around you. This appears very relevant and certainly dictates the type of stuff you find on there. You’re required to share what’s happening right now, with you or anyone else. It’s why you tend to get quick updates as happenings unfold.
What Steemit Wants From You
Write your story...
This right here requires you to be a bit more thoughtful and meticulous in planning and presentation. You’ve got a blank page and a world eagerly waiting to read what you’ve got to share. It’s your story, an opportunity to share with the world the things you believe in, the ones you fancy or don’t, and some other stuff.
Now if we begin to follow this simple instruction, there’ll no more be that excuse of “I don’t know what to write about.” Whether we admit it or not, we all have a story to tell, and this isn’t a monthly or yearly story but something that happens on a daily basis.
Do you want to tell your story or share what’s on your mind or what’s happening?
Would you rather talk about what’s happening rather than tell the world a story?

It's a little way to support the Nigerian community.
Maybe we’ll launch a witness if you do 😊

Thanks for the enlightment,if you look at Steemit critically it comprises of both twitter and facebook making steemit very useful.
graet keep go on
A lot is always expected from us, in different occasions we have be be relevant, but at the same time, it's our opinion either to be useful or not. we should be able to think out of the box, this is the only way we can direct our minds to what we really want to do.
Depends on my needs at the moment. On the go I might need a quick laugh or to drop a quick joke and twitter is quite suitable for that, but a more balanced and stable setting with more attention span is when steemit usually comes into play
My thoughts exactly!
