I've tried and tried to write a post a day, but it's just not me - I have too many days in the hills. But writing almost a post a day has definitely boosted my account and rep. I see it as a great way to get established - not just to build a following, but to work on your writing style and find out what subject matter works best for you. I definitely see myself reducing the number of posts in the future and maybe working on more detailed ones, and maybe more detailed videos.
I've also developed my Steemit posts into a blog. I've often started blogs in the past, and found it depressing that no one even notices you. Steemit might be like that when you first join, but when you have loads of people regularly commenting on and responding to your posts, that makes it all worthwhile.
@hockney's comment reminded me that the famous Victorian author Anthony Trollope, one of the few fiction writers I love, used to get up every morning at 5am to write before going to work.
This is the first blog I have ever maintained. There seemed no purpose before, but the money aspect makes it different.
I get you about the 'nobody notices you'. It's depressing to start with but it really start rolling after a few months.
Starting this week, I wont be doing a daily post anymore. I'm on a mission to cut-down. I'm sounding like a smoker now... ;)
I think writing a daily post is one of the best ways to get noticed on Steemit, but there are some very successful Steemians who only do one post a week, or less. Also, when you write a daily post you are in danger of burnout. It's great for a while though.
I think if you post less often, but try to schedule your post for the same time of the week, people will look out for them at those times.
One of the blogs I started about three years ago just got no interest, and after a while I just lost interest myself. It was like talking to a blank wall. The other day I had a look at that that blog, and suddenly there were real people signing up to it and posting comments. There were even requests to know what kind of products I was using (which means I could start earning money through affiliate links). It takes so much longer to make an impact on the Google-dominated internet than it does on Steemit. I don't know if I can be bothered getting that blog going again though!
Count me out then! It takes long enough on here to make an impact for my liking.
