STEEMIT Advanced Commenting Guide: How to Get More Out of Your Commenting Rounds

in #steemit7 years ago

So I've been getting a lot of feedback on my guides about people implementing my "Comment More" tip and getting a huge success out of it, but I've been asked multiple times on how to really maximize this strategy.

Having said that, I'm now going to share with you an Advanced Commenting Technique I use every day that will skyrocket your growth and allow you to make the most out of your comment rounds.

If you think this is something you'll make use of, then read the article bellow.

Go to the "New" Page and Comment the Right Posts:

This is the pillar and base of my advanced strategy.

Going to the "New" page will enable you to be among the first to comment, and as such your comment will have added visibility.

Being among the first ones also increases the chance of an upvote and a reply from the author, so that's a good thing as well.

Finally, make sure you only open the "new" posts from users with Reputation above 30-35 in order to ensure you're going to get some attention and eyes on your comment since most newbie users don't have a lot of views.

If you're curating and want to improve the platform, you'll want to encourage new users and find out gems, but if you're on a hurry and need to make your comment rounds with the biggest results in the least amount of time, this procedure is a core you shouldn't skip.

I find it that it makes my commenting time super-effective!

Make Your Comment Appear Larger:

Another thing you can do to increase the results of your commenting rounds is by formatting your comment in a way to make it appear bigger.

I'll give you an example:

I agree that XNC prices will go up in the next week or so, don't know about YIC though.

This comment looks like it deserves less of a vote than:

Hey man,
I agree that XNC prices will go up in the next week or so;
I don't know about YIC though.
Cheers!

As you can see, the comment below looks like it adds more and deserves a better score than the score above, but they say roughly the same thing.

The difference is that I used "Hey man" and "Cheers" to get 2 exta lines on my comment.

I also pressed enter to divide the main sentence into two and get extra space of the second line filled.

Think smart and make sure you always format your comments in a way as to make them appear better and larger to your audience's eyes.

I can vouch this works.

Avoid All Bots and Low Rep Users:

Finally, let's finish with the easiest tip to follow.

When you're on your commenting rounds, make sure to always analyze the content you're reading to figure out if this is a low investment account from someone who has multiple of them or if the content was published by a bot (there are tons of posts with the lines "Content Generated by a Bot" below the main post).

These accounts are not worth the time, so you should just close it and go on to the next article.

On the other hand, if the user has a low reputation score, you should leave the premises as well, since chances are the content is not worth your time, was plagiarized or the user isn't here to enrich the community.

Of course if you're curating then you should investigate each case out, but if you're on your commenting rounds just to ensure you grow faster you have to capitalize on your time or else you'll get nothing done.

Do it in a Consistent Way:

Finally, as anything that involves work, Steemit Commenting requires dilligence and consistency.

You need to be disciplined enough to do it in a consistent way, that way people will get used to see you around commenting on everyone's posts and they'll click you to find out who you are.

Whenever I'm doing my own comment rounds and I see a guy commenting on several different posts, I tend to click his name to find out about this user as I see that he is invested into the community and goes out of his way to meet people and participate in discussions, and we all know that is exactly what this community needs.

To finish this article, I would like to know if any of you wants me to approach any topic on Steemit, and if you have any doubt or need to me write a guide on a particular thing you would like to see covered.

As for today's guide, I hope you liked it and that you took value out of it.

Cheers!

Solid points you make there. You really put some strategy and thought into your commenting. I'm going to test out your tips and I'll let you know how it goes...

Cool! Glad you liked it and think it can work for you as well.
I'll see you around then!
Cheers!

Hey spritualmax, really good advice there .
Thanks for the guidance .
It’s all ways good to here from other members what’s effective on the platform. jkenny

My apologies, I thought I replied earlier, apparently not? Well thanks for commenting man, glad to see you here again Kenny.
Cheers!

It is funny how things that look simple makes the difference on Steemit, even in life.

Though they look simple but they require consistency and hardwork. It seemed you have mastered all that.

Well-done mate.

Thanks... I try my best, and repeat that every day and every week. It pays off.
Thanks for the comment
Cheers!

Hello man!
Sorry that I didn't reply earlier, but my last post sunk my comment box!
Hehe
Thanks for the support. Your artwork looks mighty fine!
I'm upvoting it :D
Cheers

I just read your post on "https://steemit.com/steemit/@spiritualmax/for-the-steem-newbie-more-proof-commenting-works".

I wanted to know the strategy you use in commenting. This post just answered the question. Commenting on posts has been a challenge for me. From what i have read so far i have no choice than to practice and learn to comment everyday using this strategy.

You know what they say... practice makes perfect!

@spiritualmax I fail to do "to only open new post" from your guide but still I choose to do some comments here. Your post is for real and for everybody's good. Indeed a very big help and guide for those commentators. Many of you do some post which are very useful In this community.

I do admire you a lot as I can see your not into self boosting or self improving thing clearly your into helping others. Thanks for your post and I'm so glad I made to drop by and read. This will surely help me a lot. And I'm hoping also someday in God's time I can also share something that can help others here.God blessed you and to all who have a good heart who share all they've got for the sake of helping others, lifting everbody in this community.

I like to grow as well, but I know that by helping others grow in this platform, or increasing their success rates, the user number will go up as less people give up, and we all WIN when people use steemit because we want the platform to grow.

It's better to have 1% stake in a big platform than a 5% stake in a small one.

Cheers!

Hello brother,
Thanks for the amazing tips. I'm new here and I made the mistake of not tagging my first posts properly in the beginning. I've seen many newbies like me making lots of money on their intro post.
Learned my lesson for sure. Still learning how this platform works but appreciate your advice.
Also loving the dragon breakers! Where can I get them from? Random googling or is there more to it?
Thank you

I found them on google yea, random googling for dividers hehehe.
Cheers and thank you for stopping by :D

Cool. I Already do it.

Already acount with 104$ plus waiting rewards for about 20sbd. 10day old. But will use commenting more.

See? It's even more proof it works :D

Alot of my money is from content. Not only commenting...

You don't know how much this helps newbies (or maybe you do now that I'm pointing it out hahah xD)

But in all seriousness, I didn't know about how the payouts worked, and now that you mention focusing on the new posts it makes sense, because early commenting can better expose your blog if you're new and also because upvoting newer posts will give you the curation rewards (I just learned about that as well heheh)

Thank you very much for the advise.

Yes, although to be honest curation rewards are extremelly small for us small guys.
It adds up though, so it's fine!

Hey dude
Loving the advice about commenting on the New page.
Especially when their scores are higher than a noob's.
You know...
they tend to have better hits.

Think smart

Formatting is the new black.

Will deffo work on this in future.

There are bots writing posts?!
Ok, mind officially blown.

Reps. I had an unfortunate run-in with some whales on my second day here. They smashed my rep overnight, almost in half, for commenting. At the time, I thought I was being hilarious. Lesson learned. Took a lot of hard work to build back the rep.

In answer to your question, I'd love to read more about strategies. How to make yourself successful here. Please.

Cheers! ;)

Glad you liked the post and that you keep on coming Anjk.
Will definitely approach more strategies as I go by and develop them myself... remember that I'm still fresh off the boat :D
Cheers

Great news
dude
You're fresh but you're smashing it. You've got a great brain.
Thanks :D
