Hey Doc, I realized that I hadn't check in on you in quite some time so I thought I better live up to my word and give you a visit. I'm no doctor but I sense a little frustration in this post.
I diverted from this post for a few minutes to read your post about the shared tool kit. Yes, 10 views in 15 hours can surely be a big disappointment on that post. One thing I found interesting was that you failed to put a tag for "psychology" on that post. When I go fishing I cast my bait into a body of water that I would expect fish to be in, I don't cast it out in the middle of the pasture with the cows.
I will tell you that you are a rare breed on here from what I have seen, by that I mean, you are the only doctor I have run across on here. I have met a couple dentists, but other than that, your it. I looked at the lists of tags and surprisingly there isn't a tag for medicine or doctors or self help.
Psychology looks like the only tag that even comes close for that post and it isn't on it. You might want to switch out one of the other tags and see if that might help your post a little bit.
I think your idea has merit, but the majority of people on here are probably not in any position to offer any suggestions or help in that arena. I know I'm surely not.
Have you joined up with any groups on here yet or have you entered any writing contests ? Those are great ways to get to meet people and attract some followers.
If memory serves me correctly those were some of the suggestions I offered you when I first engaged with you on your intro post, if I didn't I should have because that is what I normally tell all the new folks I meet here.
I will try to keep a closer eye on you, so I'm clicking the follow button on you now. I will also re-steem that post, I don't have a big following by any means but there may one or two people who might give it a look.
There is a women's group on here that really gets behind each other you might want to look at my friend @thekittygirl is a member of it teamgirlpower or something like that, just check one of her posts, she always has a link on her's for it, and go visit them.
Keep in touch, the eyes of Texas are upon you now.
Hi @sultnpapper I really value you checking in. Yes I did follow your advice & have played around with the #tags to create a reach ... it’s all trial & error. Interestingly though this frustration has found some great ideas, worthy communities & some great guidance such as yours - so thank you.
As I care more about readership than #upvotes I am always appreciative of guidance from those who know far more than I do ... my best results as I’ve commented above is more my citation of valuable content & replies with the post authors.
I never thought this would be easy; I want it to be worth it and drawing in readers from traditional social media as I am doing makes little sense in the long run as I am better maintaining that direction through my website as previously done.
I’ll keep going & please do keep giving your expert advice. I will take a look now at @thekittygirl thank you, DJ
Whoa, young lady. I am no expert by any means. I just try and look at things with an unbiased eye and try and offer up suggestions that seem to make sense. I am no way an expert on steemit or any social media that is for sure and certain. There are plenty of experts though, we just need to work our way through and get you hooked up with the right ones.
@thekittygirl can also tell you about PYPT, which stands for "pimp your post Thursday " where you can live chat in discord with a group about your posts. I have only listened in a couple times but it seemed like a neat concept, the timing just doesn't work well with my schedule.
We'll just keep plugging along. I will say that it does make sense in the long run to bring readers from your traditional social media, they may in fact find that they can use this platform to grow what they are doing and help strengthen this one, not everyone can earn on FB or YouTube, they
can over here. So while it may not help you directly, you would be helping your readers by showing them an opportunity.
