7 ways make your post get real attention

in #steemit6 years ago

As a beginner it is always very hard to get attention. That is because you are new and don't have enough experience to make you post of high quality. You cannot compete in this huge crowd of people blogging for years.
Here are some tips to gain some attention

1 - Make your posts Attractive
People don't want to read the posts containing only texts and text. A whole essay is difficult to read and they may end up not looking at the information you give. Here is how you can make your post look attractive

  • Use good pictures, the picture must not be too big or too small. Pictures with transparent background is best to use in your post. Picture completely covering the blog page looks good. A related picture after some text looks awesome. Make sure not to use a lot of pictures in a single post.
  • Make a proper use of bullets and numbering if you are giving points. It makes reader easy to read your content.
  • Use bold letters, italic letters and headings for important texts. Even if reader don't read all of the content they will definitely read the highlighted ones.
  • Click "Markdown Styling Guide" and learn to make your post more eye catching.
  • Make use of capital letter, never forget to capitalize the first letter of the sentence.

2 - Good Use of Title

Title is what brings people to click on your post. Title is one of the most important part. Even for well stabilized newspaper or T.V Channels, title is the most important part.
This is how you to make your title more attractive

  • Make a title of 5 to 10 words, not too long and not too short.
  • Try to make the title as interesting as possible, but don't do click bait.
  • Never use a misleading title.
  • Make use of numbers in your title.
  • Even if your post talks about a little bit of different topic, make a title which is a trending topic or which is a real problem for many people which they want to solve.

3 - Good use of tags

Tags are what gives you the right audience. For a social medias like YouTube proper tag no longer makes a huge difference but for a social media like steemit tags are what are most important to gain some following and gain some visitors in your post.
Here is how to use proper tags

  • Look at the left corner of the screen where steemit lists "Popular tags", read all the popular tags and use one of it in your post.
  • If something is trending use it as a tag. There is a high chance that most of the steemit users want to know about it but not most of them know about it and the tag is not popular yet.

4 - Read others content

The more you read the more you learn. You must accept the fact that most of us here are new and know only a little bit. There are more people intelligent than you and you can learn many things from them.
Here is how to read

  • Only follow those people who you like and read all the posts in your feed.
  • After reading comment in their post.
  • Try to make your posts of same quality but don't copy it.

5 - Power down your post

Power Downing your initial posts make people click your post because you are not greedy for money. No one likes greedy people. Even if didn't power down you will not get anything from your initial post. So it's better to power down your post.
Power Downing your post is one of the greatest way to get attention

6 - Initial friendly and strong text

People will read your first text without clicking your post. If you have something interesting in your first text then it people will want to read the whole post. Make people eager to read your post after reading your first sentence.
Here is how to make it strong

  • Start with greetings
  • Discuss about your previous post in short. It will make your audience believe that you are someone old and established writer here.
  • Show love to your followers

7 - Good use Thumbnail
The first picture you upload is your thumbnail here on steemit. So make a good use of it and make people click your post.
