RE: Does curation work?
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.
