Twitter seems easy
(Last Twitter post for this month I promise)
Now I am aware of my influence here and that a lot of my starting following on Twitter are Steemians, but honestly all it seems you need is being active. The more I've been fiddling with the analytics page the more I realize how addictive that itself can get and I really can't wait for Steemit to implement some of their own in the very near future. You post a Tweet or reply to a tweet and a couple hours later quickly go to check how those are doing. The impression stats are nice because they can grow up to some big numbers and it's just whoever viewed it on their machine, then there's engagement which I'm assuming is for likes+comments.
Anyway this is something that's really going to blow up on Steem and I can easy see some people delegate some stake to projects that would focus on rewarding users that are good at increasing those stats mentioned above. I realize the saying "if there's money to be made people will attempt to game it", but hey, right now we are at the phase where people aren't even attempting to game it because they can't be bothered with it, lol. So just adding some extra incenvites onto attempting to raise those numbers will do Steem good in general while some may opt out if they want a more "natural" growth though I don't see many not wanting to receive some extra rewards for what they are already doing.
Anyway so this is my screenshot from 9 days ago, I admit I haven't been tweeting much for a week (was going to post about what happened but will be in another post as it's a lot) but just wanted to show you the "progress" of a couple days where I was trying a bit more than usual to raise my analytics:
As you can see it pumped almost similarly to the price of Steem. :D
So what I noticed is basically that it doesn't really matter much what you say as long as it drives engagement and gets a lot of impressions. As someone who used to be very good on Reddit knowing when to place comments and where and maybe them not being completely shit I think this is something I could see myself focusing on for a bit and trying to raise my follower base there while all along sharing and growing with my fellow Steemians.
The different stats of engagement, link clicks, etc looked decent there right up until the break too:
The #posh initiatives are still in full going although we are shifting most of our curation focus and combinations onto our new community (link in case you haven't heard of it: https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-174578)
we are focusing curation there a lot more from now on and adding some new incentives such as engagement which I also need to get back up to date with it's activity since it got a bit delayed because of (something that happened that I yet have to post about), but I might as well make a post about it at the same time once I've taken care of what I've missed so far.
Anyway, how has your twitter activity been lately? Any tips other than just being really active and early on with some witty replies on high follower tweets? :p I think I need to follow a few more crypto people.
Not as many as you but I agree it get's addicitve to look at the analytics.
Almost 100 followers now, many of them STEEM peeps, though not all. My account is old but haven't used it much until recently.
I didn't even know we can do that O.o
Me and twitter = the blind with sun glasses
I learned that recently myself, think I've had that account since 2010 or something.
Imagine the addiction to steem we'd have with these analytics, people will forget about Discord real fast.
Yes, but who can do it? Would love analytics to be here.
Let's just tag @jarvie and @asgarth at random places over and over until they shift their development focus. :p
Sad I only got one tag. hahaha
K so what do you guys want more specifically?
We haven't touched general account analytics since steempeak.com started as we've been busy doing a bunch of other things... we have always known we'd come back to it because there are so many more things we can do.
However if we had a few people providing solid feedback as to what analytics would be addictive to people that would be nice. Specially if those people were understanding of what features would provide the most return for the least amount of development time.
I would also say that most analytics on steem have focused on MONEY analytics which isn't what most other sites do... they focus on engagement analytics ... which we both agree are likely more interesting AND bring more people to steem because then people are more motivated to actually share their content even to people who have no vote or account.
And knowing that analytics is likely gonna have to be a gradual thing... where we add some perhaps each development cycle. But having a game plan would be nice.
On another note it's my personal opinion that Steem users aren't really experienced at engagement and pushing eyeballs to their stuff... we see very little amount of people linking their posts to the outside world. But to be fair this is their first rodeo for most of these people and they've been used to places like reddit, twitter, youtube that have huge user bases... but they don't realize that there are people posting content from twitter, youtube and the likes all over the internet like on the news. Twitter gets shared on reddit... there are whole youtube videos or even channels that focus on curating and sharing content from reddit. etc
As i've checked out steempeak analytics I've seen a few posts get tens of thousands of views and yet get very little rewards.
Indeed, this is what would be nice with public analytics to have as well, which I think would also be nice if you guys could implement instead of the way Twitter only shows it for personal use and same thing with Reddit subreddit traffic only shows it to moderators. Keep it all public and transparent for anyone to see which would align with the Steem spirit in general, but yeah.
I think the most important first steps would be a viewcounter, if you guys also build the backbone to differentiate between accounts and bring weekly/monthly viewcounter/"impression" charts one can check up specifically somewhere then it would also pave the way for something like adding Brave to steempeak for each content creator (I don't know how this last part would work exactly but having the option open would be a + and if you guys want to share some BAT revenue with the content creators that have generated most of the traffic would be appreciated both ways and at the same time lead to even more traffic when they're aware of what sharing their steempeak links outside of the steem ecosystem can entail, not to mention specific accounts/stake that give extra curation incentive before posts pay out depending on the views they generated.
So yeah, any sort of viewcounter would be very much appreciated at first, doesn't even matter much to begin with if it's easily gamed (which I think was the reason Steemit removed theirs last time to "fix it" and it remained gone.
Good to hear it’s helping — I continue to post, fairly regularly, on Twitter using Posh initiative (even tagging yiu) but I still don’t think you guys are seeing my posts?
https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-174578 start posting on the beta site on our community and we won't be able to miss you, but remember there's no guarantee that all posts will be curated. Add the #posh comment in the posts as well for a higher vote.
Okay, will give it a try :)
Thats really fucking great though hey😮😮
Sharing #steem #posh tweets every day..... With my 11,000 Followers on Twitter.... https://twitter.com/Offgrid_Crypto/status/1221592323932508160?s=20 #posh #ocd #curate #offgrid #photocircle
If anyone is interested in knowing which of their posts are the most viewed on SteemPeak I made a post in the SteemPeak community ... just something fun to do while we're considering how to improve analytics.

Not doing as well as you. Just hanging in there and participating in the #posh initiative. Mine is a satirical account. Guess I need to start chasing Twitter Whales...
I keep lists on Twitter, and now have almost 200 "Crypto-Influencers" on this list:
https://twitter.com/i/lists/1074146350034432001
Right now we are very incestuous on Twitter. Most STEEMers have only other STEEMers as connections. Therefore, no one else sees the tweets.
A good strategy is to follow 1-2 crypto tweeps each day and get them on a list. RT from the list a few times a week. RT with a comment for better results. Try to engage those other crypto people, and over time they will be following you.
