RE: ❓Answering Common Questions: How do I get more Votes? - Part 7: Put in the WORK!
Hi - nice series,
I think series of posts like this are actually a great strategy (for getting more votes), and wanting to develop them is one of the reasons I'm holding off posting every day. I'm currently working on a 'why I'm quitting teaching' series for example, but it's taking a bit of time to structure the whole series coherently.
It's quite difficult to do on here because you have to 'think backwards' and do the intro post last (because you can't update it after seven days), but you've given me here a bit more of an idea of how I can make it work - with the links at the bottom.
I'm also finding that I'm following lots of people who post 2-4 times a day...it's embarrassing to see 'churn posts' just done for the money, and they're on the blockchain forever.
I think even though it means earning less, less is actually more when it comes to posting - better to post better quality 2-3 times a week, rather than just churning out shite 4 times a day! As you say.. patience - I think it should come in the form of background work, then only post when you've got something 'proper'.
Personally I'm also really getting into commenting... it actually seems to be a very effective to way to engage with a few selected people (gotta find your niche) and if you actually show some evidence that you've read the post, they tend to go back and upvote your most recent post(s) - assuming it's their bag of course.
Big help here this week has been @abh12345's nice little curation competition.
Cheers!
Karl.
P.S. I had a TLDR comment on my other blog recently, I had to look it up - I took it as a complement.
