If your Steemit Strategy is failing then ...2017

REQUIRED

1. Find 1 to 2 Steemians that you will consistently invest in.

Are you a new Steemit user?

Find people who provide you value and reward them for the service they provide you. Upvote, comment, and resteem!

Study their writing styles and their engagement strategies, then try to follow their example.

Are you an experienced Steemit user?

Find people who you can mentor and help shape their Steemit future.

Yes, maybe you are struggling too, but you have something to offer. Everyone has something to offer!

1. Write thoughtful comments for at least 10 posts each day.

By planning in advance to comment, you not only are building relationships with other Steemit community members, but you also are taking steps to improve your writing skills.

Both community and quality content are essential components of a healthy Steemit blog.

OPTIONAL

Submit a new story every 2-3 days.

Some of your favorite Steemians did not post new articles when they first joined Steemit. Their first and most important task was to connect with other people and develop a following.

But once you have a following, you can leverage your Steemit experience by writing new posts.

As you develop your strategy, remember to

Write quality content that is relevant to your audience.
Consistently write posts. Try to write the same amount of posts each week and consider publishing your posts at the same time each week.
Play around with the timing of your posts. If you followers are not engaging in the morning then test a post in the afternoon to see if you get engagement.
Find visual aides that complement your posts. Great pictures grab peoples' attention.
Think about your Steemit post titles. Boring titles equal low engagement.
Spend some time each week thinking about the posts that you will write about for the week/month. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
I don't have it all figured out (yet), but I am willing to put the time and effort required to become a better Steemit writer and community member.

I hope you are too! Keep Steeming!
