By knowing these, we can tagging our post more easy to make post popular and valuable.
As the result, they are about Steemit and Steem itself, about the blockchian such as bitcoin and ethereum, about the commonly popular materials in social mediums such as photos, life and travel.
Want to get your post trending? Tags can be the simplest way to do that!
Tags are an often overlooked or misused part of the Steemit system. It can be tricky to decide what categories your post falls into, or which tags might be most effective at getting it seen. They can be powerful tools, however, if used correctly.
Steemit has included a great way to see which tags are performing the best at any given time. Simply click on the menu (the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of the screen) and hit 'Explore'. This takes you to a highly informative breakdown of the major tags currently being used. Not only this, the total replies and payouts for each tag are also displayed - making this a particularly great way to decide on a topic, or choose good tags for a piece you've already written. It also gives a good indication of just how much money is actually being made!
For interest's sake, let's look at a brief list of the highest-performing tags at the time of writing:
steem
steemit
travel
introduceyourself
life
photography
money
marijuana
crypto-news
bitshares
funny
food
anarchism
These are just a few of the most popular and profitable topics on Steemit right now. Of course, a golden rule of this network is that what's popular today might not be popular tomorrow. This list will definitely change, possibly within hours of this post, so it's a good idea to check back for up-to-date insights on what's currently trending.
One other important point: this doesn't mean that it's a good idea to tag all your posts with the top-ranking tags even if they're not about those topics, as this probably won't get you anywhere. Improper tagging will probably mean that your post just gets ignored if it's in the wrong category. More importantly, this kind of 'tag-spamming' isn't good for Steemit, so pay attention to your tags, be smart about using them, and you'll reap the benefits.
