I was on reddit for the first time in a long time yesterday doing a bit of LEO hustling.
That mainly means going around the site reading posts and dropping a few hive or leo related hints. I get the appeal of the site to people that don't know any better but it's really no fun to me.
Why waste so much time on a site like that when you have LEO that will reward you for the same activities?
A site like reddit, medium, twitter, wordpress ect..
We are actually so lucky to have leo and hive where the hard work is done for us.
This was a post from the blogging community on reddit where a person is trying to get started blogging.
How do you gain an audience? How long would it likely take? How exactly do you get money from it? What are topics that people want to read about? Is getting some extra money from writing a blog even viable, these days? Should separate topics have separate blogs, or should you just dump everything on the same blog? What are the best websites to have the blog on? Anything else that is crucial to know? All thoughts are welcome.
The top answers tells the to buy their own domain and control it.
Pick a narrow niche to gain seo.
Spread word about their blog to other sites.
Use affiliates, and sell related products.
How many hours and days do you think it would take this person to,
Buy a domain.
Build a wordpress.
Market themselves.
Gain 100 followers.
Earn any advertising revenue.
Gain any affiliate.
I think that it would take months and cost money to just get on the ladder of having a blog never mind becoming successful. That could take years to make it anyway profitable.
I told them to just join leofinance.
Get a free and secure account.
Start earning from day 1.
You still need to market yourself and put in the work to grow but it takes one day instead of weeks to get started and you can be in profit from day one if you start commenting and getting votes.
It's not really though.
You won't go from zero to millionaire overnight.
That just doesn't happen and anybody who does is the exception to the rule and not the rule itself.
The rule is that instant success comes from years of slow and steady building.
You write thousands of blogs to create the one which goes viral and brings in thousands of followers.
You gain followers one at a time until you grow large enough to go viral.
You earn pennies for years until you get recognized and earn dollars, then hundreds of dollars.
Leofinance is still such a young site that it's only now starting to gain a foothold in the industry. We expect people to view it the same as medium or similar financial sites but the reality is that we are still in the stage of gaining users one at a time.
That will change as we put in the work to the stage where we see hundreds joining a day or seeing leo content trending on reddit or facebook. Then it goes viral and could bring in thousands of users at once.
It will take years of building to do this but we have seen the charts and they are moving in the right direction.
Below is a chart with the number of unique users that posted from the LeoFinance frontend.
That line has a nice direction to it at the moment and we are slowly gaining momentum.
