Hi there dear friends on Ecency and all other Frontends on Hive. It's TheRingMaster and I wanted to share a secret most people are not aware of about social media and that certainly includes Web3 platforms like this very platform you're reading my blog on, Hive.
The funny and very obvious thing is that these days, many people think success on social media is about having a large number of followers or numerous likes. This notion is pervasive and makes it seem like the only way to succeed online. However, I have a different view about the whole thing. My personal belief is that the true standard of social media success is not measured by the number of followers or likes one gets but rather by how much attention one attracts.
Anyone that observes my Hive account would probably already know this routine of mine;
One new friend I made last week was 
Right after she did that, I immediately sent her a message on one of her posts thanking her for following me and supporting my blogs.
Not just any thank you, but my sincere feelings which will get them know how excited I am about connecting with them. I believe It is very important for this personalized conversation because it means that I value their concern and would love to make a genuine connection.
In my honest opinion, getting involved is the main thing when it comes to being successful on social media. It’s not about having 10,000 or 50,000 followers or a blue tick for verification purposes only. While these milestones are great, they should not be the ultimate goal. Instead of this, it would be better to connect and engage with those who follow you as this is an original objective.
I always endeavor to be deliberate in these exchanges or chats so that I make them aware that I cherish them as human beings rather than mere digits appearing on the display.
Focusing on engagement helps create a community. I believe this is something 
This group of people genuinely likes what you post about, interacts with your posts and supports your journey. These are your loyal followers; they will stick around even during bad times, share your posts and help your account grow organically. Such growth that occurs naturally is far more valuable than simply watching one’s follower count increase without any substantial interactions.
I really love the engagement and especially when I'm seeing the people that follow me, comment my blogs because it's proof that my content matters.
To me, nothing works best when it comes to making my time on social media much meaningful and enjoyable than this approach. I end up getting a better knowledge of those who follow me whenever I interact with them. This includes their hobbies, problems they face and accomplishments. That is why I now find being present on the internet very fulfilling. It’s not like I’m addressing some anonymous audience but talking to real people.
I know how easy it is to want to have many followers. We can all be tempted by the pursuit of more numbers whether it is likes or followers as social media platforms emphasize such measurements. But for me, the reason why we are all there should never leave our mind. For me, it’s about connection. It’s about sharing my thoughts, experiences, and journey with others.
I can construct more genuine relationships with my followers if I put engagement first. Consequently, this will enhance the quality of interactions and create an atmosphere of meaningful exchanges. I hold that this is what social media success is.
If you want to improve your social media presence, I suggest concentrating on engagement instead of numbers. Commence by replying to comments and messages. Show your followers that they are not just a number in a list for you. Be decisive in your dealings with others. Spend time finding out about who follows you and let them know something about yourself.
The social media is a link tool. It could be an avenue to create a network of people who are passionate about the same things as you are. Never stray away in the chase for more followers or likes. Rather, strive to make every interaction meaningful and develop actual friendships. This way, your experience on social media will be much more gratifying.
The aim of social media should not be to use only engage with those who follow you but also to engage with them properly. Here one has to take time to respond to messages, interact deliberately and treat your followers as individuals. By so doing, it becomes possible to build a close-knit community which offers support and then become successful on social media for real.
I end by saying thank you for reading guys, I really appreciate your time spent on my blog. Can't wait to get your feedbacks.
