"Dear Dawne - Quality Content And Why It Matters!"
Season 1 - Episode 5
We Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" To Help You Directly!
(Also Newbie Nickels Added Again This Week!)
General Topic: Quality Content And Why It Matters!
What makes quality content? What brings people to your page? What makes them read, comment and Upvote your post?
All questions I hear dozens of times a day.
So let's break the questions down...
What makes quality content?
First you need to find out what you want to write about. What are your passions? Start there.
If you love to cook... share a recipe. Take pictures along the way of preparations; or videos if you want and share using dtube. But don't just post images or videos. Post the recipe and some helpful tips and hints. Share WHY this is one of your favorite recipes. Was it one your family always shared for Sunday dinner together? Was it one you learned all by yourself. Bring the reader into your post. At the end of that post, ask the readers to share their favorite recipe. Always end your post with a question. This invites the readers in.
ALSO, make sure you are formatting correctly. I have pinned a few links with formatting tips in the newbieresteem Discord group.
What brings people to your page?
HAVE a snappy headline and title. If you are writing about a fun adventure you took over the weekend and have some pictures to share, then make your title and first picture of the post the BEST it can be. Take a look at @papa-pepper's page. ALL his title have an inviting feel to them. Look at my recent post here. It's titled “Well it has started and I'm not sure how to stop it”. Just seeing that you have no idea what I was writing about, but now you're curious.
What makes them read, comment and Upvote your post?
HAVE fun... add humor to the post; where you can and if not a serious topic. In the above mentioned post I did, I made fun of myself. I added little slips of humor. Make the reader smile, make them relate to what you're writing about. The more interaction possibilities you leave in your post; the more followers, Upvotes and comments you'll start seeing coming your way.
Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)
Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.
First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.
