A lot of articles have been written about what to do so that you will get the attention on your blogs. Now, I just want to take your time and (make sure I waste it), by showing how to make sure your blogs won't get noticed. Now, when you join the platform, it helps to feel overly entitled of all the attention and upvotes. That will ensure you and your blogs are wearing the ultimate invisibility cloak. But just in case that concept still seem to vague to you, I have decided to break down the components that will help pave your way in making sure your blogs doesn't get the attention you feel you oh so deserve.
I have been in this platform for a couple of years already and have seen bloggers come and go. I've also had a bit of experience in curating contents for a few communities around here. Now, it may seem that there are hundreds of things that one needs to do in order to prosper in this platform. It feels daunting and confusing. So many things to do, so many things to consider! But why waste your time learning what to do, when it is effortlesly easy not to be noticed? The goal of this article is to make sure you wither into oblivion while making sure you don't earn any bucks while doing so.
Like I've mentioned, making sure your blogs don't get noticed is uncomplicated. I've broken it down into three major components. I hope I bore you with the simplicity of it.
First Impression
The first thing you need to do to mess up your way into getting curated is to give the worst first impression. In the platform, the first thing the curators see will be your title and the thumbnail of your post. To make sure your post doesn't get noticed, keep your title as boring as possible. The more uninteresting it is, the better.
To back up your title, your thumbnail photo will assist you in your road to invisibility. The first photo if your post will be your thumbnail, unless you tinker your advanced settings in peakd to choose a different thumbnail. (Don't you dare get into the habit of learning how the advanced settings work, that will help beautify your blogs, which will not help in keeping your posts unnoticed.) Get the ugliest, most blurriest, most unimpressive photo you have and make it your blog's cover. For sure, curators will just scroll through their feed without paying any attention to your post.
Structure and Content
If for some reason a curator still clicks on your title after seeing your boring title and thumbnail, your next goal is to ensure your content is unenjoyable. Let me share some techniques in making sure your post will be unremarkable.
Bluriness is the key, my friend. Don't use the artistic kind of blurry though. Post photos that has poor lighting, doesn't follow (or break) any photography rules, those that focus on the background instead of the subject, etc. Basically choose eyesore over eyecandy kind of photos.
And while we're at the topic of photos, why don't you simply just post all photos in a way that your post will look like a photo album. And no, don't bother adding any captions. Expect that your photos are self explanatory and does not need any words at all. Why would your readers want any story behind your vacation, anyway?
You would not want to be relatable if you want to make sure your blogs don't get noticed. Who has time to read a backstory? How dare your readers demand that you bring them into your journey? If you want to remain undistinguished, keep the habit of mediocrity. Gawin mong photo album ses, ganern!
If, in any way, you decide to add some story in your content, keep it as lifeless as possible. Adding any sort of formatting to your content will beautify it. Do not try to develop any kind of writing or composition skills at all. If you want to make sure your blogs don't get noticed, do not even attempt to learn or develop any skills as you go along.
Attitude
So you've got the most unremarkable title and thumbnail, you have perfected mediocrity in your content, but still, some curators decide to take notice of you? You better drive them away with your attitude in the platform. This is the ultimate invisibility cloak, so take note.
Make sure that you have as little activity as possible. Do not comment or interact with other people in the platform. Not on their posts, not in discord, not in any group chats. If people comment on your post (how dare they notice you), do not reply on those comments. Remember, your goal is not to be noticed, it is important to make sure you ignore everyone.
If you do feel like commenting or interacting, keep it to a minimum. Interact with the same people you've been communicating with over and over again. Do not in any way, build up your network. The smaller your circle, the better at getting you unnoticeable.
Some people here in the platform will go out of their way to help you out especially if you're just starting out. Make sure you do not listen to their advice. If you want to go to the extremes and move from being unnoticed to infamous, make enemies out of the people that are trying to help you. Some people just don't understand that your ultimate goal is for your blogs not getting noticed. Shame on them.
In conclusion...
If your goal here in the platform is to make sure your blogs won't get noticed, always remember the three major components of your blogging persona here on Hive. First impression, content, and attitude. Messing up any of these three will surely make your blogs go unnoticed.
Your title should be as uninteresting and boring as possible. Partner it with an ill-composed photo that has no direction whatsoever. Also, make sure your content is as unrelatable as it can get. You don't want your audience to understand who you are or what you're trying to show. Do not get them to care about you or your post at all. And lastly, make sure your attitude is completely geared at being invisible in the platform. Put no efforts into your posts and then whine about not getting any upvotes. Mindset ba, mindset.
That's all for todays bidyow. Char! And that's how to make sure your posts won't get noticed in the platform. You're welcome!
