Need some ideas for articles that get a lot of attention?

Tags are very important when creating content. I'm a firm believer that we should write about what we are interested in, what we love and things we feel are beneficial to others.

Why do tags matter?

Tags can bring your content more attention and increase their visibility in the overall network. Furthermore, Steemit has a way to see which tags are the most active and generate the most revenue at any given time.

How do I check the most active tags on Steemit?

To check this:

1.) click on the menu (the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of the screen)
2.) hit 'Explore'

Here you will see a breakdown of the major tags that are in use. In addition, you will also see total replies and payouts for each tag.

This can be a very good way to align your writing ambitions with a topic that is highly in demand, or choose the right tags for your recent article. More importantly you can see what is making money now!

Here is a list of topics that normal bring a lot of attention and normally go hand in hand with high payouts:

steem
steemit
travel
introduceyourself
life
photography
money
marijuana
crypto-news
bitshares
funny
food
anarchism

Final Thoughts

Although it can be discouraging when you create a new article and it doesn't get much support or attention. All that means is that you need to get to know your audience better. Improve your writing skills, become better at tagging your content and leverage social networking and friendships to move your content to the top!
