Here's a phenomenon that seems unfair.
Let's say you write thousands of valuable, amazing, heartfelt words... and get no votes or follows from them. Perhaps you were hoping to get curated by @ocd or @tipu, so you poured a lot of love into your content, and having it passed by can feel terrible, like a punch in the gut. Or maybe as if society is spitting on your work. But the situation isn't exactly what it feels like, and that 'unfairness' feeling will distract you from the truth.
And the truth is that usually getting ignored means we dropped the ball somewhere. It happens because we're not as good as we like to think at something that really matters:
Getting people to actually click on our 'great content' & check it out.
Chances are we may be good at writing an article, but not good at persuading people to pay attention long enough to read it, or even open it. We're often not great at convincing people to follow us with the tools we have.
Many of my posts have performed fairly well, with only a handful of followers, but a month ago I made a photo-retouching post, and it earned much less than my other posts. It was basically 'ignored.' I didn't complain, I didn't get mad, I simply started exploring what I did wrong. I started looking at how well my post persuaded people to click. I looked at whether or not it persuaded photographers or photography lovers to follow me.
Because persuading people to click & follow is a very different skill than expressing our thoughts in text or writing a blog.
And there are 5 things people are looking for --and judging (yes, judging) you on-- when they engage with you on Hive or most social platforms. You could create the best content in the world, but if you refuse to improve the 5 elements I'm about to cover, your content, (unfortunately) will likely be ignored.
I originally wrote these 5 up because @gabstar , a member of the @rutablockchain discord asked me for tips on succeeding on Hive. (I did a fire interview with @danielvehe & @enmy recently, translated into Español by @cynshineonline , not sure if the recording is available.) You may already have guessed from the thumbnail what they are, but let's explore them a bit deeper.
1. USERNAME
The internet is a big, 'anonymous' place. When people 'meet' you online, they're not meeting your smile, your clothes, or your handshake. As they scroll, they're not being introduced to you with 'hi, my name is so-and-so.' Instead, they receive whatever you present to them. And your name says a lot about you. A name like 'Candy' or 'Bambi' will spark certain feelings in a reader. A name like 'Spencer' or 'Urkel' will spark quite different feelings. Your username can do a lot of work to get people to follow you if you use it well to spark desired emotions in others or otherwise convey value.
Think About It...
Which user name would you rather click on? @hiveteacher101 or @xjose1976diablo

2. PROFILE PICTURE
In real life, you make subconscious snap conclusions about people based on their appearance. We don't want or aim to 'judge a book by its cover', but we all have very different feelings inside us from walking past a petite, delicate beauty queen than we do from a hulking, 7-foot UFC fighter. We all have different feelings from a thin, disheveled, bespectacled teen than we do from a corduroy-wearing, bearded elder. Online, 'first impressions' are made by our profile photo or the 'avatar' we choose. People are paying close attention to your photo to decide whether or not to engage with you. Have you put enough energy into yours?
Think About It...
Which profile photo is more compelling to you? A tiny far away body shot, or a beautifully lit close-up of someone's face? Compare Eva Longoria's profile pic:

to Haylen Solarte's:

People are seeing your profile photo all the time, so I encourage you to invest a bit more love into it.

3. BIO LINE
Have you heard of an 'elevator pitch' in business or a 'logline' for a screenplay? These are what are used when creators in those fields want to convince others to 'give them a shot.' They're attention-getting, concise blurbs that communicate a lot of value to the receiver in an elegant way. These lines make people want to learn more, explore, and dig deeper. It inspires people to 'follow' you.
Think about it...
As a viewer/reader, what line is more compelling to you?
"Hi I do lots of things and post about whatever I want like singing, dancing, and horoscopes, I hope you like it!"
Or...
"Teacher Of Rebels. The 'Eminem' Of The Self-Help World. (Follow for secrets to mastering life that you won't learn anywhere else!)"

4. HEADLINES
I've written about headlines multiple times, because they're insanely important. Imagine how many headlines your viewers are being bombarded with a day. Imagine how picky they are about which ones they click on. Imagine that your headlines are competing with all the other headlines in their feed, including major media outlets like Buzzfeed, Mashable, etc. This is the reality of things. Most people's content-consuming decisions hinge on the headlines they see, and some publisher's out there put a ton of time and energy into their headlines with the aim of compelling viewers to click. Are you doing the same?
Think About It...
Which headline would snap people out of auto-pilot-scrolling their feed and click?
"People Should Join Hive 'Cause It's Good!"
or
"Why Hive's New Social Platform Is Perfect For Trump (Try It Free!)"

5. THUMBNAIL
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but if your thumbnail is subpar, it might as well be a thousand bad words about how much your content isn't worth reading. A great thumbnail, on the other hand, speaks volumes to viewers about the quality of the content inside. It persuades them that if they click, the article will be worth their time. It may seem unfair that people are judging your writing based on a pretty picture, but that's almost the only thing they have to go on. They can't read your writing yet. They're not comparing your writing yet (besides your headline, usually), and so the only other piece of data they have to decide on your post is the thumbnail. Make their lives easier and make your content more compelling to them. Take the time to make a great thumbnail image.
Think About It...

A more polished thumb, complete with text?

Whew! There we have it. These 5 things are what viewers are constantly judging your content on. They're comparing you to the 'competition' (they're entire feed, everywhere). They're comparing your 5 elements to everybody else's that they follow. So it's important to be honest with yourself...
Do your 5 elements measure up to other people out there?
Have you really poured enough love into them? Have you improved your headline skills and image skills? If so, how much? Enough? Are you bold enough to actually change your username? Or at least spend an hour or two on a bio line? After all, it's something that's in all potential follower's faces, fairly often, might be worth investing some energy, right?
Anyway, if you want to get votes, curation, followers, etc... you have one job: to "win over people's judgment." And you have the same few tools everyone else on social has to accomplish this. I've outlined 5 of the most important ones here, with the aim of helping you understand more clearly what they are and how they affect your viewers. I could 'keep all these secrets' to myself, but I just want more people on Hive to succeed. I care about you and want you to win.
So I hope this makes sense and gives you ideas on how to grow on Hive.
P.S. Special thanks to @yenmendt , @aguilaazul7777 , @soychalbed , @irvinc , @makeup.byidy , @zullyscott , and everyone else who asked great questions in our discord interview. I'm sorry if I missed you, it was a very active chat and I don't speak Spanish, lol. I almost kept this post just for Gabriela in my private mastermind group, but because so many people were asking about successful Hive-content in the interview, I expanded on it and turned it into this post. Thanks for inspiring this, I really appreciate you.
Digamos que escribes miles de palabras valiosas, increíbles y sinceras... y no obtienes votos ni follows por ello. Tal vez esperabas ser curado por @ocd o @tipu, por lo que volcaste mucho amor en tu contenido, y que lo pasen por alto puede sentirse terrible, como un golpe en las tripas. O tal vez como si la sociedad estuviera escupiendo sobre tu trabajo. Pero la situación no es exactamente lo que parece, y esa sensación de "injusticia" te distrae de la verdad. Y la verdad es que, por lo general, ser ignorado significa que hemos dejado caer la pelota en alguna parte. Ocurre porque no somos tan buenos como nos gusta pensar en algo que realmente importa: Lo más probable es que seamos buenos escribiendo un artículo, pero no buenos persuadiendo a la gente para que preste atención el tiempo suficiente para leerlo, o incluso para abrirlo. A menudo no somos buenos para convencer a la gente de que nos siga con las herramientas que tenemos. Muchos de mis posts han funcionado bastante bien, con un puñado de seguidores, pero hace un mes hice un post de retoque fotográfico, y ganó mucho menos que mis otros posts. Fue básicamente "ignorado". No me quejé, no me enfadé, simplemente empecé a explorar qué había hecho mal. Empecé a mirar si mi post persuadía a la gente a hacer clic. Miré si persuadía o no a los fotógrafos o a los amantes de la fotografía a seguirme. Y hay 5 cosas que la gente está buscando - y juzgando (sí, juzgando) cuando se relacionan contigo en Hive o en la mayoría de las plataformas sociales. Podrías crear el mejor contenido del mundo, pero si te niegas a mejorar los 5 elementos que voy a cubrir, tu contenido, (desafortunadamente) será probablemente ignorado. Originalmente escribí estos 5 porque @gabstar , un miembro de la discordia @rutablockchain me pidió consejos para tener éxito en Hive. (Hice una entrevista fuego con @danielvehe & @enmy recientemente, traducida al español por @cynshineonline , no estoy seguro si la grabación está disponible). Puede que ya hayas adivinado por la miniatura lo que son, pero vamos a explorarlos un poco más a fondo. Internet es un gran lugar 'anónimo'. Cuando la gente te "conoce" online, no está conociendo tu sonrisa, tu ropa o tu apretón de manos. Cuando se desplazan, no se les presenta con un "hola, me llamo fulano". En su lugar, reciben lo que tú les presentas. Y tu nombre dice mucho de ti. Un nombre como "Candy" o "Bambi" despertará ciertos sentimientos en el lector. Un nombre como "Spencer" o "Urkel" despertará sentimientos muy diferentes. Tu nombre de usuario puede hacer un mucho trabajo para que la gente te siga si lo utilizas bien para despertar las emociones deseadas en los demás o para transmitir valor de alguna manera. Piensa en ello... ¿Quieres mejorar tu nombre de usuario? En la vida real, sacas conclusiones subconscientes sobre las personas basándote en su apariencia. No queremos ni pretendemos "juzgar un libro por su portada", pero todos tenemos sentimientos muy diferentes dentro de nosotros al pasar por delante de una pequeña y delicada reina de la belleza que de un corpulento luchador de la UFC de 2 metros. Todos tenemos sentimientos diferentes al ver a un adolescente delgado, desaliñado y con gafas que al ver a un anciano con pana y barba. En Internet, la "primera impresión" la da nuestra foto de perfil o el "avatar" que elegimos. La gente presta mucha atención a tu foto para decidir si se relaciona contigo o no. ¿Has puesto suficiente energía en la tuya? Piensa en ello... ¿Quieres mejorar tu foto de perfil? ¿Has oído hablar de un "elevator pitch" en los negocios o de un "logline" para un guión? Son los que se utilizan cuando los creadores en esos campos quieren convencer a otros de que "les den una oportunidad". Son frases concisas que llaman la atención y comunican mucho valor al receptor de forma elegante. Estas líneas hacen que la gente quiera aprender más, explorar y profundizar. Inspiran a la gente a "seguirte". Piensa en ello... "Hola, hago muchas cosas y posteo sobre lo que quiero, como cantar, bailar y los horóscopos, ¡espero que te guste!". ¿Quieres mejorar tu línea biográfica? He escrito sobre los titulares varias veces, porque son increíblemente importantes. Imagínate con cuántos titulares son bombardeados tus espectadores al día. Imagina lo exigentes que son a la hora de hacer clic en ellos. Imagina que tus titulares están compitiendo con todos los demás titulares en su feed, incluidos los de los principales medios de comunicación como Buzzfeed, Mashable, etc. Esta es la realidad de las cosas. La mayoría de las decisiones de consumo de contenido dependen de los titulares que ven, y algunos editores dedican mucho tiempo y energía a sus titulares con el objetivo de obligar a los espectadores a hacer clic. ¿Hace usted lo mismo? Piensa en ello... "¡La gente debería unirse a Hive porque es bueno!" ¿Quieres mejorar tus titulares? Dicen que una imagen vale más que mil palabras, pero si tu miniatura es deficiente, bien podrían ser mil malas palabras sobre lo poco que merece la pena leer tu contenido. En cambio, una buena miniatura dice mucho a los espectadores sobre la calidad del contenido. Les convence de que si hacen clic, el artículo merecerá su tiempo. Puede parecer injusto que la gente juzgue tu escritura basándose en una foto bonita, pero eso es casi lo único que tienen para seguir. Todavía no pueden leer tu escrito. Todavía no están comparando tu escritura (además de tu titular, por lo general), y por lo tanto la única otra pieza de datos que tienen para decidir sobre tu post es la miniatura. Hazles la vida más fácil y haz que tu contenido sea más convincente para ellos. Tómate el tiempo necesario para crear una buena imagen en miniatura. Piensa en ello... ¿Quieres mejorar tus miniaturas? ¡Uf! Ahí lo tenemos. Estas 5 cosas son por las que los espectadores juzgan constantemente tu contenido. Te comparan con la "competencia" (todo su feed, en todas partes). Comparan tus 5 elementos con los de todos los demás a los que siguen. Así que es importante ser honesto contigo mismo... ¿Has puesto suficiente amor en ellos? ¿Has mejorado tus habilidades de titular y de imagen? Si es así, ¿cuánto? ¿Suficiente? ¿Te atreves a cambiar tu nombre de usuario? ¿O al menos dedicar una o dos horas a una línea de biografía? Después de todo, es algo que está en la cara de todos los seguidores potenciales, con bastante frecuencia, podría valer la pena invertir algo de energía, ¿no? De todos modos, si quieres conseguir votos, curación, seguidores, etc... tienes un trabajo: "ganarte el juicio de la gente". Y tienes las mismas pocas herramientas que tienen todos los demás en las redes sociales para lograrlo. A continuación, he resumido 5 de las más importantes, con el objetivo de ayudarte a entender mejor cuáles son y cómo afectan a tus espectadores. Podría "guardarme todos estos secretos" para mí, pero sólo quiero que más personas en Hive tengan éxito. Me preocupo por ti y quiero que ganes. Así que espero que esto tenga sentido y te dé ideas sobre cómo crecer en Hive. P.D. Un agradecimiento especial a @yenmendt , @aguilaazul7777 , @soychalbed , @irvinc , @makeup.byidy , @zullyscott , y a todos los que hicieron grandes preguntas en nuestra entrevista en discordia. Lo siento si me perdí, fue un chat muy activo y no hablo español, lol. Estuve a punto de guardar este post sólo para Gabriela en mi grupo privado de mastermind, pero como mucha gente preguntaba sobre el contenido exitoso de Hive en la entrevista, lo amplié y lo convertí en este post. Gracias por inspirar esto, lo aprecio mucho.

Agreed on all that you say, however, there is another aspect on Hive, especially early on, and that is whether it's posted at a time when a curator sees it to then get it a vote from the big curators. Your post that got missed could well have just been bad timing and got to far dorm the feeds of your followers and missed. Once you have established yourself and gotten enough accounts who've decided they want to autovote you, this becomes less of an issue, earnings wise. How may of them actually read the post is another thing entirely.
That said, even if you aren't getting the attention and votes you hope for to start with, this is certainly the best approach, just don't give up.
Thanks for this, @minismallholding ! You raise an excellent point about post-timings. That can definitely play a role. Hopefully if a person makes enough posts, eventually they catch the right timing, lol.
And you raise another great point about people actually 'reading' our posts, rather than auto-voting. I do my best to write clearly and well, so readers have an easy time understanding my intentions, but I've definitely noticed many people voting/commenting on my posts while only skimming them, or even not reading them at all. :) It's good to be aware of this, and I believe it makes my tips even more important. If people are only reading the title/thumbnail and not reading the article, then these two elements become 'extra important' in that case, right?
I also love your conclusion here... "just don't give up." That's pretty solid advice in any endeavor we pursue, I'd say. Thanks for this excellent comment, wishing you a great day! 🙏
Absolutely. This way you are more likely to actually attract people in to read who do see it.
I was also going to add, but was being rushed, that for the early days on Hive when you're trying to get seen, if you're posting regularly (once a day for example) you aren't going to get big votes from the curation projects on every single post, because they are trying to spread votes across lots of different accounts. So, with ocd for example, if you've already had three votes that week you won't get any more. These projects don't want to be seen showing favouritism, after all. 😉
Totally agreed.
And very interesting point regarding curation projects, and I understand. That said, I care little for 'appearances' and would prefer people curate on 'merit' or 'value' alone, but I get that many people would rather not be seen showing favoritism.
Great addition to the discussion, definitely something to be aware of, especially for early-days, thanks again! 🙏

Wow! WoW! @ryzeonline Esto es un excelente regalo desde lo más profundo de mi corazón te envío toda mi gratitud no solo por esta hermosa y valiosa publicación, lo estaba necesitando, has sido inspiración para mí aún sin saber el hermoso brillo detrás de ese perfil con el que me topé en la plataforma a través del perfil de @cynshineonline quién es también un gran ser humano y talentosa, se que al igual que para mí son fuente de inspiración para muchos usuarios de la colmena, gracias gracias gracias 💞 por responder mis preguntas, por ese grandioso programa, por compartir tu historia y tu luz con todos, por la bonita mención, por inspirarme, y estos consejos...

Aw, thank you very much @aguilaazul7777 !
I'm so glad you appreciate what I (and @cynshineonline) offer. I'm not sure it's humanly possible to answer 'everyone' but I do my best, and I'm very touched if I was able to inspire anyone in anyway.

Hey @juanpabloleon , thank you so much for this comment. I'm happy you found my post easy, brief, and profound and huge congratulations for applying some self-reflection. Looking forward to your upcoming changes and growing success. Hugs! 🙏
Excellent ✨ thank you very much to you for taking the time and helping us. When we got to Hive we felt a bit lost, in my case not for the ideas to publish but for the handling of the platform and how to reach the audience in question. Thanks for answering our doubts and for this post that really is very helpful, who would say that the details that do not lend much attention are the most relevant for the viewer❤️
P.S. Sorry if the English is not good, but I speak very little.
Gracias por este amable comentario. Hive puede ser un poco abrumador, pero hago todo lo posible para que sea un poco más comprensible. Me alegro de que hayas encontrado valor en este post. ¡Y estoy de acuerdo contigo!

Thank you for this kind comment! Hive can be a bit overwhelming but I do my best to make it a bit more understandable. I'm glad you found value in this post. And I agree with you!

Hi,
I think things need to stay in a "natural" setting.
Create a post and present photos and a story, an idea, serves to introduce yourself to others, to promote your idea, to surprise or intrigue and to share a work done as an author (a product, a drawing, a photo, a poem, a trip....)
But everything must (should) remain in a natural way, empathetic, between the author and the reader.
If a girl shows me her boobs to "grab" me to read her post, I won't read it. Why are you showing me your boobs (do you think I don't ask that question before, eventually, click your post)?
If an author studies all the possible ways to get the "greatest success", using all the strategies to "grab" the reader, I know that the content could be less important because after all there are all the strategies to attract my attention.
I can read once, I can interact.... but it won't last because I know that person produces posts with the strategy, just with the "deception".
Content is more important than strategies.
Each of us can evaluate for ourselves if a poem is badly written, if a story is badly written or if a photo is badly done. In part everything can be traced back to our feelings (what is beautiful to me may be ugly to another person)...but we don't need or want to be "attracted" with tricks in something.
I worked (and still work) in advertising....
This world is horrible.
Personally, I expect (I like) people to be natural when they communicate something, to be "real", and not the result of "deceptive" automatisms and comnuicative systems.
I upvoted a "0.003" and happy with that
:D
Have a nice day... :)
Ciao
Hi!
Everyone's entitled to their own preferences. If you like 'natural', great, I encourage it. I love boobs, but if you don't, more power to you.
As you said:
I totally agree. And what works for me may not work for another person.
If you want to ignore, skip, or avoid putting thought and care into the 5 elements I've outlined here, that's completely your freedom to do so.
If you believe spending an hour writing a headline is a 'trick', that's fine. :) To me, it's effort and care.
I encourage you to do whatever feels best to you and gets you the results you're aiming for in life, whatever those are. :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, wishing you a nice day as well! :) Ciao! 🙏
I love boobs too.
That wasn't the point.
I posted something recently in "Loving HIVE" community and no one, not even you, put an appreciation.
If I had spent 1 hour embellishing the title and text, you would not have appreciated my "effort" equally, simply because you don't care about what I posted.
Otherwise I could put up pictures of women with their boobs out. what do you think? :)
I think someone who gets less appreciation than they desire may benefit from reading more carefully and paying a lot more attention to someone who's crushing it on Hive. ;)
I think you are taking it personally...it is not my intention to personally attack anyone or you, who produce posts that I always enjoy reading....
anyway, thanks for your time/strategy/efforts.
I rarely take anything personally, it seems unlikely I'd start now. :) I simply answered your question:
I answered exactly what I think. I make a point of studying people who succeed at their craft, and I suggest others adopt a similar habit.
My blog here is brimming with value for people who'd like to increase the appreciation they receive here on Hive. That appeared to be something you desire, and so, I encourage deeper, more attentive study of the tips that have been offered.
I'm not sure how to be clearer. Either way, I appreciate all your comments and contributions to the discussion. Thank you for your time/efforts as well! :) Wishing you a wonderful weekend. 🙏
Perhaps you believe people don't care about what you're posting? Perhaps it was because you didn't believe in what you were posting? Beliefs, moods, and choices are everything.
You state that
But if you don't compel people to look at what you wrote with a captivating headline or thumbnail, then why should anyone click on the poem to even read it to find out if it's good or bad?
You get one second before the person is scrolling past your post and if your photo or headline doesn't captivate them then they will move onto the next one who will. It's not deception, it's just the way social media (Hive or centralized social media) works. Everyone here and on ALL socials is 'fighting' for attention for their content. If you don't make it appealing in that one second with the photo and title then people will just keep going by. It's just facts.
Maybe having a closer look at some of @ryzeonline's posts on censorship or content length or quality content or good hooks might be helpful. He posts it all to help people get more attention on their content. He has YEARS of experience doing this and knows what he's talking about. He has successful clients with 3 million subscribers on YouTube (and huge numbers on other centralized platforms too). Listening to his advice might help. But you're free to choose to do whatever feels best to you.
Either way...wishing you much joy and success.
❤️
Hi,
I am not hating on anyone or taking away from anyone's professionalism.
I've worked for 15 years and still work in advertising and help advertisers make graphic choices, in their best interest.
Each of us presumably has experience in the work we've been doing for years, but that doesn't imply that I should blindly accept anyone's talk.
We talk and exchange opinions (that's what a "social" is for, not for genuflecting and counting "likes").
I create things in graphics, things that may or may not be liked, but I do them primarily for my own satisfaction, not to chase the status of numbers.
If someone likes the graphics in a post, they'll show interest, otherwise not.
Here on Hive there is a community related to a 3D program (Blender). It's not very popular here, and I regret it... maybe it's time to be more present because in other social networks Blender attracts more visitors and engagement.
The graphics and images speak for themselves, probably there is less interest in general inside Hive for this type of creativity.
Other graphics-related communities are also under-attended here, as I can see. I think that's a shame.
Also 3Speak is an underutilized service and for the Hive ecosystem it is definitely very useful.
There are areas of communication where everything doesn't necessarily have to be based on text "effectiveness".
Wishing you much joy and success. Ciao.
Excellent post, Dr. B. These are things we've discussed many times and things You've taught me over the years. I've had a lot of success when I take care and put time into each of these elements that You mention. I would probably still be 1craftybeach if it wasn't for You lol.
I just talked to one of our clients about profile pics when pitching people. I said "I can tell how serious they are about their business and how much care they put into what they're doing based on their profile pic" And she asked me how...I told her "If there's a fuzzy pic or a fuzzy filtered pic, or worse...a random pic of something that isn't them...typically (not always) but usually, they're not putting a lot of focus on their profile, let alone their biz, their personal-dev, etc. and I'm not going to bother with them." People don't realize that others are paying close attention to these elements that help them decide if they're going to engage or not.
We've put into lots of love and focus on our bios, our headlines (I mean we've literally spent time picking apart a sentence or a headline just to make it compelling and persuasive) that a lot of people overlook.
I know I'm not clicking on half-assed headlines or fuzzy thumbnails, let alone liking it.
Thanks for using my pics (those are two of my faves) and for tagging me. I'm sure this post will be very helpful for those wanting to improve their visibility, engagement, and attention.
~love, Cyn
Excelente post, Dr. B. Estas son cosas que hemos discutido muchas veces y cosas que Usted me ha enseñado a lo largo de los años. He tenido mucho éxito cuando cuido y pongo tiempo en cada uno de estos elementos que Usted menciona. Probablemente seguiría siendo 1craftybeach si no fuera por Ti lol.
Acabo de hablar con uno de nuestros clientes acerca de las fotos de perfil cuando se lanza a la gente. Le dije: "Puedo decir lo serio que son acerca de su negocio y la cantidad de atención que ponen en lo que están haciendo sobre la base de su foto de perfil" Y ella me preguntó cómo ... Le dije: "Si hay una foto borrosa o una foto filtrada borrosa, o peor ... una foto al azar de algo que no son ellos ... por lo general (no siempre), pero por lo general, no están poniendo mucho énfasis en su perfil, por no hablar de su negocio, su personal-dev, etc ". La gente no se da cuenta de que los demás están prestando mucha atención a estos elementos que les ayudan a decidir si van a participar o no.
Hemos puesto mucho amor y enfoque en nuestras biografías, nuestros titulares (quiero decir que literalmente hemos pasado tiempo desmenuzando una frase o un titular sólo para hacerlo convincente y persuasivo) que mucha gente pasa por alto.
Sé que no voy a hacer clic en titulares de medio pelo o en miniaturas borrosas, y mucho menos me gusta.
Gracias por usar mis fotos (son dos de mis favoritas) y por etiquetarme. Estoy segura de que este post será muy útil para aquellos que quieran mejorar su visibilidad, compromiso y atención.
~Con amor, Cyn
Thank you for this, and I'm so glad you've evolved these five elements and more over time.
You raise a good point, and I believe it relates to the maxim:
"How one does the small things is how one does the big."
(ie: If someone puts little effort into their thumbnail, avatar, or headlines, it's fairly reasonable to conclude there won't be much effort in the rest of their content.
Is this always true? Perhaps, perhaps not. But the main thing is, this is how viewers are often making decisions on what to click.
My pleasure, thank you for contributing to the discussion! 🙏
great advice!
@tipu curate
Always appreciated :) 🙏
Damn, man @ryzeonline, you're such a Superstar that fell on our laps from nowhere! This shit is on fire, Em.
(grin) I'm honored you feel that way bro. And it's totally mutual. 😁🙏
Me atrapó el título y la foto de portada sobre todo los números en rojo, vincule una cosa y la otra. Excelentes consejos que voy a tomar en cuenta, aunque creo que no siempre funciona así, depende más de los lectores y lo que estén buscando según sus necesidades y criterios.
Saludos
Me alegro de que el título y la foto de portada te hayan llamado la atención, y de que hayas encontrado algún valor en los consejos. Siéntete libre de aplicarlos tanto o tan poco como quieras, según tus creencias. Saludos. 🙏
I'm glad the title and cover photo caught your attention, and that you found some value in the tips. Feel free to apply them as much or as little as you like, according to your beliefs. Regards! 🙏
P.S. @newbies-guide Perhaps this may be valuable to share with your audience? 🤔
Hi @ryzeonline first of all thanks for the mention I realize that I did not just go to listen, I was heard, these tips that you bring us to relusir in this post are really very efficient and perhaps for one reason or another we let them slip through our fingers.
I always need a bucket of cold water, it reminds me of the book "the 7 habits of highly effective people", from now on I put into practice and correct the mistakes in the profile and form the guidelines for the contents to come later.
Thank you for sharing and for being willing to help.
my greetings and respects, blessings.
My pleasure and thank you @soychalbed ! I'm glad you found some value in these things we all sometimes let slip through our fingers!
I really enjoyed "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People", and I can see the relevance here, for sure.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, kind comments, and contributing to the discussion! Greetings, respects, and blessings! 🙏
¡Un placer y gracias @soychalbed ! Me alegro de que hayas encontrado algún valor en estas cosas que a veces se nos escapan de las manos.
Me gustó mucho "Los 7 Hábitos de la Gente Altamente Efectiva", y puedo ver la relevancia aquí, sin duda.
Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos, tus amables comentarios y por contribuir a la discusión. ¡Saludos, respetos y bendiciones! 🙏
Excellent post, very good advice, thank you very much for it.
Thanks very much! And I'm so glad you commented! I was unable to find you and tag your username. I saw you asked some questions about singing, acting, art in the discord interview that I neglected to answer. I'd be happy to discuss it further if you wanted to ask again. Anyway, I appreciate the comment, and I'm glad you got some value from my article. Wishing you a great night! 🙏
Muchas gracias. ¡Y me alegro mucho de que hayas comentado! No pude encontrarte y etiquetar tu nombre de usuario. He visto que has hecho algunas preguntas sobre el canto, la actuación y el arte en la entrevista de discordia que no he contestado. Estaré encantada de discutirlo más a fondo si quieres volver a preguntar. De todos modos, te agradezco el comentario y me alegro de que hayas sacado algo de provecho de mi artículo. ¡Te deseo una gran noche! 🙏
Yes, I also regretted that my internet failed that day and I could not enjoy the program well, I did not know if you had managed to respond, this post caught my attention because it makes me see that I should change my profile picture to give a better view to my blog, very grateful. If you can, I would like you to give me some recommendations, since at the moment my thing is not writing but if I would like to start doing it again, but my material is more audiovisual. Thanks in advance. 😁
Muchísimas gracias por este gran post y por haber respondido nuestras preguntas, desde tu entrevista estoy en modo de instrospección, ya que deseo seguir haciendo lo que hago , pero deseo buscar una forma distinta de mostrarlo, me gusta escribir Poesía, cantar, pintar y escribir reflexiones, básicamente mi blog es muy variado, pero muchas veces he recibido comentarios de que por ejemplo un poema no es un contenido de calidad, no puedes escribir un poema de 5000 palabras, jajaja , o si, lo cierto que llevo ya casi 4 años en la blockchain y esto de escribir "contenido de calidad" a sido muy tortuoso para mí porque considero que el arte es muy subjetivo. Ahora bien, leer tus post me están ayudando a revisarme como creadora y ver de qué manera puedo persuadir a más personas a leerme. Un abrazo gigante para ustedes desde Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Es un placer, hago lo mejor que puedo. Me alegro de que te tomes un tiempo de introspección. Es posible tener éxito con la variedad, sólo hay que tener en cuenta que hay un equilibrio entre la variedad y la consistencia o la variedad y el enfoque. :)
Los poemas son sin duda un contenido de calidad, sólo hay que preguntar a Pablo Neruda, al Dr. Seuss o a Rumi. Todos ellos triunfaron de forma extraordinaria a través de los poemas. De hecho, uno de mis poemas fue leído en voz alta durante mi entrevista en la ruta :)
El arte es subjetivo, sí. Tiene razón. Al mismo tiempo... la "respuesta" de un público no es subjetiva. La respuesta deseada existe o no existe. Un comediante obtiene risas de su público o no las obtiene. Un cantante o consigue los aplausos de su público, o no los consigue. Un autor obtiene ventas de su libro, o no. Un chef consigue sonrisas de sus comensales, o no. Así que animo a la gente a que analice de forma objetiva si está obteniendo la respuesta que pretende o no.
Me alegro mucho de que seas capaz de revisarte a ti mismo como creador y de que te propongas convencer a más gente de que lea tus cosas. El mundo necesita más gente como tú que esté dispuesta a ser introspectiva, a mirarse realmente a sí misma y a introducir mejoras en su persona, en sus creaciones y en sus presentaciones.
¡Un abrazo gigante para ti desde Toronto, Canadá! 🙏
My pleasure, I do the best I can. I'm glad you're taking some time for introspection. It's possible to succeed with variety, just keep in mind there is a balance between variety & consistency or variety & focus. :)
Poems are definitely quality content, just ask Pablo Neruda or Dr. Seuss or Rumi. All of them succeeded extremely well through poems. In fact, one of my poems was read aloud during my ruta interview. :)
Art is subjective, yes. You are correct. At the same time... the 'response' of an audience is not subjective. A desired response either exists, or it doesn't. A comedian either gets laughs from his audience or he doesn't. A singer either gets applause from her audience, or she doesn't. An author either gets sales from his book, or he doesn't. A chef either gets smiles from her diners, or she doesn't. So I encourage people to take an objective look at whether they're getting the response they're aiming for or not.
I'm so glad you're able to review yourself as a creator and aim to persuade more people to read your stuff. The world needs more people like you who are willing to be introspective, really look at themselves, and make improvements to themselves, their creations, and their presentations.
A giant hug to you from Toronto, Canada! 🙏
One thing I know for I know I have to get better for sure is taking better pictures. About time I get on it then onto see what else can be better improved on.
Cheers for the informative read.
I love when people are able to see and acknowledge a spot that could use improvement, then apply themselves to it. It always brings positive results, in my experience, so kudos to you for your approach. Thank you for the kind comment, wishing you lots of success! 🙏
Este es el tipo de publicación que me gusta, la que genera alegría interna porque uno se siente como que encontró algo que buscaba desesperadamente. Justo hace un mes estaba tratando de mejorar mi perfil en estos aspectos y has traído aquí buenas páginas para guiarse con respecto a los aspectos que mencionas.
Yo estuve en ese estupendo programa de @rutablockchain donde conversamos contigo y desde allí me he dado a la tarea de estudiar Hive a través de tu blog.
Sinceramente, gracias. Entiendo que es subjetivo la apreciación de las ballenas para votar, pero sé que estos consejos ayudan.
Salud para ti.
Me alegro mucho de que te haya alegrado mi publicación. ¡Y me alegro de que te preocupes lo suficiente como para mejorar tu perfil! (Mucha gente no se molesta, lol.) Disfruté mucho de mi primera entrevista bilingüe y te agradezco que estés ahí. Escribí sobre la subjetividad en mi respuesta a @zullyscott más arriba, pero me alegra que sepas que estos consejos ayudan :) ¡Saludos a ti y te deseo un gran día! 🙏
I'm so glad you got some joy from my publication! And I'm happy that you care enough to improve your profile! (Many people won't bother, lol.) I really enjoyed my first bilingual interview and I appreciate you being there. I wrote about subjectivity in my reply to zullyscott above, but I'm glad you know these tips help. :) Cheers to you and wishing you a great day! 🙏

Hola @lunasilver73 , este es otro post de 'Hive Success' en español que puede ser valioso para ti.
Hey @lunasilver73 , this is another 'Hive Success' post in Spanish that may be valuable to you.
I am thankful to have come across this content, as it is my first day here. Your pieces of advice are noted well, Sir. :)
I'm so glad you found some value in it. First day? Then you may also benefit from my Hive Beginner's Guide w/ Fun Doodles if you've not seen it yet. Either way, wishing you lots of success on Hive! 🙏
Oh, really! Thank you so much! I have just posted my introduction post (if you are just interested to read it hehe), and I definitely checking this one you recommended! Thanks a lot! You are the very first one to welcome me here, aside from Zelly. ❤️
My pleasure, and sure, happy to welcome you to Hive, and to check out your post. 🙏
Yo estaba lamentando haberme perdido la entrevista...
Pero al leer este informarme, aprecio que hallas dejado el contenido en este post. Ya entendí tu sugerencia amigo @ryzeonline. En estos momentos me siento como un turista con un excelente guía en HIVE. Estoy sumamente agradecida por haberte tomado el tiempo de compartir tan valioso tesoro. 2 de los 5 puntos aprendidio lo he hecho bien.
Muchas gracias.
Me alegro mucho de que esto te haya informado, y creo que has visto la entrevista grabada, de todos modos :)
Hago todo lo posible por ser una guía útil para los demás, así que me alegro de que lo aprecies.
Te deseo que tengas éxito con los 5 puntos, o los que elijas. ;)
¡Gracias a ti también! 🙏
I'm so glad this informed you, and I believe you saw the recorded interview, anyway? :)
I do my best to be a helpful guide to others, so I'm glad you appreciate it.
Wishing you success with all 5 points, or whichever ones you choose. ;)
Thank you too! 🙏
Of course, from today I will be very attentive to the 5 points that you have recommended to me. Nice to meet a YodaHive on my way.
Greetings my friend, @ryzeonline. May the force be with you!!!!
Por supuesto, a partir de hoy estaré muy atenta a los 5 puntos que me habéis recomendado. Encantada de conocer a un YodaHive en mi camino.
Saludos mi amigo, @ryzeonline. ¡¡¡¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!!!!
¡Maravilloso! Y me siento honrado de que me llamen YodaHive , lol, ¡gracias! :) ¡Saludos y que la fuerza te acompañe también! 🙏
Wonderful! And I'm honored to be called a YodaHive , lol, thank you! :) Greetings and may the force be with you too! 🙏
Sometimes all these tips fail when every whale and curator has his own beautiful white list? His group of friends and acquaintances. Unfortunately, this is my opinion. (I think I said too much🤫)
These tips don't 'guarantee earnings' the same way picking up a basketball and heading to the gym for practice doesn't 'guarantee winning basketball games', true... but if we want success in either area, they're tips worth applying. But everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I encourage you to do whatever feels best to you. Thanks so much for commenting! 🙏
Hi, I'm stalking your posts (🤭) I came across this very interesting post, especially for those of us who are new to Hive. I completely agree on the 5 details you described, in fact this is part or fundamental to create a personal brand. For my part, I think I'm going slow, I don't get many followers, I'm believing it's because of my little interaction, however I also feel that my publications have been successful (in the relativity of success) hahaha. In my particular case I think it would be good to define a graphic identity and support me in a good content plan (since I usually talk about many things) to maintain some consistency in the communities that interest me. Also, I'm still in the process of thoroughly understanding the hive blockchain, so maybe that will help me a lot, when I have all the knowledge in my mind! Although I know more about conventional social networks, I think that here you also need a bit of luck, or a good understanding of how to get the attention of great curators (?)
I appreciate your content!
Hola! Estoy stalkeando tus publicaciones (🤭) Di con este post bastante interesante, sobre todo para quienes iniciamos en Hive. Estoy complemente de acuerdo en los 5 detalles que describiste, de hecho esto es parte o es fundamental para crear una marca personal. Por mi parte, creo que voy lento, no obtengo muchos seguidores, estoy creyendo que es por mi poca interacción, sin embargo también siento que mis publicaciones han tenido éxito (en la relatividad del exito) jajaja. En mi caso particular creo que estaría bien que definiera una identidad grafica y apoyarme en un buen plan de contenido (ya que suelo hablar de muchas cosas) para mantener cierta constancia en las comunidades que me interesan. Además, aun estoy en proceso de entender a fondo la blockchain de hive, así que quizá eso me ayude bastante, cuando tenga todo el conocimiento en mi mente! Aunque se mas de redes sociales convencionales, creo que acá también se necesita un poco de suerte, o entender bien como llamar la atención de grandes curadores (?)
Aprecio tu contenido!
I'm honored you're stalking my posts, thank you. A lot of my content is aimed at new hivers because technically, I am one too, lol. :) You're right, these are all parts of a personal brand, and good for you for assessing your self and your progress and feeling successful so far. Yes, supporting a consistent, focused content plan or niche is very wise. (I should probably do more of that myself, lol.) My articles on blockchain basics as well as blockchain terminiology may help further your understanding, if you're interested, and I've also written about how to get attention on our writing here and here. I appreciate your comments! 🙏

Thank you very much, I will be reading them little by little, the truth is that it brings me a lot and I am trying to follow/connect with really valuable content. This is a magical place that I must know how to take advantage of 🤭.
¡Muchísimas gracias, los iré leyendo de a poco, la verdad me aporta muchísimo y estoy tratando se seguir/conectar con contenido realmente valioso. Este es un lugar mágico que debo saber aprovechar 🤭
My pleasure, and I'm glad you find the content valuable, and I'm happy you take advantage of it. #KeepRyzing ! 🙏
Hey! This is great!
I haven't revamped my profile EVER. Totally forgot about it, lol.
(...asks himself why?)
It's a weird thing. I work to see a client's value in the real world and I can come up with a million ways to sell it - but when it comes to marketing myself or niching down - I have a hard time.
That's something I'm working on with my business too. So, we'll see how far I make it with all this in the next year. Thanks for the reminder about doing it on Hive!
P.S. When I work with a client on an email project, one of the first things I try to find out is their what their sender name and avatar look like, as well as if we can add a personal email signature (if there isn't one). These simple things can massively increase open & response rates... so why wouldn't I do it on my Hive profile!
(Weird... weird... weird...)
HAHA...
I'm glad you found value in the post. And it's all good, lots of mechanics neglect their own car. Lots of doctors neglect their own health. It's not ideal, but it is common. And as long as you're aware and actively working on it the best ways you know how, I'd say you're on the right track.
I'm glad you do those things for your client, they can be game-changers, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your own materials too! #KeepRyzing ! 🙏
