Do Yourself A Favor And Engage For Growth
Engagement Is Key
Most of us are fully aware of the amazing power that lies within engagement. It stands for a healthy, engaging and active community and it's one of the first things a new visitor will notice when they look at the possibility they have before their eyes. Content creators doesn't only want content consumers and people interacting with their content, they also need these things to grow an audience. Without a healthy and active community, most content creators will look elsewhere for a place to share their creations.
A creator on YouTube for instance, doesn't produce and share content without a decent chance of growth, but everyone knows that each creator has to start somewhere. You start with nothing and you have to be consistent, build and grow over time. The same goes for Hive, LeoFinance and all other communities as well. You have to start somewhere, and you are likely to start from zero. Only persistence, patience and hard work will allow you to tip things into your favor.
New visitors, content creators- or consumers are fully aware of that as well, but if they are looking for a good example of an author and what they can expect from this platform, comments plays a vital role when it comes to their decision making. Truth to be told, I personally think that money is the most vital thing, because people look for ways to generate extra income, so it's important to greet and welcome newcomers properly. However, I am sure that the majority of content creators understand that money doesn't come easy. They understand that they need to build an audience over time, and that their following is what will make them successful influencers, so comments are extremely important to showcase an active community as that can be seen as a 'pool of potential followers' for content creators.
While the engagement is already awesome on LeoFinance, judging by the weekly reports, we can't rely on only a few extremely active and engaging users to push our engagement level to the next level. With the top 3 within the leaderboards for most comments on a weekly basis are producing almost identical or more comments than the rest of the people in the list combined, we are literally blessed for all their hard work and the time they put in, but we cannot continue to rely on those people to produce these amazing numbers. We need to step up our game, if- and whenever we can. Not only for others, but for ourselves as well. Engagement is needed to showcase a healthy platform and even though I have personally been placed within the leaderboards during my first three weeks on LeoFinance, my personal numbers went down the drain due to my limited time and hectic work schedule.
All of us have other things to do in life and not everyone can spend hours upon hours making comments on LeoFinance, but I am sure that all of us can do something more than what we are already doing.
I for one, who have very limited time have decided to do things a bit different, and my goal is to make an average of 10 comments per day. That equates to 70 comments per week. This might lead to me making comments on "older" content some days, but it will lead to an overall increase in terms of engagement.
That being said, I will first and foremost focus on my own articles I produce, because truth is that I truly believe that my audience are my most vital asset. That doesn't mean that I won't be going outside of my own blog though, because that is also a very important factor for brand building and personal growth.
I promise you that there is a combination of creating good content & making comments to be rewarded for your contributions. Just look at the weekly reports and compare that with the authors who are rewarded the most. You will find many of the users within the leaderboards for most comments in the leaderboards for top authors, and that should give you a very clear idea of how important comments are for growth in general.
If you are able to make 5 comments per day, try to up your game and make 6 comments from today. If you are able to make 10 comments, try to squeeze out an extra one. Each comment you make will make a huge difference and have a massive impact in the long haul.
