I use a bunch of hashes instead of TK. It stands out on the page and generally signifies a null value. I write my best pieces on a niche, Freemasonry. I cannot believe how many Brothers I have found here on Steemit! I was documenting my year as Worshipful Master until I realized how many of these gentlemen have already served in that capacity. I keep writing about the leadership, but now I have started incorporating how craft observances vary. I am learning a bit too!

I just skip the word or make a short but specific note of what needs to go there, I want to keep as close to the original idea as possible. I could definitely shave off some time if I use TK however. It's great to see so many people that share the same interests. I like to view Steemit as a digital library, anything we could want to know, learn, and build upon is posted somewhere on this site.

Kudos to you @pastbastard! Expanding topics based on what you have been learning is the best. It's not knowledge, unless you can apply it :D

I have yet to share the fact that I fly airplanes. Shhhh...-🕵🕵🕵

lmao looks like the secret is out!~ xDD

awesome! Neil Strauss is totally an interesting character. I'm glad to get some tips directly from him on how to be a good writer! Thanks @shello, I'll be coming back to this blog and watching the video multiple times to make sure I got all the good stuff.

I agree! I actually didn't know who he was prior to writing about his presentation, he is a cool cat for sure. I really liked that these aren't the same tips I read all over Steemit, but instead some real advice about being an author, our expectations, and what we can expect to see. A lot of what he says here takes a long time to learn on your own. New Steemians can get a jump start and build momentum from his words.

There is a lot of things covered in his video that are useful. All of it actually! Have fun watching c:

This. Post. Is. Amazing. Spot on. I have tried writing for the whales that supported me only to have them fall flat, only to write something totally different that I am passionate about and watch them come back in droves. Excellent advice that every Steemian, new and old should see. Well done, @shello! Resteeming, which I rarely do!

Thanks for the love mama!

I don't think there is a minnow who isn't guilty of it at one point or another. Always write for you and nobody else, that way you always win! hahah, I hope a lot of new Steemians get to see this post :D

<3 <3 <3 thank you for the resteem btw!

You're so welcome. It's such good advice!

Awesome. Not to try to get you to listen to your audience :), but please do more posts like this! Extremely helpful, and I’m just not that into watching videos.

Thank you for the feedback @cstrimel!

Hahaha, the love is definitely real. I do posts on positivity and motivation every so often- so there will be more at some point. I also prefer reading over watching, but this was a fantastic video! c:

I have read quite some advices "how to" on Steemit. This one is clearly the best of them. When I write my posts I can have the impression that much more people are far more interested in money here on Steemit than they are in air around them. Nevertheless, I'll just proceed and I won't let myself get disturbed.

Hey thanks @irastra,

I don't know about the best but I would like to believe that it's up there somewhere. It doesn't matter why everyone else is here- Think about why YOU are here above anything else. Mhmm, stick to it c:

Super advice. I started writing to "beat algorithms" instead of to be myself or to inspire people. Steemit is starting to allow me to find my voice again, so grateful for that!

You could "beat the algorithms", but it would take far more work than putting forth an honest effort. You got this @adammillwardart, make your voice heard!~

this is so helpful and informative. Thank you. This has help me to regroup and focus my efforts. I am new to it all and I am struggling to get my footing in the steemit world. So thank you for helping me. I hope you have and Amazing day.

Thanks for share us. Yes, you are totally right. This is my long term goal on steem.

Thank you really, thats a good article for me atleast as a new member

Welcome to Steemit @afrin12,

Thank you this is great. Neil Strauss is a genius.Thanks for sharing this great knowledge.

This is some pretty awesome analysis on this. i had to head over to youtube to get the video for myself.

Open Loops > Click-Bait

I particularly liked this one...

Glad to hear that this write-up made you want to watch the original video! c:

What was your favorite part @jo5h?

votes do not equal value

It was really discouraging when i didn't get up 10 upvotes on my introductory post.... Didnt feel like i was interesting enough to write... But i understand value of a writeup

Weldone bro... glad you could take home a few tips... here's the thing; you're new, expect more low payouts in the meantime. suck yeah? but that's how things go here... you'll find your feet eventually... yup, you will.
