RE: The One Thing Every Steemian & DTuber Should be Doing To Their Readers/Viewers - REPLY! Discovering the "Replies" Button is Gold

in #steemit6 years ago

Replying is great advice but as a new Steemian (me) how do I go about getting comments in the first place? I'm starting to believe bribery is required hehe.

Sort:  

Well my advise is the following: Ask yourself "Why does one comment in the first place on steemit?" and then react according to that.
People on steemit comment to:
1.) Make money from their comment's upvotes (so they comment on whale's videos where there are people to vote their comment)
OR
2.) Answer a question you asked.
OR
3.) Ask you a question when they think you can teach them something.
OR
4.) To form relationships on the platform.
OR
5.) To troll

Ideas:
Well you don't want 5.).
Also Number 1.) seems not possible for a minnow except you attract them on the money thing maybe by buying a few Steem/SBD and making a contest/challenge. This WILL get you replies on the content video, but also many will start commenting your other videos and subscribe because they don't want to miss your contests.
2.) Is the first you should try. Ask people things, but not ONLY in the video like "What Altcoints do you prefer and why?, please tell me in te comments", make a whole video out of it with the question bein in the title and thumbnail already, so people even click your video to comment in the first place. So instead of making a video "My favorite Altcoins" and asking people within the Video, make a Video What are your favorite Altcoins an tell the in the Video which ones are yours.
3.) Simply be good on your topic, show people you are professional and experienced (present facts) on your topic.
4.)Is something everyone wants, and the most powerful point. So if you did 1.) 2.) or 3.) always reply AND upvote to comments as much as you can. Try to save upvote power to reward comments. Nothing will bring you more comments and bring you back the people who once commented, than actually showing and rewarding people for doing the work to write real comments. No matter how small the reward and your SP is, as long as it is not 0. If I get rewarded i feel like it mattered to you and it is worth to comment again.

Why you gotta be a genius like that? How can we keep up with you!

Upvoted for such an insightful post

@dnews Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear you agree on the ideas.

Your insights are killer, baby.

Thank you for the reply. I'll take the information on board.

I like this post it breaks it all down, some people are obvious follows and others not so clear, I think I'll read your reply again just for that reason.

Hey there! hahaha! You know a lot of people resort to bribery. I see a lot of people sending whales and such steem or SBD's to get replies, but honestly - I don't see it working. You can start by doing what you just did! By commenting on post that you enjoy :) then you can engage as well as creating your own post. You're on the right track!

Because you're on the right track and asked a great question - you get my upvote!

I sincerely hope SteemIt doesn't become a botpocolypse or vote trading platform. I have such high hopes that the community can work together to avoid such a death spiral.

And thank you for the upvote and reply, it's very much appreciated. Have a great day.

Yeah. A lot of bots are coming on the platform. I think it's okay to come on here to try and make some $$$ - as long as you also contribute. I guess some people see bots as a way of contributing to the community, but I love the actual human engagement and the exchange of ideas :)

Hope to hear from you again!!! Here's another upvote for you.

I'll definitely be back again, thank you for the replies.

Can’t wait to develop our friendship!!!!!! This is SO cool :)

As long as we continually form relationships, the Bots will have difficulty taking over smiles

Hahaha! I like how you put that. Good call my brother

Well I have some feelings about Bots especially since I encountered cheetah in my early days and thought what a nice bot to keep up voting me until it was soon followed buy steamcleaners and a flag much to my chagrin 🎯🔫🔔

Hahaha!!! I think we all experienced cheetah when we first came here. What a brilliant invention.

I think for my next comment I'll scour the landscape of your other posts ☺️ thanks again for the inspiration
