A BOX OF CHOCOLATES
Last week I was asked in chat how I manage to do two posts every day. It is a good question and one that it quite easy to answer. I made the decision to increase my workload on here whilst the platform is quiet and the value of Steem is down in order to grow.
The posts that are being rewarded now as you know are being paid in Steem and SP and that wasn't the case a month or two ago. I was growing then but not at the rate I have been lately. Firstly when the platform is quiet you have a better chance of being noticed so getting your posts out there is key.
What and where do I find enough material to write on was what I was asked. I find that I have no idea what I will write about next ,but things just happen. I try and mix things up in order to not bore my followers. There may be something about Steemit in the morning and something personal, maybe a memory or an event in the evening. memories I try and spread out as there are only so many. I also like to uncover the truth behind things so if there is something happening politically I try and find who is benefiting from the decisions that are being made. I have learnt that you won't be far wrong on the angle if you look from another view point. African politics is easy for me to read as I know how they think and where others see it as red I see it as blue.
My biggest problem is I normally jump in with both feet and don't care. I will write about racism or any touchy subject, there is nothing taboo or off limits. I have seen both sides of the coin having lived under a white and a black government. To be honest they are as bad as each other with no middle ground. This is being real and if something needs to be said then it should as you are not being true to your self by keeping quiet.
I was happy being asked this question as it has helped me write a post and god knows what is coming next. Normally reading other posts on here have a minefield of information. The comments section of a post also helps as it gives you a different perspective and added with your thoughts takes a post in a different direction from what you just read.
I don't think I will do 3 posts a day but who knows, 2 is challenging enough anyway and takes time. Growth is the most important thing right now and I hope this has helped in some part and given you some ideas.
Happy Steeming and power up.
It’s been recommended by me by one of the witness’s on discord to write two at the most. Because your followers only have so much votingpower that 3 is too much. It’s like the shops opening Sunday. You have the same amount of money to spend so the stores don’t make more. It’s just spreads out the income over the 7 days instead of 6. So 2 posts may end up making the same if not more than 3 posts and you soon run out of things to write . It was a fair comment from him and an entirely different way of looking at it.

My head is full of so much stuff posts just pop out of thin air. I had thought of that already and have stopped at 2 but if we get bigger then 3 will appear maybe.I honestly don't have the time and popping 3 posts out of my head is not a challenge I want to face everyday.
yep, the more you write, the more you will write I have found so be careful. 2 might become three and three maybe four ;)
There is s much interesting going on in the world and i think that the trouble many may have is they are looking for something extraordinary. There is much more extraordinary in the ordinary than people tend to realise if we explore a little deeper.
Hi Taraz. You speak from experience and I am comfortable with 2 and would only do 3 if I had enough time on my hands. Luckily tomorrow I am on my own so maybe I can get ahead on some posts to create time for later in the week. I enjoy looking into things and exploring so who knows what directions and where you will end up. It's a bit like your rabbit holes as there are just so many possibilities.
More post each day its pretty easy for a native english authors.
When i made my posts, its a quick idea, a little digging about the main questions, half or one hour to write in hungarian, and THEN more hour to translate with dictionary, and yes, still not perfect grammar. Every posts are different a little, but i need two hour, in average.
The stemmhunt posts aren't so hard, there's a 1000 character limit :D
I had never thought of that and makes perfect sense. If I had to translate into another language that would take ages. If you are not sure don't stress I will use google translate on your replies. You are doing incredibly well anyway so I am sure you don't need to do it. I wish I was as good as you with languages.
Lol :D I dont use program for translate, computer translation doesnt work in hungarian language. The experts says, the two most complex languages are the hungarian and the chinese, but maybe the hun is the harder :D
I'm literally use dictionary, and grammar manual. I can do it fast :D
Then you are better than I thought lol. One of these days you will put the dictionary away and be better than me.
I used to do two poetry's and one life experience or something new I just learnt, making 3 posts per day, by the time I realised lately through one of these tools, I found out that ive made over 400 posts this year minus the comments. I'm really wowed actually.
Right now I know my frequency has reduced, but im still in the game, I know this. And its true what the what you said about the comments,they really help inspire for a post.
Comments make a post. I think that if you get no comments then no one read it. That is heart breaking and doesn't matter if it made 5 c or $5 without a comment it is not as sweet.

I can barely cope with one. Am trying to do two but not been easy at all
It is not easy and it takes time to get into the swing of things. try it and you may surprise yourself. It does really help with growth and becomes second nature after a while.
