Recently, however, I noticed one of these users making the same mistake I made when I first joined. I wanted to make a quick post to help new Steemians have a successful launch on the platform!</h3> <h3><br></h3> <h3>What was my big mistake?</h3> <h3>Tagging</h3> <h3>When I first joined the platform I wondered why I was not getting any views or upvotes. It took me awhile to realize it was because I was tagging posts incorrectly. I would use one or two tags I made up that I thought were relevant. This is <strong>not </strong>the best way to tag posts. Hopefully this post helps new Steemians avoid my mistakes.</h3> <h3>Here are the tagging guidelines from the Steemit quick start guide...</h3> <h1><strong>Tags</strong></h1> <h3>Tags will help people find your posts.</h3> <h3>Each post can have up to five tags, separated by spaces.</h3> <h3>The first tag in the list will be the main category that the post is in.</h3> <h3>The tags should all be relevant to the content in the post.</h3> <h3>You can browse content by tags, as well as see a list of popular tags that other users have used in their posts <a href="https://steemit.com/tags">here</a>. </h3> <h3> </h3> <h1><strong>Example: The Wrong Way</strong></h1> <h3>https://steemit.com/introduction/@swenger/introducing </h3> <h3>Check out this introduction post from @swenger</h3> <p><img src="https://s22.postimg.org/soc94qlm9/Screenshot1.png" width="1280" height="461"/></p> <h3>He tags his post with one tag "introduction" and his post only got 8 views</h3> <p><img src="https://s23.postimg.org/fzh3nvevv/Screenshot.png" width="1120" height="180"/></p> <h3>So how could he have tagged this post better?</h3> <h3>First of all he should have used the #introduceyourself</h3> <h3>Introduce yourself is number 5 on the Steemit "To Do List" and is recommended tag for new user introductions.</h3> <p><img src="https://s29.postimg.org/7ad84yp5j/Screenshot3.png" width="1075" height="489"/></p> <p><br></p> <h3>Steemit is still growing and because of this it is best to use already established tags where people are likely to look mixed in with your own.</h3> <h3>He would also have been better off if he used the maximum number of tags to connect with users of similar interests.</h3> <h3>Swing by and give @swenger an upvote :)</h3> <p><br></p> <h1>Example: The Right Way</h1> <h3>Check out this post from @planetmindbody</h3> <p><img src="https://s13.postimg.org/bzbm0xi5z/image.png" width="1190" height="143"/></p> <h3>Let's see how he uses tags...</h3> <p><img src="https://s2.postimg.org/fzctjalxl/image.png" width="1113" height="183"/></p> <h3>First off, he uses the maximum number of tags (5).</h3> <h3>Second, he uses the correct #introduceyourself tag and places it first, making it the main category for the post.</h3> <h3>Third, he uses a mix of well established tags like #introduceyourself and Bitcoin.</h3> <h3>Lastly, all of his tags are relevant to his post and will help him connect with users who share his interests.</h3> <p><img src="https://s3.postimg.org/mcw9dk6gz/steem.jpg" width="341" height="339"/></p> <h1>Conclusion</h1> <h3>Remember, when tagging posts to use the following guidelines for the best result...</h3> <h3>Tagging has a big impact on the success of your posts so take the time to do it right</h3> <h3>Use the maximum number of tags</h3> <h3>Use a mixture of well established tags and your own</h3> <h3>Make sure all of your tags are relevant to your post</h3> <h3>The first tag will be the main category of your post</h3> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <h3>I hope this will help you make the most of your posts!</h3> <h3>Swing by and give @swenger and @planetmindbody an upvote</h3> <h3>You might also find this <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@digicrypt/the-3-reasons-you-should-set-goals-for-your-steemit-blog">post</a> helpful</h3> <h3>Now get out there and Steem!</h3> <p><br></p> <p> </p> <h3>If you want more Steemit tips and crypto news follow my blog <a href="https://steemit.com/@digicrypt">@digicrypt</a>.</h3> <h3>DASH: XgQ9NBonMoCPKhF37agY4W8zk7gwQFnwGV</h3> <h3>Litecoin: LfqygtBxy3AJgEpTnTMUYGEoTYEcED8YPZ</h3> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s24.postimg.org/t8hyzl411/Digicrypt_Logo.jpg" width="581" height="216"/></p> </html>
