I knew a lot of these, but fail to incorporate a lot of it too. A few tips I still do, some I remember doing when I was self publishing via Kindle, Nook etc.
For editing (many self publishers can't afford an editor and don't have great mechanics, myself included), a best practice is to write the post first using something like Word or Libre. Use the read text (you will need an extension with Libre) to have it read your post to you. Often, we can hear grammatical errors our eyes miss.
When copying over to where you insert your writing onto Hive, don't do it all at once. What may appear to not be a long paragraph could look like one on your blog. Keep an eye for how long it looks as you copy/paste it, and if it looks to long look for the best place you can separate it into two paragraphs with each being relevant.
On tagging others. I generally don't tag when I reference others here on Hive. I see this done a lot as a passive/aggressive way of trying to gain high stake voters. In many cases, the result will be either they ignore you or worse, being inundated with folks trying ot gain their attention, can irritate them. Either case, it probably does more harm than good, unless you regularly interact with these folks or actually have material they WOULD be interested in and you don't wish to spam their posts.
If you are going to try to bring outsiders to your posts via other platforms such as Twitter, you best be prepared to answer some questions such as: How can they join, How can they acquire tokens, How it's different than other social media in regards to posting others work, etc. Much of what gets posted elsewhere would be considered plagiarism here, as an example. Be mindful that Hive is a different beast.
Another nice post, sidwrites. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Refreshing to see it offered freely in this day and age where everyone wants us to buy their overpriced courses explaining these things.
Excellent — excellent advice. Love everything. Especially #2. Moving you to the top with my tiny upvote because these points add depth to the topic.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Spent thousands on courses, and as we are on the blockchain, I really wish to share everything I have learned over the years. And, of course, learn from you.
Wish to write / publish my first book soon!
