Commenting is what helped me break through when I was new and getting no notice for my articles. Coming home and seeing an unexpected upvote on a thoughtful comment I left was really heartwarming.
- If english isn't your first language, let pictures help tell the story.
- Think you don't have a story to tell while living in a small village? Share your daily walk in life, I look for posts like that to upvote.
- Consider time of day when posting. When trying to reach a certain region, publish at the optimal time to have the most impact.
And once you get off the ground running... KEEP GOING! :)
Two words: Absolutely brilliant. Forgot to talk about the time. In fact, the "small village" idea is equally wonderful. Very thoughtful comment.
