Interesting stats. I'm not much of an informed hive-user I'm afraid, however I've always maintained that engagement is one of the ways we can drive it. I don't mean people just commenting on their friends either...I mean people engaging with new people and other's they may not always engage with.
A great way to track that is with your EL as it shows not only the number of comments, but how many different users have been commented upon and with how many characters. Those stats are often quite interesting to compare between the different accounts in the EL.
Anyway, enough said as I don't really know what I'm talking about. Lol.
Yeah, I don't need to tell the EL champ how to suck eggs, keep on doing what you are doing :)
I'm guilty of not visiting enough new/different people each week, but think I'm doing a bit better of late.
I force myself to do it to be honest...I mean I remember when I was new and how awesome it felt to get a comment on a post. This, considering I had the benefit of @tarazkp helping guide me along...I can only imagine what it must be like for new people who know nobody. I guess I'm learning considering my alt account get's almost zero engagement - Another motivator to try and reach out a little more knowing that it must mean a great deal. I've never met anyone who isn't grateful although a few who send back a cursory thanks...OK, I' just move on to the next.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'm a champ of EL...Although could win a world title in covid-19 snack eating I'm sure! Lol. Seriously, lockdown is a great chance to find and engage with some new people. I'm making the most of it.
I'm no expert at anything and certainly don't judge what others do, or don't do, but engagement is such an important thing here.
Are you engaging into a bag of crisps right now? :)
The alt account is a good reminder that it takes time, perhaps forever, to gain a steady audience. How much commentating elsewhere do you do with that account though?
If only...Actually Faith has a frozen pizza in the oven...Yep, livin' large man! The high life...Dr Oetker frozen pizza.
Ah ha! EXACTLY! Almost literally no engagement on that alt. (On purpose for the moment as I don't have the time. You know how much I engage as it is.) I'm actually writing about it now. A post for tonight. A passive
rantreminder about engagement and was going to mention my own alt and just that very point.Let's name the brand after a Dr, they'll think the pizza is healthy?!
If you could just magic 2/3 more hours into the day to run another, more engaging alt, and see how it fares against the other... :)
Yeah, good old Dr. Oetker...It must be good for me if a Dr. has his name on it. He was probably a proctologist! Lol.
Oh yeah, I work 25 hours a day now...What's another 3.
You know, a few days ago I made about few comments, three or four, and gained a couple followers there...It's pretty easy and why more don't do it is beyond me.
Go have a look at the last post I did a couple hours ago there...You know who again. Lol.
