Hello, and welcome to Steemit.
From reading about your experiences and your goals, I believe you have plenty of worthwhile material and perspective to bring to this great new platform. (You could even post Malagasy language-learning material... altho that might not be very popular or lucrative.)
Below are a few points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Thank you for your advice, @majes.tytyty! Our (German) blog posts usually contain 1,000-1,500 words and 20-30 pictures, which is regarded sometimes as too long by some of our regular readers. Therefore we thought it might be a better idea to keep our intro post a bit shorter. But it's great to hear that longer posts with lots of photos perform well / even better :)
And YES, we 're definitely going to write something how it works to learn Malagasy language, even if you've never been to Madagascar before!
Best,
Cori & Flo
Check out one of the most successful travel blogs on Steemit, by @sweetsssj. Her posts are not fairly long, but content-rich and content-nutritious.
And from my discussions with other Steemians over the past few months, it's clear that short, simple posts are not looked upon too favorably. And rightly so.
I believe the powers-that-be at Steemit are looking to fill the site with as much quality content as possible. That way, Steemit willl not only set itself apart from the likes of Facebook and twitter, but actually produce a site of true value.
Let's all work together towards that ideal.
