I don't have ANY secrets, lol! I do three things:
Comments!
I post and start my commenting round, I know and have experienced that commenting is the way to get comments and possibly upvotes in return! I also like to 'reward' myself by reading other posts after I posted myself - if I lost myself in reading only I would never post again ;-)Discord communities!
I post my URL in Discord channels but have been getting more selective in that since they flooded with post links anyway. I don't feel this is the most effective promotion tool but in a few rooms it does work once in a while - especially the smaller communities might still read the postpromo rooms and prioritize posts from fellow community members.Community tags!
I use community tags when I feel it's appropriate.
- #thealliance is a real 'family' sort of community and posting through that tag means at least @enginewitty will read and sometimes upvote/resteem and he does amazing community summary posts. Also @c0ff33a is an amazing supporter of #thealliance and they both are super committed to make all #thealliance members feel part of the fam.
- #adsactly has a tight-knit group of curators/readers and using the tag means I know they will stop by and take a look.
- #steemsilvergold is a very specific tag from the SSG community and I can't use it too often since silver stacking is a new hobby of mine and I don't want to use the tag on non-SilverGold posts. BUT I've noticed that when I do I get a lot of interaction because this community has a lot of members that I feel are basically refreshing that tag and very loyally reading all the posts in that tag :-)
The last one is not really 'promo' maybe but joining community challenges enhances the possibility you get curated in an overview or 'winners' kind of post which might get your name out of your normal/regular bubble. So that's sort of a bonus tip for those who are reading the wise words from this almost-Steem-grandma (I mean, in 2 months I'll be a 1-year Steemian, that's grandma level in this place!)
This one is a smart cookie. I love cookies🍪

OMNOMNOM!
Promotion in the promotion rooms of most Discord channels is indeed not always as effective.
You know, I never even got to write my application for #thealliance. I started three times or so, But I'm terrible when it comes to 'selling myself', lol.
Last week I read they changed the rules, and that you needed an invitation to get in. Haha, I'd better written that application when I had a chance :0)
LOL! Well - don't think you won't come in you would be a great fit! If you apply I'll gladly 'second' your application :D If you need help or some motivation hit me up on Discord I'll gladly help :D
Thanks. I will probably keep you to that promise :0)
