Hey @ogochukwu,
Firstly, awesome post. I've been away from Steemit (perhaps technology as a whole), and it's nice to be welcomed by an article that at least gives me the first steps towards understanding ONO.
Now I noticed you defined a few terms in this post, but there's one I always see around Steemit, and sometimes your articles, that seems really vague.
"Community builder"
It's an idea that fills me with equal parts wonder and confusion. Whenever I see it I imagine a squad of coders hacking away at lit up keyboards in dark rooms, doing things I won't begin to understand at 45 if I started right now.
On some level, I know that's not it. At least, this article has helped right that logic to some degree with the definition of community. But that raises a whole new problem for me and I presume some others;
"What Communities Can WE build?"
You spoke of a guy writing about pigs as an example, but suppose a guy like that existed? How would he help build the community? As I write this I have a 700 word article on my laptop (unedited and unposted) that stemmed from me wondering why I found it so easy to kill a roach in front of my girlfriend.
That's what I'M good at. That's MY niche. And I like to think it's stuff that people would like to read, and in some sense it is. It could gather a following.
But if you were looking to build a community, would you gaze upon my roach related musings and say, "I want THAT guy?"
And in the off chance that you would, what could I do to help?
Thanks.
Lol, @barrister-batman i personally dont know you, but i think having me as an audience for your Roach Adventures who depend on your delivery.
I believe its one thing to have a content and then its another thing to know how best to deliver it and make it Engaging (yup thats the word).
Its all about your Delivery and Engagement. ☺
Thanks @ifechi-works,
Well I think it's safe to say my delivery is solid. I often spend a lot of time (a little too much some might say) cleaning up my articles for maximum...gravitas 😅
Thanks for the tip.
Lol. Great. I will check your blog ☺
I know you fairly and I can say that you are a movie and game freak.
This means that you can build a gaming or movie community here on Steemit. There is no factory specification.
Communities are made up of Flesh and Blood and these things can be shaped into whatever mode desired.
So if you want to help find out ways to add value to people who talk about what you are familiar with.
@ogochukwu.
Thanks @ogochukwu, I'll definitely look into that.
There are some restrictions that may hold me back (Cinema ooo😢), but I'll definitely find some way around them🙏
