Weekly Update Post - [Week 2]

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my fellow Steemians. Since we celebrate Christmas on the 24:th in Sweden I will give you a gift of advice, do not go out drinking on Christmas! I currently have the worst hangover and I believe the only cure for it is even more sleep. Before I do that however, I will write a little update on how my second week on steemit went.

I had a goal set to post something every day, which I failed but five out of seven days is honestly pretty good. Have done a mix of guides, information and personal posts, a mix that I enjoy. I like my personal stories the most but I feel like a narcissist if I write about myself too much and doing guides etc is a good challenge to me. @techslut also informed me about a post that led me to submit a short little story to someone who will hopefully post it this week, if that happens I will resteem it so keep an eye out for that if you follow me. If you don't already follow me it can be a bit tricky to find it.

On some days I posted really late, like at 4 am for me which have made it hard for my posts to get exposure. I do not mind the latter that much but I feel like my posts deserve the effort I put in and that I should be more careful about when I post them for that reason. This will either make me write them earlier in the day or wait with posting them the day after. When do you prefer to publish your posts, dear reader and writer?

I look forward to this coming week and until then, here are two posts I made last week that you might have missed!

Why Polyamory was Right for me - Part. 2
How to get Yourself a Juicy Backup Partner

Exactly right - even if you didn't hit your goal of 7, you came very close!

My goal is usually to write the post the day before, so I have time to let it sit and look at it with fresh eyes before uploading. However lately, I'm doing them on the fly and sharing them at random times of the day. I'd gotten into a decent rhythm with my Wordpress blog, and I'm hoping to do the same here once the holidays are over.

I'm following you now, so I'll keep an eye open for your short story! 😃

Thank you! And I should probably do like you do, write them the day before. I just get so excited when I finish one so I want to share it with the world immediately, the only problem with that is that only very few will have a chance to see it if it is posted at an odd hour.

I hadn't even considered the time of day factor here yet. On my WordPress blog, I try to have the posts up by 8am in my time zone, then work on promoting them on social media haphazardly throughout the day. Might be why my readership there is still relatively small...LOL!

Oh, and another thing that helped me tremendously was to do theme days. At the moment I have Microblog Mondays (short, social media-sized posts), Tarot Tuesdays, Witchy Wednesdays, and Foto Fridays. Now that I plan to post on Steemit at least once a day, I think I might do something like, "Thankful Thursdays" (gratitude type stuff), "Social Saturdays" (sharing interesting posts from others) and "Silent Sundays" (just pictures, no words). Since I started doing themes, it's much easy to focus and post.

Oh, and completely forgot to mention - I nominated you today for that 7 day B&W photo thingy that's been making the rounds. 😄 📷💝

You are doing well! Keep up the good work! ☺

Thank you <3 I will!
