SOCIAL MEDIA

Ready for Some Soaring Stats and Income? Start Commenting

Reading and interaction are all in social media

I get the question so often. How can you increase your success on social media? Well, the answer is super simple.

Be social.

And accumulate your value to your readers.

All social media algorithms like you to be social. They will reward you. And the proof is in my stats of the past few days.

I had been laid back for a bit. Not reading much. Not commenting much. My health was just not allowing me to spend the time. The energy.

But the past few days I felt I wanted to be a player again. I read, I commented, and I reconnected with a lot of my old friends here. Made new friends. Inspired new readers.

This is the proof. Yesterday 800 views. Just by talking with my old friends and new friends.

Do I spend hours of my time on that? Of course not. Short interactions. Little snippets of comments. Supportive. Always saying thanks if I like something.

Gratitude makes the world go round.

And of course, you need to do the other things right too.

Wanna be a writer? Be a writer. Take your writing seriously. Combine the personal with real value for your readers. They want to know something new. They want to be surprised. They want to be hooked from paragraph to paragraph.

They want to be taken on a nice little spin of words and images (always credit the maker and make sure you just use creative commons pictures).

In short, be a professional.

Surf the waves. Weave loners together. And make people happy.

It’s like walking in the street and randomly smiling broad smiles at everyone. Ever tried it? Everyone will smile back. You made their day. You sparked a little positive energy in their bodies and souls.

Accumulation

Our planet works with accumulation. And you can do that with your writing too. Accumulate your value to your readers. Create a portfolio of value. Create books. Be active on other social media and link your value. Make sure your readers know what to expect. And be consistent in providing value.

We are drops, attracting other drops until we are a wave.

Also, people feel seen, heard, and noticed when you work with positive energy in your comments. They will feel comfortable around you. They feel they belong and become less lonely. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

You don’t like being told what to do.

You want to find out for yourself.

So, I spark little sparks and you find out for yourself. And you’ll like me for lighting a spark in you. That’s how it works. And if you are not analyzing, but just doing what you do, it works even better.

Not judging. Not manipulative. Not trying to reach some goal. Just surfing the waves and having fun living your life. And making friends wherever you go.

Happy writing. Happy reading. And see you out there…

And thanks to Gaia for giving me Wild Writing.
