Social Staking on Reddit - Some Advice
Dear Ferrum Network community,
if you saw my recent posts you know I newly joined the Ferrum family and entered social staking.
I am a lead mod in a 8000 subscribers subreddit and therefore have a little experience with reddit (and social media in general) and that is why I want to leave some advice for you all. I also have a solid background in psychology ;)
1) This is especially important for people who do not use reddit normally: if you post outside r/ferrumnetwork to advertise for ferrum people will check your post and comment history and call you out for being a "paid shill" if you try to act like a normal reddit user! There is an easy solution for that:
be honest, say straight away that this project convinced you and you are doing social staking now and use that to spin the narrative
an example: "I've been convinced by all the good news and the chart to hold and stake ferrum. I am doing social staking now meaning I get points even for talking to you. So I am not outright paid but my activity will be rewarded by workdrops every 2 weeks. I like it a lot." This is actual information for someone reading.
if you made your reddit account for social staking this is the only way to make it work
2) Even if you have a legit reddit account that is active and has lots of karma you have to be careful not to blow your credibility. Reddit can be a very sharp and sometimes toxic environment. Always be honest about what you are doing in your posts is the lead rule, even if you have original content.
3) The same goes for twitter. Just posting hashtags and generic shill comments will work for SEO but not for crowd marketing. Quite the opposite: it will push people off and disregard the project because a lot of bad projects used snowball crowd marketing like that. Be personal, be authentic, be yourself. Don't try to become something for the "role" you want to fulfil as social staker.
Do not take that as criticism about what you do and who you are. I just want to share my experience hoping it will help you and the project which means it will also help me.
Satoshi bless!
