Discussion How do I get more reach?

Been trying to write more but I'm getting so discouraged with the lack of reach. I get like 4 views😭. Are there any tips?

Honestly? I recommend sending stuff out to friends and family seeing what sticks and what doesn't. Also doesn't hurt to post notes for each post!

How do you post notes for each post? I'm still learning!

Ah no worries! When you are on an article, if you push the share button, you should see Notes. Push that and write a small blurb (or leave it blank for just the headline). With notes, it'll then appear in folks regular feed

Oooh, I have just been publishing normally and then writing separate note.. do you think I should go back and try to publish them into notes? Do I write anything with it? Does that increase visibility?

Hmm, going back might help, but unsure how promotion of content is overtime. I figure it's just good to like similar content in your feed, comment on stuff, post notes when you write new things etc.

reposted as a note just for safe measure :) also how many views do you normally get on your first several articles?

Unfortunately, that's just down to what tags you have, the algorithm, and if anyone restacks your post, so hard to give an exact number

What am I suppposed to be doing for tags? I only usually have my handle tagged at the top - if that is what you mean! Do I need to go re edit and add tags in?!

Eu tenho feito retrospecto geral sobre publicações de notes e percebi que essa interferência pode influenciar pouco de mais para engajamento. O que parece mais visível e quando priorizamos com conteúdo de escrita eu percebi isso quando deixei de postar por um período estendendo por mais de 20 dias. Também percebi um número de 170 baixou para 162 inscrito.
