Jody…wow! This was probably one of the best blogs I’ve read on DeSo. So informative and helpful. It has nothing to do with the fact that you mentioned me 😂 Seriously, I was surprised to see my name when I got to that point. I’m am humbled to be thought of as an example. Thank you 🙏🏼

You just had to go and ask the question of which tip resonates most LOL That’s hard to say. I was captivated by this entire article. I found myself nodding my head in agreement all throughout.

But to pick, I’d say:
Number 3…Quality over Quantity.
That is a big one for me. But I live by that in real life. It’s why I don’t like food buffets 😁
That’s not to say that I don’t throw in some nonsense every now and then though, like a Throw Back Thursday post or a quick photo in a @Stori. I’m a real person and sometimes I like to reminisce on my life and share. I’m a bit of an open book, like you.

I must say I was very in tune with your statements when discussing DeSo being an international platform. Your example of football would be the same as me attempting to make posts on NASCAR (which I like…or used to). Most folks probably wouldn’t have a clue. And yes, I feel if I make an attempt at certain types of humor, things get lost in translation.

This blog you wrote took some thought and some time. At least it seems like it would have. I know when I write some of my adventure posts or space posts, it takes me a while to compose what I want to say so that hopefully it doesn’t make people’s eyes glaze over. I feel like this may fall under your Time Management tip. Sometimes writing a quality post takes time. This is where my insomnia comes in handy. 😵‍💫

Thank you for sharing such a helpful post with us. New users will surely find this handy!

Wow, thanks so much, BK! That means a lot. Yes, I started it on a whim figuring I’d knock it out in an hour and then it took…well, I’m too embarrassed to say how long it took. It actually took so long that I started to think that I should really just take it to another level, do even more research, and offer actual tools that can be used and such, buuut I decided to save that for version 2 another day. We almost landed a NASCAR track out here in the Seattle burbs, but locals everywhere they tried to plan it voted against it. Such a bummer. I could get into that! My favorite is actually hydroplanes. Unfortunately we typically only get those one weekend a year - first of August - for Seafair and I seem to always be out of town at one of my son’s baseball tournaments.

Point 2 is a good reminder for me. I'm not a very disciplined person, so I often remind myself of the importance of being consistent. It's important everywhere, but in social media it's key.
Thanks so much Jody for this great post!

1. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE- Bots.
2. CONSISTENCY IS KEY- Engage bot to write content with some kinda alarm thing built in to post regularly.
3. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY- Engage paid bots.
4. STORYTELLING MATTERS- Engage more sophisticated and hence yet higher priced bots.
5. ENGAGE AND RESPOND: See previous but now I need the “premium package”. Damn..

Wow.. This is gonna cripple me financially! Just gonna have to do it myself!

@iodacasamia - Nov 15, 2023
Good job But I think they are generic arguments, valid for any social network (web 2 - web 3) not particularly intended for Deso. Beyond that, I think there's no argument for how worthwhile this is. Each point described shows the activity on the social network as a job to be planned, to be yourself but to be ready to change, all as a function of the "work" of acquiring followers and making more posts a day.
For all this, the simple pleasure of being in a community is completely eliminated. The race to earn money is continuously promoted, the achievement of an ideal status made up of toil and daily planning as if it were a job.
Like Instagram, we continue to propose sick models of interaction with others, in the mad race for profit.
And what profiit are we talking about In relation to the time spent and the minimum amount of followers to be engaged? We should look into this in more detail, I think.

Phenomenal post, Jody! Informative, authoritative (despite what you may think, Jack of all Trades) and entertaining. It's not just great for DeSo -- but for anyone looking to maximize their reach across the entire Internet.

Bravo! 👏

BTW, nice use of ChatGPT, too. Fully disclosed and as a complement to your personal touches, I thought it set a great example for others' usage.
