Choosing the Right Topic to Write About : POB, LEO & HIVE on Wikipedia
Yesterday we were having a discussion on a post shared by one of our HIVE friend. He was sort of demotivated and wanted to quit HIVE. He complained for not receiving any appreciation/ upvotes from the community members for his work. I know it's sort of frustrating not receiving rewards for the hard work being put.
It's Not Only About Hard Work
But I think it's not only about hard work. You also have to be smart enough to choose the topic about which you should write about. The topic should HOT or TRENDING the HIVE community. You need to do a bit of your research and find what this community want to consume the most. It's not just about work hard for a topic that is not of interest to the community.
Doing a Little Research
I do sometimes feel a bit hard finding a topic to talk about so no doubt it needs a bit of research knowing what content is being liked by the community. I think the best way to find is to go check all the posts in the TRENDING. Even reading a few TITLES of the post you may get an idea what to write about. You need to know the pulse of the community.
I think you shouldn't be writing about something that is already available on the internet which people can easily google and consume. Probably you should find something unique or present your views about a topic. Share some cool photos from your surroundings. Just talk your heart out. Be yourself.
Those were some of my views on choosing a topic.
POB, LEO & HIVE on Wikipedia
Coming to the main thing, I have searched ProofofBrain, LEO & HIVE on Wikipedia.org but I am sort of amazed that we don't have any content on it. Wikipedia.org is a popular website where we see details about business, companies, celebrities etc.
How many of you have turned to Wikipedia.org reading about different things?
We should have a good content published on Wikipedia.org for ProofofBrain, LEO & HIVE. Good authors should be hired for this task.
It's good to leave your backlinks on a popular website like Wikipedia.org because this may help with our Search Engine Optimization and may provide us a chance to improve our rank getting more traffic.
These suggestions may be taken into consideration. I am tagging @proofofbrainio so that they may know about it and do something about it.
Thanks
I read that post too and relate to it. Not getting any engagement can really demotivate you. I honestly didn't have anything to say cos he's probably heard it all.
These days, I don't even try to focus on one type of content. I post whatever I feel like and my engagement is better now.
This is a great idea
I wrote about this multiple times. The last time was yesterday: See this? This is why I am thinking about leaving the Hive blockchain
And people say that "do not be negative". I am not negative. I am honest and realistic.
Maybe that is the best idea, and ignoring the hot and trending.
I always ignore the hot and trending. Also ignore voting anything above the $5 mark. or maybe even $2-3, anything higher and your just giving away your curation efforts.
I actually read your post yesterday and it's what I was referring to in my comment.
I barely check those 🙂
Hopefully this is done at the earliest.
Reminded of a saying, "be love and the money will follow on its own".
If the rewards is all he/she can think about then that person is most likely going struggle because of that same reason. They aren't thinking of the content from within themselves or they haven't found it yet.
I would suggest to be more active in the comments and write on a notepad daily about anything that comes to mind. Then organize that written content that he/she feels should be posted and post it and good luck.

Haven't all read and repeated the phrase "value comes from within" This is a crypto world now. and Crypto value comes from within through various ways such as proof of work, effort, network growth, etc. Not like fiat where we can just print whatever amount and presto. It doesn't work that way here.
Want rewards? Then complaining that you ain't getting it isn't going to make it happen. Welcome the 70's and 80's again where real rewards are given after the hard work is done. Not this new generation shit where people want to be rewarded before any hard work. it's wrong.
In my youth, we had to put on our shoes and run for days. practice running. Work hard on our routine. Then one day we get the opportunity to compete and we compete. we run for the reward after all our hard effort and work. Of course not everyone made it to be among the top 3 and receive an award. but there was another reward hidden. the reward of self satisfaction for having finished. It didn't matter whether or not we "won" so long as we finished. And we felt Happy either way. We congratulated the "winners" and they congratulated the "losers" but everyone walked away from the track Happy.
Now a days I see people wanting awards for just putting on their shoes.
What's next? Toilets that pay you for using the toilet?
(that's a real thing btw. just to show you how ludicrous this world is getting)
