Wealth generated simply by using the right tags? Yep.
I know I've discussed this prior, but I wanted to remind folks that it literally pays to use the right tags in your posts.
Here's an example of how just adding a couple of tags will net this post a couple dollars more in Hive. That's a win.
Post Example: Giving 3Steps.Today a pivotal change in direction (and a much needed refresh in content)
Currently as of Sun Jan 30, Hive is worth $0.941 USD. So this post earned approx another 2 HIVE worth of second layer tokens.
I talked about this in several previous posts:
My recommendation? Use RELEVANT tags!
- Are you writing about finance? #leo and #leofinance do it.
- Discussing marketing? #ctp tribe has your back.
- Gaming? #oneup is the next level
- Don't forget #neoxian, #palnet, #proofofbrain, #archon and some other general tokens. Hoover it up and convert it to Hive.
That's it for now. Have a great Sunday!
Peace and Love,
-Rob

Came over from Listnerds and appreciate your reminder about hashtags. I am a creature of habit so once I figure out which tags are appropriate for the kind of stuff I post, hopefully I can make that a habit. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I followed you. Yeah there are some good ones. One way to find good ones is to watch the bigger accounts in the tribes you like and see what tags they use, and go research the tag to see if it's relevant to what you write. Oh and I left off a post above. I wrote this one too:

I repeatedly come back to this because I see people with good content either using the wrong tags on their posts OR they aren't using ones that would really work for their niche.
hello dear friend @threesteps good afternoon
Excellent work you do, I appreciate that you share these words and the suggestions for using the labels
Have a happy start of the week
Nice to see you as well @jlufer . Glad to see you are #aliveandthriving. :)
Yes, using right tags can increase your earnings.
I use generic token tags along with the post relevant tags.
pls boost my earnings
PS - Listnerds email post upvoted.
Yeah I read your stuff and follow you. You use good tags
Thank you for all the good information. I'm just starting my blogging journey so it's gonna be very useful to increase the earnings on my post! Every penny count when you start with little.
You're most welcome. Let me know when you start. your profile here on the chain is rather sparse.
Im enjoying earning hive had problems getting into hive so I knew that I had made a few accounts.Then I had saved it in my notes ,but every time I tryed it wouldn’t work so I had downloaded the app files my password was in the there . I was so happy I started out with #ecency had problems getting in #discord too.I love listening to the music in the afternoons exspecialy #soulfood Sunday be jamming I making cash In many places these days I remember saying how do they make all this cash . Just yesterday I found #Wordlinx great place to advertise
nice. glad to see you on hive. I went by and left a comment on your account.
Thanks so much just wondering I found this tonight through listnerds how do I save it donut right there
Without a doubt, the efficient use of labels is a good way to maximize profits.
Another way to get earnings is to post to the right tribes.

@threesteps! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @yeckingo1. (3/10)

Yep, I wrote about using the right tribes. The best part of that is the relationships you build.
Most of my earnings come from comments as im just not a big poster. i actually think i add more value by commenting than by some tryhard post that i would make.
i think that's the important part, adding value where you can. That being said i try to use relevant tags when i post.
I found your post via listnerds and I'm trying to figure out how to make the most use of that tool currently. So far it's a good content discovery system.
👍
Comments and posts both work. Do what works for you. Everyone likes seeing comments on their posts, so I am sure you are well received. :)
Let's not forget the #aliveandthriving and #alive tags. Those are tremendous and have fabulous communities.
Great article @threesteps! I was going to ask you, what's better as a tag #pob or #proofofbrain? I got pob with #proofofbrain, but I don't know if I was using it right or hindering my earnings. Oh, don't forget the #splinterlands and #spt tags, too! They are pretty good! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!!!
I believe it's #proofofbrain is the one their front-end condenser (proofofbrain.io) uses. You can verify that by checking posts there for either tag.
To increase your earnings you have to use the correct tags but above all it is necessary to do it if you want your posts to be seen.
Agreed. it helps people of common interest find posts they're interested in. I also use the Follow and Feed method - I follow people who write what I like, and then see their posts in my feed.
Tags are so important and they can even double your earnings. In the case of finance-related, or gaming-related topics, I've seen my post being worth double thanks to the other tags.
Yep. I have had posts where the upvote amount in #ctp, #alive, #leo, and #pob added to my post value significantly. I have other posts I linked about this topic. I write about this every once in a while as a reminder to folks so they earn more and it helps communities pick up followers.
yes, it's good to spread the word :)
It's actually a good one that makes perfect sense to one that adheres but as you mentioned, still do your own research.
Earnings
Agreed. Find useful tags that others use, and adopt the ones that fit your posts.
Tags are also great when they are relevant. In a way, you can always put your earnings to work. However I think there might be a bit too many tags and some of them don't really seem to help much.
I have seen people use tags that didn't fit. Hive is an open place, and self-corrects. If someone is abusing a tag, you can always leave a comment and let them know. I know if I was mis-using one, I'd like to know. :)
I place tags properly selected under my post. I have done some mistakes time ago, but I corrected the proper addition of tags under the different platforms.
Peace
Yeah it's always a good idea to review your tag utilization. Nice!
Yeah I think tags can be game changer if used properly. Just came from List Nerds. Haha
Followed you. Appreciate that you came from LN.
Thank You so much means a lot
Great post. It is important to beginners, like me, to learn about the different tags they can use to bump their earnings. Thanks!
Yes, this is unique to Hive Blockchain. Tagging different communities will get you additional tokens to that particular community for the same post and content and increase your earnings.
Very nice "earnings" indeed layer 2 tokens are very important👀

2nd layer is great IMO. I earn a good deal on 2nd layer, which is where most of my holdings are.
You're exactly right! Adding appropriate tags is a hidden gold mine.
It is indeed. I calculate my earnings on 2nd layer sometimes just to show people how profitable it can be.
Interesting to see that you recommend the LEO tag for marketing. I am quite careful about that tag and only use it when blogging specifically about cryptocurrency. I like blogging on the LEO front-end, but have not done so for a while. Maybe my interpretation of what they are about is too narrow.
The ALIVE folk are very supportive and sometimes reach out to me suggesting that I could have used the tag in this or that blog post.
I haven't used some of the generic tags so much recently as the rewards seem to be very low. ProofOfBrain, however, is one that I almost always include.

yeah, I include LEO if I show my crypto 2nd layer holdings in a marketing post. I should make that clear. It's not just any old post, but the ones where I talk about my stake\hold strategy, or what I sell. And as always - do your own research. I write for entertainment.
Hashtags are a great way to stack! Nice write-up!
Thanks so much. I followed you. Glad you like the article and if it helps, that's even better!
I need to be more active here. Thanks for the follow
