# <center> Finding Interesting Content: Tips On Steemit Tags  </center>
<center> Hello Fellow Steemians!  I joined the Steemit community just over a month ago and it has truly been a thrilling, exciting journey.  However, starting out was tough and  one of the biggest challenges I faced early on was trying to figure out what to read, where to read it and how to get my content read.  </center>

<center> If you’re like me and constantly wondering how to find content that is relevant, interesting and that leads to genuine connection with other Steemians (not just upvote beggars), here are a couple tips that helped me early on and that I hope get you closer to the posts and folks most relatable to you. </center>

# *How to Search the Trending Tags*
It doesn’t take long to realize that the Trending list on the Steemit homepage does not include a wide range of topics, so it takes intentional effort to find content that is more specific to your interests.  So start with a brainstorm: name your hobby and think of allllllll buzzwords related to that topic.  Next, to find a topic that is not listed under Trending, type the following into your search engine and GO!

# *Be Specific In Your Tag Search*

Contrary to instinct, becoming extremely narrow and specific in your tag search will help you find the handful of others share your niche interests.  Alternative buzzwords gives indication Steemians that *think like you*.  Consider that for a moment: searching a tag like #photography is so massively broad, but if you hold a hyper interest in capturing the night sky, you will find only 5 other enthusiast (a.k.a. your kindred spirits) under steemit.com/trending/astrophotography.  

For instance, I am surprised to find that #sexuality is not a major trending tag here on Steemit, but I am happy to find what I am looking for under tags like #gender and #lgbt.

By finding those 5 Steemians bold enough to take an obscure tag and run with it, you immediately find a group with a common bond.  This also give way to opportunity help another Steemian move their content to a tag that would be more beneficial (i.e., #celiac would thrive better under #glutenfree). 

So don’t fear searching everything you love under the sun or using a tag or two on your own post for your niche interest.  I hope your find these tips helpful!
