How To Write Like a Lion

# How To Write Like a Lion

I wanted to follow up with my [HiveStats](https://hivestats.io/) post I wrote the other day and if you haven't seen it yet it's called [Want to earn more Leo? Than HiveStats will get you there](https://leofinance.io/@melbourneswest/want-to-earn-more-leo-than-hivestats-will-get-you-there) which was a complete walk through of HiveStats and how to use it to refine and focus your articles to maximise readership and returns. 

But now that I have provided you an insight into how to focus your work I am going to teach you how to write. Now I am not claiming to be the greatest writer or earner on [Leo Finance](https://leofinance.io) but I do know a few things about how to write, engage and get cracking. 

So as the friendly neighbourhood Lion that I am I thought I would put together a quick How To Write Like a Lion guide to help others also on their journey and in the hopes of lifting the entire blockchain along the way. 

### You Are Your Own Personal Brand
![Untitled design 80.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TLqYxYe.jpg)

The first thing you need to do is change the way you perceive your account or blog and stop thinking of it as a social media account with a token but rather see it as your business. This account is an extension of yourself but not everything because much like a small business whose owners put their heart and soul on the line. 

Think of Leo Finance as the tool for you as a freelance writer and your account is your business. 

### Focus your energy
![Untitled design 81.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MvQ3OOH.jpg)

This is something I am guilty of not doing in the past but that's focusing my articles and topics. Be selective and write because you have something to share and not because you need to in order to get an upvote. This means your content will be more goal orientated. 

I often see people who post a range of different things and there is no unison to their writing. Finding out what it is you want to share with your readers and sticking to it will help you go a long way. You'll also notice that some of Hive and Leo Finances best authors focus on one or two core niches and provide new information on it each article. 

### How Often Should You Post?
![Untitled design 82.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/EB8Wo98.jpg) 

This is a contested position as everyone is different and different things work for different people but the advice I can provide for you is be consistent. You will notice that my articles are published on weekdays generally between 8am - 9am Melbourne, Australia time and weekend a set a little later as people tend to be out of their weekday routines. 

My readers know that at that time each day I will have new content and when you start being inconsistent with times and your work becomes sporadic you will find it hard to retain readers. 

Also remember posting multiple articles a day especially if they are to the same readers or in the same group will most likely be losing you money as some people may read them all but they will only vote once. So save them and space them out over time this also helps you have original content ready to go. 

### Engage your audience
![Untitled design 83.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iBJ8dF7.jpg) 

Nothing beats genuine engagement and this is something I try to focus on the most and I will get back to each comment and I will also move around engaging on other peoples articles. It is not easy but I would highly recommend setting some time a side each day to engage and I would never miss engaging with a comment on your own work. Remember, This is your small business and would a small business owner never engage someone who is in their store? 

Ask questions in your articles too, don't be afraid to ask for opinions even if they are different to your own and you never know, you might learn something new from your readers! 

### Article Length
![Untitled design 84.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JjUoLza.jpg)

There is no right or wrong way in developing article length and some articles will require more in-depth breakdowns and some you will struggle to put more than a few hundred words together. It is ok to do a mix and you don’t always want to give your readers slabs upon slabs of writing as you may see yourself losing followers or them moving onto something less wordy.

It's not easy to find the balance and you do also need to consider search engine analytics my advice would be to aim for the 500 – 800 word count but also produce longer articles from time to time this will also show your readers that you're sincere and will put in the time and effort to find the information or news they want to read about. 

### Use images
![Untitled design 85.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/y8ikeIL.jpg)

Don't forget to use images in your articles I would recommend a subscription based one so you don't need to scroll and search for images and have multiple different source links. 

I have a subscription with Canva which also has an editing program attached which enables me to also make my own images if one doesn't exist and if you're writing crypto focused content then you're probably going to need to create a lot of your own stuff. 

### Draw Inspiration from Contests
![Untitled design 86.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4TzyzRk.jpg)

If you're coming up blank for content and not sure what to write about scroll around the blockchain you will find plenty of contests and awards happening that you can participate in. Not only will it help you find something to write about if you're starting out or experiencing writers block but you will also be able to win yourself some additional support. 

I hope you have enjoyed what I try and do to expand my articles and how I work and that it provides you with some additional ammunition to be a better writer. 

Do you agree with my tips or have more to add to the list? then let us know in the comment section below.

Great tips to start out and write high quality posts. You honestly can tell when someone put in a good hour on a post and reward them for it. It makes it more engaging and easier for people to read. Leo is becoming a hot bed for popular articles and cutting edge news from everyday people.

These are some great tips for newbies and reminders for veterans. Reblogging for the https://coin-Logic.com front page feed.

I know I have kind of hit the wall as far as content creation, but the key is consistency, no matter if it seems worth it at times or not. I am at the point that even if I don’t post, I am still engaging as much as possible and trying to learn from others.

Very helpful for newcomers! Among all the listed points I suppose engaging with the audience is one of the most important (of course after creating quality content) after all that is what grows your connections and improves the reader base.

agree and there are so many great writers that do it well and many that try to cover everything and sometimes in the one post. There is a way to cover multiple stories and I might do a breakdown on that in another post.

Great advice :)

It's really all about just showing up, being consistent and engaging with your audience.

**A few extra tips:**
* Take a little time to format and proof-read your posts.

* Link back to previous articles of yours or your others on LeoFinance.

* Don't spam your posts with a million affiliate links.

I think the link back suggestion is very good one also. I don't have affiliate links, so I don't use them

I agree with your points above and I think the contests are probably one of the better ways for new users to get started. I didn't start doing the weekly splinterland challenge posts until after fairly late but I definitely regret not doing them earlier.

These are good points. I agree with them; consistency, quality and engagement are very important. I think consistent engagement is almost more important then consistent publishing.
To this list I would add this one:
It is very important to protect your brand, and that sometimes means backing down from fights with unreasonable people here on Hive, otherwise they will find ways to tarnish your brand. In this space it is as important to avoid angering the wrong people, as it is to produce quality posts and posting consistently.

All very great advice! Loved reading this! 
The formatting and pictures make it a pleasant read.
I see more people step up their game lately and try to format better. I love it. 

Last year, I didn't add any of my previous posts in my new content, now I do. I have several lists for several topics like "More foodies content" or "more listnerds content" but also my Hive goals update previous parts are linked.

I have heard many times now that people love how it's formatted and that it's nice to be able to find back my related content this way. It took a while for me to figure out my own formatting style especially as I never created text dividers until a few months ago. Now I have the same custom made one for each series or a custom one that fits that particular post.

My take home points:

- post because you want to pass a message and not because of upvotes alone. With this mindset, you won't feel frustrated if peradventure, upvotes don't come as expected. Also, this mindset makes you avoid making too many post low quality articles. 
- engage: this is a hack many people do not know. Currently, majority of my earnings on LeoFinance comes from making appreciable comments.
- consistency: I learnt this lesson the hard way. The havoc inconsistency causes is greater than the rewards consistency brings.
