Gather here my fellow newbies. You might be feeling "what a self righteous punk this is- what does he even have to say?". This article is also directed to myself, so i've thrown that same question my way too. lol
I can remember about one or two months ago when the excitement was high on noisecash. New updates was dropping at intervals and it seems the admin was listening to every suggestion made by the users. That was how it looked because every of our request was taken into consideration with each update. So many of us started over Estimating our power or for a lack of better words became outspoken about our requests.
I was among the lot asking for the tagging system. While some ask for the upload video option. As at that time being able to tag another user seems cool to me until i came to readcash where it is allowed and i realised how it is abused by many, myself included when i first joined.
Reasons/ways you can use the tag
For referencing
You are writing an article which was prompted by another article written earlier by another user . You can tag him/her and also post the link to the article you are making reference to. I'm sure the person will appreciate the tag and the reference.
However this should be done with care. You don't need to tag an article about Dogs to your article about Bitcoin. It doesn't relate at all.
It can also be used in reference to a conversation you had with someone, which you want to use in your article.
Giving special shoutout to Some special people
I see people write article about their sponsors or top Upvoters and tag them. That's a cool way of showing your appreciation. It isn't necessary that you write an article about your sponsors. You can also make special shout-out to them in any of your article. But this is a constant mistake we newbies make. We tag our sponsors or some set of people to every of our post. They are human. They get tired at some point.
It will get to some point when they see our notification (that they've been tagged by you) they will quickly click "mark all these as read" without checking the content because it's your usual practice. There are alternative ways of doing it. You can just "on" the sponsorship block in between your post and add a caption just like the one below.
Kindly go through my sponsors list. Check out their page they've got some interesting articles
Don't get me wrong you can tag them sometimes. Don't just let it be a repetitive/daily occurrence.
3. When you seek someone's attention
Also i will advice that this shouldn't be frequent. People tag Marc to articles about him or articles they feel might be of interest to him. I'm not against this. This is an earning site where everyone use different tactics. I once wrote a story about my love adventure on noisecash and tagged so many people. I used their names based on what i believe they do write about and let say for "clout". I'm not justifying what i did, because i could have written the names without tagging them. But i didn't make it a repetitive occurrence. Probably i could have informed them prior to writing the story.
4 They will read your article
I'm sure the reason why most of us (newbies) tag people is because we want them to read our article. But let me tell you this- you don't need to do that. The best way to attract them to your article is by
Interacting on theirs
Write something interesting or educating
Be consistent
Find a suitable Title
Read the helpline article readcash sent after your first post
The best Example i can give is ma'am jane. I'm sure you've noticed that you can't tag her. I don't know the reason but i can say it isn't needed because she'llsurely read it.
Till today i still wonder how she manages to go through all articles. Yes "all articles" because once i click on any article i will surely see her comment and upvote. Guess what baffles me the most?. "Her comments". She don't just drop random comments all for the sake of getting tips. No ,her comments are always relevant to the article which goes to show that she went through every line. Moreover, how can someone comment because of tip, yet tip that same article?.
So can you see that you don't necessarily need to tag everyone in the world just to get them to read your article. Just a little exceptions.π
To check up on someone
Let's say it's been long i've seen someone drop comment on my articles . I can use the tag button to check up on him/her. Also this is another tactics people use here, to get rusty's attention. A little secret guys. Last month when things weren't going well as planned ,i editing two of my articles and tag the bot with the expectation of receiving more than i was receiving but the bot ghosted me. lol
For a Cogent reason
Let's take the weekly prompt for example (by jonicabradley) where you tag whosoever you want to join the challenge.
Or the on-going #Club1BCH Euros Fantasy league (by PVM)
Or the weekly patronage ( by macronald)
In all these events i mentioned above, tagging people is expected and appreciated. For this purpose i don't think anyone will be annoyed with you for tagging them or for being tagged by the author.
General note
I promised not to make the article too long in order not to bore you . So let me just Write a general note.
My main reason for writing this article was in response to a question one of my invitees (i didn't use Affiliate because she didn't use my link but i invited her here) asked me. She said a certain user no longer visit her articles and after going through her articles ,i noticed she tags this person to every of her post. If I'm the one too i will get tired and run away. lol
I write this so we won't get blocked by various users or reported. Even as my account is still 1 month old ,if anything happens to it I'll be hurt because of the time invested into it. Unlike noisecash, to get your account back here is very hard. Once you are tagged spam it takes lot of hard work and dedication to get it back to normal. You can avoid this by doing everything with moderation.
I know i talk too much . And talking about topics like this might offend some quarters. I'm sorry I'm still a boyπ and can be corrected. Pardon me.
Finally feel free to tag anyone whenever you wish, myself included. I might even upvote your article because of that.hehehe. In case you write about anyone - Marc or any other person, endeavour to tag them. They will appreciate it. I'll do the same if someone do that for me. But in all things let's apply moderation.
Thanks for reading!π€π€π€
I intentionally didn't tagged the names i mentioned in the article, for that might be a relapse in getting my message. However, if you see me tag someone to my article Tomorrow, don't come using my words against me...π€£π€£π€£
Moderation is always a good practice in everything we do. You are right, I stop reading articles of people who tag me too often too. It has to be relevant and balanced. I like to tag my sponsors maybe once a month, just to show my gratitude, but tagging them in every article would be over the top.
Great article π
