I was asked by a couple people how to get ahead on here. I'm not sure
if its worth it, the points are just for fun from what I've read, the
real prize is all about our
Evokations. But if getting points is
important to you, here's what I've been doing:
Add as many people from all different places as friends as you can.
Never add a friend without giving them at least 2 constructive comments
or questions to their blogs and photos. Power voting is nice, but
doesn't get their attention. Insightful comments usually do, but
mindless cheerleading doesn't usually make them go check out your
posts...
Add all the active people as friends. You can tell who is active by the
green online now thing, or better yet by the fact that they're posting
content.
Read their content.
Give them worthwhile responses, constructive criticism, not just 'good job'. Thats what mentoring is all about.
If you do that enough, people will notice you, then check out your content.
Post great content: inspiring blogs, photos, and videos (most of you are already doing that).
Rate your own content if you think it deserves it.
Challenge the network, start a game (you could join on
Agent Baird's Photo contest if you want, but make sure they're
thought provoking images).
The best thing you can do, and you already seem to be doing it, is
taking action in your own life. In Kareemveer's case,
building his own
windmill was really cool...
Take it to the next level. Now hook it up to a voltmeter or a battery
and make a video or take a picture. Build a bigger one and put it
somewhere windy. Get some friends to do it too. Charge your phone or
computer off it. Post a link to it on Alchemy's NEXTSTEP thread.
Another really important thing is to link to other agents in your
nextsteps and posts. The more stuff you do inspired by other agents,
the more big point boosts Alchemy gives you. Ripping an agent off or
plagiarizing gets you nothing, linking to a post that inspired you to
create something can get you a 50 point bonus, AND a boost to the
Agents that inspired you.
Keep it up, you're on the right track, it takes a time commitment and
some strategy. Make sure that you keep the Evokation in mind more than
anything though, thats going to be the real test. This is just a warmup.
