Thank you for the tips and for the tag and link to my post @AdrianLunsong
As you know, adding photos to a post is something that is really important for me. A am perfectly aware of the 1000 photo limit (I was one of the first to hit the limit), so I want to do a bit in deep in some of your tips adding some example.
Adding a photo album: if you check the album: Bordano - the butterflies village, you'll see how you can use and organize the album to add "a story in the story", which can really complement your post.
Adding a GIF file. I use Google Photos to create GIF files, thus sharing multiple photos in a single file. The quality of the photos is obviously reduced, but the effect on the post is interesting. A GIF file can also be used as a "cover photo", making your post really "catchy"
Thanks very much @deepakjhic ! We all have different skills.. don't forget you're a Level 9 Local Guide!! I'm still miles from getting there and I know just how much work goes into levelling up! So kudos to you too! And don't forget, what you're not good at, can always be improved! So, don't give up, learn from the community.. read various post and study what you like/don't like about the post and when it's time for you to write your own, put your knowledge to good use!
You're welcome @ahadilugo ! I'm glad you're getting positive reception to your post! Part of it is being a good story teller (so that can be your writing style, the layout, the photos etc). Part of it can be choosing topics that get the readers excited! And also, what I found with Connect, is that you will also need to nurture your readers. So you should spend time engaging with your readers and also with the community.
When you read a good post on Connect, let the author know! Perhaps ask questions, find out more, start a discussion. All these things help you engage with others and build a good relationship!
@AdamGT Sadly no. But I do a lot of my work on mobile; doing outlines, making plans, photo editing, podcast editing etc. I don't like typing on mobile and that's the only time I switch over to the laptop. It's a bit of pain as I rely heavily on Drive to be able to move my files back and forth and work either on mobile or Chromebook, but it works!
